Why Uptick Co.
Most automation platforms are built for tech-savvy marketers. Uptick Co. is built for plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, landscapers, cleaners, and realtors who are on the job all day and need systems that run without touching a computer.
The problem
Most automation tools in this space ask you to do things that are unreasonable for a busy trades business owner.
We built Uptick Co. specifically to eliminate all of that. Your systems run on Google Workspace tools you already own. We handle every technical step. You handle the jobs.

Five things that make us different
Every system runs on Google Workspace tools you already own: Gmail, Google Sheets, and Google Voice. There is no new platform to learn, no new login to manage, and no new monthly subscription for you to pay on top of ours.
To legally send automated SMS messages, your business needs to be registered with mobile carriers through a process called 10DLC. Most tools make you figure this out yourself. We handle brand registration, campaign approval, and number provisioning for every client, and we stay registered so your messages keep delivering.
Every Uptick Co. client gets a dedicated 10-digit local Houston-area phone number registered specifically to their business. Your messages come from your number, not a shared pool. When customers text back, you see it.
We build every system for you. You provide your business information and complete a short setup checklist. We configure everything, test end-to-end, and hand you a live system. No tutorials, no configuration screens, no support tickets.
AI search tools and Google both reward businesses that show up consistently across Google Business Profile, Google Search, and local directories. Our systems run inside Google's infrastructure, which means your automation activity reinforces your Google presence rather than operating outside it.
Common questions
Does Uptick Co. require a Twilio account?
No. Uptick Co. handles all SMS infrastructure through Telnyx, a carrier-grade messaging platform. We register your business, provision your number, and manage your campaign. You never create or manage a Twilio account.
Do I need to install any software?
No. All automation systems run on Google Workspace tools you already own: Gmail, Google Sheets, and Google Voice. There is nothing to install or configure on your end.
What happens if I already use a CRM or scheduling tool?
Uptick Co. systems run independently of your existing tools. You do not need to replace anything. If you use a scheduling platform or CRM, you can continue using it alongside your Uptick Co. systems.
Is there a contract?
No. All plans are month to month. You can cancel with 30 days written notice at any time.
How is Uptick Co. different from GoHighLevel or other white-label platforms?
GoHighLevel and similar platforms require you to manage the software yourself or pay an agency to manage it for you on a platform you do not control. Uptick Co. builds systems that run on infrastructure you already own: your Google account. If you stop working with us, your systems, your data, and your phone number remain yours.
What trades and service businesses does Uptick Co. work with?
Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, landscapers, cleaners, general contractors, pest control operators, salon owners, and real estate agents. If your business takes phone calls and follows up with customers, Uptick Co. can automate that follow-up.
How fast does Uptick Co. send the missed call text-back?
The text-back fires within seconds of a missed call being detected. The message is written in a conversational, human tone rather than robotic automation language. Response speed combined with natural copy is what drives conversion, not an artificial delay.
