If you are a removals operator buying leads from Getamover, you already know the routine: pay the fee, get the enquiry, and then somehow turn a phone number into a booked job. The leads are genuine. The challenge is everything that happens after they land.
This is not really a head-to-head comparison. Getamover and Move and Store solve entirely different problems. Getamover is a lead marketplace – it puts your name in front of people who need a mover. Move and Store is operations software – it handles the quoting, the chasing, the deposits, and the job management that turn an enquiry into revenue. The question is not which one to pick; it is whether your workflow is good enough to make bought leads pay for themselves.
Getamover does one thing and does it well
Getamover connects homeowners with local removals companies. You set your service area, choose what kinds of jobs you want, and pay per lead. For operators who are just starting out or want to fill quiet weeks, it is one of the most accessible sources of real enquiries in the UK market.
Emerald Logistics in Swindon relied on Getamover when the business was building its name. The leads were genuine, the customers were actively moving, and the volume was consistent. The leads were not the issue.
The gap between an enquiry and a booking
Every removals operator who buys leads has felt this frustration: you are paying for enquiries, some of them convert, but you cannot quite pin down why some turn into jobs and others vanish. It is not because the leads are bad. It is because the space between receiving an enquiry and locking in a booking is full of small, fixable gaps:
- Speed: Getamover sends the same lead to multiple operators. The first person to respond with something professional-looking has a serious advantage. If your first contact is a phone call with a verbal price, you are already behind anyone who sends a branded quote link.
- Presentation: A text message quote tells the customer very little. A portal with an itemised breakdown, your branding, and an accept button tells them everything. The difference in trust is immediate.
- Follow-up: Most leads do not accept a quote on the first look. They compare, they get busy, they forget. Without an automated nudge, those leads drift away – not because they chose a competitor, but because nobody chased.
- Commitment: Even when a customer says yes, the booking is not secure until money changes hands. Without an easy deposit mechanism, cancellations and no-shows erode the return on every lead you paid for.
Emmanuel at Emerald Logistics described this pattern exactly. He was getting solid Getamover leads, quoting over the phone with handwritten notes, and then watching half of them go quiet. It was not a lead quality problem; it was a conversion infrastructure problem.
What the complete workflow looks like
When you pair Getamover's lead volume with Move and Store's conversion tools, the journey from enquiry to booked job tightens considerably:
- Lead arrives from Getamover – phone call, email, or app notification.
- You enter the details into Move and Store's quoting wizard: addresses, inventory, access notes, preferred date.
- The customer receives a branded quote portal link with a clear breakdown, your logo, and a one-click accept button.
- If they do not accept within your chosen window, automated reminders follow up on your behalf – no awkward chasing required.
- When they accept, they pay the deposit online. The booking is locked before a competitor can swoop in.
- The CRM records the lead source as Getamover, so you can measure the actual cost per booked job – not just cost per lead.
- After completion, an automated Google Review request goes out while the experience is fresh.
The difference is measurable: paying £15 for a lead that sits unanswered versus paying £15 for a lead that becomes a £400 confirmed booking with a five-star review attached.

Making Getamover profitable – not just busy
A lot of operators use Getamover and feel busy without feeling profitable. The leads roll in, some jobs happen, but the actual return on that spend is a guess. That is not a criticism of Getamover – it is a gap in visibility.
With Move and Store's CRM, every Getamover lead is tagged at source. You can see: how many Getamover leads came in this month, how many received a quote, how many converted, and what the revenue per booked job looks like against the lead cost. That clarity turns a "feeling" into a number you can act on.
The operators who get the best return from Getamover are the ones who:
- Respond within minutes with a professional quote link
- Have automated follow-ups chasing every unanswered quote
- Collect a deposit the moment the customer says yes
- Track cost per lead against cost per booked job – not just per enquiry
Move and Store gives you all four on the free plan (automated follow-ups require Pro at £29 per month).
When exclusive leads start to make more sense
Getamover leads are shared – the same enquiry goes to multiple operators. That is the model, and it works well for building volume. As your business grows, though, you may want exclusive enquiries that only come to you.
The Get the Phones Ringing service provides managed Google Ads from £50 per month. No percentage cuts, no shared leads. Many operators start with Getamover for volume, add Move and Store for conversion, and later layer in their own ads for exclusive, higher-intent enquiries.
