How it works for a cleaning company
Four steps, from the first message to a qualified thread waiting for your team.
Connect your lead sources
Message leads from Google Local Services Ads, Yelp, Thumbtack, and your Website Chat Widget collect in one inbox.
Load your cleaning playbook
Room pricing, add-ons, minimums, coverage area, hours, and the sizing questions your office already asks.
The AI replies and sizes the job
An immediate reply goes out, room and fibre questions get asked, and follow-up runs until the customer responds or opts out.
Your scheduler closes the loop
Notifications reach the right person by email, SMS, or WhatsApp, a human can join the thread whenever needed, and outcomes can be pushed onward through Zapier and/or webhooks.
Beyond the first reply
Everything else your office gets.
The AI reply is where it starts. Carpet cleaners also get the inbox, alerts, call review and reports that keep a lead moving after the first message.
One leads inbox
Yelp, Thumbtack, Google LSA and website chat conversations in one leads inbox, with search, filters by date, status, ZIP code and lead type, and CSV export.
Team alerts by email, SMS and WhatsApp
Alerts to up to 10 email addresses, SMS and WhatsApp groups for a new lead, a goal achieved, an AI handoff, or a lead that stops replying.
Google LSA call review
Recordings, transcripts and AI summaries for LSA calls, automatic lead ratings and spam disputes, plus Google's rating status and credit eligibility per lead.
Reports that show what works
Yelp ads and Google LSA reports (including LSA credits), Google Business Profile reporting, and lead reports by source, service type and ZIP code.
Built for multi-location
Each location gets its own business profile and AI settings per lead source. Growth covers up to 3 locations; compare plans.
Guardrails you control
The AI quotes only the starting-at prices you set, keeps spam out of conversations, follows up on your schedule and hands off when a person should take over. See AI settings.
Qualified leads can go to Workiz through its native one-way integration, or to ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, GoHighLevel and other tools through Zapier or webhooks.
