Missed-Call Rescue is a done-for-you setup service that texts your missed callers back in under 60 seconds, with your booking link, for home-service businesses.
One job: when you can't pick up, we make sure the caller still becomes a customer.
The moment a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a text from your business. Daytime and after-hours versions are written in your shop's voice, so customers feel helped, not auto-replied. Our guarantee is simple: under a minute, every time, or your money back.
We provision a local business number in your area code and connect it to your main line with conditional call-forwarding, so unanswered calls route to the text-back automatically. Your personal cell stays personal, and customers always see a business number.
Every text carries your booking link (Calendly, Jobber, Housecall Pro, or a simple form), so a missed call turns into a booked job without you lifting a finger. After-hours messages point to next-day availability or your waitlist. No booking link yet? We set up a tap-to-request-a-callback reply instead.
Each morning you get a short digest: who called, what they said, and whether they booked. You start the day knowing exactly which jobs were saved overnight instead of wondering what voicemail you missed.
We enable MMS so callers can text you a photo of the problem: the leak, the broken unit, the damage. You can quote faster and show up prepared, which is often the difference between winning and losing the job.
Plenty of tools can send a text. Here's why owners pick us instead.
Missed-Call Rescue is $497 one-time ($297 for our first three founding customers). Compare that with GoHighLevel's $97/month Starter plan, which is $1,164 a year before usage fees, or Podium at roughly $399/month per location. You pay once for the build, and the only ongoing cost is your own carrier bill at cost.
Everything is set up in an account you own, in your business name. If you ever leave, you take your number, your message history, and your contacts with you. With subscription platforms like GoHighLevel or Podium, your messaging lives inside their billing: stop paying and the whole system goes dark.
We provision the number, write the replies in your voice, wire in your booking link, configure forwarding, handle carrier registration, and test it with you on a live call. Tools like GoHighLevel and CallRail are powerful dashboards with a help center. We hand you a working system.
If any missed call doesn't get a text back within a minute during your first 14 days, you get a full refund. No software subscription offers that, because software doesn't promise outcomes. We do, because we build and verify the whole thing ourselves.
Most text-back tools send a generic "sorry we missed you." Ours books the job: booking link in every message, an after-hours variant that captures next-day demand, instant alerts to your phone, and a morning summary of every rescued lead. It is a lead-recovery system, not an autoresponder.
Built for the businesses that lose jobs while they're on a job.
Trevor, founder. Trevor is a San Diego marketing professional with over 10 years of experience helping businesses grow. He has spent his career watching small businesses win or lose on the basics: answer fast, follow up, and make it easy to buy.
Why this exists. Missed-Call Rescue started after Trevor watched good home-service businesses lose five-figure jobs to voicemail while they were on a roof or under a sink. The technology to fix it already existed, but nobody was packaging it as a simple done-for-you service with a flat price. So he built it.
There is no support queue and no account manager rotation. When you email rescuemissedcalls@gmail.com, Trevor answers. The business is intentionally small: one person who builds every system himself and stands behind every one.
No meetings required. No homework beyond a 10-minute form.
After checkout you fill out a short onboarding form: business name, trade, hours, booking link, your cell for instant alerts, and the tone you want (friendly, straight-to-business, funny). That's the entire ask on your end.
We provision your local business number, write your daytime and after-hours replies, wire in your booking link, set up call-forwarding from your main line, and start carrier registration. The clock starts when your form is submitted, not when you pay.
Before handoff, we place test calls and confirm the text lands in under a minute, replies route to your inbox, and photos come through. You do a test call yourself so you've seen it work with your own eyes. Then it's live.
Missed callers get texts, you get instant alerts and a morning summary, and replies land in an app on your phone. Questions go to rescuemissedcalls@gmail.com and get answered by the person who built your system. Care-plan members also get a monthly "jobs rescued" report and seasonal message refreshes.

GoHighLevel sells you a $97/month platform (plus usage) and you configure the feature yourself. Missed-Call Rescue is a $497 one-time done-for-you build: we set up the number, write the messages, wire in your booking link, and guarantee the outcome for 14 days. If you love dashboards, GoHighLevel is great. If you want it handled, that's us.
No. We set up a dedicated business number that works alongside your current one, typically through conditional call-forwarding, so unanswered calls route to the text-back automatically. Your personal cell stays personal.
Just your carrier bill for the business number, about $17-22/month, paid directly to the carrier in an account you own. There is no required subscription to us. The optional $49/month care plan adds monitoring, seasonal message refreshes, and a monthly jobs-rescued report.
Then the reply offers a tap-to-request-a-callback instead, and you get instantly alerted so you can ring them back between jobs. When you're ready to add online booking, we wire it in.
No. The setup is a one-time fee and the care plan is month-to-month. Cancel anytime; the core system keeps working because you own the account and the number.
If the system fails to text back any missed call within a minute during your first 14 days live, you get a full refund. On day 14 we review the logs with you and send a recap of every rescued lead.
Founding rate: $297 one-time for the first 3 customers. Then $497.
