How many more jobs could automation win you?
Roughly how many more leads a month, and how much more revenue, could instant text-back and steady follow-up add for your business? Start with your trade, then use your own numbers.
Homeowners don't pick the best shop. They pick the first one that answers.
You already know the moment: the call comes in while you're halfway up a ladder, and by the time you call back, they've booked the other shop. The research says that moment happens constantly — and it compounds.
Few reply within the hour
Only 20% of home-service owners reply to new leads within an hour, though they estimate more than half of their customers expect it.

How to read this
These are rough estimates, not a promise. The result moves entirely on the numbers you enter and the recovery-rate slider you set. Industry selections only pre-fill starting points, they are not SeenOnMain's measured results. On response speed, Jobber's 2026 survey of 1,050 home-service owners found only 20% reply to new leads within an hour, and Leadferno's 2024 form study found 71.3% of businesses that replied used only one channel. SeenOnMain's own 2026 audit of 1,965 home service websites found only 18% could text a lead back at all.
Frequently asked questions
How does the automation ROI calculator work?
It's plain arithmetic on the numbers you enter. It takes the leads you say you currently miss or never follow up each month, applies an estimated recovery rate for what instant text-back and repeated follow-up typically bring back, then multiplies by your close rate and your average job value. Nothing is guaranteed and there is no hidden industry multiplier beyond the recovery-rate slider you control.
Where do the industry numbers come from?
Choosing an industry only pre-fills starting points for average job value and the share of leads that go unanswered or un-followed-up, so the form isn't empty. They are typical ballpark figures, not SeenOnMain's own measured results, and you should change every field to match your business.
Is the recovered-lead estimate a promise?
No. The recovery-rate slider is an assumption about how many otherwise-lost leads faster response and consistent follow-up bring back. It is capped well below 100% on purpose. Your real result depends on your call volume, how fast and how often you follow up, and how well you close.
