Garage Doors
Spring, opener, and off-track leads answered in under a minute, with a same-day window in the first reply and the spam parked before the crew sees it.
The car is stuck inside and work starts at 8. That lead is worth 60 seconds.
What your leads actually say
Three messages garage door companies get every week
Verbatim in spirit. Each one arrived while the person who should answer it was on a job, and each one was also sent to 2 or 3 competitors.
“Garage door made a loud bang and now it will not open. Car is inside and I need to be at work by 8. Can anyone come this morning?”
“Opener is 20 years old and struggling. Want a new one with the phone app. What brands do you carry and what does install cost?”
“Door came off the track when my son backed into it. It is halfway open. Is that something you can fix today?”
How LeadBolt answers
Composed for the lead in front of it, in about 45 seconds
The reply on the right is the kind of message Live Wire, the auto-responder, sends to garage door companies. It is built from what the customer wrote, the service LeadBolt classified, the time of day and whether you are open, the city, and the facts you set: your prices, your policies, your license. Nothing is pasted from a script bank, and no two leads get the same message.
Strike First, the speed-to-lead engine, sends it in about 45 seconds, during hours and after. Lightning Rod, the spam detection, has already parked the lead resellers and the marketing pitches, so the crew only ever sees customers. If the customer goes quiet, Boomerang, the ghost-lead follow-up, nudges them until they answer or say stop, and the whole thread lives in Switchboard, the unified inbox, where a person can take over with one tap.
Hi Chris, this is ACME Garage Doors. A loud bang followed by a door that will not lift is almost always a broken torsion spring, a same-visit repair we stock parts for. Do not try to lift it by hand. We can be in Surprise today between 7 and 9 AM or 10 AM to noon. Reply 1 or 2 and we will get the car out.

The services you can auto-book
6 of 8 book from the first reply
Springs, openers, off-track fixes, cables, and tune-ups book from the first reply with the service call fee stated. New doors and commercial work need measurements and a style choice, so the reply books the measure visit.
With Dispatch, the scheduling add-on, the first reply offers 2 or 3 real windows and the customer books by texting a number. Services that need a quote get the estimate visit booked the same way, which is still a booking on your calendar.

Where these leads come from
The sources that matter most for garage door companies
Every one of them gets the same treatment: instant reply, spam screening, one inbox, and revenue attribution. Each is connected with you on a call, included with every plan.
Yelp
Where the stuck-car search ends, usually on whoever shows 'Responds in about 10 minutes'.
Google Local Services
Emergency message leads that convert in minutes or not at all.
Google Ads
New door and opener searches, attributed back to the revenue they produced.
Website forms
The late-night 'door will not close' form that needs an answer before the house is left open.
Phone calls
Missed-call text back, because most garage door leads dial first and message second.
Seasonality and timing
When garage door companies get buried, and why the clock matters more then
Garage door failures cluster in the cold, when springs snap on the first freezing morning, and in the heat, when openers overheat and sensors drift. Both produce mornings where 30 people need the same thing before 8 AM. The rest of the year is steady, with a bump in spring when homeowners decide the door is the ugliest thing on the street and start pricing replacements.
Throttle, the Yelp ad tuning, boosts the repair keywords on cold mornings and the new-door keywords in spring, and blocks the ones that only bring parts shoppers. After hours is the whole game here: the door fails at 6 AM or 9 PM, never at 2 in the afternoon. The after-hours voice tells the customer not to lift it, captures the address, and offers the first real morning slot, which is usually enough to win it.
Plans start at $149/mo and every plan answers every lead in under a minute. Throttle is included in Pro. See pricing for the full grid.
