The texts your customers get

Every text comes from your business name, in plain words. Here’s each one, when it goes, and how to change the wording.

Each text, and when it goes

When it goesWhat it says
Calls
Missed-call textA few seconds after a call goes unansweredSorry you were missed, then what they need done and which suburb
Bookings
ConfirmationWhen it books the jobThe time, and anything they need to know, like keeping the dog inside
ReminderThe day beforeThe time again. Skipped if the job was booked less than a day ahead
Check-inAn hour before the jobAsks if they’re still good. No reply, and you get a heads up to ring them
Another timeIf they cancel or don’t showOffers another time, with your booking link
Quote requests
ThanksStraight after a quote request on your websiteThanks, and you’ll be in touch shortly
First follow-up15 minutes later, if they’ve gone quietAsks for a time that suits
Last follow-upThe next day, if they’re still quietYour booking link. Then it stops
After the job
How did it go?Two hours after you mark the job doneAsks them to rate the job from 1 to 5
Review linkStraight after a 4 or 5Your Google review link
Thank youThree days after a 4 or 5Thanks, and asks them to pass your number on

A 1, 2 or 3 never gets the review link. You get a text with their name and number instead, so you can ring them.

When texts go out

A booking text that would land at night waits until 9am. Review texts only go out between 9am and 5pm.

Emergencies are different. Those come to you, any hour.

Fair questions about the texts

Can I change what they say?

Yes. Text us the words you want and we’ll change them.

Do they count towards my texts?

Yes. Every text it sends comes out of your monthly allowance: 150, 450 or 1,100, depending on your size.

What if a customer replies?

The text assistant answers, as your business. Anything urgent gets texted to you.

Can I turn one of them off?

Yes. Text us which one.
