Speed-to-Lead Response for Bed Bug Extermination Companies

{"faqs":[{"answer":"You set the qualification questions during setup — things like bite patterns in lines or clusters, blood spots on sheets, live bug sightings, or recent travel. The AI asks these exact questions and scores the lead. Only qualified leads book on your calendar; others get nurtured or routed per your rules.","question":"How does the AI know if a caller actually has bed bugs vs. fleas or carpet beetles?"},{"answer":"Yes. The system answers unlimited simultaneous calls 24/7/365 with no busy signals or hold times. Equivalent human coverage would require at least two full-time hires; our per-minute billing means you only pay for actual lead-handling time — even during peak spikes.","question":"Can it handle the spring surge when 43% of our annual calls hit in 3 months?"},{"answer":"The AI follows your approved scripts only. It can share prep checklists (laundry, decluttering, pet removal) and confirm the customer understands requirements before booking. It never gives treatment advice or diagnosis — just collects info and books qualified appointments.","question":"We use thermal remediation — can the AI explain heat treatment prep requirements?"},{"answer":"A ~15-minute scoping call settles the plan and setup fee (waived on annual). We connect your lead sources, configure your qualification rules and booking calendar, and go live — typically within a few business days. No contract; cancel anytime.","question":"How fast can we get this running before spring season hits?"},{"answer":"A seasonal dispatcher costs $3,000–$5,000/month plus benefits and training. Our Managed plan is 14¢/min + $149/mo — you only pay for minutes actually handling leads. Screened spam and robocalls are never billed. Most bed bug companies spend far less than one hire.","question":"What's the cost compared to hiring a seasonal dispatcher for spring?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Lead Sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Join website forms, Google Ads, phone lines, web chat, and referral sources to one response system in a ~15-minute scoping call."},{"step":"2","title":"Set Your Response Rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"Define first messages, qualification questions (signs of bed bugs, infestation level, property type), what counts as qualified, and when to route to your team."},{"step":"3","title":"Leads Get Instant Response & Book","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"Every lead gets a reply in seconds.
