What's broken on most general contractor websites
We're getting inquiries, but the site does not tell us enough to know which ones are real projects and which ones are a waste of estimator time. We still see kitchen remodels, deck builds, and commercial questions land in one generic form with no budget, timing, or scope detail. That forces the team to rebuild the story by phone while better-fit buyers move on to the first contractor who sounds organized.
Cost of delay
A slow or vague first reply can cost the consultation window, the higher-value project, and the referral value tied to a well-run GC process.

What the connected website changes
What a Jobber-connected website does instead
The website separates residential, commercial, and multi-scope project intent before the handoff starts. On the native path, Jobber receives a Request through the documented request or booking experience. On the custom path, the site can run Jobber's OAuth authorization-code flow and GraphQL API so the Client record and project-fit detail are cleaner before the office starts qualification.
Native path
Use Jobber's native request path when the contractor mainly needs simple lead capture into the office workflow.
API or managed intake
Use the GraphQL path when project type, budget, and division routing need to be captured before the inquiry reaches the estimator.
Connection patterns
How the connection works
Native Jobber Request intake
The website sends the buyer through Jobber's native request or booking flow so the office sees a Request right away. This fits when the team can do the rest of qualification inside the normal Jobber workflow.
When to use
Choose this when the contractor wants the fastest lead handoff and does not need deeper pre-routing on the website.
Custom GC intake + Jobber GraphQL
The website captures project type, location, budget range, target timeline, and scope notes before a backend uses Jobber's OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow and GraphQL API. That keeps a higher-value project from arriving as a blind contact form.
When to use
Choose this when residential, commercial, and multi-scope opportunities need different routing before the first callback.

Field
Scope notes
Gives the office enough context to decide who should own follow-up.
We usually find 3 Jobber handoff leaks on GC sites.
- We keep running into this: kitchen remodels, deck builds, and commercial inquiries all land in the same callback queue.
- We keep running into this: the form never captures budget or timing early enough for a confident first reply.
Workflow path
Typical general contractors + Jobber workflows
Residential project inquiry
Trigger
A homeowner wants to discuss a remodel, addition, or new project.
Capture
The website captures project type, budget, and timeline before the estimator calls back.
Platform handoff
Jobber receives a cleaner Request or Client-first handoff so the office can qualify the opportunity without starting from zero.
Commercial or multi-scope inquiry
Trigger
A property owner or business sends a broader capability or project question.
Capture
The intake routes the request with location and scope detail instead of dropping it into the same residential queue.
Platform handoff
The office sees the handoff in Jobber with enough context to assign the right estimator or owner.
Referral or repeat-client intake
Trigger
A past client or referral reaches back out for another project.
Capture
The website preserves project-fit detail so the first reply sounds informed instead of generic.
Platform handoff
Jobber gets a cleaner record that the office can work forward into the next estimate or quote path.
Direct value

What lands in Jobber first?
See the tailored Jobber demo for general contractors
We will show where the current GC handoff breaks and what the website should capture before the lead reaches Jobber.
If we're still wasting estimator time because the site never asked the right budget, timing, or scope questions, we need to fix that before anything goes live.
