$1,800
lifetime value of a missed weekly-mow signup over one season
70%
of homeowners who can't reach you go with the next landscaper Google shows them
Estimates based on public industry benchmarks (BrightLocal, ServiceTitan, Jobber) cross-checked with trade-forum threads.
How hank works
Three steps. Set up before the next warm Saturday.
STEP 01
Tell hank about your shop
Service area, your maintenance crews vs your design-build crew, your pricing tiers, what counts as recurring vs one-off. Five minutes.
STEP 02
Forward your missed calls
One toggle. While your crews are in the field, hank's voicemail picks up and offers press-2-to-text. Same number for the customer.
STEP 03
Add to the route
hank books recurring signups straight to the route, one-offs to the right crew, contracts flagged for you to handle.
Read hank

FAQ
Stuff landscapers ask before they sign up.
Can it handle the spring-surge volume?
Yes. hank can take 60 missed calls in an afternoon. Every caller who presses 2 gets a text back inside seconds.
Will it feel like the shop?
Yes — hank texts the way your office manager would. He knows your trade, your hours, your service area, your trip charge. Real callers we've tested it on read it as someone at the shop who's been there for years. Try it free for 30 days — if it's not right, cancel before you're charged and you pay $0.
Does it know my routes?
Yes. Tell hank what neighborhoods your crews already serve and he'll add same-area signups straight to the route.
Recurring vs one-off — does it know the difference?
Yes. Weekly mow goes to the maintenance crew. Spring cleanup gets booked one-off. Hardscape gets an estimate visit.
Will it handle a commercial contract conversation?
No — hank flags those for you. HOA, multi-property, big design-build — those are negotiations, not bookings.
Can I keep my number?
Yes. Customers call the same number they always have. The press-2-to-text prompt lives in your voicemail greeting.
