The estimate math most owners miss
If 100 people click your ad, roughly 8–15 will fill out a form or call. Of those, 40–60% will book an estimate — but only if you respond in under 5 minutes. Wait an hour and that number drops to 12%. Wait a day and it drops to under 3%. The estimate-generation problem is a speed problem, not a traffic problem.
