Solo agents, ISAs, and teams who need a predictable listing pipeline without spammy tactics.

How fast should I reply to new seller leads?

Within five minutes. Use SMS + a quick call and route to the on‑call agent.

What offer books the most listing consults?

A 30‑minute Value & Strategy Session with a pricing path, prep checklist, and timeline.

Should I use SMS, email, or phone?

Use all three. Start with SMS + call, then email the pre‑listing package and a calendar link.

How often should I follow up?

Use a 0‑1‑2‑3 day burst, then 2× weekly for four weeks, then weekly until they list.

What goes in a pre‑listing package?

Process overview, marketing plan, sample CMA highlights, net sheet, prep checklist, recent case studies, and testimonials.

How do I keep it fair housing compliant?

Market properties and processes, avoid discriminatory language, and follow your state and brokerage rules.

Best subject lines for sellers?

"Your 7‑day pricing path", "What top buyers in {City} hunt for now", and "Photos + plan before you list".

What if they say they’re just browsing?

Offer a light CMA snapshot and timeline guide; keep them on a monthly market update and proof stories.

How do I handle "we’re talking to other agents"?

Acknowledge, differentiate with process and prep, and offer a no‑pressure walk‑through to show your plan.

Do I need ads to fuel this?

No, but they help. You can also use GBP Posts, Zillow/Flex style leads, and referral partners.

What’s a healthy booked‑to‑kept rate?

70%+ with reminders at booking, 24h, and 2h.

How do I reduce no‑shows?

Send directions/parking, include Zoom or office address, and let them reschedule in one tap.

Which KPIs matter most?

Speed‑to‑lead, booked rate, kept rate, signed listing rate, days to contract, and cost per listing signed (if using ads).

What should my CRM stages be?

New → Contacted → Booked → Kept → Signed → Active → Under Contract → Closed.

Can I automate first replies?

Yes, as long as you hand off to a human quickly and honor opt‑outs and privacy.

How do I follow up after the appointment?

Send a recap, next steps, and a draft timeline. Share a prep checklist and photographer booking link.

What if they ghost after a strong meeting?

Send a short check‑in, share a recent comp shift, and offer two time options for a quick decision call.

Do testimonials still move sellers?

Yes—pair them with before/after staging photos and a simple map of recent solds.

How long to see results?

2–4 weeks for appointment lift if you keep the five‑minute SLA and consistent cadence.

Is this only for homeowners?

Works for investors and landlords too—adjust the offer to NOI, vacancy, and tenant‑friendly prep.

What about expireds or FSBOs?

Use a respect‑first script with proof of process and a short, specific next step.

Publish your 0‑1‑2‑3 cadence, record a 30‑second seller script video, and add a calendar link to your first replies.

Solo agents, ISAs, small teams, and brokerages that want reliable appointment volume without spammy tactics.

Which offers book the most appointments?

Buyer: 20-minute Home Match Call. Seller: 30-minute Value & Strategy Session. Both framed with proof and clear outcomes.

Helpful but not required. A 5-minute speed-to-lead SLA with SMS + phone routing is the key.

Lead form or website?

Use both. Instant forms for speed, website for deeper proof and scheduling. Hybrid: instant form → calendar page.

What about fair housing compliance?

Avoid discriminatory language and targeting. Focus on property features and process—not people or protected classes.

How do I qualify without scaring prospects?

Ask 4 quick items: timeframe, financing status, area of interest, and must-haves. Keep it respectful and optional.

How fast should I reply?

Within 5 minutes. After-hours, send an autoresponder and book first thing in the morning.

How do I reduce no-shows?

Which KPIs matter most?

Speed-to-lead, qualified rate, booked-to-kept rate, contract rate, and cost per signed agreement.

Meta Pixel + Conversions API, Google Analytics with UTMs, and CRM stages mapped from lead → appointment → contract.

Do I need pre-approval before booking?

Not to book a consult. For tours, ask for pre-approval or proof of funds depending on property type.

Is this only for buyers?

Works for buyers and sellers. Tailor the offer, questions, and proof to each audience.

How do I handle renters?

Offer a 10-minute Path-to-Ownership call and collect timeline + credit range with consent.

Use consent-based forms, secure CRMs, and disclose how you use data. Honor opt-outs.

How many ads per ad set?

2–4 to start; rotate winners weekly and cap frequency to avoid fatigue.

Can I automate scheduling?

Yes—send calendar links immediately after form submit and include SMS reminders.

Do scripts really matter?

Yes. A clear 60-second discovery + two time options increases booked rates and reduces ghosting.

How long to see results?

Most teams see appointment lift within 2–4 weeks if they maintain the 5-minute SLA and consistent creative.

Lean into seller education, price-change alerts, and financing options for buyers. Keep the follow-up steady.

1) Why “GBP Services & Products Setup for General Contractors” Works

Relevance: Clear services and products match searcher intent (“kitchen remodel,” “tenant improvement,” “deck builder”).
Proof: Photo sets and Posts replace guesswork with unmistakable craftsmanship.
Momentum: Services → Products → Post → Message → Estimate is a frictionless path.

2) Categories: Primary & Secondary (What to Pick)

Choose one accurate primary category, then add only relevant secondary categories tied to real scopes.

Focus	Primary Category (example)	Possible Secondary
Residential remodeler	General contractor	Kitchen remodeler; Bathroom remodeler; Deck builder; Basement remodeler
ADU/additions	General contractor	Home builder; Construction company
Commercial TI	General contractor	Construction company; Office fit‑out (use an accurate available category)

3) Services: Naming, Grouping, and Order

List what you actually do. Keep names plain, capitalized, and scope‑true. Group by Residential/Commercial if both apply.

Group	Core Services (examples)	Landing Page/CTA
Residential	Kitchen remodeling; Bathroom remodeling; Home additions; ADU/garage conversion; Basement finishing; Deck & porch construction; Window & siding replacement	Estimate call • On‑site walkthrough
Commercial	Tenant improvement (TI); Office build‑out; Light industrial fit‑out; Retail remodel; Restaurant build‑out	Project discovery call • RFP upload
Structural/Exterior	Framing; Roofing coordination; Concrete/flatwork; Foundation repairs	Site assessment request

Order services by demand. Top four should match your most profitable scopes.

Bathroom Refresh Package	Before/after vanity & tile	See scope & timeline
ADU Feasibility Study	Exterior ADU + plan snippet (cropped)	Check zoning & budget fit
Commercial TI Walkthrough	Neutral office interior	Schedule site visit

UTM example: ?utm_source=gbp&utm_medium=product&utm_campaign=gc_{city}_kitchen_discovery

No emojis or ALL CAPS.
Avoid superlatives (“best,” “#1”).
Describe the scope, not just features: “Home addition design‑build”.
Optional: add city in caption or landing page, not in the business name.

6) Photos: Proof Sets for Each Service

Angle	Tip	Why it Converts
Wide finished room/facade	Level horizon; declutter	Shows outcome at a glance
Detail close‑up	Joinery, tile lines, fixtures	Signals craftsmanship
Before/after pair	Same vantage point	Tells transformation story
Clean jobsite wrap	No faces/addresses	Professionalism & safety
