What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried under leads from small-time flippers who ghosted after quotes for our $800 HDR packages. Their custom scoring now flags the serious agents handling $500K+ waterfront homes, and we've doubled our luxury shoots in just four months—finally, bookings that match our expertise in drone and virtual staging."
Sarah Kline
Owner, Elite Property Visions Photography Studio, Miami, FL
"Integrating this with our MLS feed was a game-changer. Last quarter, it prioritized leads from commercial brokers, leading to three big office space gigs worth $15K total that we would've missed amid residential clutter. No more chasing shadows; our pipeline's focused and profitable for urban commercial properties."
Mike Rivera
Lead Photographer, Urban Lens Studios, Chicago Commercial Division
"We used to spend weekends sorting inquiries manually from Zillow and agent portals. Now, the AI scores everything overnight, and we're booking 20% more high-value residential shoots without extra hours. It's like having an insider who knows which MLS listings for $1M+ homes scream for pro photography with twilight and aerials."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does custom lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for photography leads?
Standard CRMs like basic HubSpot setups offer generic tagging, but they ignore real estate nuances like listing urgency or agent close rates. Our AIQ Labs solution builds a tailored model that scores based on your specifics—say, prioritizing leads needing drone footage for high-end condos over simple residential snaps. We integrate directly with MLS feeds and your booking system, delivering scores in seconds. Photography studios see 3x better prioritization, turning vague inquiries into confirmed shoots faster. It's not just sorting; it's predictive intelligence honed for property visuals, reducing follow-up waste by 50%.
What data sources does the lead scoring use for real estate photography?
We pull from your CRM, email inboxes, social media referrals, and MLS platforms to analyze signals like property price points, agent activity, and past booking history. For instance, a lead from an agent with five recent luxury closings gets a top score if it matches your premium shoot packages. Our system enriches this with public data on market trends, ensuring scores reflect real demand for twilight exteriors or virtual staging. Unlike generic tools, it's flexible— you set weights for factors like shoot turnaround time needs. This results in 40% higher conversion rates, as proven in our deployments with similar studios.
How long does it take to implement custom lead scoring for my studio?
From initial consultation to live deployment, expect 4-6 weeks for a full custom build. Week one involves mapping your workflow and data sources, like integrating with your scheduling app. By week three, our AI model is trained on your historical leads, tested against real scenarios such as seasonal listing rushes. Launch includes training your team on the dashboard. Post-go-live, we monitor for two weeks, tweaking for accuracy. This timeline beats off-the-shelf setups that drag on with brittle integrations, getting you efficient lead flow without disrupting your shooting schedule.
Can this system integrate with my existing photography booking tools?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like HoneyBook, 17hats, or even custom calendars, plus real estate staples like Zillow leads or agent CRMs. The AI scores incoming inquiries in real-time and auto-populates high-scorers into your availability slots. For example, a hot lead for a commercial property tour gets flagged and scheduled instantly. No more manual entry errors that delay shoots. Our approach ensures seamless data flow, reducing admin time by 30 hours monthly, and scales as your studio grows to handle more virtual tours or team expansions.
What results can I expect in terms of ROI for lead scoring?
Photography firms typically see ROI within 2-3 months, with 25-40% uplift in qualified bookings. Consider a studio averaging 15 shoots monthly at $800 each: Our scoring filters out 60% of low-value leads, focusing on premium ones that boost average revenue to $1,100 per job. That's an extra $4,500 monthly without added marketing spend. We track metrics like lead-to-shoot conversion (industry benchmark: 15%; ours hits 35%) and provide dashboards for ongoing proof. It's built for efficiency, replacing scattered tools with a unified system that pays for itself through higher-margin work.
Is the lead scoring system secure for handling real estate client data?
Security is paramount in real estate, where leads involve sensitive property details. We use enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access to protect data from inquiry capture to scoring output. Integrations with MLS follow strict API protocols, ensuring no exposure of agent contacts or listing info. Unlike cloud-based generics prone to breaches, our custom-built solution runs on your owned infrastructure, with audit logs for every score. Studios report zero incidents in our deployments, giving peace of mind as you prioritize high-stakes luxury shoots without data worries.
