AnswerLoop rescues missed calls for owner-operated home-service businesses (plumbing, HVAC, roofing, electrical, pest control, garage doors) by automatically texting callers back with qualifying questions when the owner can't pick up the phone. Instead of a lost customer, the owner gets a completed intake and a booked job. The service handles carrier registration and SMS setup; the owner installs the phone number and answers texts as they come in—no technical configuration needed.

One booked job often pays for months of service. AnswerLoop is built for the 1–10 tech owner-operator where the owner is also the receptionist, and where every missed call is real revenue walking out the door.

What we're building

AnswerLoop — a missed-call rescue and lead follow-up service for owner-operated home-service businesses (plumbing, HVAC, roofing, electrical, pest control, garage doors). When the owner can't answer the phone, the caller gets a text back within seconds, three qualifying questions, and the business gets a booked job instead of a lost customer.

Who it's for

Owner-operators with 1–10 techs and no office staff answering phones — the businesses where the owner is also the receptionist, estimator and installer. One job is worth hundreds to thousands of dollars, and the phone is the entire sales funnel.

Status: hypothesis, still unverified demand. Our first ten owner conversations are the test. The site is live and the outreach kit is built.

Provide your business phone number and a list of three qualifying questions you ask every caller (e.g., address, service type, budget).
AnswerLoop will register your number with US carriers for SMS (7–10 business days) and set up the auto-reply workflow.
While carrier registration clears, we reply to your missed calls by hand; once approved, replies run fully automated.
You respond to incoming texts and book jobs as normal.
No setup fee for the first three clients; $199/month introductory rate thereafter.
