Analytics for Sheds, Patios and Carports

A carport, a patio cover and a custom shed come with different buyers, prices and approval paths. A report that counts only leads will tell you little. Splitting by product shows, for example, that carport searches arrive after storms while patio interest builds as the weather warms, and each deserves its own budget.

The sales path has an unusual middle. After the site visit comes a quote, then often engineered plans and a permit, and only then a deposit and an install date. Many jobs stall at the permit stage through no fault of yours. Analytics should show where each lead sits, so a waiting job is not mistaken for a lost one.

Add-ons are where margin often hides. Insulated roof panels, lighting, fans, screens, gutters and concrete slabs raise the value of each job. Recording which add-ons were sold, and which source the buyer came from, tells you whether a channel brings customers who spend more or only the cheapest kit comparison.

Some customers arrive in ways that stay invisible. A buyer may come from a dealer showroom, a brand's own website or a friend's finished patio. We tag the sources we can, show the rest as untracked and keep the two clearly apart so decisions rest on the whole picture.
