The Math

How it pays for itself

We don’t ask you to take our word for it. Here’s what the numbers look like for businesses like yours — based on industry benchmarks and real-world results.

Capture

Plumbing

The situation

  • Two-truck plumbing operation gets about 20 inquiries a month
  • Owner is on jobs all day and misses 5–8 of those calls
  • The leads call the next plumber

After automation

  • AI voice agent answers when the owner can’t — knows the service area, common jobs, and pricing ballparks
  • Books emergency calls into the calendar and texts the owner a summary
  • Missed calls get an instant text-back with a booking link

5–8 extra jobs a month at the same advertising spend. At an average $400 job, that’s $2,000–$3,200 in recovered revenue per month — Capture’s $2,500 setup pays for itself in roughly 4–6 weeks.

Capture’s review automation

HVAC

The situation

  • HVAC contractor does excellent work but has only 12 Google reviews after 5 years in business
  • They never ask — customers forget
  • Local SEO suffers

After automation

  • When a job is marked complete, the system automatically texts the customer asking for a Google review — with the direct link
  • If they don’t review in 3 days, it sends one polite reminder
  • The owner gets a monthly report showing review velocity

Going from 12 reviews to 35+ in 6 months typically moves a business from page 2 of local search to the top 3 results. Industry data suggests businesses with 30+ reviews and a 4.5+ rating see 25–35% more inbound calls than those with under 15 reviews. For an HVAC operation, that’s the difference between a slow week and a booked week.

Warm-list SMS reactivation

Roofing

The situation

  • Roofing contractor has 800 old leads in a spreadsheet — quotes that never closed, customers from 2 years ago, dormant inquiries
  • No system to bring them back

After automation

  • We set up a CASL-compliant templated SMS — “Hey [name], it’s [business]. Spring’s here, want us to take a look at your roof before storm season? Reply STOP to opt out.”
  • The campaign goes out in batches
  • Replies route to the lead CRM

A typical campaign of 500 dormant contacts gets 25–40 replies, of which 5–10 turn into actual jobs. At a $4,000 average roofing job, even 3 closed jobs from one campaign more than pays for the $300 setup — usually 10x or better. Run it 4 times a year.

Connect

Electrical contractor on Jobber

The situation

  • 4-person electrical contractor uses Jobber for jobs and dispatch
  • Most calls go to voicemail when crews are on site
  • Owner wants to fix that without throwing out Jobber and starting over

After automation

  • AI voice agent integrates with Jobber via API
  • Looks customers up in Jobber, recognizes them by name if they’re existing, and creates a new lead record back in Jobber if they’re not
  • Owner gets a workflow tuning sprint — intake routing, escalation rules, follow-up cadence — all inside their existing Jobber setup

Catching 70–80% of previously missed calls plus tighter Jobber workflows. At typical electrical-contractor job value ($600 average), 4–6 recovered calls per month equals $2,400–$3,600. Connect at $3,500 pays for itself in 4–6 weeks, plus the FSM workflow improvements compound over time.

Capture + End-of-day digest

Multi-trade contractor

The situation

  • General contractor runs three crews across plumbing, HVAC, and small electrical
  • Calls, texts, and form submissions come in all day from multiple sources
  • Owner ends each evening unsure what got handled and what slipped

After automation

  • Every weekday at 6pm, the owner gets a one-page text or email
  • Calls received, leads captured, bookings made, messages awaiting reply, and tomorrow’s action items — pulled from the lead CRM

Surfacing 8–12 follow-ups per week that would otherwise have slipped. Even a 25% conversion of those equals 2–3 extra jobs per week. The $600 add-on (one-time) pays for itself in the first month for any contractor with steady call volume.
