[ Missed call text back ]

You miss the call.
They still get an answer.

  1. 01

    The call comes in

    On the number you authorized, while you are on a roof, under a sink, or three streets away in the truck.

  2. 02

    Nobody picks up

    Normally the lead ends here. You paid for the call, and the caller moves on to the next contractor on the list.

  3. 03

    The text goes back

    An approved message sends automatically, in seconds. You sign off the wording and the stop conditions before anything is live.

  4. 04

    They reply

    The conversation is open, and the lead routes into the CRM, Jobber or Trello pipeline you already use.

Sample wording, shown to illustrate how the mechanism works. Automatq guarantees the agreed launch remedy — not lead volume, customer behaviour, booked jobs, closed revenue, or return on investment.

[ 5-star review funnel ]

You finish the job.
The review asks for itself.

  1. 01

    You mark the job done

    In Jobber, Trello or wherever you already close jobs. That is the only trigger, and it is the last thing you do.

  2. 02

    The request sends itself

    An approved text goes out with your review link. Every customer gets the same link — we never screen anyone out based on how we think they will rate you.

  3. 03

    They tap once

    The link opens straight to your Google profile. No app, no account, nothing to remember.

  4. 04

    The review posts

    If nothing arrives, a reminder follows up to twice over the next two weeks, then stops.

Every customer gets the same link. We do not filter by predicted rating — that practice breaks Google's review policies and can cost you the profile and every review on it. If someone is unhappy, they get a direct line to you as well, never instead.

[ One-click marketing campaigns ]

You pick one campaign.
Your whole list hears from you.

  1. 01

    Choose from the library

    Lead revival, review requests, seasonal promos, customer nurture. All four are written and ready, and you approve the wording before anything sends.

  2. 02

    The list is already yours

    Past customers and quiet enquiries, pulled from the CRM you already use. Anyone without consent, and anyone who opted out, is left out automatically.

  3. 03

    One click sends it

    No spreadsheet to export, no bulk texting tool to paste into. One button, once.

  4. 04

    Everyone gets the same message

    Sent from your number, personalised with each name, with an unsubscribe in every one. Replies come back to your inbox as ordinary conversations.

Campaigns go only to people who gave you consent, every message carries an unsubscribe, and an opt-out is honoured across every campaign at once. We do not offer gift cards or any other incentive in exchange for a review. Sample wording and a sample list size, shown to illustrate how the mechanism works — not a forecast of replies or work won.

Start here

Three ways. A website built to turn visitors into booked jobs. Every lead answered within minutes, so you stop losing them to a slow reply. And steady follow-up until they book or buy. On top of that, we keep your 5-star reviews climbing so more people pick you in the first place.

What we're fixing is the leak — the enquiries you already get that go cold. We don't promise a number of new customers; see the next question.

No — and be careful with anyone who does. How many people call you depends on your market, your pricing, your reputation, the season, and what your competitors did that week. None of that belongs to us, so none of it goes in your contract.

We sell the mechanism, not the market. When a call comes in and you can't pick it up, it gets answered — every time, in seconds, in words you approved. That's what we build, operate, and guarantee. We don't guarantee lead volume, booked jobs, closed revenue, or return on investment, and any numbers on this site illustrate how the mechanism works rather than forecasting what you'll get.

No — that's the whole point. New leads, replies, bookings, and a simple weekly update all land in your inbox, where you already work. Nothing new to learn, nothing to babysit. There's an optional dashboard for project files and invoices if you want it, but it's never required.

Answering every lead, following up so deals don't die, keeping your calendar booked, asking happy customers for reviews, your website, your branding, and your photos and video. Take the whole thing off your plate, or just the parts you need most.

Chris Bender — designer, engineer, and operator — runs everything end to end. Behind the scenes, automation handles the repetitive parts (drafts, reminders, follow-ups) so nothing slips through. No outsourcing, no committee. One person owns the result from start to finish.

Lead answering, follow-up, and reviews can be live in days. A new website ships in 2–8 weeks depending on size. Photo and video is a 1–3 day shoot with edits back in 7–10 days. You see preview links from day one, so you always know where things stand.

The WebHost care plan ($150/mo) covers hosting, fixes, and updates. We keep an eye on everything and fix issues before you notice. That's the deal — you're paying for the result, not a tool you have to maintain yourself.

Yes — it's the core of the 30-Day Missed-Lead Recovery Sprint. When an eligible call to the agreed number goes unanswered, an approved text goes back automatically, and website form or chat enquiries get an acknowledgement too. You approve every message, stop condition, and escalation rule before anything sends, and opt-outs are handled.
