    Why do garage doors leads go cold?

    Repair calls leave replacement quotes behind. A tech fixes a spring and quotes a new door. The homeowner says they'll think about it, and that's the end of it.

    Paid leads don't always book. One Local Services Ads dataset puts garage door leads at $49 each with a 37.8% book rate, so most paid leads never become a job.

    Past customers are forgotten. A garage door gets serviced once and the customer never hears from you again until it breaks.

    Why reopen garage door leads?

    Because you already paid for them. SearchLight data reported by Isoline Growth puts garage door Local Services Ads leads at about $49 each, with 37.8% booking (Isoline Growth). Read the other way, the majority of those paid leads never booked. Some went elsewhere; many just didn't get a second call.

    Those leads, plus every replacement quote left after a repair, are the cheapest appointments you can book.

    Which garage door leads book best?

    • Replacement quotes after a repair: the door is old and they know it.
    • Opener upgrades: smart openers, battery backup, quieter drives.
    • LSA and search leads that didn't book: a quick, friendly follow-up.
    • Past service customers: a seasonal tune-up is a simple reason to get in touch.

    How does Setterly work for garage door companies?

    The AI texts each lead about what they asked for, answers simple questions (styles, insulation, timing) with your approved answers and books a visit. Bookings arrive in your calendar with notes. Messages respect quiet hours and state rules (compliance).

    How does Setterly book service appointments for garage doors companies?

    1. You send your old leads. A CSV or CRM export of replacement quotes, opener upgrade inquiries and past repair customers, with what each homeowner asked about. We check source and consent with you first.
    2. The AI texts each homeowner. The first message mentions their original request. When they reply, it answers questions, handles "not right now" and offers times.
    3. Service appointments land in your calendar. With notes from the conversation, so your team knows what was said.

    Messages come from a registered number in your business name, respect TCPA quiet hours and state rules, and every conversation is visible to you. See texting compliance.

    Real conversations from UK campaigns

    Anonymized text threads from live Setterly campaigns, from the first message to a booked appointment or callback.

    Hi it’s Alex. Is this the same Mark who was interested in double glazing repair earlier this month?
    2 days later
    Hey Mark, just checking my last message got through, are you still looking to get your repair sorted?
    Hi Alex, still looking. It’s for one window unit in a multi-panel wooden frame conservatory. It’s misting and would need either a reseal of the existing unit or a new one to the same dimensions, especially the thickness. If someone could give me a call re a quote. Thanks, Mark.
    Thanks for all the detail, Mark. Quick one before I get the call sorted, are you hoping to have the work carried out within the next 6 weeks?
    If possible but no great urgency and depends on cost.
    That’s completely fine, no rush. Roughly when would you like to get started, this month or later in the year?
    This or next month while the weather is ok.
    Let’s get you booked in for a call with our team. I’ve got tomorrow at 10:30am or 2:00pm, would either suit? The call’s just to go over your enquiry and next steps.
    10:30 will be fine.
    Great, you’re booked in. The team will call to go over everything and get things moving.
