If you’ve bought leads from Angi or other aggregators like Modernize, HomeAdvisor, or HomeStars, you know the feeling. The lead comes in, you call it, and either nobody picks up, or the person on the other end already booked someone else, or they “were just looking around,” or they don’t even remember filling out the form.

Most home services networks don’t plan for what happens at scale. They plan for what’s working right now. At 10 contractors, manual lead assignment really does work. A dispatcher knows the team, knows the map, and can make a good call in seconds.
