Missed-Call Text-Back for Ontario Service Businesses
Missed-call text-back sends an instant text message with your booking link whenever a call goes unanswered, so the caller can book or reply while they are still looking for someone to hire. SeoMation sets it up for contractors, clinics, salons, driving schools and other local service businesses in Ontario.
Calls go unanswered while you are busy working.
On a job, with a patient or serving another customer, you cannot always pick up. Callers who reach voicemail often try the next business on their list. Missed-call text-back gives them an immediate next step instead of silence.
- A text shortly after the callA short message with your booking link, sent after the call goes unanswered.
- A clear next stepThe caller can book online or reply with what they need.
- Your name on itThe message uses your business name and wording.
- One text per callerRepeat texts are blocked within a set time window.
How it works.
Forward unanswered calls
Unanswered calls are forwarded from your existing number to a dedicated line, so your public number does not change.
Send the text
The caller receives your message with a link to your online booking calendar.
Prevent duplicates
The same number is not texted again within a set window.
Log everything
Each missed call and text is recorded, so follow-up does not depend on memory.
Who it is for.
Contractors and trades
HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing crews are on a job and cannot answer every call.
Clinics and salons
Staff are with a client or patient when the phone rings.
Driving schools and appointment businesses
Instructors are in the car, not at the desk.
Set up properly from day one.
Automated texts are covered by Canadian rules such as CASL and by carrier requirements, and some carriers limit call forwarding while voicemail is on. We check your carrier during setup and write the message as a reply to a call the customer just made. We recommend confirming your specific obligations with a lawyer.
- Carrier checkWe confirm forwarding works with your carrier before launch.
- Message approvalYou approve the wording before it goes out.
- Test callsWe test with real call scenarios before it goes live.
Questions we hear.
What is missed-call text-back?
An automatic text message sent to a caller whose call went unanswered, usually with a link to book an appointment or send details.
Do I need to change my phone number?
No. Unanswered calls are forwarded from your existing number to a dedicated line, so your public number stays the same. Some carriers limit this while voicemail is on, so we confirm with your carrier first.
Will it text the same person repeatedly?
No. A caller is texted once within a set time window.
Does it work for businesses that take appointments?
Yes. The text carries your booking link, so it suits any business that takes appointments or quote requests.
How is it priced?
It is available on its own or as part of our packages. See the Packages page for what each option includes.
Can SeoMation guarantee more bookings?
No. We cannot guarantee call volume, bookings or revenue. We report real numbers from your calls and bookings.
