See it work on your own business

Send yourself a test lead the way a customer would. A live automation replies in your business's name and sends you the alert, usually within seconds.

  1. Send a test leadUse your own business name and email.
  2. It replies in your nameThe automation writes back as your business.
  3. Check your inboxSee the reply and the lead alert you'd get.

The job usually goes to whoever answers first.

You can be the best roofer in Doylestown and still lose the job in the minutes after a call goes unanswered. Here's where it happens, plus the new Pennsylvania rule on sales texts.

27% of calls to home-service businesses go unanswered

Under 3% of callers sent to voicemail leave a message

Both figures: Invoca, 2024

Calls you miss on the job

2:15 PM. The phone rings while you're up a ladder. They get voicemail, hang up and call the next company on Google.

Calls that come after hours

7:40 PM. Burst pipes and dead furnaces don't keep business hours. Whoever answers tonight is in the driveway tomorrow.

Quote requests that wait

10:05 AM. A quote request lands mid-morning and you see it after dinner. By then they've booked whoever called back at lunch.

Pennsylvania's new texting rules

In force since October 18, 2026. SB 992 brings sales texts under the state's telemarketing law, with fines of up to $1,000 per violation, or $3,000 when the person is 60 or older. Know where your texts stand before you automate anything.

The free missed-call check shows what one caller gets from your business today. The $500 audit counts every missed call from the last 30 days.

Callers hear back, even when you can't pick up

Missed-Call Recovery sets up the call answering, the text-back and instant replies to quote requests, built around your own call numbers and tested with you before they touch a real customer.

Play it with your own trade and business name

AI answering assistant

When you can't pick up, the call goes to an AI assistant instead of voicemail. It says it's an AI, answers questions about your services and towns, books a callback in the times you set and sends you the details.

Day and nightfor calls you miss

Missed-call text-back

Within a couple of minutes, the caller gets one text from your registered number: a confirmation, or a question if they hung up first. It only goes out 9 AM to 7 PM, Monday to Saturday, and replies reach your phone.

About 2 minfrom the call to the text

Instant replies to quote requests

Quote requests from your website form get a reply right away, so the customer hears from you before they fill out the next company's form.

How it works

From a free check to running in the background

Four steps, and the first one is free.

  1. Free missed-call check

    I call your business line once and let it ring, and send one test quote request through your website. You get a one-page result by email: what the caller heard, whether anything came back and how long the request waited.

    Free · next business day
  2. 15-minute call

    If the result shows calls slipping, we go over the fix, what it costs and how long setup takes. No slides. Want the full count first? The $500 audit works from 30 days of your call logs.

    If you want
  3. Setup

    I set up Missed-Call Recovery and test it with you. You approve the wording and the script before it goes live. The AI assistant can start first, and texting joins once the carriers approve your number.

    A few weeks
  4. Running

    Caught leads land on your phone with the job details. When you want the wording or the questions changed, you message me, and it's included in the $200 a month.

    Every day after

Who you're working with

You deal with the person who builds it.

Amplify is run by Max DeAngelo in Bucks County. I design, build and test every automation myself, and I'm the one you hear from when something needs to change.

I've built multi-step AI systems that run unattended and flag their own failures. Your build gets the same standard.

FAQ

Questions owners ask first

Anything else, ask on the call.

What does the $500 audit cover?

20 checks across five areas: your missed, after-hours and repeat calls from the last 30 days; how fast website quote requests get a reply, plus a test request and a check of your business email; your Google listing and reviews; how a job moves from first call to paid invoice; and Pennsylvania's updated texting rules. You get a report with what's slipping, what it's worth and the fixes ranked by dollars or hours, five business days after the walkthrough. If it finds less than $500 a month slipping, you get the $500 back.

Where should I start?

Hear it first: on the demo page, call the AI line or send yourself a test lead, and it answers as your business. Then the free missed-call check shows what your own callers get today. I call your line once, send one test quote request through your website, and email you the result by the next business day. If you want the full count, the $500 audit works from 30 days of your call logs, and its $500 comes off the upfront price of whatever you buy next. Every service can also be bought on its own. Get a free missed-call check.

Do I have to buy anything after the audit?

No. The audit is $500, paid up front, with no retainer. If you want the fixes done for you, the $500 comes off the upfront price of whatever you buy, so it covers Missed-Call Recovery's $500 setup and you pay only the $200 a month. If you'd rather handle them yourself, the report tells you what to do first.

Will customers know they're texting an automated assistant?

Yes. The first text says it's from an automated assistant. Pennsylvania's updated law has banned deceptive computer-generated messages since October 18, 2026, and people don't like being fooled anyway.

Is texting missed callers allowed under Pennsylvania's new law?

It can be. Pennsylvania's SB 992, effective October 18, 2026, brings sales texts and voicemails under the state's telemarketing rules. From that date, sales texts can only go out between 9 AM and 7 PM, never on Sundays or legal holidays, and opt-out replies like STOP, QUIT, END, REVOKE, OPT OUT, CANCEL or UNSUBSCRIBE must be honored. Whether a reply to someone who just called you counts as a sales text can depend on what it says, so in my setup text-backs only go out from 9 AM to 7 PM, Monday to Saturday, and the audit flags which of your texts may fall under the new rules. It's practical guidance, not legal advice. Read the contractor's guide to the law.

How is this different from an answering service?

An answering service puts a person on the line to take a message, usually for a monthly fee. Missed-Call Recovery answers the calls you can't take with an AI assistant, books a callback, texts the caller and sends the job details to your phone, for $200 a month after setup. The two compared, with prices.

I already use Jobber or Housecall Pro. Why not their AI receptionist?

If you're happy in Jobber, its AI Receptionist may be all you need. It's $29 a month for 30 conversations on most plans, it needs a Jobber phone number, and I can set it up for you for $250. Housecall Pro's CSR AI answers calls through call forwarding too. Missed-Call Recovery is for shops that want the text-back, the answering and the quote-request replies to work with any phone line and any software, set up around Pennsylvania's texting rules. Jobber's receptionist compared.

Do you build websites?

Yes. A website is $1,499 or $3,799, one time, written for you and set up for Google. You own the domain and the site. See what's in each build.

What areas do you serve?

Bucks and Montgomery County, including Doylestown, Warrington, Warminster, Newtown, Chalfont, Quakertown, Lansdale, North Wales, Horsham, Ambler, Blue Bell and King of Prussia. The automation works anywhere in the US. The texting-law checklist in the audit is written for Pennsylvania.

Book a 15-minute call, or start with the free missed-call check and get the result by email by the next business day.

If you go on to the $500 audit, it comes with a guarantee: if it finds less than $500 a month slipping, you get the $500 back.
