Why LeadTruffle?
We exist to solve one critical problem: Home service businesses losing leads to slow response times and missed calls.
While your competitors take hours or days to respond, LeadTruffle captures and qualifies leads in seconds. 24/7. Automatically. Without you lifting a finger.
The Problem Every Home Service Business Faces
Missed Calls = Lost Revenue
You're in the field, on another call, or it's after hours. Meanwhile, potential customers are calling competitors who answer immediately.
Slow Response Times Kill Conversions
By the time you call back hours later, your prospects have already found someone else. Speed wins in home services.
Unqualified Leads Waste Time
You spend hours chasing tire kickers and unqualified prospects instead of focusing on real opportunities that close.
Our Solution: AI That Works 24/7 So You Don't Have To
LeadTruffle is the only AI platform built specifically for home service businesses. We capture, qualify, and deliver hot leads automatically - even when you're sleeping.
AI Website Widget That Actually Converts
Not another generic chatbot. Our AI widget is trained specifically for home services and asks the right qualifying questions:
- "What type of service do you need?"
- "Is this an emergency situation?"
- "Are you the homeowner?"
- "What's your preferred timeline?"
Result: Only qualified, ready-to-buy prospects reach your team. No more tire kickers.
Instant Speed-to-Lead Response
Zero wait time. Every time. While competitors make customers wait hours for callbacks, our AI responds in seconds:
- Instant acknowledgment of their request
- Immediate qualification questions
- Real-time appointment booking
- Immediate team notifications for hot leads
Result: You win customers before competitors even know they called.
Missed Call Text-Back System
Never lose another lead to a missed call. Our system automatically texts every missed caller within seconds:
- "Hi! I see you called about [service]. What's going on?"
- Conversational qualification via text
- Photo requests for problem assessment
- Instant appointment booking via text
Result: 95% of missed calls turn into qualified conversations instead of lost opportunities.
