The $1 System That Turns Missed Messages into Bookings
Half of pet-parent inquiries go cold in the first hour—not because they’re not serious, but because no one replies fast enough.GBG’s Lead Conversion System replies to every DM, chat, or text in under five minutes.
If they don’t book right away, it keeps following up for 14 days, automatically. It also shows which channels bring in the most appointments, so you know where to focus. Most businesses see 30–40% more bookings in their first month.
Try it for $1. If you don’t get at least 10 extra bookings in 30 days, they’ll refund your dollar. No hassle.
