Impulse doesn't survive a voicemail
The window between deciding to clear something out and booking someone is often under an hour. A text back in seconds catches people while they're still standing in the garage.
For Junk Removal
Junk removal is bought on impulse. Someone clearing a garage on a Saturday wants it gone today, and they will ring down the list until a human answers. There is no callback in this trade.

Sorry we missed you — Clearout Junk Removal. What have you got that needs taking away?
Garage clear-out, couch, old fridge, maybe six or seven boxes. Today possible?
We can have a truck there Friday morning. Pick a time: clearoutjunk.ca/book
Garage clear-out — 8:30am Friday
Both of you were loading a truck. First company to answer anything.
The gap
The job is physical and two-handed from the moment you arrive. Loading a sofa is not a thing you pause to take a call about — and the calls come exactly when you're mid-load, because weekends are when everybody deals with their garage.
Meanwhile the caller has a pile in the driveway and momentum. If nobody answers within a few minutes they'll book whoever does, and they're not thinking about you again.
Why it matters here
The window between deciding to clear something out and booking someone is often under an hour. A text back in seconds catches people while they're still standing in the garage.
Your prices and the next company's are close enough that nobody is really comparing. They're comparing who replied. That's the whole competition, and it's winnable with an automatic message.
Property managers and realtors book repeat clear-outs, and they check reviews before they call. A steady stream of recent ones is what moves you from one-off pickups to a regular customer.
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
It's built for exactly that. There's no software to learn — the text goes out on its own, and replies land in one app on the phone you already carry. If anything, a two-person crew needs it more than a company with someone answering the phone.
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.
