The problem

What happens when you miss a call today

They ring the next business, and the next business gets the job.

  • Caller hears it ring out
  • They search again and ring the next firm
  • Voicemail never gets listened to
  • You find the missed call hours later

Someone who needs a trade in a hurry rarely waits for a callback. If you do not pick up, they go back to the search results and ring the next name. They are not being rude. They have a leak, a lock or a flat battery.

You cannot answer when you are on the tools. That is the nature of the work. We run an exterior cleaning firm, so we know exactly how it feels to watch a missed call come in from a ladder.

Missed call text back gives you a way to hold the lead while you finish the job. The caller gets a reply straight away, so they know you saw it and you are coming back to them.

How it works

How missed call text back works

Four steps, all automatic. You do not touch a thing.

  1. A customer rings and you cannot answer

    You are up a ladder, under a van or with a customer. The call rings out.

  2. A text goes out within seconds

    It carries your business name, a short message and a WhatsApp link.

  3. The call is logged in your CRM

    Number, time and any reply are saved, so nothing is lost on a busy day.

  4. You ring back with the details

    If they reply with the job and postcode, you call back knowing what they need.

Behind the scenes, your phone provider passes unanswered calls to our system. It sends the text, logs the call and, if you want it, pings you on WhatsApp. The whole thing usually takes a few seconds, and you can read more about the wider setup in our CRM and follow-up automation service.

The text

What the text says

Short, friendly and in your voice. These are examples. We edit the wording with you.

  • Simple and quick

    Hi, it is Your Business. Sorry we missed your call, we are on a job. We will ring you back shortly. Or message us here on WhatsApp.

  • Ask for the details

    Thanks for calling Your Business. What do you need doing and what is your postcode? We will call you back as soon as we are free.

  • Out of hours

    Thanks for calling Your Business. We are closed until 8am. Send us the job and your postcode and we will ring you first thing.

Set-up

Keeps your number, works on a job

No new phone, no new SIM. Live in days, not weeks.

We set it up alongside what you already use, test it and hand it over. Most set-ups are done as part of our usual call, build, live process, which is usually inside 7 days.

It works whether you are on a mobile, a landline or a tracking number. Because it runs in the background, it keeps working when your phone is in your pocket or on silent.

  • Pick your number

    We use the number customers already ring, or the tracking number on your ads.

  • Set unanswered calls

    Calls you miss or decline trigger the text. Calls you answer do not.

  • Write your wording

    We draft it in your voice, with your name and a WhatsApp link. You approve it.

  • Test it live

    We ring from a spare phone and check the text, the CRM entry and your alert all land.

Works together

A text on its own is good. A text that also creates a record is better. Each missed call lands in your CRM as a new lead, so you can see who rang, when, and whether they replied.

If you run Google Ads, we pair missed call text back with call tracking and reporting. You see which ad or search produced each call, answered or not. We run call tracking, Google Ads and missed call text back for an automotive client the same way.

Combine it with WhatsApp lead alerts and you get the caller details on your phone the moment the text goes out.

Who it suits

Built for trades who cannot answer

It suits any business where the phone rings while your hands are full. Three groups get the most out of it.

Emergency trades

A locksmith or plumber gets calls from people who need help now. Those callers will not wait. A fast text can be the difference between booking the job and losing it to the next firm on the list.

Mobile services

A mobile mechanic spends the day under bonnets and on driveways. Missed call text back means a caller gets a reply even when you are elbow deep in an engine.

Small teams

If you are a one-person firm or a small crew, nobody is sat by the phone. The text covers that gap. If you want every call answered, not just texted, look at our AI phone receptionist. See all our marketing services too.

What missed call text back costs

Missed call text back is from £29 a month, plus a one-off £49 set-up fee. It comes included in our Growth and Scale plans, alongside ads, call tracking and CRM follow-up.

Questions owners ask us

What is missed call text back?

It is an automatic text that goes to a caller within seconds of a call you could not answer. It says who you are, tells them you will call back and gives them an easy way to reply or message you on WhatsApp.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. It works with the number your customers already ring. If you want to keep your mobile, we set up call forwarding on unanswered calls so the text can fire. Your number stays yours.

Will it text people who are not customers?

It only texts people who called and were not answered. We can set it to skip numbers you know, such as family, suppliers or existing customers you would rather ring yourself.

Can I change what the text says?

Yes. We write it with you in your own voice and you can change it whenever you like. Short and friendly works best. Ask for the job type and postcode so you can ring back prepared.

Where do the missed calls go?

Each missed call, and any reply, lands in your CRM and can alert you on WhatsApp. See CRM and follow-up automation and WhatsApp lead alerts.

How much does it cost?

It is from £29 a month with a £49 set-up fee, and it is included in our Growth and Scale plans. We confirm the price for your set-up on a free 20-minute call. See every plan and price.
