Missed call capture for trades

Every missed call is a job gone to your competitor

You're on site. The phone rings. You can't answer. The customer calls someone else. Automika captures that call, collects the job details, and sends you a structured summary so you can follow up and win the work.

The problem

Most trades businesses lose work from calls they never return

You don't have a demand problem. You have a response problem. Here's what happens every week.

You miss the call while on a job

A customer calls. You're under a sink, on a ladder, or driving. It rings out. They don't leave a voicemail.

Lost before you knew they called

They call the next person on Google

The average customer calls two or three businesses. If you don't answer first, someone else gets the job.

Competitor wins by default

Hours pass before you see it

You check your phone at 6pm. Three missed calls. No messages. No way to know what they wanted.

No details, no way to follow up

It happens every single week

One missed call might be £200. Five a week is £1,000. Over a year, that's tens of thousands in lost revenue.

Thousands lost annually
How it works

Three steps. No waffle.

When you can't answer, Automika handles the enquiry and gets you the details you need to call back and win the job.

A call comes in

A potential customer calls your business number. You're busy, on site, or it's out of hours.

Every call handled

The enquiry is captured

Structured details collected

You get a summary instantly

A clear, structured job summary is sent to you. Name, number, what they need, where they are, how urgent it is. You call back with everything you need.

Faster follow-up, more wins

Who this is for

Built for trades businesses that can't always answer the phone

If you've ever lost a job because you couldn't pick up in time, this is for you.

Plumbers & Heating Engineers

Emergency and planned work. You need your phone ringing from local searches, not silence.

Electricians

Domestic rewires, fuse boards, emergency callouts. Your site should convert searchers into bookings.

Maintenance & Facilities Firms

Contract and reactive work. You need a system that captures enquiries when you're on site and can't answer.

You'll benefit most if…
You miss calls while on jobs and lose work because of it
Customers are calling competitors when you don't answer
You have no system to capture missed enquiries
You want structured job details, not vague voicemails

About Automika

Built by someone who understands what converts

Founder, Automika

I spent 12 years in financial services, where trust, credibility, and conversion aren't optional — they're the business. Every page, every form, every call to action has to earn the customer's confidence.

I started Automika because I saw the same problems on trades websites everywhere: good businesses losing work because their site wasn't doing its job. Not because it looked bad, but because it wasn't built to convert.

We don't do vague advice or fancy redesigns that look nice but don't bring in work. We find what's costing you enquiries, fix it, and measure whether it worked.
