Kenect's idea is right: your customers don't pick up anymore, but they read their texts — so you might as well text from the landline they already know. Around that channel, they add WebChat, video and automated review requests that deliver. For a local business with a team and a real reputation surface to manage, it's a coherent platform.
It is a platform, precisely: several hundred dollars per month per location, on quote, with missed-call recovery as just one feature on the list. If your problem #1 is the call ringing into the void at 7 PM, paying for a whole set to get one brick is a luxury. Our cut: a flat $149, <10 s text-back with AI qualification and booking — and nothing else to manage.
