Cost per booked appointment

Direct Answer

How do roofers calculate cost per booked appointment?

Cost per booked appointment is total marketing and lead spend divided by the number of held appointments it produced. It is more meaningful than cost per lead because it accounts for booking rate — the step where most roofing budgets leak. You lower it by responding faster, recovering missed calls, and following up persistently, which books more of the leads you already pay for. RooferFuel.ai is built to improve exactly these booking rates.
