Missed call → instant text back
When you cannot answer, the caller gets a text within seconds: Sorry we missed
you, what do you need? Reply here and we will get right back to you. They reply
by text instead of calling your competitor, and you answer when you are off the ladder.
Best for: trades, shops, anyone who works with their hands.
Job completed → Google review request
When you mark a job done, the customer gets a friendly text or email with a direct
link to your Google review page. No clipboard, no remembering to ask. This one
compounds, because reviews are the single thing that makes a local business look
established to a stranger.
Best for: every local business, without exception.
Quote sent → follow-up until they reply
A quote goes out and the sequence starts: a check-in a few days later, another the
following week, then a polite last one. It stops the moment they respond. You stop
losing work to silence, and you never have to feel like you are nagging.
Best for: contractors, remodelers, installers, anyone quoting jobs.
Website form → text the owner instantly
Someone fills out your contact form and your phone buzzes with their name, number,
and what they want, right then, not whenever you next check email. How fast you
respond is the single biggest factor in who wins a lead.
Best for: any business with a contact form or quote request.
Appointment reminders
Automatic reminders before the appointment, by text or email, with an easy way to
confirm or reschedule. Fewer empty slots, fewer wasted trips, and far fewer
I completely forgot phone calls.
Best for: salons, clinics, detailers, service calls, anything booked ahead.
Something else you do by hand
These five are the common ones, but they are not the limit. If you or someone on
your team repeats the same task every week, copying between systems, sending the
same message, chasing the same paperwork, it can usually be automated.
Best for: whatever is currently eating your evenings.
