A storm-season checklist for your tree service website

The first storm of the season is a bad time to discover that your emergency page is buried or your form is broken. Work through this checklist while the weather is calm, so your site is ready when trees come down.

Emergency page

  • A page for emergency and storm tree removal, linked from the homepage and main menu.
  • A heading that matches the search ("emergency tree removal") and the towns you serve in the text.
  • Your number at the top, with a call button that stays on screen on phones.

Safety first

Every storm page should tell visitors to stay away from downed lines and trees touching wires and to contact the utility first. Do not suggest that homeowners cut or climb anything. The safety note protects people and shows that you take the work seriously.

Requests you can prioritize

  • Address or ZIP and the best callback number.
  • What is damaged: house, vehicle, fence, driveway or nothing.
  • Photos taken from a safe distance.
  • Whether anyone is in danger or access is blocked.

When call volume spikes, these details let you call back the urgent jobs first.

Honest response times

After a big storm every tree service is overloaded. Say how you prioritize (trees on structures first, then blocked access, then cleanup) rather than promising a time you cannot meet. Update the homepage message when you are booked out.

Weather alerts and hazard checks

A severe weather alert tool that checks National Weather Service alerts for the visitor's address, and a from-the-ground hazard checklist, give visitors a reason to stay on your site before and after storms. Both should end in your request form.

Insurance language

Suggest that customers photograph damage before work begins and say whether you provide written descriptions of the work. Do not imply that any claim will be paid.
