calculator pages now have a copy link so you can send quotes to clients.

Run a calculation. Get a link. Send it to a friend. They see your exact numbers.

When you use a calculator on npclocal, roof cost, AC repair, plumbing bill, you can now hit a share button and get a permalink. That link has your numbers baked in. Send it to someone. They see exactly what you calculated.

Here's how it works: you put in your address, your roof size, your roof type. Hit calculate. The numbers show up. Hit share. You get a link. That link remembers everything you entered. No one has to re-enter data. They just open it and see what you got.

Why it matters: people actually use these calculators to get rough quotes before they call a pro. Now they can share what they found with a spouse, a friend, a parent. No screenshots. No 'wait let me recalculate that for you.' Just one link that shows the exact estimate.

We also used this to make the calculator pages self-distributing. When people share estimates, they're telling their friends about npclocal. The site grows because the tool is useful, not because we're shouting about it.
