Austin, TX, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LeadTruffle, an AI speed-to-lead and unified inbox platform built for U.S. home service businesses, today announced platform data highlighting the need for faster lead response across website leads, missed calls, AI-answered phone inquiries, and third-party lead sources.
LeadTruffle data shows that 42% of leads arrived after hours or on weekends, highlighting the need for faster, always-on lead response for home service businesses.
From January 1, 2025 through March 30, 2026, LeadTruffle processed more than 59,000 leads across hundreds of businesses on the platform. Among leads with trackable outbound follow-up events, the company recorded a median first response time of 5 seconds, with about 97% of measured responses sent in under 30 seconds.
The company says the data reflects a common problem in home services: leads arrive across too many channels, and many arrive outside normal office hours. In the same dataset, about 42% of inbound leads arrived after hours or on weekends.
“Most home service businesses are not losing jobs because demand disappeared. They’re losing them because leads come in across multiple channels, often after hours, and nobody follows up fast enough,” said Bryan Shankman, CEO of LeadTruffle. “We built LeadTruffle to help contractors respond in seconds, qualify leads automatically, and keep the whole conversation in one system.”
LeadTruffle supports workflows across website texting, missed-call text back, AI call answering, Google LSA, Angi, Thumbtack, Yelp, email, and downstream CRM workflows. The platform also supports APIs, webhooks, and handoff workflows for teams that want to connect lead response to their broader operating stack.
For home service businesses, the company’s pitch is simple: faster response, one inbox, better qualification, and fewer missed revenue opportunities. Learn more at http://www.leadtruffle.co.
