Missed Call Machine texts every missed caller back in seconds, finds out what they need, and books the job straight to your calendar. It’s the office manager you can’t afford to hire — for $79 a month, with no setup fee.
The math
A water heater install runs about $1,800. A service call, a panel upgrade, a full system — every one of them dwarfs what this costs.
69% of missed business calls get no callback within 48 hours (Quo, 2026). Missed Call Machine texts back in seconds — before the caller moves on.
You don’t need ten extra jobs a month. You need one caller who doesn’t go to the next guy. That’s the whole pitch.
Since October 1, Google charges Local Services Ads shops for calls that ring out past 20 seconds during business hours — you pay for the lead whether you talk to them or not. Missed Call Machine texts that caller back in seconds and books the job, so a lead you already paid for doesn’t go to the next shop.
How it works
You keep working. The missed call gets a text before the customer starts dialing competitors.
It asks what’s wrong in plain language — like your best office manager would — and sorts the urgent calls from the routine ones.
You get a text with the booking: who, what, when. Just show up. If a human’s needed, it hands the conversation to you.
Straight talk
Angi and Yelp sell you leads. We don’t sell anything but the calls you already earned — the people who dialed your number first.
No strangers, no scripts, no $400 a month. Your customers text with your shop, under your name, in your voice.
It says you’re on a job, asks what’s wrong, and books it. It never pretends to be you, and never tries to diagnose the problem.
Pricing
Early-access pricing for independent shops. No tiers, no per-call fees, no fine print.
One flat price per shop. No setup fee. Cancel anytime.
You’re on a roof, in a crawlspace, or under a sink. Someone has to answer the phone. Now someone does — every time, even at 9 PM on a Sunday.
No app to learn. No dashboard to babysit. It just texts you when a job’s booked.
