Where it can leak
A tint call can end with a price and nothing on the calendar.
These are the places we check in a tint shop that sells by phone. None of them is assumed about yours. Call tracking and your labels show which ones apply, and how often, before anyone decides what to fix.
-
Calls during an install
When your hands are in film, a call can go to voicemail. Without tracking, nobody sees how often that happens or at what hour.
What we do: Lead quality
-
Price calls with no label
A caller hears a price and hangs up. Without a label, nobody knows which searches send price-only calls.

How tint sells
When tint is priced on the phone, the booked install is the estimate.
Your price depends on the film line and the windows. How dark a car can go depends on your state. Your ad and your page should give the same answers your phone does.

What we measure
For a tint shop, measuring starts at the phone.
Which searches made the phone ring, which calls went unanswered, and which became booked installs or estimates.
-
Missed-call rate
Call tracking platform
Share of calls to tracking numbers that no person answered. Voicemail and abandoned calls count as missed. Shown for business hours and after hours.
Tracking numbers only. It does not show whether the caller was reached later.
-
Speed to lead
Call tracking, form, and CRM timestamps
Time from an inquiry to the first reply from a person: a connected call or a personal message. Shown for business hours and after hours.
Counts only replies the shop logs. Unlogged replies are missing.
-
Booked estimate
Shop calendar or CRM, matched to the inquiry
An in-area inquiry for a service you sell, booked with name, vehicle, and date. If you quote tint without an inspection, a booked install counts.
Counts depend on each booking being logged the same way in your calendar.
-
Cost per booked estimate
Ad platform spend and the shop's calendar
Cost divided by booked estimates that started from a channel we manage. Shown two ways: ad spend only, and ad spend plus fees and software.
Spend and bookings can land in different periods.
Every number names its period, source, and definition. If a record is missing, the report says not measured.
FAQ
Questions tint shops ask
Cost, Local Services Ads, tint laws, and price shoppers, answered plainly for tint shops.
Tint shop still deciding? Start with a Revenue Leak Audit.
No ad stops price calls. Campaigns go after ceramic film searches first, and each price shopper is labeled and counted.
Start with Search, where you pick the tint searches. Local Services Ads is an add-on, and Google decides if your shop gets in.

No. Tint limits are set by state law. Your page states the rule as your shop confirms it. We do not give legal advice.
No. We do not guarantee leads, booked estimates, rankings, revenue, or return on ad spend. Your report counts booked estimates.
Not always. Campaigns put your ceramic and premium tint first. If most of your installs are entry-level film, our fee plus ad spend may be more than that work can carry. Check that math with us before you sign.
We do not answer phones. We measure missed calls on tracked lines, in and after business hours, so you can see when callers wait. A missed-call text-back and quote follow-up are part of both plans.
