digital — leads & conversion
Lead quality: fewer enquiries, better ones.
There's a point where more enquiries makes a business worse — quoting jobs you'd decline, chasing tyre-kickers between real customers, paying media budget for the privilege. Quality tuning turns the same system toward worth: fencing out the wrong work, qualifying without friction, and feeding what wins back into the channels.
where quality leaks in
Three sources of the wrong enquiry.
Channels fenced loosely
Ads matching searches adjacent to your work, suburbs you don't serve, jobs below your minimum. Every wrong enquiry that costs a click cost twice — the media and the minutes spent declining it.
Pages that promise everyone everything
Copy scrubbed of scope invites everyone, including the mismatches. Honest boundary lines — commercial only, minimum call-out, areas served — repel exactly the enquiries you'd have turned away anyway.
Forms that qualify nothing
Name-and-number forms make every enquiry look identical until someone spends twenty minutes finding out. Two well-chosen questions — the job type, the property type — sort the queue before anyone dials.
what we actually do
Tune the system for worth.
Fence audit
Search terms, audiences and geographies reviewed against the jobs you actually want — negatives added, targeting narrowed, budget pulled off the categories your quote log says never close.
Scope honesty on the pages
Boundary lines written into the copy where they filter, not hidden in an FAQ. It costs a little volume and buys back the hours your estimator spends declining.
The quality feedback loop
Quote rate, win rate and won value by source, read monthly, pushed back into bids and budgets — so the channels learn what your business calls a good lead. The measurement spine makes this loop possible.
straight answers
Asked often.
Can I get fewer but better enquiries?
Yes — that's usually a tightening exercise: harder fences on the ads, honest scope statements on the pages ("minimum call-out", "commercial only"), and a form that asks the two questions that separate your work from the work you decline.
Won't qualifying questions scare off real customers?
A short, sensible question set filters browsers and reassures buyers — serious customers expect to describe the job. What kills conversion is bureaucracy: twelve fields, mandatory everything. Two well-chosen questions do the work.
How do we measure lead quality?
Quote rate — what share of enquiries were worth pricing — then win rate and won value by source. Those three numbers, read together monthly, locate the quality problem precisely: channel, page or follow-up.
