How It Works: Done-for-You Automation

We map your business

A free 15-minute discovery call. We look at where your follow-up is falling through, which automations you're not running, and what a busy week looks like for your business.

You talk. We listen. By the end of the call we know exactly which systems will move the needle and which tier fits your operation.

We build your systems

You do nothing. We build every automation inside your Google account: no third-party platforms, no new logins. Your data stays in your account from day one.

Solo and Starter tiers are live within 1 week. Growth and Complete tiers run 1-2 weeks. We handle every technical step.

Systems run permanently

Once built, the systems run 24/7 without you touching them. Missed calls get texts. Completed jobs get review requests. Invoices get reminders.

The monthly retainer covers monitoring, error detection, and maintenance. If something breaks, we catch it and fix it before you notice.

Business Hub

Your business in your pocket.

Business Hub is a mobile-first field app that comes with every Uptick Co. tier. It shows your jobs, your customers, and what the automation handled overnight. Everything in one screen.

It is optional. If you want to check in on what's running, it's there. If you want to just let the systems handle it and never open the app, that works too.

No training required.

Attention queue

Every morning, the home screen shows you exactly what needs action. Review not sent. Invoice overdue. No-show to follow up. Color-coded, nothing buried.

Jobs list

Every job with a color-coded status: Scheduled, Complete, No-Show, Invoice Sent. Filter to what you need. See your full pipeline at a glance.

Customer records

Every customer, their full job history, contact info, and current status. Search by name or last 4 digits of their number. Your complete customer list, always current.

One-tap actions

From any job record: Close Job, Mark No-Show, or Mark Paid. One tap triggers the next step in the automation. Job closed triggers the review request. No-show triggers recovery.

How We're Different

How Uptick Co. Is Different

Most automation tools require you to sign up for new accounts, configure webhooks, and manage third-party software. Uptick Co. does not. Here is what that means in practice.

Every automation tool we build runs on Google Workspace tools you already own: Gmail, Google Sheets, and Google Voice. We register your SMS campaign with mobile carriers on your behalf. You never create a Twilio account, configure a webhook, or manage a third-party phone service. That is not how we work.

The Zero-Subscription Framework

Every system we build runs on Google Workspace tools you already own. No new software. No new subscriptions. No new logins. If you stop working with us, your data and your systems stay with you.

Your systems run inside your own Google account. Your customer data lives in your Google Sheet. Your business phone number is registered to your business. If you ever stop working with Uptick Co., everything stays with you. We just stop maintaining the scripts.

Why this works

Why This Model Works

Three things come up every time someone evaluates this approach.

No Software Tax

Every system we build runs on Google Workspace tools you already own. Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Calendar. You are not paying for a new platform on top of our service. You are paying for a system built on infrastructure already sitting in your Google account. If you ever stop working with us, your data and systems stay in your account. No vendor lock-in.

Honest Pricing

Most automation services charge you for their service and a monthly platform fee for the software they built on top of. We do not. The retainer covers the build, the monitoring, and the fixes. That is it. No hidden costs. No software subscriptions passed to you. What you see on the pricing page is what you pay.

Built Around the Highest-Value Outcomes

62% of calls to service businesses go unanswered. 85% of those callers never call back. 62% call a competitor. The systems we build target that problem first because recovering one missed job per month more than covers the cost of the entire retainer. Every tier starts with missed call recovery for exactly this reason.

How it gets done

From intake to live in four phases

Infrastructure Audit

We review your current workflows, existing communication tools, and identify exactly where leads are falling through the cracks.

Custom Architecture

We build the backend logic, secure data connections, and custom scripts tied directly to your phone lines and Google Sheets.

Copy and Messaging

We write all SMS text-backs, welcome sequences, and review requests in casual, low-friction language that sounds like a real business owner, not a bot.

Deployment and Handoff

We launch everything live. Because the automations run inside your existing Google workspace, you need zero training to maintain it.
