Lead follow-up

    Every lead gets an answer, even the ones you can’t get to

    When a lead comes in, the clock starts. Reputation Automation sets up automatic follow-up that replies to every new inquiry in seconds, alerts you right away, and keeps checking in over the next two weeks, so a lead that reaches out at 7pm is not forgotten by morning. Email is built in, SMS is an optional add-on, and the whole system runs for you. Then, once the job’s done, it asks your happy customers for a Google review, so the follow-up that wins the job also builds the reputation that wins the next one.

    How leads flow through your system

    Every form fill and chat conversation triggers this automated workflow.

    Lead comes in

    Someone submits a form on your site or messages your chat assistant.

    Logged in your dashboard

    The lead is saved to your dashboard the moment it arrives.

    You get an alert

    An instant email alert hits your inbox, with optional SMS so you know the second a lead is waiting.

    Lead gets an instant reply

    They receive an automatic ‘thanks, we’ll be in touch’ message so they know they reached a real business.

    Follow-up keeps going

    A timed sequence checks back in over the next two weeks so warm leads don’t go cold.

    Why this matters

    The owners who win local jobs aren’t the cheapest, they’re the fastest to reply.

    Reply in seconds, not hours

    The instant auto-reply means every lead hears back immediately, even when you’re on a job or asleep.

    You’re alerted the moment it lands

    An instant email alert, plus optional SMS, so you can call back while they’re still deciding.

    Fewer leads slip away

    Every inquiry is logged in one dashboard and worked by a follow-up sequence, so nothing dies in a forgotten voicemail.

    See what’s working

    Every lead and message is tracked in your dashboard, so you can see which sources turn into real jobs.

    Sample follow-up sequence

    Here’s an example sequence we set up for service businesses.

    Instant alert to you

    Immediately

    An email alert the moment a lead submits, with optional SMS to your phone.

    Auto-reply to the lead

    Immediately

    ‘Thanks for reaching out, we’ll be in touch shortly,’ sent automatically.

    Follow-up reminder to you

    24 hours later

    A nudge if a lead hasn’t been contacted in 24 hours.

    Helpful info email to the lead

    3 days later

    A short ‘what to expect / what to ask’ email while they wait.

    Social proof email

    7 days later

    A brief case study or review from a similar local business.

    Light check-in

    14 days later

    A low-key ‘still need help?’ to reopen the conversation.

    Note: the sequence is configured for your business. The core setup always includes the instant auto-reply to the lead and the instant email alert to you. Optional SMS alerts and longer nurture sequences are add-ons tailored to how you sell.

    Then it turns customers into reviews

    Following up wins the job. Reviews win the next ten. Once a job or appointment is marked complete, the system automatically asks that customer for a Google review at the moment they’re happiest, so your star rating climbs without you chasing anyone.

    Asks right after the job

    The review request fires automatically once a job or appointment is marked complete, while the experience is still fresh.

    Sends them straight to Google

    The request points customers to your Google profile, where reviews actually move your local ranking and win the click.

    Email-native, SMS optional

    Requests go out by email as standard, with optional SMS once it’s set up, so you’re never dependent on one channel.

    More reviews, better ranking

    A steady flow of fresh 5-star reviews is one of the strongest signals for showing up first in local search.
