AI marketing for patio and shade companies
Your season is short, your lead times are long and the decision gets made in about four hot weekends. Flo keeps you visible in the months before those weekends arrive.
The people who buy in June started thinking about it in March, and they were reading somebody.
Built for a season that opens and shuts fast.
A short season, and long lead times
Demand spikes when it gets hot and your engineered systems take weeks to arrive, so the customers who call in July cannot be served in July. The only fix is being the company they were already reading in March. Four things make that happen.
Compressed Buying Window
A few hot weekends generating most of the year's inquiries.
Lead Times Disappoint
Engineered systems that cannot arrive inside the season people want them.
Permit Surprises
Structural attachment turning a quick project into a schedule problem.
Priced Against A Kit
Compared to a big box pergola and a weekend of somebody's time.
Four apps, one company, no blank page
You correct a draft instead of facing a blank page, and the voice sharpens each time.

What MoFlo accounts in other industries have measured
Other home improvement trades we set up differently
A custom patio builder runs a different setup, so they do not get this page.
Marketing by company size
The same platform, framed by how many crews you run, not by what you install.
You have questions. We have answers.
The five that come up before a patio and shade company signs.
Our whole year happens in six weeks.
Which is why the work has to be done in the twelve before it. People who buy in June began reading in March, and the company they found then is the one they call when it gets hot.
How do we handle lead times without losing the sale?
By stating them everywhere. A published eleven week timeline tells a July inquiry to expect a September install before they put down a deposit, and it answers the lead time question your reviews keep raising.
Customers compare us to a kit from the big box.
Then show the footing. A post base set in concrete and an engineered attachment to the house are not the same product as four bolts and an afternoon, and one photograph makes that obvious.
Does permit content scare people off?
It does the opposite. A homeowner who understands why a structural attachment needs a permit reads you as the professional option instead of the expensive one.
What does it cost for a shade company?
MoMail is $79/mo and MoReviews $99/mo. MoSocial and MoBlogs are $149/mo each, and all four together are $299/mo, with a free week and no contract. Most start with MoSocial, since the install photographs already exist.
