Missed call automation sends a text the instant you miss a call, so the customer gets an immediate reply instead of voicemail and your competitor's number. For a service business, that one feature plugs the most expensive leak you have: the calls that come in while you're under a sink, on a roof, or asleep. Most people who reach voicemail never leave one and never call back. An instant text catches them before they move on.
We run a cleaning company and an HVAC company, and missed calls used to cost us real jobs. Here's how the automation works, what it costs, where the AI-assistant version goes further, and when you honestly don't need it.
A customer calls and you can't pick up — you're on a job, driving, or it's 11pm.
Within seconds, they get a text: "Sorry we missed you — what do you need and where are you? We'll be right with you."
They reply by text instead of calling the next company. The conversation stays with you.
You get the name, number, and job — and call back when you're free.
Sends one canned message and waits for the customer to carry the conversation. Better than voicemail, but if the customer doesn't reply, the lead still cools. Standalone tools run about $30–$100 a month.
Holds an actual conversation — answers "do you serve my area," "what does this cost," and books a callback. It captures name, phone, job type, and location and hands you a qualified lead. Included in our plans from $249/month, no per-call fee.
We'd rather you skip a tool you won't use. You probably don't need this yet if:
If, on the other hand, you've ever found three missed calls after a job and wondered which became a competitor's customer, this pays for itself the first week.
Our Start Getting Leads plan ($249/month) includes 24/7 AI lead capture — the upgraded version of missed-call automation — alongside your website, hosting, and updates. Grow in Google ($597/month) adds the SEO content engine and lead attribution so you can see which search produced each call. Read the AI receptionist page for the full picture, then home-services website design and SEO for home services for how it all fits.
We don't post stock testimonials. On a 15-minute call we screen-share the real dashboards behind our own businesses — live leads, rankings, and the exact page that produced each one. See the proof →
