Stop Losing Customers to Missed Calls

When a customer calls and you can't answer, we text them back automatically — before they call your competitor. Setup in 24 hours.

Serving Thibodaux • Houma • Lafayette • Baton Rouge & all of South Louisiana

Sound Familiar?

You're on a job and the phone rings — you can't answer.

By the time you check voicemail, they've already called the next guy.

Every missed call is a job that went to a competitor.

There's a better way.

Never Miss a Lead Again

Three steps. No new phone number for you. No new app to learn.

1

We Set Up Your Text-Back Line

We provision a dedicated business SMS number on your behalf and configure the auto-reply system. You keep your existing phone number — nothing changes for your customers.

2

You Forward Missed Calls to Us

A one-time star code on your existing phone (we'll walk you through it — takes 30 seconds). When you can't answer, the call rolls to our system. When you can answer, nothing changes.

3

Customers Get an Instant Text

Within 30 seconds, the caller gets a text from your business: "Sorry we missed you — what can we help with?" You get a notification with their number. The conversation continues by text on your terms.

No contracts. No deposits. No new phone number to learn. Just stop losing leads.

What's Included

Missed-Call Text-Back

Every unanswered call gets a friendly automatic text from your business within 30 seconds. The caller knows you'll get back to them — so they don't call your competitor. Includes a dedicated business number, owner alerts, and carrier compliance handled for you.

Starting at $99/month

Content That Sells

We write the copy. Service descriptions, about text, calls-to-action — all crafted to turn visitors into customers.

Owner Alerts

Every missed call sends you a text instantly with the caller's number, so you can follow up the moment you're free. No app required.

Done-For-You Setup

We handle carrier registration, A2P compliance, message templates, and forwarding setup. You forward your calls once — we do everything else.

Coming soon: Optional add-ons for automatic review requests, appointment reminders, and after-hours scheduling. Ask us about your roadmap.

Local. Technical. Hands-On.

I'm Chris, and I'm based right here in Thibodaux. I come from a development background — technical, not a salesperson. I built South Louisiana Automation because every local service business I knew was losing money to missed calls and didn't have an easy fix. You deal directly with me — no account managers, no offshore call centers, no upsell scripts.

Common Questions

No. You keep your existing business number — the one on your truck, your signs, your Google profile. We give you a backup number that catches missed calls only. Your customers never see it; they still call your regular number like always.
Once we have your business info and you forward your calls with a star code, you're live the same day. Carrier compliance (A2P 10DLC) sometimes takes 1–3 days but is included — no work on your end.
You approve the wording. Default: "Hi, this is [Your Business] — sorry we missed your call! What can we help with? Reply here and we'll get back to you ASAP. Reply STOP to opt out." We can customize the tone, hours, and follow-up message to fit your business.
Their reply gets forwarded straight to your cell phone as a regular text. You text them back like you'd text anyone else — no app, no login. The conversation happens at your pace.
30 days notice and you're done. No cancellation fees. We turn off the forwarding, you go back to how it was before. If you ever want to come back, we can have you live again the same day.
Whenever you can't answer. After hours, on the job, in a meeting, driving — if the call rolls over, the auto-text fires. You can also configure it to only work during specific hours if you prefer.
