The Revenue Leak
Why Plumbing & HVAC Companies Lose Jobs After Already Earning Them
The lead came in. You earned it with your SEO, your ads, your reputation. Then it slipped through. A missed call. An estimate that sat in the inbox for four days. A prospect who searched three more competitors before you followed up. This is the most expensive problem in the trades — and it's almost entirely fixable.
A homeowner calls during a job. No answer. No callback. They move on. Most trade businesses have no system to automatically re-engage these missed calls within minutes — the window when conversion rates are highest.
You sent the estimate. The homeowner went quiet. Three days later they booked someone else. Without an automated follow-up sequence, your pipeline relies on manual memory — and manual memory doesn't scale.
Customers want to book at 9pm after getting quotes. If booking requires a phone call during business hours, they book the competitor who had an online scheduler. Friction is attrition.
Your CRM has contacts who requested quotes 60, 90, 120 days ago. No follow-up. No reactivation. Those are real jobs sitting in a database doing nothing — because no one has time to manually work the list.
The job was great. The customer was happy. You meant to ask for a review. Three weeks later the moment has passed. Automated post-job review requests capture the positive sentiment before it fades.
We build AI workflows that close these gaps — without adding to your team's workload. The revenue was already earned. Automation is what actually captures it.
What Changes for Your Business
The measurable shifts when automation is working correctly.
Missed Calls Recovered Within Minutes
An AI text message goes out the moment a call is missed. The homeowner gets an instant response, keeps their attention on your business, and gets a path to book — before they dial the next number on the list.
Estimate Follow-Up on Autopilot
Multi-touch follow-up sequences launch the moment an estimate is sent. Reminders, value-adds, urgency nudges — all without manual effort. More estimates convert. Pipeline stays active.
24/7 Booking Without Staff
An AI scheduling assistant answers common questions, qualifies the job type, and gets the appointment on the calendar. Any time of day. Any day of the week.
Dormant Leads Reactivated
Automated reactivation campaigns reach into your existing contact list and re-engage cold leads with relevant, timely messages. Jobs you thought were lost come back.
Reviews Requested Consistently
Post-job automation sends review requests at the optimal moment — while the job is fresh and customer satisfaction is highest. Consistent reviews build ranking signals over time.
From Audit to Active Automation
We map your current lead flow, identify the highest-value gaps, and deploy automations sequentially — starting with the fastest revenue recovery.
Map the Revenue Leaks
Audit & Architecture
Before building anything, we document exactly where leads are falling through and where automation will have the highest immediate impact.
What This Phase Includes
- Current lead flow documentation
- CRM and phone system audit
- Missed call volume analysis
- Estimate conversion rate baseline
- Existing follow-up sequence review
- Platform compatibility assessment
Most businesses see measurable improvements in lead conversion within the first 30 days of core automation deployment.

What Plumbing Operators Say
Real Results. Real Operators.
These are not agency reviews. These come from plumbing companies that wanted more booked calls and got them.
"Working with our SEO partner has been one of the best marketing decisions we've made. In just a few months, he has completely transformed our SEO performance with a roadmap that is not only strategic, but clearly tailored to our business. For the first time, we don't feel like we're guessing. We have a plan, data to back it up, and a partner who keeps us accountable. What truly sets him apart is transparency. After past experiences with agencies where SEO felt like a "black box," it's refreshing to work with a team that provides real, clear data and explains what's working and why. His insights are thoughtful, his ideas are strong, and his use of AI is smart and intentional, not gimmicky. Beyond the strategy, the results speak for themselves. We saw a 40% year-over-year revenue increase this past December, and while SEO isn't the only factor, it has absolutely contributed to that growth. He is passionate about what he does, and it shows in both his work and his team. This is not a vendor relationship. This is a true partnership. If you're looking for an SEO company that is strategic, transparent, and genuinely invested in your success, I can't recommend him enough."
