What it's worth
Missed-call text-back
Your techs are under sinks and the office line is busy. Anyone whose call goes unanswered gets a text within seconds, so a burst pipe doesn't go to the next plumber on Google.
A homeowner calls with water on the floor.Your tech is mid-job and the office line is busy.
Nobody answers.With water on the floor, they skip the voicemail and call the next plumber.
The AI texts them back in seconds.The text comes from your business number: "Sorry we missed you, what's going on?"
It gets the details and offers the next opening.It asks what's leaking, reminds them where to shut off the water, and offers a time.
You get a booked job, not a missed call.The job lands on the board with the customer's notes.
Every missed call gets a reply in seconds, even at 9 PM.
Emergency callers hear from you before they dial the next plumber.
The office calls back a booked customer, not a cold lead.
Example: save one $450 job a week and it's about $1,900 a month.
You decide what the AI books on its own and what waits for the office.

24/7 AI receptionist
A voice agent answers after-hours and overflow calls. It sorts emergencies from routine jobs, books them on the calendar, and pages the on-call tech for true emergencies.
A call comes in at 2:14 AM.The office is closed. The AI answers in your company's name.
It asks what's going on.Short questions: what's leaking, how bad, is the water off.
It sorts emergency from routine.Your rules decide. Water still running with the valve shut is an emergency. A dripping faucet waits for morning.
It pages the on-call tech.The tech gets the address, the problem, and a button to call back.
It confirms with the caller and logs the call.Routine calls get booked into the morning. Every call gets a written summary.
No more voicemail at 2 AM.
Your on-call tech only wakes up for real emergencies.
Overflow calls get answered during the morning rush too.
Example: answer 2 after-hours emergencies a week at $650 each and it's about $5,600 a month.
You write the emergency rules and the on-call schedule. The AI never quotes a price on the phone unless you allow it.
Is the water still running after you closed the cold valve on top?
Yes, it won't stop.
A plumber will call you in the next 10 minutes.

Open-estimate follow-up
It chases quotes sent out with no yes. Every morning the AI drafts the follow-ups, and your CSR reviews and sends them, so a $2,400 water heater quote doesn't sit there for weeks.
Estimates go out and many go quiet.A big quote with no follow-up usually goes cold.
Every morning, the AI lists the ones due for a follow-up.Biggest first, with how long each one has waited.
It drafts a follow-up for each one.Each message names the job and your next opening.
Your CSR reviews and sends.Change any word. Nothing goes out without a person.
Open estimates turn into booked jobs.Replies come back to your business number.
Every open estimate gets a follow-up.
Your CSR spends minutes a morning, not hours, chasing quotes.
A person sends every message, so it sounds like your shop.
Example: win back 2 open $1,800 estimates a month and it's $3,600.
The AI only drafts. Your CSR sends every follow-up.

Past-customer reactivation
Your customer list is full of jobs waiting to happen: water heaters near the end of their life, drains due for a cleaning, and outdoor pipes to winterize. The AI sends each customer the right reminder and turns the list into booked jobs.
Your past customers sit in a list.Years of jobs. Most of them never hear from you again.
The AI sorts them by what's due.Water heater age, last drain cleaning, outdoor spigots before the freeze.
It sends a personal reminder.It mentions their last job, so it reads like a text from your office.
Customers reply and book.Often for more than the reminder asked about.
The list you already own fills the calendar.No ad spend.
Booked jobs from customers you already have.
Old water heaters get replaced before they flood a basement.
Slow weeks fill up before they happen.
Example: book 6 past customers a month at $350 each and it's $2,100.
You approve each campaign. Only customers who agreed to texts get one, and anyone is free to reply STOP.

Review request automation
After a job is marked complete, the customer gets a text asking for a Google review. If a reply shows a problem, it goes straight to the owner.
The tech marks the job complete.It's the signal. No one has to remember to ask.
An hour later, the customer gets a review request.Sent while the job is fresh, from your business number.
Happy customers leave the review.One tap opens your Google review page.
Problems go straight to the owner.You hear about it first and make it right.
Your review count climbs every week.More reviews means more calls from Google.
More Google reviews without asking in person.
Problems reach you while there's still time to fix them.
Every customer gets the same request. Google's rules don't allow asking only happy customers.
Example: at 80 completed jobs a month, a 1 in 4 response rate is 20 new reviews a month.
You write the request once. You pick how long after the job it goes out.

Cold outreach to property managers
Personal outreach to landlords, property managers, and commercial buildings in need of a plumber to call every month. Recurring work between homeowner jobs.
The AI builds a list of local property managers, landlords, and commercial buildings.Only inside your service area.
It researches each one.Number of units, building age, and tenant reviews mentioning leaks.
It drafts a personal message for each.Each one names a real property.
You approve them, and they go out.Nothing sends without your OK.
Replies turn into recurring work.Unit turnovers, backflow tests, and a standing call list.
Steady B2B work in the slow weeks.
One property manager often means dozens of calls a year.
Commercial buildings need backflow testing every year, on a schedule.
Example: one property manager with 10 service calls a month at $300 each is $3,000 a month.
You approve every message. Every email includes an easy way to opt out.
Hi Rachel, a few tenant reviews at your Elm St building mention slow drains and leaks. We do same-week service calls for property managers and bill monthly. Worth a quick call? Tony, Brightwater Plumbing
