Missed call text back for contractors

When you can’t answer, the caller automatically gets a text from your business within seconds, so they have a way to tell you what they need instead of calling the next contractor on the list. LeadHunter USA Line (coming soon) will send that text, put the conversation in a business inbox in its app, and let you reply when your hands are free.

No. You keep your own number. You turn on your carrier’s "forward when unanswered" setting, which sends only the calls you don’t pick up to your LeadHunter USA business line. We walk you through it for your carrier and test it with you.

Not from your personal cell. Texting services generally can’t send from a number that lives on a cell phone plan, so the text comes from a local business number in your area code and always starts with your business name. When you call the customer back, it comes from your own phone as usual.

Within seconds of the call going unanswered: that is our design target, and we are measuring it in testing. There is no waiting for a voicemail to finish first.

Yes. Missed call text back, missed call auto reply and auto text for missed calls all mean the same thing: an automatic SMS to callers you didn’t answer. LeadHunter USA will send it from a local business number with your business name in front.

Yes, it is built to. The text will go out any time a call isn’t answered, and Google review requests you send late at night will wait until the morning.

Voicemail asks the caller to wait for you, and many hang up without leaving a message and try the next name on the list. Text back gives them a way to reach you right away, from your business name, and you still answer yourself. An answering service puts a stranger on the line instead; text back keeps it you, just a little later.

We are building it to be deliberately conservative. The caller will first hear a short greeting saying a text is coming and that they can reply STOP. They get one text, it names your business, it has no offers or links in it, and anyone who replies STOP is never texted again. We also set up carrier registration with you: US carriers expect business texts from a 10-digit number to be registered (A2P 10DLC); Twilio says unregistered traffic is filtered more and pays extra carrier fees.

After a job you’ll tap "Job done" and send your Google review link, or pick several customers at once. Everyone you pick gets the same request. There is no "were you happy?" step that sends only the happy ones to Google: Google’s review policy prohibits that, and the FTC has warned businesses against it.

A landline can’t receive texts, so for those you’ll get a push alert to call back instead. A caller with a hidden number can still leave a voicemail.

It is in testing now. The first five contractors who sign up on this page set it up with us personally, at a founding pilot price agreed with each of them before anything is charged. Public pricing will be published at launch.

Yes, and that part is live now as the free LeadHunter USA CRM. Each customer gets a card with notes and a timeline. You build a quote, send it from your own phone, and the customer approves it on theirs; then you send the invoice. With LeadHunter USA Payments, the customer can pay it by card for 3.3% + 30¢ per US card, all in. Text back from a business number is the part still coming soon.

No, it’s a separate product from the same company. Lead alerts find homeowners asking for your trade in local Facebook groups and Nextdoor. Missed call text back makes sure the people who already call you don’t slip away. You can use either one on its own, or both in the same app.
