2:15 PM. You're in an attic. Your phone's buzzing.

Stay on the job. We'll catch the call.

When you can't pick up, AI answers in your voice, books the job on your calendar and sends the confirmation. No callback list waiting for you tonight.

For HVAC, solar and water treatment companies.

Talk to Trent and Jared. No pitch deck.

  1. 2:15 PM, a missed call from (619) 555-0142, and the AI starts answering.
  2. The AI receptionist: “Hi, this is ClearFlow. Mike's on a job, I can get you booked. Is tomorrow at 10 good?”
  3. The customer texts back: “Tomorrow at 10 works!”
  4. 2:17 PM, the calendar: booked, water test, tomorrow at 10:00 AM.
  5. 6:30 PM, the day's summary: every call answered, jobs booked, nothing to call back.

Sound familiar?

Every unanswered call goes to the next company on Google.

Speed to lead closes hot deals. You shouldn't have to choose between the job in front of you and the next one.

“It's the follow-up that kills you.”

Home-service owner, on our first call

Someone searches for a water softener install near them and calls ClearFlow Water first. The phone rings out with no answer, so they call the next company on the list, which books the job, and ClearFlow Water loses a $4,200 job.

The people behind it

You'll talk to Trent and Jared.

We've run crews and missed those calls too. Trent sold his solar company to a publicly traded company before Clutch City, so we build for how your day actually goes.

Skilled before AI. Remarkable with it.

Each of us spent years mastering a craft before AI existed. Now we pair that experience with the best AI tools, so what we build for you isn't slop. It's remarkable.

A hand-drafted blueprint of a lead follow-up becomes a live system: years of craft, multiplied by AI.

How it works

Two calls. Then we build it with you.

  1. Call 1 · Free, 30 min

    We ask about your business.

    Mostly questions, not a sales demo. When you mention something you wish you had, we show you how we've built it before. You leave with a written plan, even if you never hire us.

  2. Call 2

    Your game plan.

    We come back with a proposal and walk you through the system and the plan for your business.

  3. The build

    We build it with you.

    We start from pieces we've already built, so most setups go live in about 10 days. Custom builds take longer, often 4 to 8 weeks, and the biggest take more. You see it along the way and tell us what to change.

  4. After launch

    It runs.

    Speed to lead, handled. We stay on call after launch.

The day

Here's what happens while you work.

Your day

What Clutch City did

Example
  1. 2:15 PM. You: in an attic, hands full. The AI answers in your voice and books a water test for tomorrow at 2:00 PM, on the call.
  2. 2:16 PM. Confirmation sent: “You're booked: water test, tomorrow at 2:00 PM. See you then!” Email and calendar invite sent.
  3. 3:40 PM. You: driving to the next job. A missed call gets a text back in 4 seconds: “Hi, it's ClearFlow Water. Sorry we missed you! Thursday at 10 or 1?” The reply: “10 works.” Booked Thursday 10:00 AM.
  4. 5:30 PM. You: wrapping up. Today: 4 calls handled, 3 booked, inbox clear.

Your day's done. Nothing to call back.

“I lose touch with people I've done bids with.”

Home-service owner, on our first call

While you're on the job

Your phone does the
follow-up.

Three things that keep working after the job is done, so no quote or customer goes cold.

An estimate from ClearFlow Water for a whole-home softener, with no prices shown, gets stamped Sent, Viewed, Day 2 nudge and Day 5 nudge, then Signed.

Quote follow-up

Every estimate gets nudged until it's signed or a clear no. No more quotes going cold in a drawer.

One text goes to a list of past customers whose last service was over a year ago, asking if they want a checkup, and replies come back like “Yes, next week” and “Book me Thursday.”

Past-customer reactivation

Your old customer list is your easiest money. One text wakes it up.

After the job the customer gets a review link, taps five stars, and their review, “Showed up on time and explained everything.”, lands on your business profile.

Review requests

After every job, every customer gets the same friendly ask, with the link right there.

Questions

Questions owners ask

Something else on your mind? Call or text (619) 940-1615, or email [email protected].

How fast can this be live?

About 10 days for most setups. Bigger custom builds take 4 to 8 weeks, and we'll tell you which yours is on the first call.

Do I have to switch software?

Not always. We start by mapping how you book and follow up today. If your job-management or accounting software works, we connect to it; if our CRM is the right fit, we move your customers over for you.

How much does it cost?

Every build is different, so after the call you get a written quote before anything starts. No surprises. On a tight budget? We start with the piece that'll make the biggest difference and build from there.

Who's on the call?

Trent and Jared, our co-founders. Plan on about 30 minutes, a bit more if we're on a roll.

What if we're not a good fit?

We'll tell you. Honestly. You'll still leave with a written plan you can use.
