How fast does your business answer a new lead?
For $10, our bots fill out your website contact form like a real customer and time the first human email reply. You get a graded scorecard PDF with your grade, first reply time, top fix, a timestamped test log, and screenshots of every email, in 2 to 3 business days. Delivery is 2 to 3 business days after the 24-hour test ends.
$10 one time. Email only. No phone calls.
One grade, set by the first real person who emails back.
Auto-replies never set the grade. Only a human reply counts.
Most companies do not reply within an hour. 23% never reply at all.
Someone fills out your form. They want a quote, a demo, or an answer. If you cannot say what happens next and how fast, you have a speed to lead problem. This test measures it.

HBR also found that firms that tried to reach a lead within an hour were nearly 7 times as likely to have a real conversation with a decision maker as firms that waited one more hour. Full sources are in our speed to lead guide.

Before you order.
Is this email only?
Yes. We test email replies only. We do not call you and we do not leave voicemails or texts.
Will this look like spam to my team?
No. It is one realistic form inquiry, sent once, that reads like a normal prospect asking about your services and pricing. We send no follow-ups and do not add you to any list.
Whose email do you use to submit the form?
A BizHacker test email address. Replies go there and we measure them.
What if nobody replies?
That is a result too. No reply from a person in 24 hours is an F, and the scorecard shows exactly what we saw so you can fix it.
What forms can you test?
Standard website contact and quote request forms. If your form requires a phone number, needs a verification step or payment, or blocks automated submissions, we may not be able to run it. We will tell you.
Do I need to be there while the test runs?
No. Please do not tell your team to watch for it, or the result will not show how you really respond.
Can I test more than one form?
Each $10 order covers one form. Order again for another.
