CloseReply

Here's what actually happens when someone lands on closereply.com right now.

A plumber's dispatcher fills out a "get a quote" form on Google at 9pm on a Saturday. Nobody's in the office. Normally that lead sits in an inbox until Monday morning, by which point they've already called two other plumbers and booked with whoever answered first.

With CloseReply running, the inbox never goes quiet. The AI agent reads the incoming email, understands it's a service request, and replies within 60 seconds from the business's own Gmail address, not a generic no-reply bot. It asks the right qualifying questions (address, issue, urgency), and by the time the owner checks their phone Sunday morning, there's already a warm, qualified lead waiting instead of a cold one.

That's the whole pitch: reply first, win the job. 78% of buyers go with whoever responds first, and most small service businesses (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, real estate, dental, law) simply can't staff someone to answer instantly, 24/7.

From there the visitor path is short on purpose: see the 60-second stat and the live demo on the homepage, start the 7-day free trial, connect Gmail and Twilio, and CloseReply is answering their real leads the same day. Plans run $149-$499/month depending on volume, well under what Podium charges for a much heavier tool.

I'm sharing this here because I'd rather get torn apart by this community before I spend more on ads: closereply.com if you want to see the demo yourself, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone who's sold into home services or local SMBs before.
