Missed Call Text-Back Service
Set up GoHighLevel's missed call text-back feature for local businesses so that when a customer calls and the business doesn't answer, an automated text message is immediately sent to the caller. This captures leads that would otherwise be lost. Robin personally implemented this by walking into businesses on Main Street, installing it for free to prove value, then converting them to paying clients. The service is especially valuable for service businesses like plumbers, HVAC, and home services that miss calls while on jobs.
