Call Catcher · For local contractors

Missed-call text-back for local contractors — never lose a ~$350 job to voicemail again.

When a busy job keeps you off the phone, the lead calls the next contractor. Call Catcher forwards your unanswered calls, texts the caller back in about 30 seconds, and drops the lead straight on your phone — while it works alongside the dispatch and booking tools you already use.

more likely to reach & qualify the lead when you reply within 5 minutes (MIT lead-response study)

Figures from industry research on home-services lead response, including the MIT lead-response study. SMS also has about a 98% open rate, so a text back is far more likely to be seen than a voicemail. We don't have customer testimonials yet — we'd rather show you the math than a fake quote.

The cost of a missed call

Every unanswered ring is a job walking to your competitor

You're under a sink or up on a roof — you can't grab the phone. But the customer won't wait, and voicemail almost never gets a callback.

📞

Voicemail loses the lead

Industry research finds about 85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back. They just dial the next contractor on their list.

85% never call back

The first callback wins

About 78% of customers hire the first business that calls them back. On local jobs, speed beats price and reviews more often than not.

78% hire the first responder

The job walks out the door

One missed service call can be a few hundred dollars of work gone — and if it was a repeat customer, the next one too.

Real money, every miss

The math

One recovered job pays for the whole month, several times over

You don't need Call Catcher to save dozens of calls. Catch a single job you'd otherwise have lost and it has already paid for itself.

One average service job recovered ~$350
Call Catcher plan −$79/mo
That one job covers the plan ~4× over

Add it on — don't rip anything out

Call Catcher sits behind the phone you already answer. Because it only catches the calls you miss and handles the text-back, it runs alongside the dispatch, booking, and phone tools your crew already knows.

Keep your number, your dispatch board, and your booking app. We only handle the missed-call text-back — nothing else changes.
