Lead generation is the lifeblood of home services businesses—but it’s anything but simple. Missed calls cost the average HVAC company $12,000/month in lost opportunities. Poor lead tracking leaves 34% of plumbing leads unresponsive. Manual follow-up processes drop conversion rates by 62%.

This is where automation changes the game...
