RouteReply

A limited Local Services Ads lead-response and notification tool — so a home-services business never misses another Google lead.

What RouteReply does

Answer every Local Services Ads lead in seconds

When a new lead comes in through Google Local Services Ads (LSA), speed wins the job. RouteReply reads new LSA leads for a connected business and helps them respond instantly — by sending an automatic first reply and notifying the business owner.

Instant auto-reply

Sends an immediate, customizable first response to a new LSA lead so the customer isn't left waiting.

Lead notifications

Alerts the business owner by SMS the moment a new lead or message arrives, so they can follow up fast.

Simple connection

The business owner securely connects their own Google account; they can disconnect and revoke access at any time.

Scope & Google Ads API usage

A focused tool — not a campaign manager

RouteReply is intentionally narrow. It uses the Google Ads API only to read and respond to Local Services Ads leads on behalf of a business that has explicitly connected its account:

  • Reading leads & conversations — via GoogleAdsService.Search, RouteReply queries the connected account's recent local_services_lead and local_services_lead_conversation records.
  • Replying to leads — via LocalServicesLeadService.AppendLeadConversation, RouteReply sends the business's reply back to the lead.

RouteReply is not a full-service campaign, ad, bidding, budget, or keyword management platform. It does not create, edit, or optimize campaigns or ad spend. Its only purpose is fast, reliable lead response for Local Services Ads.

Reads Local Services Ads leads and conversations.
Sends approved replies on behalf of the connected business.
Leaves campaign, bid, keyword, and budget management untouched.

Each business connects its own Google account through Google's standard OAuth consent and can revoke that access at any time from within the app or from their Google account settings.

Your data, handled responsibly

RouteReply only accesses the lead and conversation data needed to provide its lead-response features, uses it solely to deliver those features to you, and never sells it. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail, including our compliance with the Google API Services User Data Policy and its Limited Use requirements.

Built by an agency that uses it

RouteReply came out of running real Local Services Ads for real home-services clients at Howling Media. It is part of our broader Google lead-generation system, not a standalone replacement for Google Ads or your CRM.
