You can't answer. It answers for you.
The call comes in while your hands are full and you cannot get to it. Ten seconds later that person has a text from your number asking how you can help. They stop working down the list.
Why this is the piece that pays for itself.
A missed call is a job you never knew you lost
No voicemail, no record, no name. The customer just calls the next guy and you carry on with your day none the wiser. This is the only part of the system that fixes a problem you can't currently see.
Texting beats voicemail
Most people won't leave a voicemail and won't listen to one either. They will answer a text. Moving the conversation to a channel people actually use is most of the win.
It buys you time to be a tradesman
You don't have to break off what you're doing to answer. The conversation holds itself until you're off the ladder and can look at your phone properly.
What working with me looks like.
We talk
I ask what you do, where you work, and what happens when you miss a call. You ask me anything. If it's not a fit I'll say so.
You send me a short form
Your services, your towns, your hours, some photos of your work. Then I build the site and set the system up. You do nothing.
We go live
I walk you round it, show you where the leads land, and you call your own number so you see what a customer sees. That's it.
The things people actually ask.
Does it use my real number?
It sends from your business line, so it looks like you, because it is you. You can read every conversation and jump in any time.
Do I have to reply to every text myself?
The first text goes out automatically. After that it's a normal text thread from your business number and you reply when you're off the ladder. If you'd rather have something that answers the phone and books the job for you, that's the AI voice agent add-on.
Is there paperwork for this?
There is, and I handle it. US carriers make every business register before it can send automatic texts. It's called A2P 10DLC and it's a federal requirement, not my rule. I file yours the day you sign so it's approved by the time your site goes live. It takes about a week and it's the one part of this I can't speed up.
