Discover how to leverage AI to help local businesses capture missed calls, convert them into revenue, and boost their growth - all while building a profitable side hustle for yourself. This step-by-step guide reveals a simple system that anyone can implement, even without prior experience.

How to Demonstrate the Real Value of the Missed Call Text Back to Local Businesses

It's called the missed call text back ROI calculator. Here's how it works:

You sit down with a local business owner and ask a few simple questions:

  • What's the average value of one new client for them?
  • How many calls do they think they're missing per week?
  • If they got on the phone, how many of those could they typically close?

Let's say they tell you:

  • Each client brings in around $500
  • They estimate they're missing 20 calls a week
  • They usually close about 35% of those

You plug those numbers in - that's their data, not yours. Then you show them the results. They immediately see how much business is slipping through the cracks.

At this point, the conversation shifts. You're no longer selling them anything - you're showing them how to stop losing customers they already worked hard to get. They're usually ready to move forward.

And if you're thinking "But I don't even have a website, how can I look like a real business?" Don't worry. We've already built out a complete professional website template you can clone and customize. Just add your logo, connect your domain, and you're set.

How to Set Up the Missed Call Text Back Feature

First, we'll head over to the software since this system is tied to the business's Google My Business profile. The first step is simple - have the business owner log in using their GMB account. They'll just click "Connect," enter their email and password like they would for any other login, and it will automatically sync their business information into the platform.

Once it's connected, we go into the settings and scroll down to make sure the "Missed Call Text Back" option is enabled. It's usually checked by default, but it doesn't hurt to double-check.

Here's how it works: If someone calls and the business can't answer, an automatic text is instantly sent out. The message might say something like "Hi, this is [business name], sorry we missed your call. How can we help you?" You can fully customize this message if the business owner wants to add their own personal touch.

Once that's done, just click "Save," and the feature is live. Remember, this software is fully white-labeled, so you can brand it with your own logo, link it to your domain, and connect your payment processor. That means when you're charging clients $297 per month, 100% of that goes directly into your bank account - there are no commissions or revenue splits, unlike affiliate marketing.

How to Leverage Conversation AI to Automate Responses and Book More Appointments

Now let's tackle the next big question: what happens if the customer replies to that text? As an agency owner, you probably don't want to be glued to your phone answering every message, and neither does the plumber or massage therapist who missed the call in the first place. That's where the AI comes in.

We turn on a feature called Conversation AI, which allows automated responses across multiple channels: SMS, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, your website's chat widget, and more. You simply toggle the platforms you want the AI to monitor, click save, and then it's time to train the bot.

Here's how: Grab the business's website URL, paste it into the bot training field, and click "Get Data." The AI will scan and absorb all the content on the site, building a knowledge base it can use to answer questions. Most small businesses get asked the same 5-6 questions repeatedly, so you can manually add frequently asked questions too. For example, "What services do you offer?" - "Toilet repairs, water heater installations, sink and bathtub fixes."

Once added, test the bot by typing a question like "What services do you offer?" and it'll pull real, accurate answers based on the site and FAQs. If you're happy with the answer, give it a thumbs up. If not, give it a thumbs down and update it with a better response. Then, just click "Train Bot." That's it. The AI will now handle incoming questions automatically, 24/7, so neither you nor the business owner has to lift a finger.
