Operations Engine
Lead Response Engine
Every inbound lead gets a fast, professional response that qualifies and pushes toward a booking. No missed calls sitting in voicemail. No leads going cold overnight.
Starts at $2,000 setup / $600 per month operated by Momentiv
The Problem
The Gap
A lead calls, fills out a form, or sends a message. Nobody responds for two hours. By the time someone gets back to them, they’ve already booked with the contractor who answered first. This happens every day in home services businesses that are spending real money to generate leads they never convert. The phones work. The ads work. The response system doesn’t exist.
The Math
What Slow Response Costs
of customers buy from the first business to respond
When a homeowner needs a repair, they call down the list. The contractor who picks up first wins the job. Not the cheapest. Not the best reviewed. The first one who answers.

of callers who reach voicemail won’t call back
They don’t leave a message. They don’t try again later. They call the next contractor in their search results. Every missed call is a closed door, not an open opportunity.

average revenue lost per missed call in home services
Factor in close rates and average job values across trades and each unanswered call costs roughly $1,200. A business missing just 5 calls per week is losing $25,000+ per month.

Instant auto-replies across web forms, chat, and third-party lead sources
Qualification flow covering service type, zip code, urgency, and preferred timeframe
Multi-touch follow-up sequence until the lead books or opts out
CRM or field service management pipeline routing with clean stage tracking
Reporting dashboard tracking leads captured, response time, and booked outcomes
Requirements
Required Inputs and Fit
What we need from you
Access to all current lead intake channels (phone system, web forms, chat widget, any third-party lead sources)
CRM or field service management login credentials
Service list with pricing guidance for qualification questions
Service area definition (zip codes or radius)
Preferred booking method and scheduling rules
Business hours and after-hours expectations
Who this is for
Built for owner-led home services businesses running 15+ inbound leads per week where response time is inconsistent and leads are slipping through before anyone follows up. If your team is in the field and calls are rolling to voicemail during business hours, this is the engine that fixes it.
Implementation
Implementation and Ongoing Operations
This engine is available in two tiers based on your lead volume and operational complexity. Both tiers begin with a custom Launch Sprint and transition immediately into a monthly operations retainer.
The Automation Build
This is a deterministic, rule-based system. It connects your existing tools, triggers instantly when a specific action happens, and delivers the exact, approved message to your prospect. Built for businesses that need speed and consistency without dynamic conversations.

The AI Agent Build
This is an intelligent, dynamic system. It does not just send a static text. The agent reads the context of the prospect’s reply, answers basic qualifying questions, handles objections, and actively pushes to book the appointment directly onto your calendar. Built for businesses with high lead volume that need to automate the actual conversation.

The Management Retainer
Systems break when they are abandoned. Your setup fee covers the custom build. From there, this engine is maintained through a monthly operations retainer. We handle the optimization, the reporting, and the technical oversight so you can focus on running your crews. All engine installations begin with a 90-day initial commitment to ensure baseline stability.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Missed-call text-backs fire within seconds. Web form and chat auto-replies are instant. The AI Agent version responds conversationally within two minutes, 24/7.
Yes. We integrate directly with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, and the GoHighLevel ecosystem. If you’re running a different platform, we’ll confirm compatibility during the strategy call.
The Automation version sends pre-written messages triggered by specific events. It’s fast and consistent but static. The AI Agent version reads context, answers questions, handles objections, and books appointments through a real conversation. The right choice depends on your lead volume and how complex your qualification process is.
We shift to a monthly operations retainer. We manage and optimize the system so it keeps performing without adding work to your plate.
Usually not. We build on top of your existing infrastructure. If something needs to change, we’ll flag it during the Launch Sprint before any work begins.
They get the same instant response as a lead that comes in at 10am on a Tuesday. The Automation version sends your approved qualification message immediately. The AI Agent version runs the full conversation, qualifies the lead, and books them into your next available window. No more Monday morning voicemail pileups.
That’s exactly when it matters most. Peak season is when call volume spikes and your crew is in the field all day. This engine covers every missed call and form submission automatically, so leads convert even when nobody on your team is available to pick up. You stop losing the leads you’re paying the most to generate.
Yes. The qualification flow is configured during setup to flag emergencies based on criteria you define (water damage, no heat in winter, gas leak, etc.) and route them differently. Emergency leads can trigger immediate owner notifications, priority callbacks, or direct transfers depending on how your business handles urgent work.
