Fencing lead generation that measures the right yards
For fence companies, the expensive part is the measure. We build lead sources around the materials and jobs you want, collect length, material and photos up front, and follow up every quote so buyers comparing prices come back to you.

Home builders

Pool and landscape companies

Property managers and commercial
Security, boundary and repair work across multiple sites.
Neighbours and past customers
New fences are visible, and neighbours often share boundaries.
Qualifying fence leads
The questions that matter are the material and style they want, the purpose, approximate length or a rough sketch, number and type of gates, height, whether an old fence needs removing, slope or obstacles, and location. Photos of the yard answer much of this quickly.
Ask whether they know where the property line is, whether an HOA approval is needed and their timing. Buyers who have already thought about those steps are usually closer to deciding.
With that information you can give a range for straightforward jobs, decide which require a visit and plan measures efficiently by area.
Where fence leads go cold
Most losses come from wasted measures and missing follow-up.
The common leaks
How we close them
Buyers usually request several quotes, so the first useful reply matters — see speed to lead. The AI Appointment Engine can collect material, length and photos and schedule measures automatically.
Shared boundaries create referrals
Many fences sit on a shared boundary, and neighbours often split the cost or decide to fence their own yards after seeing the result. Asking customers whether their neighbour is interested, and making it easy to quote both sides, can turn one job into two.
How we measure fencing lead generation
Measured against installed jobs.
Requests by material and source
Where enquiries come from.
Qualification rate
How many arrive ready to quote.
Quote-to-won rate
How many quotes become installs.
Cost per installed job
Spend divided by jobs completed.
Qualification, scheduling and quote follow-up — reviewed in writing, yours to keep either way.
Remote quotes from sketches and maps
Many homeowners can sketch their yard or mark the fence line on an aerial map. Inviting them to do so, along with a few photos, lets you give a confident range for straightforward jobs without a visit, and reserve measures for complex sites, slopes and long runs. Buyers appreciate a quick answer, and your estimators spend their time where it counts.
