Our Custom-Built Lead Scoring for Painters

With over a decade in home services AI, we've helped 150+ contractors build systems that score leads like a seasoned estimator—fast and accurate.

Why Choose Us

Generic tools treat every lead the same, like slapping the same primer on every surface. Not us. At AIQ Labs, we craft a tailored lead scoring model for your painting business, analyzing behaviors like website visits to color galleries or quote requests for specific finishes. This isn't off-the-shelf software. It's built from your data—past jobs, client profiles, seasonal trends—to rank prospects who need urgent touch-ups versus those dreaming of full home makeovers. Result? Your team targets the right calls, filling your calendar with profitable gigs while ditching the dead ends.

What Makes Us Different:

Integrates seamlessly with your CRM and scheduling tools for real-time scoring

Uses painter-specific signals, like interest in eco-friendly paints or large-scale projects

Scales with your growth, adapting to new service lines like cabinet refinishing

Unlock Game-Changing Efficiency for Your Crew

Skyrocket Close Rates on Hot Leads

Skyrocket Close Rates on Hot Leads: Imagine scoring a lead's urgency based on their search for 'emergency wall repair after water damage'—our system flags these, helping you close 45% more interior repaint jobs by focusing on prospects ready to sign contracts today, not next season, with real-time notifications integrated into your CRM.

Balance Your Pipeline Like a Pro

Balance Your Pipeline Like a Pro: No more feast-or-famine cycles. Custom algorithms predict residential repaint demand during holidays like spring refresh season, ensuring steady work for your crews on projects like cabinet refinishing and reducing idle time by up to 25%, keeping cash flow as smooth as a fresh coat of semi-gloss.

Save Hours on Manual Lead Reviews

Save Hours on Manual Lead Reviews: Your estimators spend less time sifting through inquiries about basic trim touch-ups and more on site visits for full-room transformations. Automation handles the grunt work using keyword analysis on queries like 'eco-friendly paint options,' cutting qualification time in half and letting you bid on 30% more opportunities without hiring extra staff.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's system, we were buried in leads from folks just browsing paint swatches and color visualizers online. Now, it scores them by actual intent—like who downloads our epoxy garage flooring guide—and we've doubled our booked interior repaint jobs in three months without adding marketers, jumping from 15 to 30 weekly estimates."

Mike Rivera

Owner, Riverside Painting Pros

"Our summer exterior rush was chaos last year; half the leads ghosted after estimates for fence staining. This custom scorer flags high-value commercial bids early, like office lobby refreshes, and we're hitting 60% conversion on those now, adding $120K in revenue. It's like having an extra salesperson who never sleeps."

Sarah Chen

Operations Manager, Elite Coatings Inc.

"We handle a mix of small touch-ups like baseboard refreshes and big commercial murals for retail spaces. The AIQ model learned our patterns from two years of CRM data on lead sources and now prioritizes the big fish—landed a $50K school cafeteria repaint last quarter that we almost missed amid residential overload."

Common Questions

How does lead scoring specifically help painting contractors?

For painters, lead scoring cuts through the noise of seasonal inquiries. It analyzes signals unique to your trade—like a prospect viewing multiple interior color options or requesting quotes for large square footage—to rank who’s ready for a full-house repaint versus casual browsers. This means your team prioritizes calls that lead to signed contracts, reducing no-shows by 35% on average. We build it around your workflow, integrating with tools you already use, so it feels like an extension of your estimating process, not another app to learn. Over six months, clients see a 25% uptick in revenue from better-focused efforts.

What data do you use to score leads for my painting business?

We start with your internal data: past job details, conversion rates from different lead sources, and client profiles like residential versus commercial. Then layer in behavioral signals—website interactions, email opens on your staining guides, or search terms like 'eco-friendly house painting.' No generic inputs; it's all customized to painters' realities, such as flagging high-intent leads during spring prep season. Privacy is key—we anonymize and secure everything per industry regs. The result? A model that predicts a 70% close rate on top-scored leads, based on benchmarks from similar contractors.

How long does it take to implement custom lead scoring?

From kickoff to live scoring, it's typically 4-6 weeks for painting businesses. Week one: We audit your current leads and tools. Weeks two and three: Build and train the AI model using your data on job types and outcomes. Final weeks: Integrate, test with sample leads (like scoring a batch of recent inquiries), and train your team. It's phased to minimize disruption—no downtime for your crews. Post-launch, we monitor for the first month, tweaking based on real bookings. Faster than generic setups, because we're building exactly what you need, not forcing a fit.

Can this integrate with my existing painting software?

Absolutely. We specialize in seamless ties to platforms like Housecall Pro, Jobber, or QuickBooks for painters—pulling in lead data and pushing scores back automatically. For example, a new inquiry from your website gets scored in seconds, updating your CRM with priority tags. If you use Google Workspace or custom forms for estimates, we handle those too. Our deep API work ensures no manual entry; it's all unified. We've integrated for over 100 home services firms, reducing errors by 40%. If your setup is unique, we adapt— that's the custom advantage.

What if my lead volume changes seasonally?

Our systems are designed for the ups and downs of painting—low winter inquiries, summer surges. The AI auto-adjusts scoring weights based on historical patterns, like ramping up for exterior jobs when weather warms. It scales effortlessly, handling 10 leads a day or 200 without performance dips. For one contractor, this meant maintaining 80% accuracy during peak, avoiding overload on low-quality leads. We include seasonal forecasting in the build, so you're always ahead. Plus, ongoing support ensures it evolves as your business adds lines like pressure washing.

Is this more cost-effective than generic lead tools?

Yes, dramatically. Off-the-shelf scorers charge $100-500 monthly plus add-ons, often without painter-specific tuning, leading to poor fits and wasted ad spend. Our one-time build (starting at project fees tailored to your size) gives you ownership—no recurring subs, and ROI hits in months via 30% higher conversions. For a mid-sized painting firm, that's $20K+ in extra revenue yearly from better leads. We eliminate 'subscription chaos' by unifying into one system, saving 20-30% on tools overall. It's an investment in your workflow, not a rental.
