Automation for local service businesses that cannot answer every call.
Field-service work has a brutal pattern: crews are on a job site, on a roof, under a sink, or driving between stops, and three quote calls come in at once. Whoever answers fastest usually wins the job. The setup catches missed calls during active work hours with an instant text reply, sends quote requests a follow-up nudge after 24 and 72 hours, and asks for a Google review the night the job wraps, without anyone opening an app.

In the field
How field-service crews actually use it
- Missed call from a job site → caller gets a text within seconds asking what they need a quote on, and the lead lands in your phone before they call the next number on Google.
- Quote sent, no reply → automatic 24-hour and 72-hour follow-up texts go out so estimates don't sit in someone's inbox forgotten.
- Job confirmed → day-of arrival window goes to the customer so you stop fielding "what time?" texts at 7am.
- Crew marks the job started → "on my way" text fires automatically. Customer knows. You keep working.
- Job complete → review request sent that evening, while the work is still fresh and the customer is most likely to leave five stars.
Many service businesses lose quote requests simply because crews are actively working and unable to answer the phone in the moment. By the time anyone calls back, the customer has already booked the next number on Google. A missed-call text-back closes that gap without anyone touching their phone.
Follow-up reminders matter as much as the original quote. Most estimates don't go cold because the price was wrong, they go cold because nobody followed up at 24 hours, then 72 hours, then a week. A short reminder cadence usually recovers more revenue than chasing new leads.
Automated review requests, sent the evening of a completed job, are the single biggest lever for local SEO most service businesses ignore. The work is done, the customer is happy, and you're not in front of them to ask. The text asks for you.
