The Mako System · Built For Contractors
Quit losing jobs you already earned
Your phone rings while you're on a ladder. A happy customer means to leave a review and never gets around to it. Somebody two towns over searches for what you do and finds your competitor. The Mako System fixes all three for one flat price, and you run it from your phone.
We came up in sales. Here's what we learned.
Before Mako, both of us made our living selling. One rule held up every time: whoever gets back to the customer first usually gets the job. Not the cheapest guy. Not the one with the nicest truck. The one who answered.
Now we run ads and shoot video for local businesses, and we watch good contractors lose work in the same three spots. The missed call, the review that never got written, and the Google search they didn't show up in.
So we built a system that closes those gaps. You don't need to run a single ad for it to pay off, because it works on the calls and customers you already have. And if you ever do advertise, every dollar goes further with this in place.
| Without It | With It |
|---|---|
| Missed callGoes to a competitor | Missed callTexted back in seconds |
| Happy customerForgets to leave a review | Happy customerFive stars in seconds |
| Homeowner searchesFinds someone else | Homeowner searchesFinds you |
First to message back usually wins. We make sure that's you.
What's in the truck
Four tools, set up for you, run from your phone.
01
Missed call text back
You can't answer the phone with a nail gun in your hand. When a call slips by, the system texts that customer from your business number within seconds, so they're talking to you instead of dialing the next guy.
Seconds, not hours.
The text goes out before they've had time to look anyone else up.
Your number, your name.
It comes from your business line and sounds like your business.
Round the clock.
6am Sunday or 10pm Friday, nobody gets left hanging.
Pick it up later.
The whole conversation is saved in the app for when you climb down.
Missed Call 2:16 PM
02
One-tap review requests
Your customers like you, and most of them would happily leave a review. The problem is effort. Finding your page takes a minute, so it slides to tomorrow, then next week, then never. We cut it down to a few seconds.
Tap and done.
Send the request from the driveway before you pull out.
Straight to the stars.
The text opens your Google review page directly. No searching.
Ten-second job.
That's about how long it takes your customer.
Stack 'em up.
Every review pushes you higher in local search and makes the next customer's decision easier.

A website that covers your whole service area
Most contractor sites are a homepage, a services page, and a contact form. That might get you found in one town. Ours are built out around every service you offer and every city and county you work in, so you show up wherever your trucks go.
A page for every town.
City and county pages across your whole service area.
Tied to your Google profile.
Leads straight to your phone.
Form comes in, you get a text.
Built for phones first.
That's where your customers are looking.
Ranking builds over months, not days. Our sites are built to start climbing the day they go live.

Sit down
We get on a call, look at how your calls and leads come in right now, and show you the system running on a real phone.
We Build
Fill out one onboarding form. We handle the website, phone number, text back, review setup, and the carrier registration that lets your texts go out.
Hand-off
We get the app on your phone and run through it with you. You'll send your first review request before we hang up.
One price. $247/mo.
That number doesn't change. Setup is included, there's no contract, and you won't find add-on fees buried in an invoice later. Our goal is simple: a low price, a great service, and a relationship that lasts for years.
