The "Lead Chaos" Problem
Emergency lockout calls from stranded homeowners get buried in voicemail during peak evening rush hours, delaying urgent rekey or entry services
Manual note-taking from customer inquiries about key duplication or smart lock installations leads to forgotten details like address or lock type, eroding customer trust in your locksmith expertise
Disjointed follow-ups between phone logs and your field service scheduling app cause double-bookings for on-site lock repairs or installations
After-hours inquiries from locked-out homeowners needing emergency access go unanswered until morning, risking property security and customer dissatisfaction
Tracking referral sources for residential rekey jobs after moves or break-ins is guesswork, wasting ad spend on ineffective local marketing
Overloaded dispatchers juggle emergency lockout calls and paperwork for service vans, delaying on-site arrivals and increasing response times for homeowners

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings and Revenue Growth
Reclaim 20 Hours Weekly on Lead Handling
Reclaim 20 Hours Weekly on Lead Handling: Manual lead tracking for locksmith inquiries, such as lockout reports or rekey requests, eats time like rust on unused tools. Our system automates capture from calls and texts, qualifying urgency for residential vs. commercial jobs, freeing your team for fieldwork. Expect 20 hours saved per week, translating to $4,000+ in billable time at average $200/hour rates—proven across 50+ home service firms with reduced admin overhead.
Boost Close Rates by 35% with Instant Responses
Boost Close Rates by 35% with Instant Responses: Delayed replies to homeowner inquiries turn hot leads cold faster than a winter lock freeze. AI routes emergency lockouts to the nearest mobile tech while nurturing routine rekey or installation requests via automated texts. Industry benchmarks from home services show 35% higher conversions; one locksmith client saw $12K extra revenue in the first quarter from faster follow-ups on after-hours calls.
Achieve 5x ROI Through Efficiency Gains
Achieve 5x ROI Through Efficiency Gains: Juggling leads manually costs locksmiths 15% of potential jobs due to missed lockout emergencies. Our custom automation integrates with your service app to cut that waste, delivering a 5x return within six months via reduced no-shows, optimized van routing, and automated invoicing. Track every lead's path, from initial call about a jammed deadbolt to key-in-hand delivery, for crystal-clear productivity boosts in residential services.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd miss half our after-hours lockout calls from panicked homeowners, and follow-ups were a nightmare with scribbled notes on lock types. Now, leads auto-sort by urgency—last month, we booked 18 extra emergency rekey jobs without adding staff, responding in under 15 minutes. It's like having a 24/7 dispatcher who never sleeps."
Mike Rivera
Owner, QuickLock Residential Services
"I was skeptical about custom AI for our small locksmith shop handling mostly home rekeys, but after implementation in just two weeks, our lead conversion jumped from 25% to 42%. No more double-entering data from calls about smart lock installs into the scheduler—saves my admin about 12 hours a week, and we've cut missed appointments by 70% on residential jobs."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Metro Home Locksmiths
"Dealing with peak-season chaos from summer move-in rekeys was killing us; leads piled up like unserviced vans waiting for dispatch. AIQ built a system that flags high-value referrals from real estate agents instantly, integrating with our routing software. In the first year, it paid for itself with $8,500 in recovered revenue from what used to be lost follow-ups on deadbolt upgrades."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle emergency locksmith calls that come in at odd hours?
Our custom AI voice agents answer calls 24/7, transcribing the issue—like a residential lockout—and scoring urgency based on keywords such as 'break-in' or 'stranded.' It then routes to on-call techs via SMS or app notifications, or books a slot if none available. For one locksmith client, this cut response times from 2 hours to 15 minutes, capturing 90% of off-hours leads that previously went to competitors. We train the system on your specific service lingo for accuracy, ensuring it feels like an extension of your team.
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way API integrations tailored to tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or QuickBooks. Unlike plug-and-play apps that glitch, we build custom connectors to sync leads instantly—customer details from a call populate your scheduler without re-entry. This eliminates errors in job quotes or duplicates. A recent project for a 10-tech firm reduced data entry by 18 hours weekly, with zero integration failures in the first year.
What's the ROI timeline for locksmith businesses using this?
Most clients see a 3-5x ROI within 4-6 months, driven by faster conversions and reduced admin time. For example, capturing just 5 extra emergency jobs monthly at $150 average adds $9,000 revenue, offsetting build costs. We quantify this upfront with your metrics—lead volume, close rates—and optimize post-launch. Industry data shows locksmiths lose 20-30% of leads to slow follow-up; our system plugs that leak directly.
Do I need technical expertise to use the system?
No, we design intuitive interfaces—like a simple dashboard showing active leads and alerts—that your dispatchers can use without IT help. Training takes 2-4 hours, focusing on daily tasks such as reviewing auto-scored calls. For non-tech-savvy teams, we include voice-guided prompts. One solo locksmith reported feeling 'empowered, not overwhelmed' after week one, handling 50% more leads solo.
How secure is the data from customer calls and leads?
Security is paramount; we use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with standards like SOC 2. Call transcripts are anonymized where needed, and access is role-based—only authorized staff see sensitive info like addresses. We've audited systems for service pros handling valuables, preventing breaches that could erode client trust. Regular updates keep it robust against threats.
Can this scale if my locksmith business grows to multiple locations?
Absolutely, our architecture is built for scalability, handling increased call volumes across branches without slowdowns. We incorporate geo-routing to direct leads to the nearest shop, optimizing response times. A client expanding from one to three locations saw seamless growth, with lead distribution improving efficiency by 25%. We plan for your trajectory from day one.
