This enterprise-grade solution integrates directly into your daily tools, scoring leads on a 1-100 scale tailored to what drives your bookings. Short on time? It automates the heavy lifting.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd get flooded with calls for tiny fixes like minor trim repairs that never panned out, eating into our schedule for real builds. Their custom scoring now flags the serious remodel leads right away—we went from 40% close rate to 65% in three months on projects over $10K, and our guys are actually on job sites more, completing 15% more custom cabinet installs."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Carpentry
"I was skeptical about AI for leads, but this system learned our patterns from past deck and framing jobs over two years of data. Last season, it prioritized a cluster of high-budget inquiries we might've overlooked, landing us five $20K+ projects including backyard pergolas and sunroom additions. It's like having an extra estimator who never sleeps, saving us from bidding on unqualified porch rebuilds."
Sarah Ruiz
Operations Manager, Ruiz Woodworks
"Dealing with seasonal rushes was chaos—too many unqualified homeowners calling about 'quick fixes' like gutter cleaning. The lead scoring integrates with our scheduling app and scores based on urgency for roofing or siding urgency, helping us book 30% more viable jobs without overtime, including eight $8K+ roof replacements in peak summer. Game-changer for our small team of five."

Common Questions
How does lead scoring specifically help carpenters differentiate high-value projects?
For carpenters, lead scoring cuts through the noise by evaluating factors unique to your trade—like project complexity signals in inquiries (e.g., 'custom staircase' vs. 'fix a shelf') and client readiness indicators such as follow-up speed. We build the AI to assign scores based on your historical winners, say 80+ for leads likely to book $5K+ jobs. This means your team skips the casual browsers and jumps to prospects primed for detailed bids. Industry data shows this approach lifts close rates by 35%, as seen in our work with similar trades. It's not generic; we customize it to your workflow, integrating with tools you use daily for immediate impact without disrupting your on-site rhythm.
What data does the system use to score leads for my carpentry business?
We pull from your existing sources—website forms, call logs, email interactions, and CRM entries—focusing on carpentry-relevant signals like mentioned materials (hardwood vs. laminate), timeline urgency, and location proximity to your service area. No external data scraping; it's all owned by you. The AI learns patterns from your past jobs, such as higher scores for leads referencing 'eco-friendly builds' if that's your niche. Setup takes your input on key criteria, ensuring accuracy. Benchmarks indicate 40% better lead quality within the first month, helping you avoid drives to unqualified sites and focus on revenue-driving consultations.
How long does it take to implement custom lead scoring for a small carpentry shop?
For a typical small to mid-sized operation, we complete discovery and build in 4-6 weeks, starting with a deep dive into your lead flow and job history. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that drag on with setups, our process is streamlined: Week 1 for mapping your needs, Weeks 2-3 for model development and testing on sample data, and Week 4 for integration and go-live. We handle the tech, so your team stays productive. Post-launch, we monitor for tweaks, with full ownership handed over. Clients often see initial scoring benefits in under a month, reducing wasted bids by 25% right away—perfect for seasonal ramps without the hassle.
Can the lead scoring system integrate with my existing scheduling and quoting software?
Absolutely—it's designed for seamless two-way integration with tools like QuickBooks, ServiceTitan, or even simple Google Sheets for quotes. We create custom APIs that push scored leads directly into your pipeline, auto-tagging them as 'high-priority' for immediate follow-up on things like cabinet installs. This eliminates manual entry errors, which plague 70% of home services pros per Angi reports. If you're using phone systems for inbound calls, we layer in voice-to-score functionality too. The result? A unified view where a scored lead triggers a calendar slot, boosting efficiency by 30% and ensuring no hot prospect slips through the cracks in your busy workflow.
What if my carpentry business evolves—does the scoring adapt?
Yes, our systems are built flexible, like adjustable clamps on a workbench. We include ongoing optimization in the package, retraining the AI quarterly with fresh data from your evolving projects—say, if you pivot to more outdoor structures. You own the code, so tweaks are straightforward without vendor fees. For instance, one client added outdoor deck scoring rules mid-year and saw a 20% uptick in seasonal bookings. This adaptability ensures the tool grows with you, maintaining 90%+ accuracy over time, far surpassing static tools that become obsolete. It's enterprise-grade resilience tailored for the dynamic nature of home services.
Is the lead scoring secure for handling client information in the home services space?
Security is paramount—we use enterprise-level encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, crucial for protecting sensitive details like home addresses in carpentry leads. Data stays on your servers or our secure cloud with full access controls, no third-party sharing. We've audited our builds for trades facing compliance risks, ensuring scored insights don't expose personal info. In practice, this means safe handling of leads from initial inquiry to job close, with audit logs for peace of mind. Home services firms using our system report zero breaches, allowing you to focus on building trust through quality work rather than worrying about data vulnerabilities.
