Plumbing companies Follow-up systems for plumbing companies

When a water heater is leaking, the customer calls until someone answers. We set up the system that texts back every missed call in seconds, books the visit and tells them when the plumber is on the way.

    Where leads slip away

    Where plumbers lose customers

    Emergency calls to voicemail

    Someone with water on the floor won’t leave a message. They call the next plumber.

    Quotes that never close

    A repiping or softener quote needs a follow-up or two. Most never get one.

    No yearly reason to call

    Water heater flushes, winterizing and fixture checks are easy repeat work if someone sends the reminder.

    Before they call

    What homeowners check before choosing you

    Your website and Google profile should answer these before anyone has to call:

    • Whether you can come today, or tonight.
    • That you’re licensed and insured.
    • How you charge: a service call fee, flat rate or hourly.
    • When you’ll arrive.
    • Reviews that mention clean, honest work.

    Step 2 of 8 · Never miss a lead

          Step 5 of 8 · Track every job

          “Plumber on the way” without a phone call

          Each job moves along a board, and each step texts the customer: booked, on the way, done, invoice.

          Every move sets off the next step on its own.

          Example jobs and amounts. Tap any card to move it along. We set up your stages and what happens at each one.

          Step 6 of 8 · Reviews and referrals

          Ask the day the water’s back on

          After the job, the customer gets a text with a link straight to your Google review box, and a referral link for neighbors.

                  Customers you haven’t seen in a while. One text can bring some of them back.

                  Example customers and replies. We send only to customers who agreed to hear from you, and every text has an easy opt-out.

                  Step 8 of 8 · See what’s working

                  Know which calls are worth the most

                  A plain report on the 1st: calls, emergencies, booked jobs, reviews and where each came from, with a separate number for the van and each listing.

                  Every source gets its own number. They all ring your phone.

                  Example calls. We set up a number for each ad, sign and listing, record where every call came from, and show it in your monthly report.

                  What we set up

                  Set up and run for you

                  • A text back to every missed call, with urgent jobs flagged to you
                  • Online booking for non-emergency visits
                  • “Plumber on the way” texts
                  • A review request after the job
                  • Water heater and winterizing reminders

                  We write the messages with you, connect everything to your phone, calendar and website, and keep it running. You get the leads and a plain report every month. More about how it works.

                  Your website

                  What a website for plumbers needs

                  • Emergency service at the top with a tap-to-call number, if you offer it.
                  • Pages for water heaters, drains, leaks and repipes, plus remodels or new construction if you do them.
                  • Your license and insurance shown plainly.
                  • How you charge, in plain words.
                  • Your service area, matching your Google Business Profile.

                  Through the year

                  Busy seasons for plumbers in North Idaho

                  Winter brings frozen and burst pipes, and water heaters give out when they’re working hardest. Spring brings sprinkler start-ups and leaks that show up as things thaw.

                  A site that puts emergency service and frozen-pipe help first in the cold months answers the searches that come in at two in the morning.

                  Questions

                  Questions from plumbers

                  Can urgent calls still reach me?

                  Yes. The system can flag urgent requests and alert you right away, while it texts the customer back so they know help is coming.

                  Does it replace my answering service?

                  It can work with one or instead of one. We’ll look at what you have.

                  Who sets it up?

                  We do, and we keep it running. You just answer the customers it brings you.

                  Should a plumbing website list prices?

                  A service call fee or a few flat-rate jobs help, along with how you quote everything else. People call more readily when they know what the visit costs.

                  How do I handle emergency calls after hours?

                  Decide what counts as an emergency and who answers. The system can text every after-hours caller right away and flag the urgent ones to whoever is on call.

                  Do I need a page for every service?

                  For the ones you want more of, yes: water heaters, drains, leak repair. Each page answers the search people actually make.
