How it works

From missed calls to booked jobs in about a week.

Here's exactly what happens, what we need from you, and what your customers see. About an hour of your time, total.

The short version

Three steps.

  1. 1

    Checkup

    A 45-minute look at how your calls, quotes and reviews are handled today. You get a one-page plan with your top 3 fixes.

    $250 · plan within 3 business days
  2. 2

    Setup

    We build missed-call text-back in your own accounts, write the messages in your voice, and test it with you.

    5–7 business days (Bundle: 2–3 weeks)
  3. 3

    It runs

    Every missed call gets a text in seconds. You get an alert with who called and what they need. We watch it and send a monthly report.

Step 1

The $250 Missed-Call Checkup

Find out where calls and quotes slip before you spend more. If it doesn't make sense for your shop, we'll tell you.

What we look at

  • Your call history: how many calls went unanswered, which days and hours
  • Your phone setup: carrier or VoIP system, forwarding, voicemail
  • What happens to a missed caller today
  • How quotes are followed up and reviews are asked for
  • The software you already use (Jobber, Housecall Pro, spreadsheet)

What you get

  • A 45-minute call, with screen share if helpful
  • A one-page plan: your top 3 fixes, ranked by jobs they could save
  • A plain yes or no on whether text-back fits your phone system
  • Delivered within 3 business days

The full $250 comes off any setup you book within 30 days.

Step 2

Setup week, day by day

What your customers see

A text from your shop, in seconds.

Your customer calls. You're in an attic. Instead of voicemail and a call to the next shop on the list, this happens:

  1. The call rings out.
  2. Within seconds, they get a text from your business number.
  3. They reply with the problem. You get an alert with their number and message.
  4. You or the office text back a time. Job booked.

Example

Example conversation. Shop name, number and messages are made up.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do I need to buy new software?

Usually not. We work with the phone line and scheduling tools you already use. If a texting number or add-on is needed, we'll show you the exact cost before anything is set up.

What phone systems does this work with?

Most business lines that can forward calls or report missed calls, including many VoIP systems and carrier lines. We confirm yours on the Checkup before you spend anything on setup.

What are the texting registration rules?

US carriers require businesses that text from a regular 10-digit number through software to register (called A2P 10DLC). We file it for you. Approval can take a few days to a few weeks, which can push the go-live date. We only text people who called you, and we include opt-out wording like “Reply STOP to opt out.”

Does this replace Jobber or Housecall Pro?

No. Your scheduling software stays where jobs live. Text-Back sends alerts; the Bundle also connects quote follow-ups and review requests to it.

Will customers know the first text is automatic?

It's short and written in your voice, from your number. What they notice is that someone got back to them in seconds.

What about contract length, cancellation and texting fees?

We'll go over terms on the Checkup call, in plain writing, before you pay for any setup.

Start with the $250 Missed-Call Checkup.

45 minutes, a one-page plan with your top 3 fixes, and the full $250 back toward setup within 30 days.
