Estimated revenue loss per year
If you're losing more than $5,000 our services are a mere fraction of what we'll help you recoup. And if you're losing more than $25,000 per year, you need to contact us immediately.
Plug Your Lead Gen Leaks FastEstimate only: leads × leak rate × close rate × average job value, annualized. Your free lead-flow audit replaces this math with your real numbers, in writing.
What We Build
Less AI Hype. More Calls and Jobs.
Speed-to-Lead System
Missed call? The homeowner gets a text back in 2 minutes with a booking link. Every web lead gets an instant response. Every lead lands in your CRM, tagged.
Lead Qualification & Routing
Qualifying questions by SMS and email, automatic scoring, and smart routing — high-value jobs hit your phone immediately; tire-kickers get filed, not chased.
Booking & No-Show Reduction
Automated booking, confirmations, 24-hour and 2-hour reminders, no-show recovery texts, and reschedule flows. Fewer empty slots on the calendar.
Google Reviews Engine
Review requests fire automatically after job completion. Past customers get reactivation and seasonal campaigns. Your reputation compounds without you touching it.
Get AI to Recommend You
Get AIs like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity to recommend your business when homeowners asking relevant questions.

The Honest Comparison
How We Stack Up
Every contractor already has a lead-handling system, even if it's nothing more than a voicemail box and good intentions. Here's how we stack up against the DIY route and traditional agencies.
| What happens to a lead | Do it yourself | Typical web agency | Zap Whale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Missed call at 2 PM on a Tuesday | Voicemail. Maybe a callback tonight. | Not their job — they built the site. | Text back in 2 minutes with a booking link. |
| Web form submitted at 9 PM | Read tomorrow morning, if at all. | Email forwarded to your inbox. | Instant response, qualified, tagged in your CRM. |
| Qualifying the tire-kickers | You, on the phone, after work. | Not included. | Automatic scoring and routing — you only chase real jobs. |
| Reviews and repeat business | When you remember to ask. | Not included. | Fires automatically after every completed job. |
| Showing up in AI answers | Not happening. | Rarely — most don't build for it. | AEO/GEO structure built in from day one. |
The Founder
I Spend 30+ Hours/Week Using AI So You Don't Have To
I'm Chris Laub. I've spent 20 years in digital marketing and 11 years running direct response lead gen campaigns for Shark Tank and Inc. 5000 winners. Zap Whale exists because 99% of contractors don't have time to keep up with today's most advanced AI marketing strategies. More important, I practice what I preach by using the same website build process and same AI automation follow up strategies in my own business.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
Packages start at $297 per month and go up to $997 per month. One-off projects like websites and AEO/GEO audits are typically bundled into our monthly services, but can be provided via upfront pricing as well. If you'd like to request something a la carte, we can discuss on our call.
How long does it take?
Five business days for most builds, from completed intake to launch. If you request an audit rom us, your audit will contain a turnaround timeline if we expect things to take longer than five business days. Same for if we talk on the phone.
I already have a website — why would I need this?
The question is whether your website captures visitor's names, emails and phone numbers, responds to leads in under 2 minutes, recovers missed calls automatically and is configured to get you discovered by LLMs like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Most contractor's sites do none of that. We're not selling 'websites,' we're selling the system that turns your existing website traffic into booked jobs.
