What Google Local Services costs junk removal companies
The price question comes with the first message
Most junk messages ask how much right away. The AI names a price only from your own price list or Google Sheet; otherwise it says you will confirm and asks what is going and whether it is curbside or upstairs, which is what the price actually depends on.
Fast replies help the next lead too
Google says responsiveness to customer inquiries is part of how Local Services ads rank. Answering in about a minute while your crew is loading a truck keeps that signal good between stops, not only on days someone is at a desk.
A real request, and the reply that goes out
New leadreplied in 60s
Cleaning out my dad's garage this weekend. Old furniture, boxes, a fridge and some paint cans. Ground floor, driveway access. How much and can you come Saturday?
That sounds like half to three-quarters of a truckload. Two things move the price: the fridge carries a recycling fee because of the compressor, and paint can only go if it is fully dried out — cat litter in the cans sorts that before pickup. Roughly how many boxes are we talking, twenty or closer to fifty? Then I will confirm the price and whether Saturday works.

Questions about Google Local Services from junk removal companies
Can it ask for a photo of the pile?
Yes, it can ask for one in the chat. A photo and a phone number are usually enough for you to call back with a real price.
What about items we do not take, like paint or tires?
List them in settings and the AI declines those politely. If the whole lead was a job you do not offer, you can dispute it in your Google Ads account.
Can it book the pickup?
No, it never books anything. If your calendar is connected it can suggest open times and says you will confirm one.
