Demo Β· Prepared for Aaron Schwetz Β· Squared Up Builds Β· Kittitas County WA

One lead pipeline. Two front doors.

Right now, every person who DMs your Instagram or visits squaredupbuilds509.com has exactly one way in: call or email. This demo shows what happens when the DMs answer themselves, the website asks the right questions, and every inquiry lands in one lead sheet β€” qualified, with contact details, before you've picked up the phone.

Demo 01 β€” Instagram DMs

A DM comes in. The conversation runs itself.

Someone replies to a story or messages the page asking about a remodel. The keyword triggers an automated conversation that qualifies the project and captures contact details β€” try it: tap the blue replies in the phone, or hit auto-play and watch it go.

Typically replies within minutes
Captured while you chat 0 / 8 fields

On the live build this runs in ManyChat on your Instagram account β€” same tool as the Sergio build. The visitor never fills out a form; they just have a conversation.

Where it all lands

The lead sheet β€” filled in before you call back.

Both front doors write to the same Google Sheet the moment a conversation or form finishes, and Aaron gets an email notification for every new row. No more "can you text me the details" β€” the details arrive with the lead.

Demo 02 β€” The website

Turn the website from a brochure into a front door.

The current site lists a phone number and an Outlook address β€” that's the entire capture. A short, three-step estimate form asks the same qualifying questions as the DM flow and feeds the same sheet. Try it β€” it's pre-filled with a sample lead so you can click straight through.

Scroll up β€” the lead just hit the sheet.

Why a form beats "call us"

  • Captures the after-hours visitor. Homeowners research remodels at 9pm. Nobody calls at 9pm β€” but they will tap through three steps.
  • Pre-qualifies every inquiry. Project type, location, timeline, and budget arrive before the first call, so Aaron walks in knowing whether it's a $5k or $80k job.
  • Builds on the existing Wix site. This drops into the current site β€” no rebuild required to start capturing.
  • One pipeline. Website and Instagram leads land in the same sheet with a source tag, so nothing lives in two inboxes.

Behind the scenes

How the DM automation works.

01 Β· TRIGGER

Keyword detected

A DM, story reply, or comment contains remodel estimate kitchen build… and the flow starts instantly, 24/7.

02 Β· QUALIFY

Conversation, not a form

Tap-to-answer questions cover project type, scope, location, timeline, and budget. Feels like texting, not paperwork.

03 Β· CAPTURE

Contact details

Name, phone, and email are validated and saved. If someone bails early, you still keep their IG handle to follow up.

04 Β· DELIVER

Sheet + notification

A row is added to the lead sheet and Aaron gets an email (or text) with the full summary β€” same day, every time.

Website review β€” squaredupbuilds509.com

What the current site leaves on the table.

The bones are there β€” services, service area, contact info, an active brand. But the site is set up to be read, not to capture. Reviewed July 2026:

HIGH

No way to capture a lead

The only actions on the entire site are "call this number" or "email this address." Any visitor who isn't ready to talk β€” most of them β€” leaves without a trace. The estimate form above fixes this directly.

HIGH

"Free estimates" is buried

Free estimates are the strongest offer on the site, and they're mentioned in body text on an inner page. This should be the primary orange button on every page, top right and bottom.

HIGH

No project gallery

The Instagram is full of trim work, remodels, and finish carpentry β€” the site shows none of it. Embedding the IG feed or a curated before/after gallery is the fastest credibility win available.

MED

No testimonials or reviews

Thirteen years in business (est. 2013) and zero social proof on the site. Three short quotes with names and towns would carry real weight in a small county.

MED

Navigation labels don't say anything

"Information Page" gives visitors no reason to click. Rename to Services and Our Process; every label should answer "what's in it for me."

MED

No service or service-area pages

One page tries to rank for everything. Separate pages for kitchen remodels, bathrooms, and additions β€” plus Ellensburg / Cle Elum / Kittitas area pages β€” is how local contractors win the "kitchen remodel ellensburg" search.

LOW

Merch shop competes with the core business

"Shop The Brand" is fun, but it currently has equal navigation weight to Contact. Move it to the footer so the estimate CTA owns the spotlight.

LOW

Outlook email address

squaredupbuilds@outlook.com works, but aaron@squaredupbuilds509.com reads as established β€” and it's a 20-minute fix on the existing domain.

If Aaron's in

Rollout: small steps, fast wins.

PHASE 1 Β· ~1 DAY

DM automation live

Connect Aaron's Instagram to ManyChat, load this exact flow, wire up the lead sheet and notifications. Add "DM us ESTIMATE" to the bio and story CTAs.

PHASE 2 Β· ~1 WEEK

Website capture + polish

Add the 3-step estimate form to the existing Wix site, embed the IG gallery, fix navigation labels, and make "Free Estimate" the site-wide CTA.

PHASE 3 Β· ONGOING

Grow the engine

Story-reply and comment triggers, review collection after finished jobs, service-area pages for search β€” and a proper CRM when the sheet gets busy.
