Research reports coming soon
The platform is currently in pre-launch. Each topic below will publish as a full research brief with primary sources, methodology, and actionable takeaways for operators.
How much revenue the average home service business loses to missed calls
The average home service business misses a meaningful share of inbound calls — and most callers hang up without leaving a voicemail. We'll show the exact percentage and what it costs per month by fleet size.
Why the first minute matters more than the next thirty
Leads contacted within a minute of submitting a request convert dramatically higher than leads contacted within 30 minutes. The drop-off curve is steeper than most operators realize.
Why SMS beats email for confirmations, reminders, and ETAs
Text messages are read within minutes. Email takes hours — sometimes days. The gap matters most for time-sensitive junk removal communication like arrival windows and booking confirmations.
The revenue lift per star on Google for local service businesses
A one-star increase in Google rating produces measurable revenue lift for local businesses. We'll break down the research by business size, category, and review count.
Why self-booking converts higher than contact forms
Customers who can self-book online — with real pricing, a time slot, and an instant confirmation — convert at a meaningfully higher rate than customers forced to fill out a contact form and wait.
The hours-per-week saved by running one platform instead of five
Operators on a single consolidated platform save hours per week compared to juggling a dispatch board, a CRM, an invoicing tool, a phone service, and a website vendor.
