Home Services Intake FAQ
Does Meridian provide price quotes?
No. Meridian handles intake facts and project fit. All pricing, estimates, and formal quotes remain with the estimator and dispatch team.
How are poor-fit calls filtered?
Meridian qualifies geography and project type immediately. If an inquiry is outside the service area, it is politely declined, protecting estimator time.
Does Meridian replace dispatch?
No. Meridian provides dispatch support. It recovers after-hours demand so the dispatcher can focus on routing crews rather than playing phone tag.
How are emergencies handled?
If an inquiry mentions a safety risk or immediate flood, Meridian can provide approved emergency instructions or immediate escalation to your on-call team.
Measure estimator-time protection.
Premium home service firms often measure lead volume, but rarely measure the cost of dispatch and estimator tag. When poor-fit leads hit your team, estimator time is lost to projects that never had a chance of closing.

Monthly pipeline exposure
40 recovered inquiries per month × $1,500 avg. job value × 20% close rate = $12,000 monthly exposure. Beyond recovery, filtering out poor-fit leads saves 10 hours of estimator time per month.
