What happens to every enquiry
The Lead System is the website plus everything that happens after someone fills in the form. Most service businesses don’t lose work because their site looks dated. They lose it in the hours between an enquiry arriving and someone replying.
Most enquiries go to whoever replies first. If you’re on a roof or under a sink when the form comes in, that’s rarely you. The system replies straight away, day or night, asks the follow-up questions you’d ask, and keeps the conversation going until you’re free.
Every enquiry ends up as a short summary like this one, so you can decide in seconds whether it’s worth a call back:
Enquiry summary
- Job type
- Bathroom renovation — tub-to-shower conversion, upstairs, about 5 × 8 ft
- Urgency
- Medium — wants it finished before Christmas
- Budget signal
- Around $15,000, stated by the client
- Next step
- Book a site visit this week
What your customers see
They fill in the form on your website and describe the job in their own words. Within a minute they get a reply that responds to what they actually wrote, not an automatic “we received your message”.
The system then asks up to three follow-up questions, the ones you’d ask yourself: where the job is, how big it is, when they need it done, roughly what they want to spend. If they want to, they can pick a time for a call or a site visit straight from your calendar.
If they go quiet halfway through, a follow-up goes out, so the enquiry doesn’t simply die in an inbox.
Who it’s for
It’s for businesses that already get enquiries and lose some of them to slow replies: renovation contractors, plumbers, electricians, cleaning services, dental clinics. Anyone whose work starts with a phone call or a form.
It isn’t the right fit if you get almost no enquiries at all. A system that answers enquiries can’t create demand. In that case the Website package, with your Google Business Profile set up properly, is the better first step, and you’ll hear that on the call.

How it works
From the first call to the first monthly report:
Step 1
Call
15 minutes. I look at your current site and tell you what’s broken.
Step 2
Audit & proposal
A short written audit of where enquiries are being lost, with the scope and price.
Step 3
Build
I build it mobile first and test it with you before it goes live.
Step 4
Run it and report monthly
I host it, keep it running, and send you a report each month: how many enquiries came in, from where, and what happened to them.
What the monthly report shows
Once a month you get a short report: how many enquiries came in, where each one came from, and what happened to it.
“Where from” means the website form, a call from the site, your Google Business Profile or another listing, so you can see which ones actually bring work. “What happened” means whether the enquiry was answered, booked or went quiet.
It’s also how you decide whether the system is worth its monthly fee.
How long it takes
Four to six weeks from the go-ahead to going live.
Most of that time goes into building and testing: the website, the intake questions for your kind of work, the notifications and the follow-ups. Before launch it’s tested with you, using realistic enquiries, so you see exactly what your customers will see. The main things that move the date are the number of services and towns the site covers, and how quickly answers come back during the build.
What it costs
From $1,950 to set up, then $200/month.
The setup covers building the website and the system around it. The monthly fee covers hosting, updates, monitoring, small changes and the monthly report.
The exact setup price depends on the size of the site and what it needs to connect to, such as your calendar. You get it in writing, in the proposal after the call, before any work starts. The monthly fee runs month to month, with no minimum term.
Every project is scoped on a call. These are starting points, not quotes.
What happens if it doesn’t work
You’ll see it in the numbers. The monthly report shows how many enquiries came in, where they came from and what happened to each one, so you don’t have to take anyone’s word for it.
If it isn’t paying for itself, stop. There’s no minimum term. When you cancel, you get everything: the website, the automations and the accounts they run on. Keep running them yourself or hand them to someone else.

Questions
- Is there a contract or a minimum term?
- No minimum term. After the setup, the monthly fee runs month to month, and you can stop at the end of any month.
- What happens to my website if I stop?
- You keep it. When you cancel, the website, the automations and the accounts they run on are handed over to you. You can run them yourself or give them to another developer.
- How fast are new enquiries answered?
- In under 60 seconds, day or night, weekends included. You get a notification at the same moment, so you can step in whenever you want.
- Will it quote prices or make promises to my customers?
- No. It asks the questions you’d ask, such as what the job is, how urgent it is and roughly what budget they have, then passes the summary to you. Prices, dates and site visits stay your decision.
- Can customers book a time straight into my calendar?
- Yes. Calendar booking is included, so a customer can pick a slot for a call or a site visit from the times you make available.
- How much of my time does it take?
- A call at the start, answers to a few questions about your work during the build, and a review before it goes live. After launch, you read the enquiry summaries as they arrive and the report once a month.
