Marketing automation that turns leads into booked jobs.

We build and manage the automated follow-up system that sits between your ads and your calendar — instant texts, persistent email sequences, appointment reminders, and reactivation campaigns. Every lead gets a response in minutes instead of days, and nobody on your team has to remember to send it.

Speed-to-lead decides who gets the job.

Most service businesses do not have a lead problem. They have a follow-up problem. A lead contacted within five minutes is many times more likely to convert than the same lead contacted five hours later — and by the next morning, a competitor has usually already called. Automation closes that gap permanently, because the response does not depend on who is free to make the call.

MINUTE 01

Instant response

The second a form is submitted or a call is missed, the lead gets a personalised text and email — and the right person on your team gets a notification with the lead's name, source, and what they asked for.

DAY 01–14

Follow-up sequence

Leads who do not book get a polite, persistent sequence of texts and emails across the first two weeks. It stops the moment they reply, and it runs whether or not anyone remembers to chase.

BOOKING

Reminders & no-show recovery

Confirmations and staged reminders cut no-shows. When an appointment is missed anyway, a rebooking prompt goes out the same day instead of the lead quietly going cold.

AFTER

Reviews & reactivation

Closed customers get review requests on autopilot, which feeds your local ranking. Old leads and past customers get reactivation campaigns that pull revenue out of a list you already paid for.

What our marketing automation services include.

This is a managed build, not a template you are handed and left to configure. We construct the system inside your CRM, write the sequences, connect the tracking, and keep it maintained.

01

Speed-to-lead response

The first automated touch, firing within seconds of a form fill, a click-to-call, a missed call, or a chat. This single mechanism usually produces the largest measurable lift of anything on this page.

  • Instant SMS & email to the lead
  • Missed-call text-back
  • Team alerts with full lead context
  • Routing by service, source, or territory
02

Multi-step nurture sequences

Written sequences for each way a lead can enter and each reason they stall — quoted but undecided, price-shopping, or booked for a future season.

  • Separate tracks per service line
  • Quote follow-up & objection handling
  • Long-cycle nurture for future work
  • Automatic stop on reply or booking
03

CRM & pipeline build

Every lead lands in a pipeline your team can actually see, with source, campaign, and full conversation history attached. Built in the CRM you already use where possible.

  • Stage design that matches how you sell
  • Source & campaign attribution on every record
  • Two-way text and email in one inbox
  • Calendar and booking connected
04

Appointment & estimate workflows

The stretch between booked and closed is where most service businesses leak revenue. These workflows protect it.

  • Confirmation and staged reminders
  • No-show rebooking prompts
  • Post-estimate follow-up until a decision
  • Deposit and paperwork chasing
05

Database reactivation

Most established businesses are sitting on thousands of old leads and past customers. Reactivation campaigns are the cheapest revenue available to you, because the acquisition cost is already sunk. Pairs directly with email marketing.

  • List cleaning & segmentation
  • Win-back and seasonal campaigns
  • Review and referral requests
  • Repeat-service reminders
06

Reporting & attribution

Response times, booking rates, show rates, and close rates measured — so the whole funnel is visible, not just the ad spend at the top of it. Built on the same foundation as our tracking and analytics work.

  • Speed-to-lead reporting
  • Pipeline conversion by stage
  • Revenue traced back to campaign
  • Monthly scorecard, no chasing required

How the engagement runs.

01

We map your current process before we automate anything

Automating a broken follow-up process just makes it fail faster. We start by tracing what actually happens to a lead today — who touches it, how long each step takes, and where it dies — then automate against that, not against a generic template.

02

It gets built in your CRM, not bolted onto ours

Where you already have a CRM that works, we build inside it. Where you do not, we stand one up that your team owns outright. You are not renting access to your own customer database, and nothing breaks if you stop working with us.

03

Your team keeps the conversation

Automation opens the conversation and keeps it warm. It does not pretend to be a salesperson. The moment a lead replies, the sequence stops and a human picks up in the same thread, with the full history in front of them.

04

It is managed monthly, not built once and abandoned

Sequences get tested and rewritten, deliverability gets monitored, and new campaigns get added as the business changes. A follow-up system that nobody maintains degrades quietly within a couple of quarters.

Who this is built for.

Our automated marketing solutions are built for service businesses where a lead is worth enough to chase properly and the sales cycle is measured in days or weeks rather than seconds — home improvement and renovation contractors, window, roofing and exterior trades, professional services firms, and event and venue operators. If a single job is worth four figures or more, the arithmetic on speed-to-lead is not close.

It works best when there is already lead volume to work with. If you are not yet generating enough leads for follow-up to be the constraint, paid advertising or search visibility is the better first investment, and we will tell you that on the call rather than sell you a system with nothing to run through it. Where the leads exist but too few of them convert, automation and conversion rate optimization are usually the fastest path to more booked work without spending another dollar on media.

You can see what this looks like in practice on the Smart Shield Windows and New Look Painting case studies, where follow-up systems sit underneath the paid media numbers.
