Yelp Auto Responder for Plumbers
A homeowner watching water drip through the ceiling sends one Request a Quote — and typically messages three or four plumbers in the same breath. LeadWinner answers your lead in about 10 seconds, asks what a plumber would ask, and rings your phone to connect you live.
Replies in ~10 seconds on Yelp · $2.99 per lead for the first 30 in a week, then $1.49 · $0 on zero-lead weeks
LeadWinner is an AI auto responder for plumbing business leads on Yelp: when a Yelp message lead arrives, it replies in about ~10 seconds with an answer built from the customer's actual request, asks qualifying questions like “Where is the water coming from — and is the shutoff valve closed?”, follows up until the customer responds, and can bridge a live phone call. Pricing is $2.99 per lead — $0 on weeks with no leads.

How Yelp plumbing leads actually work
Most Yelp plumbing leads arrive through Request a Quote. The customer describes the problem in a sentence or two, and before they even hit send, Yelp suggests similar plumbers nearby and makes it one tap to contact them all. A new lead is usually a four-way race from the first second — and the plumber whose reply lands first sets the tone for the whole conversation.
Yelp also shows your response time and response rate right on your public profile. A profile that says "Responds in about 10 minutes" collects more quote requests than one that says "Responds in about a day" — before anyone reads a single review. Answering every lead in seconds is not just how you win the lead in front of you; it compounds into more leads next month.
The problem is that plumbing work is the exact opposite of inbox work. The burst-pipe message arrives while your hands are inside someone else’s wall, and the after-dinner water-heater lead arrives when you’ve finally sat down. LeadWinner watches your Yelp inbox around the clock and answers every request in about 10 seconds — with a reply built from your services, your pricing, and your availability, not a generic "thanks, we’ll get back to you."
What the AI asks a Yelp plumbing lead
You write the playbook once; the AI runs it on every lead. For a plumbing business on Yelp, that first exchange usually needs four answers:
“Where is the water coming from — and is the shutoff valve closed?”
Separates a live emergency from a scheduled repair, and a calm "shut the valve under the sink first" reply reads like a pro who has seen it all.
“Is the water heater gas or electric, and roughly how old?”
The two most common heater questions decide parts, code requirements, and whether repair or replacement is even worth quoting.
“House, condo, or commercial space?”
Access, HOA rules, and shutoff locations change the job — and condo ceiling leaks often mean a neighbor upstairs, not your customer’s pipes.
“Can you share a photo of the leak or fixture?”
A single photo in the Yelp thread saves a diagnostic trip and lets you arrive with the right fittings on the truck.

A Yelp Lead, Answered in About 10 seconds
A fictional example of the first minutes of a Yelp plumbing lead — every real reply is generated fresh from the customer’s message and your instructions.

Fictional, illustrative conversation — names, numbers, and prices are examples. Every real reply is generated fresh from the customer’s message and your business profile.
After the first reply: follow-ups and a live call
When the customer engages, LeadWinner’s 2-way auto-call rings your phone — press 1 and you’re talking to a homeowner who messaged you two minutes ago, not two days ago. Take midnight emergency calls? Leave the call window open 24/7. Don’t? Set non-reply hours: the lead still gets an instant answer in the thread, and your phone rings at 7 a.m.
And because plenty of plumbing leads go quiet — the drip slows, the spouse says "let’s wait" — the AI sends up to 10 follow-ups, each written fresh from the conversation, spaced from minutes to days. A polite nudge the next morning revives a surprising share of "small leak" leads before they become someone else’s emergency call.

You only pay for leads you actually get, and in practice, businesses using LeadWinner close significantly more deals simply because they respond first, 24/7.
Plumbers on Yelp: FAQ
Does it answer Yelp Request a Quote and direct messages?
Both. Whether the lead comes in as a Request a Quote or a direct message to your business, the AI replies in about 10 seconds with an answer built from your plumbing services, prices, and hours.
Will it improve my Yelp response-time badge?
Yelp computes that badge from your typical reply speed over the last 30 days (a median, per Yelp's help docs), so consistent 10-second replies pull it toward "Responds in about 10 minutes." Yelp shows the badge to customers before they contact you, so a fast badge tends to bring more quote requests, not just better conversion on the ones you get.
Can it quote plumbing prices, like a drain cleaning or a water heater swap?
It quotes exactly what you tell it to. Put your ranges in the instructions — service call fee, drain cleaning range, 40-gallon heater replacement ballpark — and it answers price questions the way you would, or declines to quote sight-unseen if that’s your policy.
What does this cost a plumbing company?
$2.99 per lead for your first 30 leads in a week and $1.49 per lead after that — and a week with zero Yelp leads costs $0. There’s a 7-day free trial, so you can watch it answer your real leads before you pay anything.
