Ridgeline Garage Door — Tampa, FL
Ridgeline was spending about $2,400 a month on Yelp and couldn’t tell whether it was working. Their office manager handled quote requests between phone calls, which in practice meant most Yelp messages sat until the end of the day. Weekend requests waited until Monday.
We started with the response gap rather than the campaign. The AI assistant went live on a Tuesday, texting back every Yelp lead within a minute, asking whether the door was stuck open, what brand the opener was, and offering the next two available windows from their schedule. By the following Monday, first-contact time had gone from just over three hours to under sixty seconds, including overnight and Sunday requests.
Then we tightened the campaign — cut the service radius from 40 miles to 22, dropped two categories that were pulling commercial jobs they don’t take, and shifted budget toward spring repair.
What owners say after the first 90 days
“I’d basically written Yelp off. Turns out the ads were fine, we were just slow. The texting thing catches jobs at nine at night that I never would have seen until morning.”
Dan M.
Ridegeline Garage Door, Tampa FL

Clearwater Plumbing Co., Clearwater FL
“We cut the radius and spent less, and booked more. I was skeptical about that part. My guys aren’t driving 40 minutes for a service call anymore.”

Before you book
Your Yelp rep works for Yelp. They’re helpful, but they’re measured on how much you spend and they can’t touch anything outside the Yelp dashboard. As a Yelp Advertising Partner we work for you, and most of what moves your cost per job sits outside that dashboard: how fast leads get answered, how phone calls get handled, whether any of it makes it into your CRM.
We ask for manager-level access to your Yelp for Business account. You stay the owner and can pull access any time. Ad budget is billed by Yelp to your card, never through us.
Ad spend depends on your category and city. Competitive home-service categories in a mid-size market usually need $1,000–$3,000 a month to produce steady lead flow. Under about $600 there’s too little data to optimize honestly. Our management fee is flat and sits on top of that — we don’t take a percentage of spend, because that pays an agency to talk you into bigger budgets.
The moment a Yelp message or call comes in, it texts back in your business’s voice, asks the two or three questions you’d ask, and offers real openings from your calendar. If someone asks something it shouldn’t answer — pricing on an unusual job, an angry complaint — it hands off to you with the full thread. You approve the script before it goes live and can change it whenever.
We don’t pretend it’s a person. The first message identifies itself as your automated assistant. In practice nobody minds, because what they wanted was a fast answer.
Response-time improvement is immediate — live in week one. Campaign restructuring takes about 30 days to read cleanly, and 60 to 90 days before cost per booked job settles into a number you can trust. Anyone promising faster than that is guessing.
We can flag reviews that break Yelp’s content guidelines, and sometimes they come down. No agency can promise removal, and anyone who does is selling something they can’t deliver. The reliable path is generating enough genuine recent reviews that one bad one stops mattering.
Mostly local service businesses where the customer has an urgent need and no existing provider: HVAC, plumbing, garage doors, roofing, electrical, restoration, pest control, auto repair, moving, cleaning, plus law firms and dental practices. If people search your category on Yelp when something breaks, it’s a fit.
