Your First 30 Days on Call and Crawl:
from duct tape to one platform.
A step-by-step playbook for pest control owners going from a duct-taped stack to a single platform without losing a customer or a Tuesday. By day 30, you are running one platform, your phone is always answered, every job ends with a review request, and every quarterly renews itself.
Setup and white-label
Your first week is about laying a clean foundation. Most of this is pointing Call and Crawl at the phone numbers, calendars, and customer records you already have — so the automations you turn on later have clean data to work with.
- Accounts created, brand colors and logo loaded, phone number ported or provisioned
- Existing customer list imported, tagged by service type (residential, commercial, termite, wildlife, mosquito) and account age
- Knowledge base built — services, pricing ranges, service areas, hours, policies, pet safety, chemical info, FAQ
- Route days, tech assignments, and recurring-service cadences (quarterly, monthly, termite bond, mosquito subscription) configured
- Service menu and pricing ranges loaded for Voice AI and Conversation AI reference
Turn on the communication layer
With the foundation laid, this week connects every inbound channel to a single inbox — and arms the first automation layer: missed-call text-back and appointment reminders.
- SMS and email configured, sending domain verified
- Unified inbox connected to Facebook, Instagram, Google Business, website chat
- Missed-call text-back enabled
- Appointment reminder sequences armed (24h, 2h, 30min pre-service)
- Call tracking active across marketing channels
Turn on the AI
Voice AI and Conversation AI only sound as good as the knowledge you give them. This week is about feeding them your pest control vocabulary — callbacks, swarm season, route days, termite bonds, quarterlies — so they can handle the majority of inbound calls and messages without a human.
- Voice AI goes live in shadow mode, routing to your old line after handling
- Conversation AI goes live on the website chat widget and connected messaging channels
- Escalation triggers configured for wildlife emergencies, commercial prospects, and termite inspections
- You listen to call summaries daily and tune the knowledge base
- Voice AI moves from shadow mode to full 24/7 handling once tuning stabilizes
Turn on the automations
With the phone answered and the inbox unified, this week lights up the automations that do the paperwork in the background — renewal nudges, review requests, and lead nurture drips.
- Post-job review request sequence live
- Quarterly renewal nudges live (90-day, bond-renewal, post-callback recovery)
- Lead-nurture drip live for new inbound leads
- Termite-bond auto-renewal workflow armed (60-day reminder, 30-day pay link, renewal processing)
- First monthly marketing broadcast scheduled (seasonal promo: spring termite, summer mosquito, fall rodent, or winter bed bug depending on calendar)
- Invoice reminder sequence live for recurring accounts
What day 30 looks like
One platform. Your phone is always answered — during crawlspace visits, after hours, on weekends, in swarm season. Every job ends with a review request. Every quarterly renews itself. Your office person handles the 20 percent of conversations that actually need a human. Your analytics dashboard shows where leads came from, which campaigns converted, which route days ran light, and which zip codes paid best.
You stopped running the business on yellow pads and a prayer.
