How Much Do Garage Door Leads Cost? About $10 to $220 Per Lead

By Sharrk Team · October 19, 2026

Garage door leads cost about $10 to $220 each in 2026, depending on the source: roughly $18 to $81 on Google Local Services Ads, $21 to $44 on Networx, $15 to $85 on Angi, $10 to $100+ on Thumbtack, and $40 to $220 on Google search ads. Whatever you pay, Sharrk answers every call and replies to every new lead in under 30 seconds, so more of those dollars turn into booked jobs.

Repair leads (broken springs, off-track doors, openers) sit at the low end. New door installs and commercial overhead doors cost more per lead because the tickets are bigger and fewer people search for them. If you are pricing phone coverage rather than leads, see what a garage door answering service costs.

How much do garage door leads cost by source?

Commercial overhead door work is the outlier: Elevarus estimates $300 to $600 per lead on Google search. Treat every third-party figure here as an estimate. Your market, season and job mix will move it.

Why do Google Local Services Ads look cheapest?

Local Services Ads charge per lead, not per click, and garage door repair is a short, urgent search. SearchLight's data put the account-level median at $42, with most accounts between $26 and $53. Google credits leads it finds invalid, and you can flag poor leads in the feedback survey for each one.

One rule now raises the stakes on answering the phone. Google's help page says you are charged when you miss a call during business hours and the caller stays on the line for more than 20 seconds. PPC Land reports this started October 1, 2026. A missed call on LSA is now a paid lead you never talked to. For a deeper look at LSA billing, read how much Google Local Services Ads cost.

Are Angi, Thumbtack and Networx worth it for garage door companies?

They can be, if you respond fast. Shared marketplace leads go to more than one company (LeadGen Economy estimates Angi leads are shared among about three or four contractors), so the first company to call back has the best shot. Networx lists a garage door price on its own site ($21 to $44). Angi and Thumbtack prices depend on your category, market and settings, which is why the ranges above come from contractor reports. If you are choosing between the two big marketplaces, see Thumbtack vs Angi.

Why do Google search ads cost more per lead?

Search ads charge per click, and you pay for every click whether the person calls or not. Install and commercial keywords are competitive, which pushes the cost per lead up. Search ads still make sense for installs because a new door is a much larger ticket than a spring repair, so a higher lead cost can pay off.

How do you lower your cost per booked job?

Cost per lead only matters next to how many leads you book. The simple math:

Cost per booked job = cost per lead ÷ booking rate

1. Find your real booking rate. Count last month's leads and booked jobs by source. If you paid $45 per lead and booked 1 in 3, each job cost $135 in leads.
2. Answer every call. On LSA, a missed business-hours call can still be charged. Booking 1 in 2 instead of 1 in 3 brings that same $45 lead down to $90 per booked job.
3. Reply to marketplace leads first. Shared leads go to the fastest responder. A reply in seconds beats a callback after the current job.
4. Follow up more than once. If a lead doesn't pick up the first time, a short sequence of calls, texts and emails over a few days recovers jobs you already paid for.
5. Ask safety questions on emergency calls. A broken spring or a door stuck open is urgent. Our garage door emergency call script covers what to ask and how to book the visit.
6. Split repair and install budgets. Repair leads are cheap and fast to book. Install leads cost more and take longer to close, so track them separately.

How does Sharrk handle garage door leads?

Sharrk turns paid leads into booked jobs without adding staff:

• Every call answered, 24/7. AI voice agents pick up, ask about the door, qualify the job, book it, and live-transfer urgent calls to your tech (cold or warm transfer). Each call is logged with a transcript, recording, the job details captured, and an email or text alert.
• New leads get a reply in under 30 seconds. Leads flow in from Angi, Thumbtack, Networx, web forms and webhooks (for example Meta lead ads through Zapier or Make).
• Booking on your calendar. Sharrk's calendar, Calendly, Cal.com or ServiceTitan, with real arrival windows by business unit and job type.
• Strikes follow up automatically. AI calls, texts, the AI text agent, email, voicemail drops and video texts, branching on call results and replies, and stopping when the lead replies or asks to stop.
• Hunts reactivate old lists. Reach past quotes and customers with texts, AI calls, voicemail drops or the Power Dialer, with opt-out handling, quiet hours and DNC checks (you need consent to contact your list).

Mako, Sharrk's AI assistant, builds all of this from plain English. Tell it "answer garage door calls, book spring repairs into tomorrow's openings and send urgent calls to my on-call tech," and it sets up the agent, the booking and the follow-up. Each change appears on an Apply card you approve, and Undo is there if you change your mind.

Sharrk Free is $0 with 2,500 one-time credits to build and test everything with Mako, no card needed; going live takes a paid plan. Sharrk Core is $99 a month or $990 a year with 47,500 credits a month, one number and every feature. There are no contracts or setup fees. Start free or book a demo.
