Missed-call text back

The call you missed just called someone else.

How it works

Forward your number once. Everything after that is automatic.

Your customers keep calling the same number they always have. Nothing about how you answer the phone changes — Sitently only steps in when nobody picks up.

  1. Someone calls, nobody answers

    Your line rings like it always does. If it goes unanswered, that's Sitently's cue — no voicemail, no lost lead.

  2. They get a text in seconds

    Before they've moved on to the next search result, they have a message asking what they need help with.

  3. A real conversation happens

    Sitently asks about what they need the way a good front-desk person would, then offers open times that actually exist on your calendar.

  4. It books, then reminds

    The appointment lands on your calendar once they confirm, and they get a reminder text the day it's scheduled.

Who we work with

Built for businesses that book appointments and answer the phone all day.

If a missed call means a lost customer, Sitently is for you. Our clients are small and mid-sized service businesses across the United States, typically with one to twenty employees and no dedicated receptionist.

  1. Home & trade services

    Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, landscaping, pest control, garage doors — anyone dispatching techs to a customer's address.

  2. Auto & repair

    Repair shops, body shops, tire and glass, custom builders. Everyone in the bay is under a car when the phone rings.

  3. Health, beauty & wellness

    Salons, barbers, med spas, dental and chiropractic offices, massage and physical therapy — appointment-driven, and busy with the client in the chair.

  4. Professional services

    Law offices, accountants, insurance agents, consultants, and anyone whose first conversation with a client starts with a phone call.

What you get

What's included

Every client gets the whole system. There is no version of this where you get half of it.

  1. A dedicated business number

    We provision a phone number for your business and configure it. You keep the number you already advertise — nothing on your signs, trucks, or Google listing changes.

  2. Automated text-back

    Any call that goes unanswered gets a text within seconds, identifying your business and asking what the customer needs.

  3. Conversational scheduling

    The assistant asks about the job the way your front desk would, offers times that are genuinely open on your calendar, and books the appointment once the customer confirms.

  4. Appointment reminders

    A reminder text on the day of the appointment, so fewer people forget to show up.

  5. Your own dashboard

    Sign in any time to read every conversation the assistant had, see what customers were asking for, and track how many missed calls turned into booked work.

  6. Setup and support

    We handle configuration, connect your calendar, and walk you through it. If something looks wrong, you talk to a person.

Getting started

How it works commercially

  1. 1 · Consultation

    We talk about how your phones work today, how many calls you're missing, and what your scheduling looks like. No charge for this.

  2. 2 · Setup

    We provision your number, connect your calendar, write the assistant's instructions around your services, and test the whole flow before it touches a real customer. One-time setup fee, quoted after the consultation.

  3. 3 · Ongoing service

    A flat monthly fee covers the number, the messaging, the assistant, your dashboard, and support. Quoted based on your call volume. No long-term contract.
