Lead Qualification & Scoring for Stump Grinding Services

{"faqs":[{"answer":"You define the qualification criteria during setup — stump count, hardwood vs softwood species, property access for towable or walk-behind grinders, budget range, and timeline. The AI asks these exact questions via text or call, scores each lead, and only routes qualified prospects to your team or books them directly on your calendar.","question":"How does the AI qualify stump grinding leads without me on the phone?"},{"answer":"Yes. Inbound calls are answered 24/7/365 including nights, weekends, and holidays. Emergency leads get an instant response, are qualified on urgency and access, and can be routed to your on-call number or booked for the earliest available slot with confirmations and reminders.","question":"Can it handle after-hours emergency stump removal requests?"},{"answer":"All lead sources connect — website forms, ad platforms, referral partners, phone lines, and chat.
