Industry Research

Industries we
build for

One truth holds across every vertical: the lead that gets answered first wins. Here's the research.

The five verticals

One truth holds. Speed to lead wins.

01

HVAC

HVAC runs on phone calls. A homeowner with a 14°F furnace failure doesn't fill out a contact form; they dial, and if the first three contractors don't answer, they keep dialing. Speed of pickup decides whose truck rolls out.

27%
of inbound calls to home-services businesses go unanswered, with each missed call modeled at ~$1,200 in lost revenue.

more likely to qualify a lead when responding within 5 minutes vs. waiting 30 minutes.
Harvard Business Review, Oldroyd et al., "The Short Life of Online Sales Leads"

What we build: an AI voice agent that answers within one ring, qualifies the job, and books the technician before the next number gets dialed. See how the underlying AI voice and CRM-integration stack fits together →

02

Solar

Solar economics shifted overnight. With the Section 25D ITC expiring, every qualified homeowner is dramatically more expensive to acquire, and trust in the industry is at its lowest point since the residential boom began. Whoever responds fastest, follows up consistently, and feels human at every touchpoint wins 2026.

What we build: AI agents that qualify on roof orientation, utility bill, and ownership in 90 seconds, route to a quote with installer photo and credentials, and follow up at the intervals proven to close the trust gap. See the three-step process we use to keep every qualified lead warm →

03

Real Estate

Real estate runs on first contact. The agent who replies first to a Zillow inquiry, an open-house request, or a listing-page form usually wins the relationship. The catch: the average agent's first response to a web lead is over 15 hours, while 81% of recent sellers only ever contacted one agent.

04

Pest Control

Pest control is in a growth window. The industry posted near-8% growth in 2024, residential demand is structurally up, and seasonal call spikes reward operators who can scale phone capacity instantly. The ones drowning in voicemails watch competitors take their service area.

05

Medical

Medical and dental practices have two parallel revenue problems: an active patient base where no-shows are getting worse despite automated reminders, and a reactivation pool bigger than most owners realize. Both are solvable with the same intervention: outreach that feels conversational, persistent, and human.

What we build: HIPAA-aware AI agents that confirm appointments, reschedule no-shows on the spot, and reactivate lapsed patients in conversational follow-up sequences, handing off only when a human is actually needed. Read our AI-specific data and processing disclosures →

Common questions

Coverage, sourcing, and how each agent is built.

  • These five verticals are where the research runs deepest, not the limit of who I work with. Any service business that runs on inbound calls or web leads benefits from the same speed-to-lead fix, and web design has no vertical limit at all. Bring your industry to the call and we map it.

  • Every figure links to its primary source: Harvard Business Review, the National Association of Realtors, Wood Mackenzie, Invoca, the MGMA, and the CDC, among others. None of it is a bemo estimate. The research is cited so you can verify each claim before deciding whether the pattern fits your business.

  • The agent is configured around what your industry actually closes on. An HVAC agent qualifies on the emergency and the equipment; a real-estate agent qualifies on price and timeline; a medical agent handles confirmations and reactivation. The qualifying script, integrations, and handoff rules are all built to match how your business runs.
