Discover how Molly Maid achieved a 32% prospect-to-estimate conversion rate and captured 100% of out-of-hours leads using Nuuaa’s bespoke AI Voice Agent.
Standardised the first-call experience across the franchise network 24/7.
Eliminated missed leads during busy periods and outside of office hours.
Captured precise marketing attribution data for Head Office intelligence.
As a premier UK brand delivering 250,000 cleans annually, Molly Maid faced natural friction points as they scaled. Franchise owners struggled with fragmented call handling, missed out-of-hours inquiries, and a lack of centralised marketing attribution data. The strategic goal was to standardise the crucial first customer interaction without losing the brand’s essential human touch.
"Can we rely on a human to handle a customer call perfectly every single time? We can’t. But the Nuuaa AI Voice Agent answers just as brightly at 8:00am as she does at midnight. It provides that critical standardisation and brand professionalism across our entire franchise network."
During the initial three-month pilot, the bespoke AI Voice Agent handled 429 inbound calls, successfully absorbing 10.8 hours of call time. Crucially, the system captured 62 out-of-hours calls, ensuring zero missed opportunities during evenings and weekends.
“For us as a small business, the greatest impact has been the peace of mind that our customers can always reach the Molly Maid office. We know that Julie provides professional support when a member of our team is unavailable.”

The AI agent does not just take messages; it actively qualifies leads and integrates directly into calendars. In the first quarter, the agent identified 69 unique new prospects and successfully booked 22 in-home estimates, achieving a 32% conversion rate that rivals top-performing human franchise owners.
“The data speaks for itself. We are seeing a 28% conversion rate from AI-handled inquiries to paying customers, which is directly comparable to our top-performing human franchise owners. It’s an incredibly impressive return on investment for our network.”

By intelligently filtering out miscellaneous calls and handling basic inquiries, the AI agent allows franchise managers to focus on high-value tasks. This seamless routing ensures existing clients are directed to human staff when necessary, while standardising the top of the sales funnel.
“What’s made the biggest impact for me personally is the time and headspace it’s freed up. If you’re on the fence, my biggest takeaway is simple: it gives you your time back while making sure every opportunity is captured.”
