AI & Lead Gen for Service Based Contractors

Any service based or fence contractor businesses interested in helping each other in AI and Lead generation

I have created some really helpful Automation and AI tools that I use every day that have helped my business out tremendously. Like:

  • AI Answering phone calls, determining call intent, and then sending me an email right when call ends.  No missed calls. 
  • Scrape google businesses in any zipcodes based on search terms (great for marketing B2B)
  • Find emails from list of websites
  • Automated Wordpress Blog Posts based on keywords 
  • Mass Email sender (so it looks like it comes from you personally). 

The only non free ai tool is the AI Answering assistant, but it is super cheap. 

What I am currently struggling with is getting consistent lead flow. I'm only doing Google ads, but wanted to see what other ways are working for you to generate leads. 

Would be happy to discuss the above with anyone that currently owns/ operates a service based business.

    Good topic. I've been down a rabbit hole on this stuff lately. The Google Maps scraping is what got me. Being able to pull businesses by zip code, grab their emails and reach out without it looking like a mass blast is something I could actually use. The auto blog posting is a nice touch too, keeps your site from going stale.

    The AI call answering though I'm not sold on. Every time I get an AI on the phone I hang up. Can't imagine my customers feel any different. Has anyone here actually messed around with any of this yet?

      The AI answering bot is really great because:

      Out of 20 calls,  2-3 are actually people wanting estimates. 

      I built a workflow where if someone starts the call " Hello, I am looking to get an estimate on a fence" or similar, it will send me an email with the caller details. Even if they hang up after they realize it's ai, I will personally call them as soon as I can. 

      I built a pretty good workflow where the AI basically knows what the call is regarding  then sending me an email with a summary of the call.
