The first company to respond wins the job. Leads contacted within 5 minutes are 10x more likely to convert. After 30 minutes, conversion drops 80%+. Speed to Lead responds to web, SMS, and ad-generated leads in under 60 seconds — 24/7.
How It Works
Lead comes in
A homeowner fills out a web form, sends an SMS, messages you through Google LSA, Thumbtack, or Yelp, or submits through Meta. Craft picks it up instantly.
AI responds in under 60 seconds
The AI engages the lead via their preferred channel — text, web chat, or phone — with a personalized response using your company name and services.
Lead is qualified
AI asks the right questions: service needed, location, timeline, budget range. Unqualified leads are filtered out before they reach your team.
Appointment booked
Qualified leads are booked directly into your CRM. Your team sees the booking and lead details in the morning — or gets notified in real time.
Channels
Craft connects to the marketplaces and lead sources home services companies already use. The marketplace channels are native, one-time connections — sign in once and new leads flow straight into your messaging inbox.
- Web chat — AI engages website visitors, qualifies them, and books appointments
- SMS — instant text response to leads who prefer texting
- Email — AI responds to inbound email leads
- Google LSA — instant follow-up on Local Services Ads before competitors respond. See Google LSA setup.
- Thumbtack — auto-respond to Thumbtack leads and messages the moment a customer reaches out. See Thumbtack setup.
- Yelp — auto-respond to Yelp leads and messages from your Yelp business page. See Yelp setup.

Why It Matters
Most home services companies take 30+ minutes to respond to web leads. Many take hours. By then, the homeowner has already called someone else.
Speed to Lead closes that gap — every lead gets a response in under 60 seconds, day or night, weekday or weekend.
Speed to Lead setup is handled during onboarding with your Craft account manager. Contact support@craftflow.com to get started.
