Why Fast Response Wins More Jobs on Yelp and Thumbtack
Speed is the single biggest factor in lead conversion for service businesses. Here’s what the research shows:
- Waiting from 5 to 30 minutes to respond makes you 21x less likely to qualify a lead (MIT, 2007)
- Yelp factors response time into your business ranking and visibility
- Thumbtack charges per lead. A slow reply means you paid for nothing
- Contacting a lead within an hour makes you about 7x more likely to qualify it (~60x vs waiting a day) (HBR, 2011)
Most of your competitors take hours. Responding in under 2 seconds puts you first in line for nearly every job.
