Your instant quote tool has a public quote page that customers open from your link. This article covers the link, the code for
your website, the widget look, and how long quotes stay valid.

## Set your public URL slug

The **Public URL Slug** card sets the last part of your quote link. It sits on the
[**Instant Quote Tool**](/go/instant-quotes/settings) page, under the **Settings** tab.

1. In the **Slug** field, after jobwisepro.com/get-quote/, type the name you want. Capitals
   become lowercase, spaces become dashes, and other symbols are removed as you type.
2. Use 2 to 80 characters. Start with a letter or number, and don't end with a dash or
   put two dashes in a row.
3. Click **Save slug**. The button stays off until the slug is valid and different from the
   saved one.

The page confirms a successful save.
If a save fails, the page shows the reason. You can change your slug twice every 72
hours.

> **Warning:** If you change a slug you already saved, the old link redirects to the new one
> for 14 days, then stops working. Embed codes and shared links with the
> old slug stop working when the redirect ends.

## Copy your link or embed code

Open the **Add to Website** tab.
The **Add to your website** card shows your embed code with your address and slug already
filled in. It takes this
form:

```html
<script src="https://<your JobWise address>/embed.js" async></script>
<jobwise-instant-quote slug="your-slug"></jobwise-instant-quote>
```

1. Click **Copy code** in the **Add to your website** card.
2. Paste it where you want the quote tool, or send it to whoever manages your website.
3. For a fixed-size embed, open **Use a fixed-size embed instead** and click its **Copy code**
   button.

> **Note:** If no slug is saved, the code and link use a fallback code.

The **Send it to customers** card holds your link, which takes this form:

```text
https://<your JobWise address>/get-quote/<slug>
```

Click **Copy link**, then text or email it to customers, or add it to your social bio.

## Style the widget

Open the [**Instant Quote Tool**](/go/instant-quotes/settings) page. **Customize the Look** holds
the widget settings.

1. In **Widget logo**, add a logo. The help text lists the accepted formats (PNG, JPG, WebP, or
   SVG) and a 5 MB limit. Leave it blank to use your brand logo.
2. In **Widget color**, enter a six-digit hex color. Leave it blank to use your brand color. Other values
   aren't saved, and the page shows an error.
3. Under **Widget Theme**, choose **Light** or **Dark** for how the widget renders against
   your color.
4. Click **Save widget appearance**. The logo, color, and theme save together, and the
   button then reads **Saved**.

If the color is hard to read, the page warns that text and buttons will use a corrected shade.
Your changes show in the **Live preview** panel.

## Set how long quotes stay valid

The **Quote Settings** card holds the expiration setting. Only people with edit access
to quoting tools see it.

1. Find the **Quote Settings** card on the **Settings** tab.
2. In **Quote expiration (days)**, enter a number of days from 1 to 365. The field
   starts at your saved value, or at 30 if none is saved.
3. Click **Save changes** in the **Quote Settings** card.

The button reads **Saved** for about 1.5 seconds after a successful save.

Each instant quote gets its valid-until date when the customer submits it: the submission day in your business's time zone plus the number of days set here. Changing the setting only affects quotes submitted afterwards, and quotes already sent keep their date.

The date shows on the customer's result screen, in the estimate email and text, and on the quote link page, which reads **Expired** once the date passes. Your team sees it on each quote in [Quote Requests](/help/instant-quotes/handle-quote-requests).

> **Note:** Decimals are cut to whole days. A number outside 1 to
> 365 isn't saved, and the page shows a message.

## What the live status means

The top of the **Add to Website** tab says whether your quote tool is live.
When it is live, the text under that heading says every quote comes back as a lead.

Until then, the page asks you to finish the **What to Fix Before Going Live** checklist first.
Items with a link are clickable, and the others are plain text.

**Copy code** and **Copy link** stay disabled until the tool is live.

The public quote page checks each customer's address against your service area
and says whether you serve it. A customer outside your area cannot continue.

To change your area, see [Set your service area](/help/instant-quotes/set-your-service-area).
