The call you miss while you're on a job is booking your competitor. LeadLock installs a system that catches every missed call, texts the customer back in seconds, and follows up until the job books — so it books with you instead of the next contractor on Google. It's the front door to the whole marketing machine we set up and manage for you — the same way we grow our own home-services company.
Built by operators who run their own home-services company · No long-term contracts
Your hands are full on a job site or it's after hours — so the call goes unanswered. Most of those callers don't leave a voicemail. They just dial the next name on the list, and the first contractor to pick up gets the job.
Figures are rounded industry averages aggregated from published home-services and lead-response studies (including the Harvard Business Review / MIT lead-response research), shown for illustration. Your own numbers depend on your trade, market and call volume.
Move the sliders to match your shop. This is a quick estimate for illustration — not a guarantee — but it shows the size of the leak.

Illustrative estimate based on the inputs you choose and rounded industry averages. Actual results vary by trade, market, offer and season. Not a guarantee of results, revenue or savings.
This is the missed-call machine — the piece most contractors plug in first, running on your existing number. Click through what each part does, then see the full marketing machine we can run for you below.
The second a call goes unanswered, LeadLock texts the caller from your business number — before they've dialed the next contractor. It asks one simple question they can answer in three words, which is exactly what keeps them talking to you.
After hours, on a ladder, or three calls deep — the AI receptionist keeps the conversation going. It answers common questions, captures the job details, and hands you a ready-to-book lead instead of a dead voicemail.
Whether a lead comes from a missed call, a form, or an ad, LeadLock follows up fast — automatically — while the customer is still holding their phone. Then it keeps nudging on a schedule so warm leads don't die in an inbox nobody watches.
Illustrative — the point is the shape, not the exact percentages.
You've got hundreds of old quotes and past customers sitting cold in your contacts. We run a short, compliant text-and-email sequence to the ones you already have a relationship with — and book jobs from a list you already own.
"Pay only when it books a job" describes the pricing, not a promised number of jobs. Reactivation only runs after the agreement is signed and messaging consent is in place.
Every month you get a simple report: calls we caught that would've been missed, conversations started, and jobs booked. No dashboards to log into — just the number, so you can see exactly what the system is doing for you.
The missed-call text-back is the wedge. Behind it is the whole machine we install to grow a contracting business: get found, capture every lead, follow up until it books, and manage it all in one place. Turn on what you need, when you need it.
The traffic side — the same channels that fill our own pipeline.
We build, launch and manage your paid ads — the same ad system that fed our own shop. Ad spend billed separately.
Show up when someone nearby searches your trade — Google Business Profile, on-page SEO and local listings.
A fast, mobile-first site built to book jobs — designed, built, hosted and kept online for you.
Consistent, done-for-you faceless posts on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok that keep your name in front of local homeowners.
The catch layer — nothing that calls or clicks goes unanswered.
Every unanswered call gets a text back in seconds, from your number, before they dial the next contractor.
Answers common questions, captures the job details, and hands you a ready lead when you can't pick up.
New leads from any source get worked automatically within minutes — while the customer is still holding their phone.
Landing pages and short quizzes that turn ad clicks and site visitors into contact details you own.
The conversion layer — warm leads don't die in an inbox nobody checks.
Automated text and email sequences that keep nudging warm leads until they book — or reply STOP.
Leads book straight onto your calendar — no phone tag — with reminders that cut down no-shows.
A compliant text-and-email campaign to your old quotes and past customers — jobs from a list you already own.
Seasonal offers and stay-in-touch emails to your list, so you're the name they call next time.
The engine room — one place to see everything and keep it improving.
One dashboard for every lead, conversation and job — set up, organized into a pipeline, and managed for you.
Automatic review requests after the job and a simple way to handle feedback, so your star rating climbs.
A plain-English monthly report — calls caught, leads worked and jobs booked. The number, not a maze of dashboards.
The behind-the-scenes automations that tie it all together, so the machine runs without you babysitting it.
These are services we set up, run and manage — not a promise of a specific number of leads, jobs or revenue. Ad spend for paid channels is billed separately by the ad platforms. Reactivation and any outbound messaging run only after your agreement is signed and messaging consent is in place.

You don't need another giant CRM or a full-time office. You need the calls answered. Here's how LeadLock stacks up against the usual options.
| LeadLock | Answering service | DIY GoHighLevel | Doing nothing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Answers missed calls in seconds, 24/7 | Yes | Business hours, if staffed | If you wire it yourself | No |
| Sounds like your business, not a stranger | Yes | Reads a generic script | You configure it | — |
| Set up & monitored for you | Yes | Partly | You maintain it | — |
| Runs on your existing number | Yes | New line / forwarding | With setup | — |
| Your weekends | Free | Free | Wiring webhooks | Free |
| Monthly cost | One flat retainer | Per-minute, adds up | Software + your time | Lost jobs |
Comparison reflects the typical tradeoffs of each option; specific providers vary. "Doing nothing" means the calls you miss today keep going to voicemail.
We run our own home-services company — a commercial coatings contractor — and we got tired of good leads slipping away between jobs and after hours. Our own paid ads brought in roughly 1,270 leads at about $41–50 per lead — that’s our acquisition cost, in our own shop. Then we built the machine we now install for you: it catches every call, texts the customer back in seconds, and keeps the follow-up going until they book — so leads like those don’t slip away.
The $41–50 is our own paid-ads cost per lead — an acquisition number, not what the catch-and-follow-up machine produced. It’s not a promise of what any other business will get. Results vary.
Every plan is month to month with no long-term contract — cancel anytime. Start with the free report, then add the machine one layer at a time.

No. LeadLock sits before the job exists — it catches and answers the call, then hands you a ready lead. It runs alongside whatever you use to schedule and invoice.
It's set up in your business's own words and kept simple — a quick, natural text conversation, not a stiff script. You approve how it talks before it ever goes live.

No. Most contractors start with the free report, then the Catch plan to stop missing calls. You add ads, follow-up, reviews, a website and the rest whenever you're ready. Turn on what you need, when you need it — and drop what you don't.
No. Your monthly plan covers us building and managing the machine. What you spend on Meta or Google ads is billed separately by those platforms and goes straight to them — you set the budget, and it's always your money, not ours.
