The Problem They Couldn't Outwork.

The owner of this Central NJ HVAC company had built a solid reputation over 7 years. His Google reviews were decent, his technicians were good, and his existing customers loved him. But growth had flatlined. He knew leads were coming in โ€” but he kept losing them before they could book.

// Challenge 01

The owner and his dispatcher were the only two people answering phones. On weekends and after 5pm, calls went to voicemail โ€” and 80% of those callers never left a message. Competitors were picking up those jobs.

// Challenge 02

The owner was running Facebook ads but had no system to follow up on the leads they generated. Leads would fill out a form, wait a day for a callback, and book someone else in the meantime.

// Challenge 03

His Google rating sat at 3.8 stars โ€” not bad, but not enough to stand out. He knew happy customers existed but had no process to consistently collect reviews after jobs.

// Challenge 04

No pipeline visibility. The owner had no idea how many leads came in each week, what his close rate was, or how much revenue was sitting in open estimates. He was running blind.

// Before & After

What Changed in 90 Days.

The same business. The same team. The same trucks. A completely different system underneath.

Extra headcount required

  • Missed calls sent to voicemail โ€” 80% of callers never leave a message and call a competitor instead

  • Facebook ad leads sit in a spreadsheet for 24โ€“48 hours before anyone follows up

  • No follow-up system โ€” leads who don't book immediately are never contacted again

  • Reviews collected manually and inconsistently โ€” 3.8 stars on Google

  • No pipeline dashboard โ€” no idea what's in the funnel or what it's worth

  • No-show rate of 28% โ€” confirmation and reminder process entirely manual

  • Close rate: 31% โ€” good work but poor follow-through on warm leads

Before Precision Automation

  • Every missed call triggers an instant SMS text-back within 60 seconds โ€” 47% reply rate, 29% convert to booked jobs

  • Facebook and Google LSA leads receive an automated response in under 60 seconds, 24/7 including weekends

  • 7-touch nurture sequence fires automatically โ€” email Day 1, SMS Day 2, email Day 4, SMS Day 7 โ€” recovering 19% of leads that didn't book on first contact

  • Post-job review requests sent automatically via SMS and email โ€” 63% review rate, 4.9 stars on Google

  • Real-time revenue dashboard shows open pipeline, close rate, and booked revenue updated live

  • Automated booking confirmations + 24hr and 1hr reminders โ€” no-show rate dropped to 9%

  • Close rate: 61% โ€” same quality of work, dramatically better lead follow-through

// THE REVENUE LEAK

What We Built for This Client.

Six integrated systems deployed inside GoHighLevel, fully configured for residential HVAC operations and live within 48 hours.

We launched and optimized Google LSA campaigns targeting "AC repair," "HVAC near me," and "furnace replacement" across Middlesex and Monmouth County โ€” the highest-intent, lowest-cost leads available to HVAC businesses.

Missed Call Text-Back
