Convert the 11 PM emergency call — before voicemail loses it.
Turn every visit into a captured lead with AI Receptionist, multi-channel intake, and conversion-tuned funnels — tuned specifically for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, landscaping, pest control.
The vertical-specific reason most home services businesss plateau on search.
Generic conversion firms apply the same chatbot + form playbook everywhere. But conversion is industry-specific: home-services needs 24/7 voice intake, healthcare needs HIPAA-clean booking, legal needs conflict-checking, restaurants need reservation integration. Much of home-services inbound is after-hours. Generic chatbots don’t handle voice calls. AI Receptionist does — and books the appointment before the next competitor picks up.
Most inbound calls happen outside business hours; customers call the first highly-rated business with appointments today. Decision window: a rapid window for emergency repairs, or a few days for planned work. Primary metric that matters: booked appointments per channel, response time, % calls answered within 30 seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How does Convert capture after-hours emergency calls for home services?
Convert uses a 24/7 AI receptionist that answers calls, web chat, SMS, and social DMs the moment they come in, so an 11 PM no-hot-water or burst-pipe call is handled instead of going to voicemail. The system gathers the caller’s details, triages whether it’s an emergency or a routine request, and books the appointment, so the lead is captured and scheduled before the customer moves on to the next company on their list.
Will Convert work for my specific trade, like HVAC, plumbing, roofing, or pest control?
Yes. Convert is built around per-trade intake flows, so the questions a caller is asked and how the lead is routed match the trade you run. A plumbing emergency, a roof-leak inspection, a seasonal HVAC tune-up, and a pest treatment each need different information up front, and the intake is configured to collect the right details and route the job accordingly rather than using one generic script for every call.
Does Convert connect to the CRM and dispatch software I already use?
Yes. Convert is designed to be CRM-connected, so booked appointments flow into your existing dispatch and scheduling system instead of forcing your team to re-key leads into a separate tool. The captured lead, including call details, lands where your office and field crews already work, which keeps your current workflow intact while closing the gap on missed inquiries.
How is Convert different from a generic chatbot or answering service?
Convert combines voice, web chat, SMS, and social DMs in one intake layer with trade-specific triage and direct booking, rather than just taking a message or answering FAQs. The difference for home services is that it distinguishes a true emergency from a scheduled request, captures the information your dispatcher actually needs, and books the job into your CRM, so a high-intent caller becomes a confirmed appointment instead of a callback you have to chase the next morning.
Does Convert help me get reviews after a job is finished?
Yes. Convert includes review automation that prompts customers to leave feedback after the job is completed, so your follow-up isn’t dependent on a technician remembering to ask. For home services, a steady flow of recent reviews matters because homeowners comparing companies often choose the business with strong, current ratings and immediate availability, so capturing the review while the experience is fresh strengthens how you show up against local competitors.
What does getting started with Convert look like for a home services business?
Getting started begins with mapping your trade’s intake needs, your service area, and how leads should route into your existing CRM and dispatch, then configuring the AI receptionist and booking flows around that. Frostbite works with home services businesses of every size, from a single-truck operation to a multi-location company, and you can request a quote to scope what fit looks like for your shop. There is no public pricing because the right setup depends on your trades, call volume, and the systems you already run.
