24/7 AI Answering for Garage Door Companies
A stuck garage door can't wait. Neither can your phone.
Octopus answers every urgent call, texts back every missed one, and follows up on new door quotes, so you win the job before the next company picks up.
A real exchange, start to finish
This is the conversation your lead gets — automatically, any hour.
Sorry we missed you. Is your door stuck open, stuck closed, or making noise?
Stuck closed, car is trapped inside
Understood — please don't try to force it or touch the spring. What's the address?
A tech can be there between 9 and 11 today. Booking you now.
Sound familiar?
Most garage doors companies lose jobs in the same few places. Here's where yours probably bleeds.
Garage door calls are urgent.
A car trapped inside means the homeowner calls until someone answers.
Your techs are driving between jobs and can't pick up.
Driving and working on-site keeps techs from answering phone calls.
New door quotes get shopped around.
Without follow-up, the cheapest quote wins by default.
Customers forget annual tune-ups.
Springs and openers fail and they call whoever shows up first on Google.
