Lead Qualification & Scoring for Deck Builders

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. You define qualification rules — project type, material preference (Trex Transcend, TimberTech AZEK, pressure-treated), timeline, and budget range. The AI asks these questions on every channel and scores leads against your thresholds. High-score leads book directly; lower-score leads enter nurture with relevant content.","question":"Can the system distinguish between a $700 staining inquiry and a $50,000 multi-level composite build?"},{"answer":"The AI uses your approved FAQ scripts. You provide the answers for technical questions — material specs, code requirements, design options like cable railing or picture-frame borders. Complex technical questions route to your team via call transfer or scheduled callback. The AI captures the inquiry details so you're prepared.","question":"Does the AI know deck-specific terminology like joist hangers, lag bolts, and board takeoffs?"},{"answer":"Yes. Shared lead contacts (email, phone) from Angi, Thumbtack, Houzz Pro, or any source connect to the same response system. The AI responds instantly with your qualification questions, scoring them before you invest estimating time. You still pay the platform for the lead, but you only spend hours on qualified opportunities.","question":"Can CallMyLeads work with shared lead platforms like Thumbtack and Houzz Pro?"},{"answer":"One 15-minute scoping call defines your rules and sources. Setup is done-for-you — typically live within 3-5 business days. Website forms, ad platforms, phone forwarding, chat widget, and CRM/calendar integration all configured by our team. No technical work required on your end.","question":"How long until our website forms, Google Ads, and phone line are all connected?"},{"answer":"Equivalent human coverage (24/7/365) would take at least two full-time hires. Managed plan at 14¢/min + $149/mo costs a fraction of one salary. You only pay for minutes actually handling leads — spam screened free. No seats, no contracts, cancel anytime. Quarterly reviews on Bulk plans optimize performance.","question":"Is per-minute billing cheaper than paying someone to call deck leads all day?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect your lead sources in one 15-minute call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Website forms, Google Ads, Facebook leads, phone lines, chat widget, referral partners — all joined to one response system.
