Missed-call recovery for service businesses

Stop losing customers to missed calls

HelixResponse automatically texts back every caller you miss — in under 60 seconds. Follow up automatically, book more jobs, send the quote and invoice, and get paid.

Leave a number and we'll text you back in seconds — the same thing your customers would get.

By submitting with a phone number you agree to receive text messages from HelixResponse about your enquiry. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out. Details.

How it works

Three steps. Zero missed opportunities.

1

Customer Calls You

A potential customer calls your business number. You're on a job, driving, or after hours — you can't answer.

2

We Text Them Back

Within 60 seconds, HelixResponse sends your caller a text message on your behalf, letting them know you got their call.

3

You Book the Job

The customer replies, you connect, and you book the job you would have lost. We follow up automatically for 7 days if needed.

The full platform

Everything you need to win more jobs

A complete front-office platform built for contractors and local service businesses. Stop losing revenue to missed calls, slow follow-ups, quotes nobody chases, and invoices that sit unpaid.

Instant Missed-Call Text-Back

When you can't answer, we text the caller within 60 seconds — on your behalf, from your business number. They know you care, and you don't lose the lead.

Under 60 secondsYour business numberFully automatic

Catch every lead

Nothing gets missed, whatever time it comes in.

AI conversations by text

The assistant texts back and forth like a real person — answers questions, works out what the job is, and picks up the job address as it goes. It only knows what you tell it about your business, so it never invents a price.

Website chat widget

The same assistant, live on your site with one line of code. Visitors get answers while you're on a job, and become leads instead of bouncing.

One business number

Customers call and text one number, never your cell. Calls ring your own phone, and when you call a customer back from the app they still see the business number.

Emergency detection

A burst pipe or a gas smell alerts you immediately, ignoring quiet hours. An ordinary enquiry doesn't — so the alerts stay worth reading.

Spam & solicitor blocking

Sales pitches and robotexts are caught and the number blocked automatically — before you're ever notified. Your lead list is only real customers.

Speaks Spanish

If a customer texts in Spanish, the assistant answers in natural Spanish and keeps going. It follows them if they switch back.

Photos both ways

The assistant asks for a picture when it would help, so you can quote the job before anyone drives out — and you can text photos back: the part, the panel, where you left the key.

One conversation per customer

Texts, calls and website chat in a single thread that updates as it happens. You can see who said what — you, the assistant, or an automatic follow-up — and whether each text reached them.

Phone menus & voicemail

Menus, team routing, after-hours greetings, and voicemail transcribed to text against the lead. No separate phone provider needed.

iPhone & Android apps

Leads, conversations, appointments, quotes, invoices and push alerts in your pocket. Text a customer, call them, build a quote and photograph the job from the truck, without opening a laptop.

Work it into a booked job

The chasing that usually doesn't happen, happening automatically.

Lead pipeline

Every lead from first contact to closed, with status, priority, job address and value. Met someone on a job? Add them by hand in seconds.

Booking your way

Let the assistant book straight into your calendar, checking you're free first — or have it collect the days and times that suit the customer and confirm the job yourself.

Google & Outlook sync

Two-way. Move a job in Outlook and it moves here; move it here and it moves there. No double entry, no double bookings.

Appointment reminders

Automatic texts 24 hours and 1 hour before. Customers can reply to reschedule and the assistant handles it — fewer no-shows.

Follow-up sequences

Automatic nudges over the first week for anyone who goes quiet. Quiet hours built in, so nobody gets a text at 2am.

Zapier & integrations

Push leads, bookings and won jobs into whatever you already use, through Zapier, webhooks, or the API directly.

Quote it, invoice it, get paid

From the price to the payment, without the paperwork.

Branded quotes

Professional quotes with your logo, sections and line items, sent by text or email. Customers accept on their phone, and you see the moment they open it.

Quote follow-ups

Quotes that go unanswered get chased at 3, 10 and 30 days. Most contractors never make that third call — this one does.

Invoices in one tap

Turn an accepted quote into an invoice, adjust it for what the job really took, and send it. Overdue and paid are tracked for you.

Online payments

Customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay straight from the invoice. The money goes to your own account and the invoice marks itself paid.

Before & after photos

Show the customer exactly what's being quoted, then add photos of the finished work to the invoice as proof it was done.

Prove the return, then grow

What it brought back, and how you get found next month.

Recovered revenue

The number that matters: what the jobs you'd otherwise have lost were actually worth. Live, on your dashboard.

Monthly reports

Calls handled, leads captured, jobs booked, revenue recovered. Plain proof it pays for itself, sent to you each month.

Review requests

Once a job is won, the customer gets asked for a Google review at the moment they're happiest. Replies drafted for you to post.

Local SEO tracking

Where you rank for the searches that bring work, including map pack position, checked weekly.

Google Business Profile

We audit the listing — hours, photos, categories, description — and tell you exactly what's holding your ranking back.

Your own landing page

A professional page with your branding, services and the chat widget built in. Nothing to design, nothing to host.

Multiple locations

Separate numbers, hours, routing and reporting per location, all from one dashboard.
