Response time is your single biggest conversion lever.

Bigger than your website. Bigger than your reviews. Bigger than your ads.

What the data says about speed-to-lead.

Industry Avg
Average response time in home services. The bar is low. Beating it is easy money.

When someone fills out a form, they’re also filling out three others.

The first business that calls back gets the conversation. The other three are talking to voicemail. Response time isn’t about being polite. It’s about who gets there first.

Three moves.

  • 01
    Get instant alerts
    Lead notifications to phone, not just email. Email goes unchecked. Phones don’t.
  • 02
    Auto-text on submission
    Within 30 seconds, the lead gets a text saying “we got your request, calling now.” They wait.
  • 03
    Block 30 minutes a day for callbacks
    If you can’t answer in real time, the next best thing is a known callback window.
The takeaway

You don’t need more leads. You need to close the ones you have.

Speed-to-lead is free. Most owners leave it on the table.
