THE SHORT ANSWER
An exclusive, qualified windows and doors lead in Germany costs roughly EUR 72 to EUR 114 in 2026, with EUR 93 as the working average. At a close rate of one in 5 that is about EUR 465 per acquired customer, or 5.5 percent of a typical EUR 5,000 to EUR 12,000 project. Germany sits at a multiplier of 1.20 against a Benelux baseline of 1.0, because installer competition is the deepest in Europe, and that competition is what pushes cost per lead 10 to 30 percent above the Benelux baseline.
Windows and doors lead prices in Germany: the 2026 band
These are prices for an exclusive lead: a homeowner who asked for a quote, matched your service area and job type, and whose details go to you and nobody else. Shared leads, sold to four window and door companies at once, cost less per unit and more per customer.
Price per exclusive lead: EUR 72 to EUR 114, average EUR 93
Typical project value: EUR 5,000 to EUR 12,000
Exclusive leads needed per customer: 4 to 6
Cost per acquired customer: around EUR 465
Acquisition cost as a share of the job: about 5.5 percent
A word on where these numbers come from. They are a benchmark model rather than a survey: an industry base range observed across Western European home-improvement campaigns, multiplied by a country factor for local auction pressure. Use them as a band to negotiate against, not as a quote.
Regional markets that behave differently
North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, Baden-Wurttemberg and Berlin differ enough in price and competitive density that a national average conceals most of what matters. Southern markets carry higher job values and higher click prices; eastern markets are cheaper on both counts. Buying nationally in Germany means paying a blended price for a very unblended market.
Why window demand builds through late winter
Homeowners decide to fix draughts while they can still feel them, then want the work done before summer. That produces a decision peak in late winter and spring and a near-dead August. Buying leads into the trough at lower prices and holding surveys for the spring window is standard practice among installers with full order books, and it is unavailable to anyone buying month to month at peak.
Seasonality: the discount nobody books
Windows and doors demand peaks in late winter and spring and bottoms out around August, driven mostly by draughts, noise and energy bills.
Off-peak leads typically run 20 to 40 percent below the figures above, but they take longer to convert and more of them go cold. Buying volume in the trough and nurturing into the peak is the cheapest growth available in this trade, and almost nobody does it because it requires spending money in the month the phone is quiet.
The mistake that wastes the most window and door budget
Quoting a price per frame in the first conversation. It invites a like-for-like comparison against a cheaper specification and removes every advantage you have. The stronger move is to quote a survey, use the survey to establish specification, and let the comparison happen on a document you control rather than in a phone call you do not.
The deepest installer base in Europe
Germany produces the highest absolute search volume in Europe and the most competitors bidding for it. That combination, and not any difference in homeowner behaviour, is what puts cost per lead above the Benelux baseline. It also means the marginal lead is expensive while the total available volume is very large, so scale is achievable here in a way it is not in smaller markets.
Why the same windows and doors lead costs less across the border
Advertising auctions are local, so the same windows and doors lead is not worth the same everywhere. Against a Benelux baseline of 1.0, Germany runs at 1.20. For the same industry:
Germany (multiplier 1.20) - EUR 72 to EUR 114 per exclusive lead
Spain (multiplier 0.90) - EUR 54 to EUR 86 per exclusive lead
Poland (multiplier 0.60) - EUR 36 to EUR 57 per exclusive lead
France (multiplier 1.02) - EUR 61 to EUR 97 per exclusive lead
The gap is not about lead quality. It is about how many window and door companies are bidding for the attention of the same homeowner in that auction.
Why two window and door companies in Germany report different figures for the same ads
At a 6 percent conversion rate, a windows and doors lead at EUR 93 implies a click price of roughly EUR 6. Lift that page to 12 percent and identical traffic delivers leads at about EUR 46 instead: no extra budget, half the cost per lead. This is the single biggest controllable variable in the whole calculation.
It is also why cost per lead benchmarks are argued about so much. Two window and door companies in Germany can run the same campaign against the same auction and report figures that differ by a factor of two, entirely because of what happens after the click.
Why a more expensive lead is usually the cheaper one
The buyer behind these figures is a homeowner replacing single or early double glazing, and what moves them is draughts, noise and energy bills.
Filtering on number of frames, material preference, ownership and timeline removes 30 to 50 percent of raw form fills. The survivors cost more each and close far better. A EUR 114 lead you can actually service beats a EUR 43 lead you have to refuse, and the refused lead is not free: it costs a call, a diary slot and a small amount of your team's belief in the channel.
How to test a windows and doors lead supplier in Germany without risking a quarter
Buy a small, defined batch rather than signing a retainer, and decide in advance what success looks like. For this trade at these prices, a fair test is enough leads to expect two or three sales: at 4 to 6 leads per customer that means at least 18 leads, and anything smaller measures luck rather than the supplier.
Fix the postcodes and job types in writing before the first lead arrives, using North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, Baden-Wurttemberg and Berlin as your reference area.
Record time from lead creation to your first call attempt. If that number is above thirty minutes, you are measuring your own follow-up, not the leads.
Track cost per acquired customer against the EUR 465 benchmark on this page rather than cost per lead.
Agree the replacement rule for wrong area, wrong job type and unreachable numbers.
Confirm the price is exclusive of VAT and denominated in EUR.
Suppliers who are confident in their own quality accept every one of those conditions, because they know the arithmetic works in their favour.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a windows and doors lead cost in Germany?
Roughly EUR 72 to EUR 114 for an exclusive, qualified lead in 2026, with EUR 93 as the working average. Shared leads sell for less, typically EUR 36 to EUR 57, but they reach three to five window and door companies at the same time.
How many windows and doors leads do I need to win one job?
4 to 6 exclusive leads, assuming you call inside the first hour. On shared leads plan for two to three times that number.
What does that make my cost per customer?
About EUR 465, which is roughly 5.5 percent of a typical EUR 8,500 windows and doors project. Anything under 9 percent is healthy for this trade.
Why are windows and doors leads more expensive in some countries?
Because the auction is local. Germany runs at a multiplier of 1.20 against the Benelux baseline, mainly because installer competition is the deepest in Europe, and that competition is what pushes cost per lead 10 to 30 percent above the Benelux baseline.
What should I qualify a windows and doors lead on?
Number of frames, material preference, ownership and timeline. Those five answers remove 30 to 50 percent of raw enquiries and lift close rate more than any change to your pitch.
Does a cheaper windows and doors lead in Germany mean better economics?
Not on its own. What matters is cost per acquired customer against job value. At EUR 93 per lead and a typical EUR 8,500 project, acquisition runs at about 5.5 percent of revenue, and that percentage is the number to compare across markets.
