What it adds to your business in dollars
The first roofer to reach a hail-struck homeowner wins the job. The extension cuts the gap to seconds — and unlike SMS or email, the homeowner has already given desktop notification permission. That’s the booking before a competitor even pulls up the map.
Three or four moves. Then you walk away.
You: Add the extension to your Storm Tool checkout page.
System: Homeowners install it once and forget about it — until a storm.
You: Let prospects install it for free.
System: They become a lead funnel — you get the first call when their ZIP lights up.
You: Sit back during hail season.
System: The toolbar does the dispatching for you.
The outcomes this feature feeds into
Before you ask
Do my homeowners actually install browser extensions?
They install yours because the value is immediate and felt — storm alerts for their address, not yours. Adoption correlates directly with retention, referral, and reactivation in every cohort we’ve tracked.
What about Safari?
Safari ships in the Apple & Mobile Ecosystem Bundle (it needs an Xcode-paired container app). Chrome, Edge, and Firefox are in the core product.
How do I get homeowners to install it?
Email signature link at job completion. QR code on the Crew Day Pack closing form. One-click prompt on the warranty page. Install rates above 30% are normal when we put it in front of the homeowner once.
Is this just an alert tool?
No — it’s also a save-to-project right-click (capture a competitor’s ad, a Pinterest roof you like), a referral share trigger, a warranty quick-view, an emergency-call button, and a quote-pull-up in any tab. The storm alerts are the loudest feature, not the only one.
Will Manifest V3 break it?
It’s built on Manifest V3 from day one. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all support it; we don’t carry V2-era technical debt that needs migrating.
