Text your way to more bookings.

How it works

Three steps, all on your terms.

AE-LI SMS is an opt-in program. We only message numbers whose owners have given explicit consent — and you can leave at any time with a single word.

  • 01

    You opt in

    You give explicit consent through our form — either on /sms-opt-in or by ticking the optional SMS box during checkout or onboarding.

  • 02

    We text you

    We send relevant updates about your service — project notifications, support replies, and account-related messages. Frequency varies based on your account activity.

  • 03

    You stay in control

    Reply STOP at any time for instant removal. Or use our opt-out form. No phone calls. No follow-up.

For the full program details — frequency, costs, carriers, and sharing policy — see our SMS Terms.

The service flow

Missed call to booked job, in three steps.

  1. 01

    We text your leads within 60 seconds

    Someone calls and you miss it — our system fires an SMS to that number within a minute. Personalized, signed by your business name, and routed through your real Twilio number.

  2. 02

    AI qualifies and books the appointment

    The lead replies, the AI handles the back-and-forth — what's the issue, when works, where are you — and locks the slot straight into your Google Calendar. No human in the loop until the booking is confirmed.

  3. 03

    You show up to a confirmed job

    By the time your phone buzzes, the lead is qualified, the time is on your calendar, and the customer expects you. Your only job is to do the work.

Compliance — built in

Every message, on the right side of the law.

We follow the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the CTIA Messaging Principles & Best Practices, and the 10DLC carrier rules for US business SMS. That means express prior consent before every send, time-of-day restrictions (8 AM – 9 PM local), and instant opt-out via the STOP keyword.

  • TCPA-compliant consent capture
  • 10DLC carrier registration handled
  • STOP / HELP keywords auto-replied
  • Quiet hours enforced (8 AM – 9 PM local)
  • Carrier disclaimer on every send
  • Recordkeeping retained 4 years

Questions

Things contractors ask first.

Is this spam?
No. We only message leads who have explicitly opted in — either by submitting your contact form with the SMS box ticked, or by replying YES to an opt-in invite. We follow TCPA, the CTIA messaging principles, and 10DLC carrier rules.
What area codes do you use?
Charlotte (704) and (980) by default — the same area code as your customers, so messages don't read as a robocall. We can provision other US area codes on request.
Can I see the messages before they send?
Yes. The full message library lives in your dashboard. You review and approve every template, including the AI response branches. We don't send anything you haven't signed off on.
What if someone wants to stop?
They reply STOP (or STOPALL / UNSUBSCRIBE / CANCEL / END / QUIT). Their number is removed from outbound automation within seconds and we send one final confirmation message. Industry-standard, TCPA-compliant.
