# Know which leads reach a close.

Which lead sources reach a close? Lead source tracking connects each inquiry to its outcome. A separate report by real estate agent shows who owns the next action.

[Scope your lead reporting](/work#send-your-brief)

## Follow the record from source to close.

A source label alone cannot explain an outcome. The report joins each inquiry to its CRM record. A separate match confirms the close.

Scale With Search scopes lead reporting around the records you can supply. The mapping covers all popular CRMs. The written scope confirms the available fields and access before a build starts.

Keep the original source when a lead changes hands. Define how duplicate inquiries count. Keep a missing source visible as an exception.

A close appears only when the agreed source record confirms it. A missing close remains unresolved. The report does not infer a sale from an appointment.

## Inspect a source to close report.

This sample layout uses invented inquiry IDs. It shows record matching, without claiming a measured result.

```
Source,Inquiry ID,Close record,Exception
Website form,DEMO-01,Not linked,Close not verified
Inbound call,DEMO-02,DEMO-CLOSE-02,None
```

The working report links each inquiry ID to its source record. Source totals use an agreed date range and one written rule for duplicate inquiries.

Real estate lead tracking separates an inquiry received this month from a transaction closed this month. Those are different views. Neither proves that a source caused the close.

## Make the next action visible.

Real estate agent accountability starts with a named owner and a due action. A reassignment must retain the prior owner so the history stays readable.

The sample below is invented. “Not recorded” means evidence is missing. It does not prove that nobody made contact.

```
Inquiry ID,Assigned owner,First touch,Next action
DEMO-01,Real estate agent A,Not recorded,Review missing contact record
DEMO-02,Real estate agent B,Recorded,Review linked close
```

Agree which activity counts as a first touch before comparing records. Keep an overdue action separate from a missing activity log.

## Own the report and its definitions.

You keep the field map and the report layout. The handoff also includes the matching rules and the instructions for correcting an exception.

The acceptance check follows an invented inquiry through the report. It tests a duplicate and a missing source separately. A person checks the result before the report is shared.

If ChatGPT drafts the report commentary, it reads the approved report. Counts come from the source records. An AI summary does not become the evidence.
