Why your form fills with junk
Every public form is found by people selling SEO, contact lists and marketing, by job seekers, and by scammers. They use your form because it lands straight in your email.
Don’t make the form harder for customers
Captchas and long forms stop some bots, but they also stop real customers on a phone. Keep the form short: name, email or phone, and what they need.
Sort, don’t delete
The risk with any filter is the one real customer it gets wrong. Move junk somewhere you can check, never straight to the bin.
- Keep a separate place for anything filtered out.
- Check it once a week.
- Let anything real back in with one action.
Put real customers first
Once the junk is out of the way, sort what’s left. Urgent jobs, like a leak or no heat, should be at the top, not behind last week’s quote requests.
