Direct answer
A qualified home-services call is a real consumer, calling from a covered ZIP code during campaign hours, expressing genuine intent for the advertised category, and meeting the buyer's specific qualification rules — often duration, service type, and property qualification. The exact bar varies by category and buyer.
Common qualification signals
Category match, ZIP match, service intent, minimum call duration, homeowner or decision-maker status, and non-duplicate status.
Common disqualifiers
Wrong number, coached caller, out-of-area, out-of-hours, non-service intent, or previously-submitted duplicate.
FAQs
