Conversion tracking for garage doors, measured in completed jobs
Garage doors is two demand types sharing one account. Emergency repair is a broken spring at seven in the morning — urgent, low value, converts within the hour. Planned installation is a considered purchase worth ten times as much over a week or more. They need different bidding, different hours and different conversion actions, and almost nobody separates them, so the frequent cheap emergency conversion dominates and the installation budget quietly disappears into it.

Getting and tracking leads for garage door companies
Where a garage door company's calls come from, and which are spring repairs versus new doors
A garage door company's paid calls come from Local Services Ads, Search ads, the Business Profile and marketplaces, in a category where Google requires advanced verification and lead networks crowd the map. Count a call when the homeowner describes a spring, cable, opener or new door at an address you serve and a visit or estimate is booked, and record the source on the job so the install traces back.
'The map used to ring all day. Now a row of garage door companies with no real address sits above us, and the calls that do come in want a price for a spring over the phone.' Google requires advanced verification before garage door ads run and offers no pre-badge Local Services Ads for the category, yet lead networks still plant listings in Maps and forward the calls. A real company ends up with two kinds of caller: a homeowner whose car is stuck behind a door with a snapped spring, who calls whoever answers first, and a homeowner pricing a new insulated door, who reads reviews and fills in a form.
When both callers share a campaign and a conversion, the frequent spring calls set the bids and the door installs, the larger tickets, get whatever budget is left. And when profile calls share your main number with the ads, you cannot tell whether a drop came from the map or from the ads, so the wrong budget gets raised. Check it: in ServiceTitan, Workiz or Housecall Pro, split last month's Google jobs into repairs and installs and see which source produced each. Then search your top services on Maps, open the listings above you, and check their addresses on Street View.
Fixed means repairs and installs are separate conversions with separate values, the Business Profile has its own tracking number so map calls are counted on their own, price-only calls are tagged rather than counted, and your verification details are documented so nobody edits the profile in a way that triggers review. The free audit shows where last month's spring calls and door sales actually came from.
Where the leads come from
| Channel | Role | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Local Services Ads | Broken spring and off-track door calls, paid per lead once advanced verification clears | No pre-badge ads for garage door services, so plan for verification time; match leads to jobs by phone and time. |
| Google Search ads | New door, opener and installation searches where the ticket is larger | Click ID on the estimate request, so the signed door order can be imported with its value. |
| Business Profile | Map-pack calls in a category full of lead-network listings | Tracking number as primary with the main line as additional; avoid name and address edits that send you back into review. |
| Meta | Door replacement offers with photos of finished installs | Judge on door orders in the job system, not on lead form volume. |
| Nextdoor | Neighbors recommending whoever fixed their spring | Track as its own source; it rarely brings installs on its own but often brings repeat streets. |
| Angi, Thumbtack, Yelp | Shared spring repair and install requests | Compare booked jobs per request from your job system with Search and LSA. |
Which calls count
- Count it when
- Count the call when the homeowner describes a door problem or a new door at an address inside your area, and a technician visit or estimate is booked.
- Minimum duration
- Spring calls are short when the caller only wants a price, and booking calls include the address and the door; start around a minute and check recordings, with the booked visit as the real test.
- After hours
- A car trapped behind a broken door at dawn is a real emergency. Run ads early in the morning if a technician is on call, and stop them whenever calls go to voicemail, because that caller dials the next listing.
Where each lead should land
- Search ad call or estimate form
- Job or estimate in ServiceTitan, Workiz or Housecall Pro with the click ID and the job type, repair or install.
- Local Services Ads call or message
- Job with lead source Google LSA and the caller's number, matched monthly to the LSA lead list.
- Business Profile call
- Job with lead source Google Business Profile, from the profile's own tracking number.
- Marketplace request
- Job with the marketplace as source, compared on cost per booked job and never uploaded to ad platforms.

A spring replacement and a double-door installation are not the same conversion.

Garage doors · diagnose
Where garage door companies tracking usually breaks
- 01
Number swap running too late
Emergency callers dial within seconds of landing. A deferred script loses exactly the traffic that converts best.
- 02
Emergency dominating a shared conversion action
It converts fast and often, so it wins every budget allocation by default.
- 03
Service area boundaries
Emergency searches are hyper-local and out-of-area calls are pure cost.
- 04
No-charge service calls counted
A truck rolled and nothing billed is not a conversion.

FAQ
Garage doors questions, answered
Because they convert on completely different timescales at completely different values. Emergency converts within the hour at a low ticket; installation takes a week at ten times the value. In one conversion action the emergency work wins every time, and your installation campaigns are effectively unfunded.
Before the visitor can dial, which on emergency traffic means within a second or two of the page appearing. Deferring it for page-speed reasons removes attribution from the highest-intent traffic you have — verify the timing on a real load rather than trusting the tag's configuration.
Completed and billed. Booked jobs cancel, and no-charge service calls are a cost rather than a conversion. The field service system already knows which is which.
Usually yes, with a daily export of completed jobs. It is less elegant than a live integration and works exactly as well for uploading conversions.
