What happens when you miss a call
Missed call text back, in under 5 seconds. One engine catches the leads you're about to lose. The other turns finished jobs into reviews.
- 01
The call rings out
You're on a job. Carrier forwarding sends only the calls you don't answer to CallCovered.
- 02
They get your text
In under 5 seconds, from your business number, before they call the next contractor on the list.
- 03
Their reply hits your cell
A normal text. Reply from your phone and it goes out from your business number.
- 04
No reply? A follow-up
Lead Rescue sends up to two follow-ups, then stops. It stops the moment they write back.
5-Second Lead Rescue
Plenty of callers who can't reach you won't leave a voicemail. They call the next contractor on the list. CallCovered texts them back from your own business number the instant a call is missed, before they get that far.
- Detects the missed call and fires an auto-text in under 5 seconds
- Sent from your existing business number, so there's no new number to give out
- Automatically sends up to two follow-up texts if the caller doesn't reply, then stops
- Every reply routes straight to your personal cell phone, in real time

Google Review Engine
Google says review count and rating are part of how it ranks local businesses. CallCovered turns a finished job into a review request with one text from you, so you don't need an app or a clipboard.
- Trigger it with one text: REVIEW (customer's number) (their name)
- Customer gets a friendly, personalized SMS with a direct link to your Google review page
- No manual follow-up, spreadsheets, or third-party review software
- Keeps fresh reviews coming in, which Google counts toward local ranking

Why contractors ditch answering services and CRMs for this
Your own number texts back faster, with no scripts, logins or per-minute billing.
| Compare | Traditional Answering Service | Complex CRMs | CallCovered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | Billed per minute or per call, so busy months cost more | Usually priced per seat, often with paid add-ons | $129/mo flat, all-inclusive |
| Speed to lead | Depends on staffing & hold time | You still have to call back | Auto text-back in under 5 seconds |
| Who talks to your customer | A stranger reading a script | Still you. The CRM doesn't call | Your number, your name, your words |
| App or software to learn | Portal + call logs to check | Daily logins, pipeline stages | Zero apps. It's just texting |
| Where replies land | Buried in a third-party app | Inside the CRM inbox | Directly on your personal cell |
| Built-in Google Review Engine | Not offered | Usually a paid add-on | Included on every plan |
| Keep your existing number | Often requires porting | Usually yes | Simple carrier call forwarding. We walk you through it |
| Contract | Annual contracts common | Annual contracts common | Month-to-month, cancel anytime |
One price. Every feature.
Both plans include every feature. The only difference is who does the setup. Month-to-month, no contract.
Self-Serve
$0 setup fee
Everything included. Set it up yourself in an afternoon.
Start Self-ServeYour first month refunded if the system captures zero leads in your first 30 days live (forwarding must be verified working; one refund per customer; see Terms).
Done-For-You
+ $99 one-time setup
We build it, check your carrier registration before it's filed, and hand it over ready to run.
Get Done-For-YouYour $99 setup fee refunded instead of the first month, under the same 30-day zero-leads guarantee (one refund per customer; see Terms).

Yes. Every plan includes both. There's no add-on fee to unlock the Google Review Engine and no separate tier for follow-up texts. You get both engines from day one.
Voicemail to text: callers can leave a message after the text-back, and you get it written out by text with a link to play it. Text commands: text CALL to your CallCovered number and we connect you to your last customer from your business number, REMIND Tue 2pm to send them an appointment reminder, or PAY 350 to text them your own payment link. You also get a Monday summary of last week's missed calls and replies, and a monthly report. All included, no add-on fees.
Yes. Either plan can be billed monthly, every 6 months, or annually. Prepay 6 months and you get 6 for the price of 5; prepay a year and you get 12 for the price of 10. Self-Serve works out to $107.50/mo either way. Prepaid terms are billed once, renew at the same rate, and you can cancel any time before the renewal. The 30-day guarantee still applies: zero leads captured in your first 30 days live and the whole prepayment is refunded.
No. You keep the number you already advertise on your trucks, signs, invoices, and Google. CallCovered works through simple conditional call forwarding (we give you the exact codes for your carrier), so unanswered calls route to us automatically and your number never changes. Note that only forwarded calls reach the system; texts sent to your old number won't.
No apps and no software. The missed-call text-back, the review requests, and your replies all happen over standard SMS on the phone you already carry. If your team can send a text, they already know how to use it.
You control the rules. Set custom after-hours and weekend messaging so callers get an appropriate response any time they reach out, and you decide what happens next, whether that's a callback promise, your hours, or routing to an on-call number.
U.S. carriers require businesses sending automated texts to register through A2P 10DLC, which typically needs your EIN and basic business details. On either plan you fill in one short registration form after signup. On Self-Serve it goes to the carriers when you finish. On Done-For-You we audit your information and your website for carrier compliance before we submit, and tell you if anything needs fixing. Carrier review takes 1 to 2 weeks, sometimes sooner. There is a full plain-English explainer at /a2p-10dlc-for-contractors if you want the detail.
Everything stops when the account is cancelled: text-back, voicemail, replies to your phone, text commands, reminders, follow-ups and reports. The CallCovered number stays with CallCovered. If you want to keep it, ask before you cancel or within 30 days after, and we transfer it to your new carrier for a one-time $99 fee. If you forwarded your own business number to us, that number was always yours; just turn the forwarding off with your carrier.
