Pergola & Shade Structure Builders / AI Lead Follow-Up (SMS + Email)
Automated SMS and email nurture that works every lead through the buyer journey. Built specifically for pergola & shade structure builders closing $15,000 - $75,000+ projects.
Category is new to most homeowners — they don't know what to search for until they see it (strong case for display and retargeting)
Premium aluminum pergolas (Struxure, Azenco, Renson, Apollo) look expensive on spec but homeowners often underestimate quality differences between brands
Lots of competition from general patio/awning companies who treat pergolas as side scope rather than specialty
Installation is complex — dimensions, mounting, electrical integration, automation — and homeowners want to see process content
Dealer-brand requirements (for Struxure, Azenco, etc.) mean marketing has to balance personal brand with franchise/dealer brand rules
Pergola & Shade Structure Builders close $15,000 - $75,000+ projects with a 30-60 day buyer journey. That means ai lead follow-up (sms + email) has to be built around a longer consideration cycle, higher trust requirements, and homeowners who are comparing multiple contractors before making a decision.
