The Problem Every Home Service Business Faces

πŸ“ž

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.

πŸ€–

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.

πŸ“±

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.
