The "Lead Overload" Problem
Endless RFPs from tire-kickers draining proposal resources, with agencies spending 20-30 hours per unqualified RFP on custom wireframes and mockups that never materialize
Uneven client portfolios from poor lead prioritization, resulting in over-reliance on one-off web builds instead of balanced retainers for ongoing UX/UI maintenance
Missed high-value retainers hidden in low-engagement inquiries, such as vague requests for 'site audits' that actually signal enterprise-level digital transformation needs
Team burnout from chasing leads without conversion signals, like unqualified SMB inquiries lacking clear scopes for custom CMS integrations
Inconsistent revenue forecasting due to unpredictable lead quality, complicating billable hour projections for senior developers and project managers
Wasted marketing spend on prospects uninterested in custom designs, such as generic template seekers who bypass agencies for off-the-shelf platforms like WordPress themes

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried under 50 inbound leads a month via our website form, but only 10% turned into actual web projects. Their custom scoring system, trained on our historical RFP data, now filters out the noise—last quarter, we closed three six-figure e-commerce redesigns from leads it flagged as high-priority, saving our team 15 hours a week on futile discovery calls."
Sarah Jenkins
Creative Director at PixelForge Digital Agency
"As a boutique web firm specializing in SaaS platforms, we struggled with leads that sounded promising but lacked budget for custom integrations. The AI model they built analyzes RFP details, email threads, and past interactions to score intent, helping us target enterprise clients effectively. In six months, our average project value jumped from $15K to $28K, with two new retainer contracts for ongoing API maintenance."
Mike Rivera
Founder and CEO of DesignWave Interactive Studios
"Implementation took just two weeks, integrating seamlessly with our HubSpot CRM for lead tracking and Asana for project scoping. No more guessing which inquiries warrant a full proposal with wireframes—our hit rate on scored leads is now 65% for custom web applications, and we're finally scaling our boutique team without adding headcount amid growing demand."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM features?
Unlike built-in CRM tools that rely on basic rules like lead source or company size, our custom AI analyzes nuanced signals unique to web design agencies—such as engagement with your UX case studies or keywords in inquiry forms indicating budget readiness. We train the model on your past 12-24 months of data to predict conversion likelihood with 85% accuracy, far surpassing generic systems. This tailored approach means you're not just sorting leads; you're forecasting which ones will lead to profitable, long-term client relationships. Setup involves a quick data audit, and we handle the integration without disrupting your workflow.
What data do you need to build the scoring model?
We start with your existing CRM exports, website analytics, and project archives—things like closed-won deals, lead interactions, and client feedback notes. No sensitive design files are required; we focus on anonymized patterns, such as how long prospects viewed your portfolio before inquiring. For web agencies, this includes signals from tools like Google Analytics or Hotjar. If data is sparse, we supplement with industry benchmarks from similar firms. The process is secure, with all training done on our encrypted servers, and you retain full control over the final model.
How long does implementation take for a web design agency?
Typically 4-6 weeks from initial consultation to full deployment, depending on your data complexity. Week one is discovery: mapping your lead flow and gathering inputs. Weeks two and three involve model building and testing against historical leads. The final weeks cover integration with your CRM (e.g., Salesforce or Pipedrive) and custom UI setup, plus training for your team. We've streamlined this for agencies, ensuring minimal downtime—many see initial scoring insights within the first month. Post-launch, we provide two weeks of optimization to hit peak performance.
Can the system handle seasonal fluctuations in web project leads?
Absolutely. Our AI incorporates seasonality into its algorithms, learning from your data patterns like spikes in e-commerce redesign inquiries during Q4. For web agencies, it adjusts scores for time-sensitive factors, such as urgency in RFP timelines or holiday-driven site updates. This results in more stable prioritization year-round, preventing overload during peaks and identifying evergreen opportunities in lulls. Clients report 30% better resource allocation, with dashboards showing forecasted lead volume tied to industry trends like new CMS releases.
What if our lead sources change over time?
Flexibility is core to our design. The system is built modularly, so adding new sources—like LinkedIn campaigns or partner referrals—is straightforward via API updates, without rebuilding the entire model. We include a quarterly review process to retrain on fresh data, ensuring scores remain accurate as your agency evolves, say, from static sites to full-stack app development. This adaptability has helped agencies maintain 80%+ accuracy even after pivoting services, keeping your pipeline aligned with shifting client needs in the digital space.
Is this solution scalable as our agency grows?
Yes, engineered for growth. Starting with your current volume of 20-50 leads monthly, the system scales effortlessly to hundreds without performance dips, using cloud-based architecture that handles increased data loads. As you expand—perhaps adding video production or SEO services—we retrain the model to incorporate new client types. Features like automated scaling and multi-user access ensure it supports team growth, from 10 to 50 members, while maintaining speed. Agencies we've partnered with have seen it evolve alongside their revenue, from $2M to $10M, without additional costs.
