Local business AI automation case study - lead capture and follow-up that cut cost per lead 48%

The challenge

A local service business was paying for leads that went cold overnight. Follow-up was manual, inconsistent and expensive.

AI Automation · Lead Capture · N8N · CRM

The approach

Built AI-assisted capture and follow-up across web and messaging channels, with routing rules so humans only handled ready-to-book conversations.

How it was done

  1. Map every lead source. Website forms, calls and messaging channels were mapped so no enquiry could slip through unnoticed.
  2. AI-assisted capture. AI assistants answered first questions instantly, day or night, and collected the details needed to quote.
  3. Routing and human handoff. Routing rules in N8N sent only ready-to-book conversations to the team, with full context attached.
  4. CRM and reporting. Every lead landed in the CRM with its source, so cost per lead could be tracked and improved each month.

The results

  • −48% cost per lead
  • Faster first response on every inquiry
  • Hours of admin removed every week
