Local service businesses lose jobs when they miss customer calls because they lack an efficient system to capture and respond to leads in real-time.

Existing solutions like voicemail and contact forms are passive and slow, and answering services can be expensive or impersonal; no solution seamlessly captures intent and provides instant, context-rich follow-up.

App Concept

LeadCapture AI

LeadCapture AI is an intelligent call-answering and lead-retrieval system for small service businesses. When a call is missed, it instantly sends an automated SMS with a link to a quick inquiry form, capturing the customer's needs and contact info. The owner gets a prioritized lead with context (service type, urgency, address) before calling back, ensuring no job slips away.

Key Features

Missed call triggers auto-text with customizable inquiry link
Lead capture form pre-fills phone number and asks service needed, urgency, and address
Web dashboard shows all missed calls with lead details and timestamps
Auto-reminders to call back if not responded within 15 minutes

Target Users: Owners and operators of small local service businesses (e.g., plumbers, landscapers, cleaners) with 1-10 employees who frequently miss calls while on jobs.

Revenue Model: Freemium (5 free missed-call responses/month) then $29/mo for up to 100 responses, $79/mo for unlimited plus priority support.
