The short answer

A plumber misses leads for one reason: the enquiry arrives while both hands are busy. By the time you ring back, the customer has booked whoever answered first.

An AI agent answers for you. It replies within minutes, finds out what the job is, and books the visit or the callback.

What the agent does with a plumbing enquiry

Replies straight away. From your website form, your email or WhatsApp, at any hour.

Asks the questions you would ask. What the problem is, where the property is, when the customer is free, and whether there is a photo.

Books the visit. It puts the job in your diary and sends a confirmation and a reminder.

Chases your quotes. Every quote you send gets followed up until the customer says yes or no.

His website lists this work among the jobs his agents do: replying to new enquiries within minutes, day or night; following up every lead until they book or say no; sending quotes and nudging the unanswered ones; booking jobs straight into your diary.

What it must never do

It must not diagnose a fault, price a job nobody has seen, or give safety advice. A burst pipe, a flood or a smell of gas needs a person and a phone that is answered. A sensible setup spots those words and passes the customer straight to you.

What to set up first

Start with the first reply. It is where most plumbing work is lost and it is the easiest thing to measure: count the enquiries that got an answer within ten minutes before and after. Add quote chasing second, then reminders.

Is it worth it for a one-van business?

Often more than for a bigger firm, because there is nobody in an office to pick up. It is worth less if nearly all your work comes from one contractor or from regulars who ring your mobile.

What it costs

There is no published price list. The cost depends on what is automated and is given after a free first call, with no obligation to go ahead.
