For Electricians
Half an electrician's day is spent somewhere a phone can't follow — in a crawlspace, on a ladder, inside a live panel. The inquiries keep arriving anyway. Here's what happens to them.

You were inside a live panel the whole time. You found out when you got back to the van.
The gap
Electrical work is quoted more than most trades. People ring around, describe the job, and go with whoever gives them a straight answer soonest. That conversation has to happen while you're on site doing the last one.
So the inquiry lands, rings out, and gets no reply for four hours. By then they've spoken to two other sparkies and the price you'd have quoted is irrelevant.
Why it matters here
Most people ringing three electricians aren't running a spreadsheet. They go with whoever felt easiest to deal with, and being first to respond is most of that. A text that lands in seconds puts you at the front of a queue you didn't know you were in.
The jobs that pay well are the ones with the longest decision window — and the longest window is the most time for someone else to get in first. Instant follow-up matters more on a $6,000 rewire than on a light fitting.
People checking whether you're properly certified look at your website and your reviews, in that order. A directory-template website with eleven reviews doesn't reassure anyone about electrical safety.
What you get
The same system whatever your trade — a website that brings the calls in, and everything behind it that stops them going to waste.

Straight answer
Some companies selling this will offer to screen your reviews — catch the unhappy ones before they reach Google. I don't, because Google prohibits it and it's your listing that gets suspended, not the vendor's.
The system asks every customer instead, right after the job. Most of your customers are happy, so that still lands most businesses in the high fours — the problem was never bad reviews, it was that nobody was asking. More on that here.
Questions
That's typical, and it works right up until a builder goes quiet or a season slows down. This isn't about replacing referral work — it's about the residential inquiries you're already getting and not converting, and about being findable when someone new looks you up before calling.
Usually one to two weeks from approval. Text messaging carriers require a registration step for business numbers that takes several business days, and I start it the day you sign. Your website goes live regardless — only the texting waits.
No. Month to month, cancel whenever with an email. The website is licensed to you while you're a subscriber rather than sold to you — that's what makes $397 with no setup fee possible — but your domain and your customer data are yours and come with you either way.
Fifteen minutes on the phone, then I build it. You decide once it's in front of you — nothing to pay before that.
