Step 1: Setting Up the Autobidder
1.1. Defining Your Services
To begin, you need to define the services you offer. In Nevin's example, the primary services are gas station cleaning, canopy cleaning, concrete cleaning, and pump cleaning. Consider separating services if you offer multiple aspects of gas station cleaning to make the process smoother for your clients.
1.2. Service Pricing
- Concrete Cleaning: Nevin starts by setting up pricing for concrete cleaning. He suggests pricing based on square footage, condition (e.g., minor stains, medium, heavy oil stains), and the number of pumps.
- Canopy Cleaning: For canopy cleaning, consider a different pricing structure. In Nevin's example, he adds a 10% premium to the concrete cleaning price by default, assuming it's easier to clean.
- Pump Cleaning: Nevin suggests a separate, fixed price for pump cleaning, irrespective of the square footage.
1.3. Autobidder Interface
- Create a user-friendly interface for your autobidder. Nevin recommends using images to enhance the user experience.
- Use conditional logic to display questions based on the client's choices. For example, if they select "concrete," show questions related to concrete cleaning.
- Ensure that the autobidder can handle all the service options you offer.
Step 2: Integrating Autobidder with Your Website
2.1. Adding a New Page
- Create a new page on your website specifically for the autobidder. Nevin suggests naming it "Instant Bid" or something similar.
- You can choose to hide this page from the main navigation menu to keep your site organized.
2.2. Design Integration
- Ensure that the autobidder page's design aligns with your website's style and color scheme.
- Use the same fonts and color codes to make the autobidder seamlessly blend with your website.
- Nevin demonstrates how to do this step in the video.
2.3. Embedding Autobidder
- Copy the code generated by your autobidder tool and paste it into the HTML of your "Instant Bid" page.
- Adjust the appearance and positioning of the autobidder on the page as needed.
- Test the autobidder with various service selections to ensure it generates accurate quotes.
