Common questions
Is this calculator actually accurate?
Yes. We use a 25% inquiry-to-job conversion rate—industry standard for home services. Your rate might be higher or lower, but this is a conservative baseline most lawn care businesses recognize.
Why do I miss so many calls?
You're on the mower, in a truck, at a property, meeting customers, or running your business. Missing calls isn't your fault—it's inevitable. But 75% of those callers won't try again. They're already calling the next company.
What does Tinylawn cost?
Plans start at $49/month. This calculator estimates revenue at risk from missed calls—it does not compare that number to a specific plan. See current plans and call allowances on the pricing page.
But I call people back eventually, doesn't that count?
No, because timing is everything. 80% of callers who reach voicemail move on to the next company within 5 minutes. Even if you call back in an hour, they've already booked someone else. The job goes to whoever answers first.
What if I only capture half these results?
The calculator estimates revenue at risk, not a guaranteed recovery. If it shows $20,000 at risk and you recover half of that, that is still $10,000 in jobs that would have gone to voicemail. Actual results vary.
Can AI really handle my calls as well as a person?
Tinylawn answers around the clock, follows your business guidance, and asks useful questions as each request unfolds. It can capture appointment requests, keep a transcript and structured details, and automatically add property size and satellite imagery when a lead includes a valid address.
How fast can I start?
About 5 minutes. The free trial ends after 14 days, with no credit card. Forward your number, customize your greeting, and test the call flow.
I only need help during busy season. Is this worth it year-round?
Yes, for two reasons. First, you still miss calls in slow season—those might be your best customers needing spring prep or one-time high-value jobs. Second, the calculator shows annual revenue at risk. If most of your missed calls happen in six busy months, use those months as your baseline—the loss still adds up fast.
How does this compare to hiring someone?
A part-time receptionist can run $18,000/year, works limited hours, needs training, and takes time off. Tinylawn answers around the clock, follows the business guidance you set, and records every conversation. Compare that with the revenue this calculator shows at risk from missed calls—then look at current plans on the pricing page.
