How fast should I respond to pressure washing leads?
Respond to a new pressure washing lead in under 5 minutes, ideally within seconds. Contact rates drop sharply after 5–10 minutes because the homeowner has already moved on, started comparing, or messaged a competitor.
What to look for
- First text in under 5 minutes (automated is fine, and usually better)
- Call within 15–30 minutes if they have not replied
- Continue a 7-day sequence for non-responders
- Use missed-call text-back so every phone lead gets a response too
Where LeadCatch fits
The LeadCatch app, included with every LeadCatch plan, can fire the first text in seconds and queue the follow-up sequence, so speed to lead does not depend on you being off the ladder.

Is an automated text okay as the first response?
Yes. A short, human-sounding automated text in seconds beats a personal response in 30 minutes. Then take over the conversation manually.
