Pool Service
Weekly service, repair, and green-to-clean leads answered in under a minute and booked onto the route without anyone reading the inbox.
Green pool, party Saturday. That message gets answered in a minute, not a day.
What your leads actually say
Three messages pool 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.
“Just bought a house with a pool and it is green. We have a party next Saturday. Can you get it swimmable by then and what does that cost?”
“Looking for weekly pool service in Ahwatukee, about 15,000 gallons, with a spa. What is your monthly rate and does it include chemicals?”
“Pool pump is making a grinding noise and the pressure gauge is high. Do you do repairs or just cleaning?”
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 pool 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 Marcus, this is ACME Pools. A green pool is usually swimmable in 4 to 7 days, so next Saturday is realistic if we start this week. Green-to-clean runs $350 to $450 depending on how far gone it is, and we confirm on the first visit. We can start in Ahwatukee tomorrow 8 to 10 AM or Wednesday 1 to 3 PM. Reply 1 or 2.

Illustrative reply. The appointment windows come from Dispatch, the scheduling add-on.
The services you can auto-book
6 of 9 book from the first reply
Weekly service, cleanups, filters, repairs, and inspections book from the first reply at your rates. Heaters, equipment upgrades, and resurfacing need a look at the pad and the plaster, so the reply books the inspection.
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. Which services are bookable is set per service inside LeadBolt, so the list below is a starting point, not a rule.

Where these leads come from
The sources that matter most for pool 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

Repair leads and missed calls, texted back in seconds.
Nextdoor
Every pool neighborhood has a 'who is your pool guy' thread, and it produces routes.
Website forms
The weekly-service sign-up and the Sunday 'pump is loud' message.
SMS
Existing customers text the same number, and those threads land in the same inbox.
Seasonality and timing
When pool companies get buried, and why the clock matters more then
Pool demand opens with the first warm weekend and peaks in early summer, when every pool that was ignored all winter turns green in the same week. Equipment failures cluster in the heat, when pumps run 12 hours a day. Fall brings the closings in cold markets and the weekly-service switchers everywhere, when customers fire the company that missed 3 visits in August.
Throttle, the Yelp ad tuning, boosts green-to-clean and repair keywords in the spring surge and shifts toward weekly-service keywords when the switchers appear. After hours matters because pool problems are discovered at dusk and on weekends: the grinding pump reported at 7 PM Sunday gets a reply that says to turn it off, captures the address, and offers Monday's first window, before the customer finds someone else who answered.
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.
