Understanding hot lead score
Understanding hot lead score
Hot lead scoring helps your team decide which recovered homeowners to work first.
It is a prioritization signal, not a guarantee that the homeowner is ready to book.
What can make a lead hotter
Signals may include:
- High-intent page visited.
- Repeat visits.
- Time on site.
- Service-area fit.
- Replacement, quote, emergency, or financing pageviews.
- Available contact details.
- Recent activity.
What can make a lead colder
Signals may be lower when:
- The visit was only to a blog post.
- The visitor is outside service area.
- Contact details are incomplete.
- The page path is low intent.
- The visitor appears to be an employee, vendor, or competitor.
How to use the score
Use the score to decide:
- Call now.
- Send to CSR queue.
- Send email.
- Send postcard.
- Route to manual review.
- Archive or suppress.
Do not rely only on score
Always check the page visited and service-area fit before calling.
A lower-score lead can still turn into booked work if the page context is strong.
