Wasted ad spend on low-intent homeowners who ghost after initial contact for simple tree pruning estimates

Inaccurate scoring ignoring local factors like clay-heavy soil types or strict HOA restrictions on fence installations
Tailored Lead Scoring Built for Your Landscaping Workflow
With over a decade architecting AI for service pros, we've helped landscapers like you turn chaotic lead flows into predictable revenue streams.
Why Choose Us
One-size-fits-all tools treat every lead like a generic customer, but in landscaping, that's a recipe for inefficiency. We build a custom AI lead scoring system from the ground up, trained on your historical data—think past quotes for sod installations or hardscape jobs. It analyzes signals unique to your business, like inquiry timing during drought seasons or budget hints in emails. No more guesswork. Your sales team gets a clear score: hot, warm, or cold, integrated directly into your CRM. This isn't off-the-shelf software. It's enterprise-grade AI, flexible to scale with your growing crews and client relationships.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Lead Pipeline
Higher Close Rates on Premium Projects
Higher Close Rates on Premium Projects: Focus your estimators on leads scoring 80+ for intent, like those requesting irrigation overhauls or retaining wall builds.

Optimized Crew Scheduling During Peak Seasons
Optimized Crew Scheduling During Peak Seasons: Avoid scheduling conflicts by filtering out low-score leads early, prioritizing jobs like seasonal bed mulching or patio paver installs. This frees up your teams for high-value jobs, reducing no-shows by 45% and ensuring steady workflow from spring mulching to fall leaf removal cleanups, with 25% more billable hours per crew.
Deeper Client Relationships from Smarter Prioritization
Deeper Client Relationships from Smarter Prioritization: Score leads based on relationship potential, like repeat business signals from past clients inquiring about seasonal turf aeration. This approach has helped firms nurture 15% more long-term partnerships, boosting lifetime value without expanding your sales headcount, evidenced by 20% increase in referral-driven projects over six months.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, we were buried under spring leads for basic lawn aeration that went nowhere—half our quotes never panned out, costing us weeks of follow-up. Now, the scoring flags the real opportunities, like that $12K composite deck job we closed in two weeks after prioritizing irrigation add-ons. It's cut our chase time in half and boosted quarterly revenue by 22%."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, GreenScape Landscaping Pros
"Our old CRM lumped every inquiry together, so we'd send crews out for tiny edging gigs that weren't worth the gas, especially during the busy April rush. This custom scorer looks at things like project scope in the initial email—such as full hardscape proposals—and has bumped our hit rate to 70% on site visits for retaining walls and pathways. Finally, leads that match our expertise in sustainable yard transformations."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Evergreen Sustainable Landscapes
"During last summer's heatwave, low-quality leads for minor shrub trims were killing our momentum amid drought restrictions. AIQ built us a model that prioritizes drought-resistant xeriscape install inquiries, factoring in local water ordinances, and we've seen a 30% uptick in bookings for native plant designs. It's like having an extra salesperson who never sleeps, saving us $8K in wasted site visits last season."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for landscapers?
Standard CRMs offer basic filters, like lead source or date, but they ignore the nuances of landscaping, such as a client's mention of 'full yard overhaul' versus 'quick trim.' Our custom AI digs deeper, using machine learning trained on your data to score based on intent signals—project scale, urgency, even local weather impacts. For instance, it prioritizes leads during rainy seasons when sod jobs spike. We've seen landscapers cut unqualified follow-ups by 50%, focusing crews on deals that close 3x faster. It's not a plug-in; it's a bespoke system built to fit your workflow, ensuring every score aligns with your revenue goals.
What data do you need to build the scoring model?
We start with your existing lead history—think past inquiries from your website, phone logs, or referral notes. No need for massive datasets; even 6-12 months of quotes for jobs like mulching or patios works. We anonymize sensitive details and focus on patterns: which emails led to $10K contracts? Our team handles the import securely, mapping it to landscaper-specific factors like job type or client location. If you're short on data, we supplement with industry benchmarks from similar firms. The result? A model accurate from day one, continuously improving as you feed it more real-world examples.
How long does it take to see results from the system?
Most clients notice improvements within the first 30 days. We launch a minimum viable model quickly, scoring new leads in real-time, then refine over 60-90 days based on your feedback. For a mid-sized landscaping firm, this meant prioritizing 20% more high-value leads in the first month, leading to two extra $8K projects. Seasonal businesses like yours benefit fastest during peaks—imagine spring without the clutter. Our process includes weekly check-ins to tweak scores, ensuring it adapts to your unique challenges, like handling HOA-restricted neighborhoods.
Can the system integrate with my existing landscaping software?
Absolutely. We specialize in two-way integrations with tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or even custom QuickBooks setups for invoicing. The scoring feeds directly into your pipeline, auto-flagging hot leads for immediate quoting. For example, a high-score inquiry for retaining walls triggers an alert to your estimator's app. We've connected with over 40 platforms, handling everything from API calls to data syncing without disrupting your day-to-day. If your setup is quirky—like tying leads to GPS-tracked crew routes—we build custom bridges to keep it seamless and error-free.
What if our lead volume fluctuates with seasons?
Our systems are designed for that exact variability. The AI dynamically adjusts scoring weights—ramping up scrutiny on budget signals during slow winters or loosening for volume in summer. We've helped firms like yours handle 5x lead spikes without overwhelming the team, maintaining 90% accuracy. It learns from your patterns, such as higher conversions from referral leads in fall cleanups. Plus, it's scalable: start small and expand as needed, with no extra costs for seasonal surges. This flexibility means your investment works year-round, smoothing out the highs and lows of landscaping demand.
Is the lead scoring compliant with data privacy laws for client info?
Yes, we prioritize compliance from the start. All data processing follows GDPR and CCPA standards, with encryption for homeowner details like addresses or project specs. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds include audit logs and consent tracking, essential for service pros dealing with personal property info. We've audited systems for landscapers facing local regs, ensuring no fines or breaches. Your data stays yours—we never resell or share it. Clients appreciate the peace of mind, especially when scoring leads from neighborhood referrals without risking trust.
