Fix The Handoff Before You Buy More Inquiries
Count same-day answers, second contacts, and estimates before you increase ad spend.
Published 2026-11-03. Intent: Repair follow-up before buying more inquiries. Confirm government rules on the linked official page before you apply, borrow, or certify.
Three Counts
For the last twenty inquiries, mark whether someone answered the same day, whether there was a second contact, and whether an estimate went out. Those three marks are the handoff. A dashboard full of clicks does not replace them.
Who Owns The Second Contact
Name a person. If the owner is on the tools all day, the second contact will not happen unless someone else has the job. That is an operations fact, not a media-buying fact.
Then Decide On More Volume
If most inquiries already get a same-day answer and a second contact, more volume might be the constraint. If they do not, fix the handoff first. Nothing here promises a cost per lead.
