Industry data shows 62% of calls to small contractors go unanswered, and 78% of homeowners hire the first contractor who responds. Missed-call text-back closes that gap on autopilot." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I customize the message?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes.
