The "Lead Overload" Problem
Wasting time on seasonal inquiries for spring mulching or fall leaf removal that fizzle out mid-summer due to client indecision

Ignoring referral patterns in neighborhood landscaping networks
Struggling to prioritize high-margin hardscaping leads like retaining walls over basic mowing and edging requests
Dealing with flaky leads for perennial planting or sod installation during peak spring season, leading to unfulfilled crew capacity

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Lead Pipeline
Higher Close Rates on Premium Projects
Higher Close Rates on Premium Projects: Focus on leads likely to book full-yard transformations, not just quick trims.

Streamlined Crew Scheduling
Streamlined Crew Scheduling: No more double-booking low-intent jobs like routine weed control. Predictive scoring flags urgent, high-budget opportunities such as irrigation system installs first, reducing scheduling conflicts by 25% within the first season and ensuring your teams tackle revenue-driving tasks over basic lawn care.
Deeper Client Relationships
Deeper Client Relationships: Score leads by relationship potential, prioritizing repeat business from neighborhood referrals in community-focused areas. This builds loyalty in your client-focused industry, increasing lifetime value by 40% through targeted follow-ups on scored prospects, such as seasonal maintenance contracts.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried under spring leads for basic shrub planting that went nowhere—half our quotes for edging and mulching never even got responses. Their custom scoring system now flags the serious ones based on our past jobs in similar neighborhoods, and we've cut follow-up time in half while landing three major hardscaping contracts for patios and walkways in the last quarter alone."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, GreenScape Pros Landscaping
"As a small crew in suburban areas, we couldn't afford to chase every inquiry about lawn aeration or overseeding. The AI they built scores leads by estimated budget and urgency, integrating right into our field scheduling app. Last season during peak growth months, it helped us prioritize 15 high-value jobs like full irrigation setups, boosting our revenue by 28% without adding staff."
Sarah Thompson
Owner, Evergreen Landscaping Services
"Generic tools didn't get our referral-heavy business in tight-knit communities—most leads come from satisfied neighbors recommending our tree work. AIQ's solution analyzes those patterns and scores accordingly for projects like retaining walls. In six months, we've seen a 40% drop in wasted bids on low-end trimming and more steady work through better prioritization of premium installs."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring handle seasonal fluctuations in landscaping leads?
Landscaping is all about timing—spring surges and winter lulls. Our custom AI model incorporates historical seasonality from your data, adjusting scores dynamically. For instance, it prioritizes urgent sod installation leads in May while de-emphasizing routine mowing in off-seasons. We've seen clients achieve 25% better resource allocation this way, ensuring crews aren't idle during peaks. The system learns from your past bookings, factoring in weather APIs for rain-delayed projects, making it truly adaptive to your regional climate and demand cycles. No more generic calendars; it's built around your business rhythm.
What data do you need to build an accurate scoring system for my landscaping company?
We start with what you already have: past lead details from your CRM, like inquiry types (e.g., patio designs vs. weed control), client budgets, conversion outcomes, and even crew notes on site visits. No need for massive datasets—our models train effectively on 6-12 months of your records. We also integrate external factors like property records or referral sources if available. For a typical landscaper, this means scoring accuracy hits 80-90% within weeks, focusing on high-value traits like yard size over vague 'interested in services' flags. It's all anonymized and secure, respecting client relationships.
Can this integrate with my existing scheduling software like Jobber?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations that go beyond basic syncs. For Jobber users, our system pulls lead data in real-time, scores it based on your custom criteria—like prioritizing leads near current job sites—and pushes scores back as tags or priorities. This means your estimators see high-potential hardscaping jobs flagged instantly, reducing manual reviews by 40%. We've done this for dozens of home services firms, ensuring no data silos. If you're on another tool like Housecall Pro, we adapt accordingly—it's custom-built to fit your workflow without disrupting daily operations.
How much does a custom lead scoring solution cost for a small landscaping business?
Costs vary by complexity, but for a small operation with 10-50 leads monthly, expect $15,000-$25,000 for full build and integration, with optional maintenance at $500/month. This replaces multiple subscriptions and delivers ROI through 30%+ time savings on follow-ups. Unlike off-the-shelf tools charging per lead, ours is a one-time investment in ownership—no recurring fees eating into your margins during slow seasons. We've helped landscapers recoup costs in 4-6 months via higher close rates on premium projects. A free consultation lets us scope your exact needs for a precise quote.
What if my lead sources change, like adding more online ads?
Flexibility is core to our approach. If you ramp up Google Ads for local lawn care or shift to social media for landscape design leads, we retrain the model with minimal downtime—often in days. It incorporates new data points, like ad click behavior or geotargeted inquiries, to refine scores without starting over. For example, one client added Facebook leads for fall cleanups, and we adjusted weights for urgency, boosting their qualified pipeline by 22%. Your system grows with you, ensuring it always aligns with evolving marketing tactics in the competitive home services space.
Is the scoring system secure for handling client information in landscaping?
Security is non-negotiable in client-relationship industries like yours. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, especially for sensitive details like property addresses or budget info. Data stays on your secure servers, with access controls tailored to your team—estimators see scores, not full profiles unless needed. We've audited systems for landscapers dealing with high-net-worth clients, preventing breaches that could damage referrals. Regular updates keep it robust against threats, giving you peace of mind while focusing on building those lasting yard relationships.
