Automaite Hamilton · Ontario · Trades only Book 10 minutes

After 5pm,
your phone is
your competition.

A homeowner with no heat calls three numbers. The one that gets answered gets the job. Automaite answers for you, books it, and texts you the details before you're off the ladder.

The signature — one Tuesday night

Same five calls.
Two different weeks.

This is a normal after-hours run for a mid-size Ontario shop: five calls between 5pm and 11pm on a cold Tuesday. On the left, the phone rang out. On the right, it didn't.

Illustrative — names and jobs are made up. The pattern isn't: the calls you don't answer between supper and bed are the ones your competition answers.

Try it — you be the homeowner

It's 9:40 on a Tuesday.
Your furnace just quit.

This is the same thing that picks up for your shop. Type like you'd talk on the phone. It's answering for a sample company called Northside Heating & Air.

Northside Heating & Air — after hours

Two things, done properly

We answer the phone.
We catch the website.

That's the whole service. We don't post to your Instagram and we don't sell you SEO.

01 — After hours

Your phone, answered

From 5pm to 8am, weekends and holidays, a real voice picks up in your company's name.

  • Takes the name, address, and what's wrong
  • Books straight into your calendar
  • Texts you immediately if it's an emergency
  • Everything else lands on your morning callback list
  • You set what counts as an emergency — it never wakes you for a dripping tap

02 — Your website

The form that actually works

Most contractor sites have a contact form nobody checks and a phone number that rings out. We fix the leak.

  • Quote requests go to your phone, not an inbox you open Sundays
  • Every enquiry gets a reply inside two minutes, day or night
  • One place to see every lead — call, form, or text
  • Works with the site you already have

What it costs

First month free.
No setup fee. Cancel anytime.

You run it for a month before you pay us anything. If it hasn't booked you work by then, walk away and you're out nothing.

Live in about a week. Month to month after the free one — cancel with 30 days' notice, no minimum term. We'll tell you straight if we don't think it'll pay for itself in your trade.

Next step

Ten minutes,
on the phone.

We'll ask what your after-hours calls look like now and tell you whether this is worth it for your shop. If it isn't, we'll say so.
