Bay Area Rapid Plumbing, Request a Quote, 9:47 PMJobBooker on
Hi, the water heater is leaking and we have no hot water. Can someone come out?

Sorry, that is a rough night. Shut the cold water valve on top of the tank to stop the spread. A tank replacement runs $1,600 to $3,200, confirmed before any work. I can hold Thursday at 10 AM. What is the best number for you?

The problem

The job is gone six minutes after the lead lands

  1. 0 min
    Lead arrives
  2. 1 min
    A competitor replies
  3. 5 min
    You see it
  4. 6 min
    Sorry, already booked

Three shops got the same request

Yelp sends it to all of you at once. Whoever answers first usually gets the job.

You are on a job

Your hands are busy with the customer in front of you. The lead waits, and by the time you look it is gone.

Leads go cold fast

A quote request is warm for minutes, not hours. By the evening it is someone else's job.

Nights and weekends

Half of the requests arrive after you close. Nobody is there to answer them.

Pipe burst under the kitchen sink, water is everywhere. It is almost midnight, is anyone there?
Bay Area Rapid Plumbing
First, shut the main water valve, usually in the garage or by the street meter. That stops the flooding right now. We run emergencies 24/7 at (415) 555-0199 and someone picks up. If the water is already off, I can have a tech there at 7 AM. Is it off? - Mark
Just got it off. 7am works, we will call the line if it gets worse.
Bay Area Rapid Plumbing
Good work. You are down for 7 AM and I flagged this as urgent so you are first on the route. Put towels down and keep the cabinet open to dry it out. What is the best number for the tech?
415-555-0188. Thank you!
Outcome

Emergency line reached, crew booked for 7 AM. The owner was asleep.

Why this trade

Plumbing emergencies land at night, and the first shop to answer gets the call.

Questions

Answered before you ask

Does this need my Yelp password?

No. You sign in to Yelp's own free Zapier app with your normal Yelp for Business login, on Yelp's page. We never see it, and you can disconnect it yourself at any time.

Will customers know it is AI?

It writes as your business, in your tone, with your prices and your name on the signature. California requires a one-line note that the first reply was automated, so JobBooker adds it for California businesses only. A real person is always watching the inbox.

What if it says something wrong?

Turn on Review mode and nothing sends until you approve it. Custom instructions, in plain English, fix anything it keeps getting wrong.

Can I reply myself?

Yes. Answer in Yelp or from the lead page and the AI steps off that thread, then your inbox flags it when the customer writes back.

Does it handle Spanish and other languages?

It detects the customer's language and answers in it when that language is switched on. The dashboard can also show you every message in yours.

How fast is the first reply?

Seconds, day or night. Out of hours it says so honestly and gives the real next open time.

What does it cost me in Zapier?

About one task per lead, one per reply, one per follow-up. The free plan covers roughly 10 leads a month, and Yelp's own app is free.

Can I turn off follow-ups?

Yes, in Settings, or pause the AI on one lead. They also stop on their own when the customer replies, shares a number, or books.

How long does setup take?

About fifteen minutes. Paste your website to fill in the profile, turn on the Zap templates, and send yourself a test lead first.
