The Problem
Every Missed Call Was a Lost Job
Missing Emergency Calls
Plumbing emergencies don't wait. When Tony was under a sink or driving between jobs, calls rang through to voicemail — and customers called the next plumber immediately.
Losing Jobs to Faster Competitors
Larger plumbing companies had call centers open 24/7. A one-person shop couldn't compete on response speed — until automation leveled the playing field.
No Review System
Tony did great work but never asked for reviews. His Google profile sat at 3.8 stars with only 12 reviews, making it harder for new customers to choose him over rated competitors.
What We Built
60-Second Response. Every Single Call.
Step 01
60-Second Textback
Every missed call triggered an instant text within 60 seconds: "Hey, this is Tony's Plumbing — sorry we missed you! We're often on job sites. Can I help you book a time?" No lead escaped.
Step 02
AI Booking Bot
The follow-up text included a booking link. For urgent calls, an AI chat assistant collected job details, confirmed availability, and scheduled the appointment — 24/7, no phone required.
Step 03
Review Automation Post-Service
Two hours after every completed job, an automated text went out asking for a review. Happy customers were sent directly to Google. Any issues were captured privately before going public.
The Outcome
$18K in Month One. 60+ Reviews. 4.9 Stars.
"I didn't even know how many calls I was missing. The textback system made $18,000 in the first month from jobs I would have lost."
