Booked Out for plumbing shops

Get your plumbing shop booked out for weeks.

Every owner dreams of it: a full calendar, a phone that keeps ringing, the pick of the jobs, steady work and room to add a truck. That's why we're called Booked Out Solutions.

You quoted a water heater, a repipe or a sewer line. The customer said "let me think about it." Then you got busy. We write back for you, and help with the whole growth side of your shop, so you can focus on running your business. Everything we do is aimed at getting you booked out and keeping you there.

Here's one week on Booked Out Complete at Smith Plumbing, everything we do

Booked Out Solutions. Built to get your shop booked out.

  • Free one-page look at your own shop, in your inbox within 2 business days, then 2 free weeks of work on your shop. Nothing to pay, no obligation.
  • Your part: about 20 minutes, one time.
  • Everything by email. No sales calls. No long-term contract.

What we do for a plumbing shop

Everything in Booked Out Complete, done for you.

Far more than quote follow-up. This is our everything package. Each piece says what it is and what it means for you. Don't need everything? Smaller packages are available too.

Old quotes followed up

Every quote from the last 90 days gets a note from your shop that reads like you wrote it. New quotes get their first note within 48 hours. Your old paper pile becomes one clean list. A phone photo of it is enough.So jobs you already priced have a real chance to come back, and you don't chase anyone.

Every inquiry answered

A full answer the same day, in whatever language the customer wrote in.So you're answering while they're still choosing who to hire.

Every review replied to

Every recent customer is asked for a Google review. Every review gets a reply in your style.So people who look you up see an owner who cares.

Google profile fixed and posted on

Hours, services and towns filled in. A new post every week.So you look open and worth hiring when someone searches for a plumber.

Past customers reached

Customers who haven't booked in a while hear from you at the right time of year.So work you earned once can come back without ad money.

Website fixes and pages

Fixes to the site you have, with your quote form tested every week. No site? You get a free one-page site. On Complete you get a full website, up to 10 pages, built for your shop, with a quote request form on every page that sends new leads straight to you, and 2 new pages every month.So people who look you up find a real way to reach you.

Postcards and local outreach

100 postcards, custom designed for you and your business, are printed and mailed for you every month. And property managers, realtors, home inspectors and other businesses near you get a short email from your shop, so they think of you when their buildings or their clients need work done.So neighbors know who to call before they need a shop.

Ads run for you

Google Ads and Local Services Ads worked every business day on your budget, with a written note every week on what changed and why.So you know where every dollar went.

Your phone answered

An AI receptionist answers your shop's calls day and night, says it's an AI receptionist, answers common questions and emails you every message right away.So a call you can't take doesn't turn into a job for someone else.

Your area locked to you

We never work for or email another shop in your trade in your zone. Every month we check your 3 closest competitors: their reviews, where they show up on Google, their ads and their offers. You see what's winning them calls and get one move to beat them, and if that move is part of our work, we make it for you.So the work we build only helps you.

Help with the office

Estimates drafted from your voice memo the same day, with good, better and best options. Late invoices followed up politely. And office email: forward the shop emails you want help with (supplier and vendor notes, bills, permit and inspection emails, warranty claims, customer questions that aren't new jobs). They come back sorted into needs you today, can wait, and just so you know, with a reply drafted for each one that needs it. You read and send. Nothing goes out on its own.So the paperwork doesn't eat your evenings, and nothing urgent sits.

A Friday report: what we did and what it brought in

One email every Friday showing what we did for your shop that week and what it brought in: new leads, old quotes that answered, and the jobs you told us you booked. Then everything we did, line by line.
So you never wonder what you're paying for.

We never write "we made you". Every number is one you can check yourself: booked jobs are the ones you report, at your own prices, and calls and directions are Google's own counts. Until Google gives us reporting access to your profile, those counts come from the numbers Google sends you.

If you've been burned before

Not another marketing company.

Plenty of owners have paid a marketing company and got nothing they could point to. Here is what other marketing companies often do, and what we do instead.

"Very hard to cancel"

What other marketing companies doA 6 or 12 month contract, and bills that keep coming after you say stop.

What Booked Out Solutions does insteadNo long-term contract. Reply "cancel" to any email. You get a note back with the date your service ends, and nothing more is charged.

"No proof of work"

What other marketing companies doA monthly report of clicks and impressions.

What Booked Out Solutions does insteadOne email every Friday showing what we did for your shop that week and what it brought in: new leads, old quotes that answered, and the jobs you told us you booked, then every piece of work we did, line by line.

"They kept my website and my listing"

What other marketing companies doThe agency owns the site or the logins, and you start over when you leave.

What Booked Out Solutions does insteadYour Google profile, reviews, website, domain and lists are yours. We're a manager on your profile and you can take us off any day.

"Paid for leads that went nowhere"

What other marketing companies doStrangers sold by the lead, sometimes to three shops at once.

What Booked Out Solutions does insteadWe start with the quotes, inquiries and customers you already earned. One flat price. No fee per lead.

"Promised the top of Google"

What other marketing companies doA promised ranking, or a promised number of jobs.

What Booked Out Solutions does insteadWe promise the work: every piece of your package, every month. Miss any piece and your next month is free.

"Pay first, see later"

What other marketing companies doA sales call, a proposal, then a bill before any work shows.

What Booked Out Solutions does insteadA free look at your own shop, then two free weeks. Nothing is charged unless you decide to stay.

One thing we are not: a sales-call shop. The work happens by email, and if you have a question you can call Booker, our AI assistant, any time and ask him anything. If you want a person on a call every week, we're the wrong fit, and we'd rather say so now.

What it looks like

A tankless water heater quote that went quiet. Then didn't.

From Mike at Smith PlumbingTue 9:14 am
Hi Dana, Mike at Smith Plumbing here. I sent the quote for your tankless water heater a few weeks back and wanted to make sure it reached you. If anything in it raised a question, hit reply and ask me. I can go over the options.

Thanks for checking in. We got busy and it slipped. Is the price still good? If so, could you do it the week of the 18th?

Thank you, Chris, and you're right about the quote. That's on us. We've changed how quotes go out so nobody waits like that again. Glad the leak is behind you.

In front of them just before they need you.

Past customers hear from you when it matters for plumbing work: before the first hard freeze. Your Google profile gets a post that fits the week.

So you're the name they think of when someone searches for a plumber.

First hard freeze is Friday night. Unhook your garden hoses and cover the outside faucets today. If a pipe on an outside wall has frozen before, leave that cabinet door open and the tap at a slow drip. Not sure where your main shutoff is? Find it now, not at 2 am.

Today

Ask for your free look

Tell us your shop and your town. Within 2 business days you get a private one-page Quotes and Reviews look, built from your real Google listing. Free, and yours to keep.

Then 2 free weeks

We run it on your shop

If you like what you see, we do the work free for two weeks: old quotes followed up, new inquiries answered, reviews replied to. Nothing to pay.

Day 14

You decide

You see what came back, in your own numbers. Stay and pick what you want, or reply "no" and we stop. No long-term contract either way.

Why you need us

Good shops lose work they already earned.

Not because the work is bad. Because nobody has time to follow up. If the calls have dried up, or you're not in the top three on the map anymore, look here first:

  1. A quote with no second note goes quiet.You're on a job. Nobody at the shop has time to write back to last month's quotes, so the customer goes with whoever did.
  2. People read your review replies before they call.A good shop with no replies can look like nobody's home.
  3. An inquiry answered tomorrow is often too late.By then the customer has usually written to two more shops.
  4. Past customers forget your name.They already trust your work. They need a reason to think of you first.
  5. New leads cost money. These don't.Ads and lead sites sell you strangers. The quotes, inquiries and customers on this list are ones you already earned.

Closing those gaps is the whole job at Booked Out Solutions. We do it for you, every week, by email.

Straight talk

What we promise, and what we don't.

What we promise: the work

In a paid month, every piece of work in your package gets done, and you see each one in your Friday report. Some have exact clocks:

  • New quotes you forward get their first note within 48 hours.
  • Your old 90-day pile of quotes is contacted within 5 business days.
  • Every email inquiry is answered the same day.
  • Fixes to your Google listing are submitted by the 3rd business day.
  • Postcards, posts, review replies, website pages and everything else in your package go out on schedule.
  • If we run your ads: worked every business day, with a written note every week.

If we miss any piece of your package, your next month is free.

What we don't promise: jobs

Nobody honest can. We can't control Google, the mail or your customers, so we don't put our name on them.

We promise what is fully in our hands, and every Friday you see exactly what was done.

Questions owners ask

Short answers.

What's the catch?

There isn't a hidden one. The look is free and yours to keep. The two weeks are free, with nothing to pay. On day 14 you see what came back and we ask if you want to stay. That is the first point where it costs money. Say no and we stop.

What does it cost?

The free look and the two free weeks cost nothing. After that it's one flat price every month for the package you pick, with no long-term contract. Your price page comes by email with your results. Want it sooner? Ask and we'll send it.

What if nothing comes back in the two free weeks?

Then you've paid nothing. If nothing has come back by day 14, we run one more free week. If you still don't want to go on, reply "no" and we stop.

How fast does it start?

Your free look arrives within 2 business days. In the free weeks, the first notes go out as soon as you've OK'd how they read. In a paid month, new quotes get their first note within 48 hours and your old 90-day pile is contacted within 5 business days.

Do my techs have to do anything?

No. Nothing to install, no script, no asking for reviews at the door. We ask your customers for reviews by email. Your part is about 20 minutes, one time: forward your old quotes or a photo of the pile, send a list of recent customers, add us to your Google profile, and OK the first notes.

Do you write or buy reviews?

Never. We ask your real customers, every one of them, with the same link. We don't write reviews, buy them, or ask only the happy ones.

Is it only old quotes?

No. Old quotes are where most shops see it first, but it's the whole growth side of the shop: every inquiry answered the same day, every review replied to, your Google profile fixed and posted on every week, past customers reached, website fixes, postcards mailed, ads run for you on the higher packages, and a report every Friday on what we did and what it brought in.

Does the free look cost anything?

No. It's free, there's nothing to pay, and it's yours to keep whether you ever hire us or not.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract. Cancel anytime by replying "cancel" to any email. Your service runs to the end of the month you paid for, then billing stops.

Will I have to get on the phone?

No. We don't make sales calls, and the work we do for you happens by email, at whatever hour suits you. If you'd rather talk, you can call Booker, our AI assistant, any time, day or night, and ask him anything about Booked Out.

How much of my time does it take?

About 20 minutes, one time, at the start. After that, a reply when you want to. Nothing goes out in your name until you've OK'd how it reads.

Do you guarantee more jobs?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. We guarantee the work: every piece of your package, done every month, with dates on the big ones. If we miss any piece, your next month is free.

Is this AI?

Yes, and we'll always tell you so. AI does the writing and the work, a second AI model checks every send, Rickey reviews samples himself, and nothing new goes out in your name until you OK the first one. No sales calls and no texts. If you have the AI receptionist, it always says it's an AI receptionist.

I already have a marketing company.

Then treat the free look as a second opinion. If it turns out you're better off staying with who you have, we'll tell you.

Who owns my Google profile, my website and my lists?

You do. Your Google profile, reviews and review replies stay yours, always. You add us as a manager on the profile and can take us off any day. If you leave, your site, your domain and your lists are yours to keep.

How do I cancel?

Reply "cancel" to any email. You get a note back with the date your service ends. Nothing more is charged after that.
