Specialty trades websites for Swept that stop handoff leaks

What breaks first
What is broken on most specialty-trades websites
We keep seeing the same leak: highly specific technical work is marketed like a handyman line, so sales cannot tell a fit job from a time-waster until after three calls. Swept helps once crews and contracts exist; the website should capture trade vertical, compliance needs, and timeline before anyone opens Swept.
Cost of delay
A weak specialty handoff can cost the certified crew window, the GC hold slot, or the bid deadline that does not move.
Industry context lives at /for/specialty-trades.
What the connected website changes
What a Swept-connected website does instead
Swept does not publish public website embeds or open APIs for marketing-site lead capture, so the practical pattern is hybrid: the site captures trade category, certification requirements, site conditions, and decision role into CRM or email first, then operations mirrors sold work into Swept manually.
Native path
There is no native marketing-site-to-Swept lead pipe; Swept supports execution once jobs are defined inside the product.
API or managed intake
Because there is no public API, developers cannot programmatically create clients, locations, or schedules from a custom web application.
Connection patterns
How the connection works
Hybrid: website to CRM or email, then Swept
The website qualifies niche scope and buyer readiness. CRM or email owns the thread until the job is real, then ops enters Swept to align crews and visits.
When to use
Use this when specialty work needs human triage before Swept reflects reality.
Custom Specialty Trades intake + manual Swept entry
The site captures drawings links, spec sheets, safety constraints, and union or GC rules so estimators start informed.
When to use
Use when complex jobs need structured intake and manual Swept sync.

Project or site type
Industrial, historical, healthcare-adjacent, or occupied sites change risk and crew mix.

Compliance or certification needs
Avoid sending the wrong ticket to a crew that cannot legally perform the work.
Field
Decision timeline or bid deadline

We usually find 3 Swept handoff leaks on Specialty Trades sites.
- We keep running into this: commercial and residential specialty requests are not separated at capture.
- We keep running into this: certification, insurance, and bonding questions wait until the first call.
- We keep running into this: the website does not capture enough specialty trades context before the handoff.
