If you’re getting loads of “How much?” messages, vague enquiries, or people who disappear after you reply… it’s usually not a traffic problem.
It’s a clarity problem.
Most time-wasters aren’t rude - they’re just browsing. And if your next step feels unclear (or like a big commitment), they’ll drift off.
Here are 3 simple tweaks that help filter out the tyre-kickers and bring in better enquiries - without sounding pushy:
1) Add a price range sentence (even if it’s broad) 💷
You don’t need a full price list. Just give a ballpark so the wrong people self-select out.
Copy/paste this:
“Most jobs like this tend to fall between £X–£Y, depending on what you need - I’ll confirm properly after a quick look.”
It’s not pushy. It’s helpful. And it saves loads of back-and-forth.
2) Give them two clear next steps ✅
Instead of “Let me know if you want to go ahead” (which invites silence), make it easy to choose.
Copy/paste this:
“Two options - do you want me to (A) ask a couple of quick questions here, or (B) book a 10-min call and sort it properly?”
Calm, clear, and it stops the ghosting.
3) Ask one simple qualifying question 🧠
Time-wasters avoid effort. Serious buyers don’t mind a quick question.
Try this:
“What’s the main thing you want to improve - more calls, better quality leads, or higher conversion from your website?”
Friendly, not interrogating - and it tells you instantly if they’re a good fit.
That’s it. Small tweaks… big difference in the quality of enquiries you get.
If you want, comment your industry (plumber, roofer, clinic, etc.) and we’ll tweak the scripts to fit what you sell.
