The "Lead Overload" Problem
Endless inquiries from homeowners ghosting after initial quotes for plumbing leaks or roof inspections
Struggling to differentiate urgent HVAC breakdowns from casual browsers submitting forms for minor drywall patches
Dispatch teams chasing low-value jobs like fence tweaks or gutter cleanings while missing big-ticket kitchen remodels or full bathroom overhauls
Seasonal spikes overwhelming your schedule with unqualified leads from platforms like Thumbtack or Angi, such as spring AC tune-up requests that fizzle
Relationship-building efforts wasted on prospects outside your service radius or budget range, like out-of-town queries for luxury home additions
Manual sorting of leads by email patterns or call history for electrical wiring jobs eating into your hands-on service time on-site

No more one-size-fits-all headaches. Just a perfect fit for your daily grind.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Enterprise-Grade Efficiency in Your Handyman Operations
Skyrocket Close Rates on High-Intent Jobs
Skyrocket Close Rates on High-Intent Jobs: Imagine dispatching your team to leads 3x more likely to book within 48 hours. Our system scores based on homeowner intent, like urgent water damage calls versus vague 'handyman needed' posts for minor shelf installations. Handymen using our custom models report 35% higher conversions on projects over $1,000, freeing you to focus on what you do best: delivering top-notch service like precise tile work or secure installations.
Slash Time Spent on Fruitless Follow-Ups
Slash Time Spent on Fruitless Follow-Ups: No more chasing shadows. Our AI prioritizes leads matching your sweet spot—say, $500+ roofing or flooring projects within 20 miles of your base. One client cut no-show follow-ups by 60% in just two months, reclaiming 10 hours weekly for actual wrench-turning on emergency repairs. It's like having a sharp-eyed foreman sorting your queue before the phone even rings for that next furnace fix.
Build Deeper Client Relationships Effortlessly
Build Deeper Client Relationships Effortlessly: Lead scoring isn't just numbers; it's about nurturing trust in an industry built on referrals for ongoing home maintenance. Our tailored system flags repeat potential early, helping you personalize outreach—like suggesting annual HVAC tune-up packages for past plumbing clients facing seasonal issues. Result? 28% uplift in lifetime value over 12 months, turning one-off fixes into loyal, word-of-mouth advocates who refer neighbors for full remodels.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's scoring, we'd get 50 leads a week from Thumbtack but only close 10, mostly small fence repairs. Now, we're laser-focused on the ones that fit our residential repair niche—like urgent roof leaks—and last month alone, we booked 22 jobs worth $15K, all from top-scored prospects. It's transformed how we handle peak seasons without adding staff, especially during summer storm surges."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera's Handyman Pros
"I was drowning in Angi leads that went nowhere, like vague queries for cabinet refinishing. Their custom AI learned our patterns for kitchen and bath work, scoring leads by urgency and budget fit. In three months, our conversion rate jumped from 12% to 31% on projects over $2,500, and we're actually turning down low-ball gigs now, focusing on high-end remodels."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, FixIt Fast Services
"As a small crew specializing in older homes, every hour counts. This system auto-scores calls about electrical panel upgrades, which are our bread and butter, and we ignore the tire-kickers asking for basic outlet fixes. Saved us 15 hours a week on calls, and our revenue's up 25% year-over-year without the chaos of winter wiring emergencies overwhelming us."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does lead scoring specifically help handyman businesses?
Handyman services deal with a mix of urgent fixes and exploratory inquiries, but generic tools often miss the nuances. Our custom AI scores leads by factors like job urgency (e.g., 'leaking roof now' vs. 'future deck idea'), location proximity, and budget signals from form data. This means your team focuses on prospects likely to book within 48 hours, reducing no-shows and drive time. For instance, a client in suburban repairs saw a 40% drop in wasted visits. We tailor it to your workflow, integrating with scheduling apps to auto-prioritize. No more sifting through dozens of low-intent emails—it's like having an expert dispatcher AI working 24/7. Over time, it learns from your conversions, getting smarter and boosting your close rate without adding headcount.
What's the difference between your custom solution and off-the-shelf lead scoring software?
Off-the-shelf tools apply blanket algorithms that don't grasp handyman specifics, like scoring a vague 'handyman help' the same as a detailed 'install garbage disposal ASAP.' Our bespoke system is engineered for your exact needs—factoring in seasonal patterns, service area maps, and past job outcomes. We build it with production-grade code, not no-code limits, so it scales as you grow from solo operator to multi-crew. Clients own the full system, avoiding subscription traps, and we integrate deeply with your tools for seamless data flow. One handyman firm ditched their generic app after it flagged out-of-radius leads as hot; our version cut those errors by 70%, directly tying scores to revenue-generating jobs.
How long does it take to implement lead scoring for my handyman service?
Implementation is streamlined for quick wins without disrupting your operations. We start with a 1-2 week discovery to map your lead sources and criteria, like prioritizing electrical over cosmetic jobs. Integration follows in 2-3 weeks, wiring into your CRM and testing with sample data to ensure accuracy—think scoring a batch of recent inquiries and refining based on what actually booked. Full deployment hits in 4-6 weeks, with your team trained via simple dashboards. Post-launch, we optimize weekly for the first month. A recent client, handling 100+ monthly leads, was scoring and prioritizing in under five weeks, seeing immediate 25% efficiency gains in follow-ups. It's designed for busy handymen—no long downtimes.
Can this system handle seasonal fluctuations in handyman leads?
Absolutely—seasonality is a core challenge for handymen, with summer deck builds flooding in alongside winter pipe bursts. Our AI model incorporates historical patterns, adjusting scores dynamically; for example, boosting weights on heating repair queries in fall. It analyzes trends like increased searches for 'gutter cleaning near me' and flags surges early. Unlike rigid templates, our custom build adapts via machine learning, using your past data to predict hot periods. One client in a four-season climate used it to ramp up crew scheduling for spring landscaping leads, converting 55% more than off-season noise. We also add buffers for volume spikes, ensuring the system stays responsive even during peak referral seasons from satisfied clients.
What data does the lead scoring use, and is it secure for home service info?
We use non-sensitive, business-relevant data like lead source (e.g., website form vs. phone call), query keywords, response speed, and demographic basics such as zip code or home type—nothing invasive like full addresses until qualified. For handymen, this might include job descriptors ('broken faucet' scores higher than 'general advice'). Security is paramount; we employ enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR-compliant storage, and role-based access so only your team sees scores. Data stays in your owned system, not cloud rentals prone to breaches. We've audited integrations with tools like QuickBooks for payments, ensuring no leaks. A plumbing service client appreciated how it anonymized early leads while prioritizing real threats like 'burst pipe,' keeping everything compliant and focused on building trust with homeowners.
How do I measure the ROI of your lead scoring solution?
ROI is straightforward and tied to tangible handyman metrics. Track basics like leads scored high vs. jobs booked (aim for 30-50% conversion uplift), time saved on follow-ups (target 20-40 hours/week), and revenue from prioritized jobs (e.g., $10K/month increase). Our dashboard provides real-time KPIs, such as score-to-close ratio and cost per qualified lead, benchmarked against industry averages—handymen typically see 2-3x ROI in the first quarter. For example, a client measured by comparing pre/post data: leads that once took 5 calls to book now convert in 2, directly adding $8K to quarterly revenue. We include quarterly reviews to refine and quantify wins, ensuring your investment in custom AI pays off in more wrenches turning and fewer empty trucks.
