They call, it rings out, and they dial the next cleaner on the list. LeadTap texts every missed caller back in under a minute, in your name, while you're still mid-clean.
A new client calls about biweekly service.
You're mid-house. Phone goes to voicemail. They book with the next cleaner instead.
That single missed call wasn't a $150 job — it was $3,000–$4,000 of recurring revenue over two years.
Every missed inquiry is a potential two-year customer. Cleaning clients who find someone reliable tend to stay, which makes the first call the one that matters.
Two findings that decide whether the client is yours.
Lower odds of reaching a lead at 30 minutes than at 5.
Waiting until you're done with a house to call back isn't a delay. It's a different outcome.

Leave for a competitor after more than one bad experience.
It isn't only new callers. Your repeat customers asking about their next clean are judging you by how fast you answer, too.

At just 3 missed calls a week, a cleaning service is leaving an estimated $10,000+ a year on the table. LeadTap Starter is $97 a month. One recovered client a month covers it.
Estimate: 3 missed calls a week × 52 weeks × $176 (national average house cleaning visit, HomeAdvisor, 2026) × a 40% assumed book rate (a LeadTap assumption, not a published figure), rounded down. Excludes recurring visits, so one captured client is worth far more than one clean. Your actual numbers depend on your call volume, close rate and ticket mix, and we're happy to run this with your real figures instead of ours.
In your business name, apologizing for the miss and asking what they need. They're still holding the phone.
Recurring service versus a one-time move-out clean, captured with the details so you can quote and book from your phone.
