Does the text come from my number?

Yes. The customer sees your number, not a random short code.

What if they do not reply?

You still have their number from the missed call. You can call them back. The text just raises the chance they wait.

Can I use it with more than one number?

Yes. Each number is $99 a month.

How is this different from the AI answering service?

This sends a text after a missed call. The AI answering service picks up the call, asks the questions, and can book the job. Different jobs, different prices.

SCROLL TO UNFOLD

THE OPPORTUNITY

A missed call. A second chance.

A contractor on a job cannot answer every call. The ones that go to voicemail often call the next company on the list. A text sent from your number within seconds of the missed call recovers a share of those jobs. The text asks what the job is. The person replies. You call them back when you are free.

WARDORX runs this for $99 a month per number. Includes 1,000 messages. No setup fee. Cancel any time. It works with the phone number you already use. The text comes from that number, not a short code.

THE STRATEGY / 01

How it works

You forward unanswered calls or use a simple integration with your current phone system. When a call rings out, the system sends a text from your number. The default message is short: it names your company and asks what they need. You can change the wording. The reply lands in a thread you can see. You call them back from the same number.

Most shops see the cost covered in the first two weeks from jobs that would have gone elsewhere. The math is simple. One recovered water heater or panel upgrade pays for months of the service.

Who it is for

Any trade that misses calls while on a job: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, restoration, garage doors. It works for one number or several. It does not replace an answering service if you want someone to book the job live. It replaces the voicemail black hole.

What it does not do

It does not answer the call. It does not book the appointment automatically. It does not replace a person for complex quotes. It sends the text and puts the conversation in your hands. If you want a voice agent that answers and books, that is the separate $399 a month AI answering service.

Setup

We connect it to your number. You approve the message text. It runs. You can pause it or change the message any time. No long contract.

Price

$99 a month per number. 1,000 messages included. No setup fee. No contract. GST added on the invoice.

Talk through the next step

Call +1 (250) 344-1619 or book at https://www.wardorx.com/book. We can turn it on the same day in most cases.

Message examples

The default text is short. "This is [Company]. We missed your call. What do you need done?" You can change it to name the trade or ask for the address. Keep it under two sentences. Long texts get ignored.

Integration

It works with most business phone systems and with simple call forwarding. We connect it. You do not need a new number. The replies come back to a dashboard or to your existing texting app, depending on the setup.

Results we have seen

Shops that were losing calls to voicemail recover jobs in the first weeks. One recovered emergency or replacement job covers the monthly cost many times over. We do not guarantee a number of recovered calls. The service either pays for itself or you cancel.

Combining with other services

You can run this alongside the $149 Google Business Profile management or the full SEO retainer. It is independent. If you later want the AI answering service that picks up the call, you can switch or run both.

Cancellation

No contract. Cancel any time. The number stays yours. Messages already sent stay in the thread.

Call +1 (250) 344-1619.

When it pays for itself

Track the replies for two weeks. Count how many turn into booked jobs. One mid-ticket job (water heater, panel, small roof repair) usually covers the $99 many times. If the replies are zero after two weeks, the issue is usually the message text or the forwarding setup. We adjust both.

Multiple numbers

Dispatch line, office line, and after-hours line can each have the service. Each is $99. Most shops start with the main number that rings to the techs.

Privacy

The texts go to the customer who called. We do not sell the numbers. The conversation stays in your account. You can export or delete threads.

Next step after text-back

If the text-back recovers calls but you still miss the ones that need an immediate answer, the AI answering service at $399 a month picks up the call. You can run one or both. We will say which fits on the call.

Call +1 (250) 344-1619.

Additional practical notes

The work follows the same rules as the rest of the site. No invented statistics. No ranking guarantees. No city-name swaps. Pages publish only when they contain facts that exist nowhere else or answer a question customers already ask. You own the output. The monthly services can be cancelled. The goal is calls from the map pack and the service pages, measured by the tracking we set up, not by a position report.

If the current site already has the phone as text, answer-first service pages, and a complete profile, the next step may be nothing or only the profile management. We say that on the call. We do not sell a rebuild or a retainer to a business that does not need one.

Photos, dispatch data, and job notes from your crew are what make the pages specific. Without them the pages stay generic and do not rank or convert. Send what you have. We write the first draft. You correct it.
