Pay Per Call Marketing in Queens County, NY for Mobile Mechanics

A call from Queens arrives with less than you would like. The phone shows a number and a time, and the caller has a car that will not start somewhere in a borough of 2,316,841 people (Source: census.gov). Everything else, including which neighbourhood the car is in, has to come out of the conversation. Knowing what the call gives you and what you have to ask for is most of handling one well.

What the call brings with it

• A record. We log the time of arrival, the length, the caller's number and the line it reached under the tracking number for your Queens campaign alone. That record tells a new caller from a regular, and any billing question is checked against it.
• Exclusive routing. The call rings your line and only yours. Nobody sells it to a list of Queens mechanics, offers it to bidders while it rings or passes it to a rival if you miss it.
• An area you chose. The campaign is pointed at the neighbourhoods you named, from Flushing, Jamaica, Astoria and Long Island City to Forest Hills, Jackson Heights, Kew Gardens, Howard Beach or Rockaway Beach (Source: en.wikipedia.org). A caller from outside them, including one who has wandered over from Brooklyn, is grounds for a dispute.

What you have to ask for

• The exact spot: street and cross street, a lot, or a garage and its level. Jamaica, the county seat, is a different drive from Rockaway Beach, and where the car sits decides whether the job is yours, wherever the caller lives.
• Room to work. The housing is old, with 272,637 of the borough's 910,206 housing units built in 1939 or earlier (Source: data.census.gov), and older blocks rarely come with off-street parking. Ask whether you can open the hood and get a jack in.
• What they want. Some callers want only a name for a noise. Answer briefly and offer to come and look. Callers with no intention of booking rarely stay on long, and a call under the agreed minimum is never charged.
• When they will be there. A car in a commercial lot may have to be moved by a set time, and the owner needs to be beside it with the keys.

What never reaches the invoice

A call that rang out and never connected is not billed, though a Flushing or Astoria driver has just found another mechanic, so tell us your hours and an overflow number. Wrong numbers, robocalls and sales calls do not count as customers, and an owner calling back about the same breakdown counts once. A call asking only for a service you excluded can be disputed.
