The Hidden Leak

Every missed enquiry is a job that went to someone else.

You can't answer the phone with your hands in an engine bay or up a ladder. So the work you've earned quietly walks out the door, and you never even see it happen.

Missed calls

A call that rings out rarely rings back. Most callers simply move on to the next name on the list.

Slow quote follow up

Quotes sent and forgotten. The job often goes to whoever followed up first, not whoever quoted best.

Out of hours enquiries

Evenings and weekends are when customers search. If nothing replies, your competitor does.

Reviews never asked for

The happy customers who would gladly leave you five stars are never asked, so the reputation that wins your next job never gets built.

How It Works

From first call to fully automated in three steps.

No lengthy onboarding, no jargon. Just a clear path from where you're leaking jobs to a system that catches them.

1

We map your workflow

A free call to find exactly where you're leaking time and jobs, with no commitment and no sales script.

2

We build your AI system

Built around how your business actually runs, plugged into the phone and tools you already use.

3

You win back time & jobs

The AI handles enquiries, follow ups and reviews around the clock, so nothing slips while you're on the tools.

See It In Action

Watch it catch a lead.

A quick look at the system replying to a missed call and capturing the job, in real time.

The call you'd have missed. A customer rings while you're on the tools. Press play to see what happens next.

What We Automate

Your busywork, handled automatically.

Every system is built to do one thing: turn the enquiries you're already getting into booked, paying jobs, without adding to your workload.

Missed call text back, 24/7

The moment a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a friendly text, so the enquiry is captured before they call anyone else.

Instant lead follow up

Every new enquiry gets an immediate reply by SMS or email, so no lead ever goes cold while you're working.

AI chat assistant

Your website answers questions and captures the caller's details around the clock, so an enquiry at midnight is still an enquiry in the morning.

Quote & job follow up

Automatic, perfectly timed nudges on open quotes and finished jobs, so more of your quotes turn into confirmed work.

Reviews & reputation

Happy customers are prompted to leave a review at the perfect moment, building the reputation that wins your next job.

Set up and run for you

We build it, connect it and keep it running. There are no dashboards to learn and nothing for you to manage.

Industries We Serve

Built for the trades.

We focus on the businesses we understand best, where a missed call genuinely costs a job.

Mechanics

Capture booking enquiries and service reminders so the ramp stays full.

Air Conditioning

Catch breakdown callouts the moment they come in, and keep service jobs booked.

Electricians

Never miss an emergency or a quote request, day or night.

Plumbers

Turn the 2am burst pipe panic into a booked, captured job.

Car Detailers

Fill your diary with valets and details and never let a booking enquiry slip.

Roofers

Turn leaks and storm-damage calls into booked jobs, and chase every quote.

Plasterers

Catch every skim and render enquiry, and follow up the quotes that go quiet.

And other trades where every enquiry counts. Tell us about your business →

I couldn’t be happier with the website that Optaflo created for my plastering business. Will handled everything, making the whole process straightforward and stress-free, and delivered a website that looks fantastic and is easy for my customers to use. If you’re looking for a company that genuinely cares about getting the best result for your business, I highly recommend Optaflo.

The Founders

Built by two people who answer the phone.

Optaflo is a startup led by its founders, built alongside our degrees. That's deliberate. It keeps us lean, hungry and hands on, so every client works directly with the people designing and coding their system, with none of the overhead or distance of a traditional agency.

Getting started

Your website is on us.

Sign on with us and we will build you a professional website, designed around your trade and live in days. It is included, it is yours, and there is nothing extra to pay for it.

We also plan and manage Google and Meta ads for businesses that want more leads coming in, not just better capture of the ones they already get.

Included

A proper website, built around your trade

Built for the way your customers actually find you: quick to load on a phone, clear about what you do and where you work, and set up to turn a visitor into an enquiry rather than just sit there looking pretty.

Also available

Google and Meta ads, managed for you

Once the systems are catching everything coming in, we can turn the tap up. We plan, build and manage Google and Meta ad campaigns to put your business in front of people searching for your trade in your area, and the enquiries land straight into the same system. Ad spend is billed separately by Google and Meta.

Everything else is a simple monthly fee with no setup costs and no long lock-ins. We will talk through what your business actually needs on the call. Book a free call to get started.

Questions

The things people ask before they start.

No. Every message is written to match how you'd actually speak to a customer, in plain, friendly language. Most people just see a quick, helpful reply, the kind they'd expect from a business that's on the ball. We write and test the wording with you before anything goes live.

No long lock-ins. You pay a simple monthly fee to keep it running, and you can stop whenever it stops being worth it. We'd rather earn your business every month than trap you in a contract.

Yes. Optaflo is registered with the ICO (registration number ZC178056) and we handle all data to UK GDPR standards. Your customer information stays yours, it's never sold or shared, and it lives in the tools you already trust.

Not at all. We build, connect and test everything for you. Once it's live it runs in the background on its own, and if you ever want to change something you just message us and we sort it. There are no dashboards to learn unless you want them.

In most cases, yes. We build around the phone, tools and any CRM system you already use, rather than forcing you onto a new platform. If something can't connect, we'll tell you straight on the first call.

We build around your business and keep you in the loop at every step, so you always know what's being built and why. We'll give you a clear timeline on the first call based on how much you want automated.

You stay in control. The AI only does the jobs you want it to, like catching missed calls or chasing quotes, and you can step in or take over any enquiry at any time. It's there to catch the work you'd otherwise lose, not to replace you.

A receptionist clocks off. This works around the clock, replies in seconds and follows up on quotes automatically, for a fraction of a wage and with no sick days or training. It isn't a person reading a script, it's a system built around your business.
