For one-truck operators · Website + Lead Response · $297/mo
Just you and a helper? Here are 7 reasons a one-truck shop needs follow-up more than a 10-truck shop does.
The big shop has an office manager, a dispatcher, and a marketing person. You have a truck, a helper, and a phone that buzzes while you're under a house. Every system the big shop gets from staff, you have to get from automation — or do it yourself at 9pm.

The 7 reasons
Reason 1 · No bench
There's nobody to catch what you drop
When a 10-truck shop misses a follow-up, someone else picks it up. When you miss one, it's gone — and it was probably a job you quoted carefully and wanted.
Reason 2 · The 9pm problem
Your office hours are after your work hours
Quotes, callbacks, and “just checking in” messages all land in your evening. Automated follow-up sends the instant reply at 2pm while you're working, so the lead is warm — not cold — when you do sit down.
Reason 3 · Speed beats size
Fast response makes a small shop feel big
The customer can't see your org chart. They see who answered first, who followed up, and who made booking easy. Instant lead alerts and automated follow-up make a one-truck operation respond like a company three times its size.
Reason 4 · Assistants check size-blind
AI recommends the readable shop, not the biggest
When a homeowner asks an AI assistant who to call, it reads websites — not truck counts. A one-page site built to score in the 90s for AI-readiness puts you in answers that shops with no site never appear in.
Reason 5 · Every job matters more
You can't volume your way past leakage
A big shop can afford to lose a third of its leads. Losing three jobs a month might be your helper's raise, your new truck, or your slow month. Plugging the leak is the cheapest growth a small shop can buy.
Reason 6 · No setup burden
You don't have six weeks to build a website
There's no setup fee and nothing for you to build. The site, the alerts, the follow-up, the AI chat/booking, hosting, and updates are handled — you approve it and go back to work.
Reason 7 · The package
It's a front office, rented monthly
$297/mo buys the part of a front office that loses you money when it's missing: a website that captures inquiries, alerts you instantly, follows up automatically, and gets re-audited monthly to stay readable to AI assistants. Cancel anytime; the domain is yours.

The objections we hear
“I'm booked out already.”
Then this is about which jobs you take and what happens in the slow weeks. A full pipeline you can see beats a full week you can't plan — and slow seasons come for every shop.
“Can I afford $297/mo?”
Frame it against one job: a single recovered repair or install covers months. The follow-up system exists to catch exactly the jobs currently slipping through.
“What do I have to do?”
One short conversation about your services and area. Everything else — build, hosting, follow-up setup, monthly re-audit — is done for you.
