They call, it rings out, and they book with the next groomer on the list. LeadTap texts every missed caller back in under a minute, in your name, while you're still at the tub.

At just 3 missed calls a week, a grooming business is leaving an estimated $3,500+ a year on the table. LeadTap Starter is $97 a month. 2 recovered appointments a month cover it.
Estimate: 3 missed calls a week × 52 weeks × $50 (national average dog grooming visit, HomeGuide, 2023) × a 45% assumed book rate (a LeadTap assumption, not a published figure), rounded down. Excludes repeat visits, so one captured client is worth far more than one groom. 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.
