Every missed call is a job going to the next guy.

The phone rings. You're at a job. You don't pick up. They hang up and call the next guy. They're gone in 60 seconds. With AlgoX, they get a text from your shop in about 60 seconds, answers to common questions, and follow-ups at 2, 24 and 72 hours until they reply or you mark it handled. You see every call in one place.

Every missed call gets a text in under a minute, three follow-ups, and lands in one inbox.

Built for the rush

The first rain after a dry summer. A heat wave. A Santa Ana wind night when the power cuts out. That's when your phone rings off the hook and you're already on a job. That's when every caller still needs to hear back.

How it works

  1. Every missed call gets a text

    Within about 60 seconds, your caller gets a text from your shop: "Sorry we missed you. What can we help with?" They know someone's on it.
  2. Their questions get answered

    It answers common questions like your hours and service area, asks what they need and how urgent it is, and can put them on your calendar or send you their info. Urgent calls get texted to you right away.
  3. No one's left hanging

    If a customer goes quiet, follow-ups go out at 2, 24 and 72 hours. They stop as soon as the customer replies or you mark it handled.

Every call gets sorted as hot, warm, spam or existing job, and each week you get a summary of your calls. You keep your number and your calendar, with nothing new to learn. Live within 14 days, or your money back.

Who's behind this

I'm George Contreras, and I'm based in Los Angeles. I set it up and run it for you myself. When you sign up, you deal with me directly, not a call center. Call (323) 536-1899 and I pick up.

Common questions

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Your customers call the same number they always have. Missed calls forward to a line we set up.

Will the texts say something wrong?

It only uses answers you approve. Anything it isn't sure about gets handed to you by text.

Can it book into my calendar?

Yes. It can book into Google Calendar, Outlook, or a booking calendar we set up for you. Or it just texts you the details and you book it yourself.

How long does setup take?

Within 14 days. Phone companies have to approve the texting line first. We handle that, so you don't have to.

What's the guarantee exactly?

If your text-back isn't live within 14 days of signing up, we refund everything you've paid: setup and monthly. No results or job counts are promised; the guarantee is that your text-back is working on time.

Is there a contract?

90 days to start, then month-to-month.
