24/7 Chat & DMs

Reply while they're still looking.

We answer website chat, texts, Facebook DMs and DMs to your Instagram business account, day and night. Replies come from your approved business knowledge, and the AI says it's AI. People who are ready get help to book, and every conversation sits in the Universal Inbox (one place for every call, text and message) with its history. Anything that needs your team reaches them during the hours you set.

Our booking page calls this a Growth System Review. You can use the session to discuss and buy this service on its own.

Your next customer may be waiting in a message inbox.

Some people would rather type than call. They ask in your website chat, send a text or message your Facebook or Instagram page, sometimes without visiting your website. When nobody owns the reply, they move on before your team sees it.

Why this work matters

7× Contact a new lead within an hour and you're nearly seven times as likely to qualify it as when you wait even an hour longer. Among businesses that replied within 30 days, the average reply took 42 hours.

Give each new enquiry an owner and measure the time to a useful first reply.

Harvard Business Review (Oldroyd, McElheran and Elkington, 2011) drew on two datasets. The nearly sevenfold figure comes from 1.25 million leads received by 29 B2C and 13 B2B US companies: firms that tried to contact a lead within an hour were nearly seven times as likely to qualify it as firms that tried even an hour later. The 42-hour average comes from a separate audit of 2,241 US companies and counts only companies that responded within 30 days; 23% never responded. The two figures describe different populations and are not a causal promise for this service.

The managed work

What we take care of

Your answers and reply rules

We set up answers from your services, hours, area and the questions that tell you if it's the right job, and agree which conversations go to your team.

Website chat, text and DM answering

We reply on the website chat, text number, Facebook page and Instagram business account you sign up, and take the details needed to carry on.

Booking

We use your questions and your calendar to book people who are ready.

Universal Inbox

We bring every channel into the Universal Inbox with the full conversation history. Calls from the 24/7 Answering Service land in the same place.

Handoffs and checks

We check conversations, fix gaps in answers and pass anything that needs a person to the people you choose, with a summary, during your hours.

Working together

How the service runs

  1. Connect the channels

    We confirm which chat, text and social accounts we connect and what the AI handles versus your team. Cover is around the clock unless you'd rather limit it.

  2. Test real conversations

    We set up your answers and routing, then test sample messages on each channel with your team.

  3. Review the conversations

    We check replies, fix gaps and flag conversations that need your attention.

A clear scope

What to agree before we start

Your proposal lists the accounts you sign up, the message types and what the AI and your team each handle.

Basic enquiry recording and Universal Inbox setup are included. You don't need a separate Process Automation project.

Business texting needs carrier registration, which you approve before texts can send. Instagram DMs need an Instagram business account. Social publishing and public comment moderation are separate. Phone calls belong to the 24/7 Answering Service; follow-up after the first conversation belongs to the Lead Nurture Ladder.

Standalone pricing, timing and service commitments are set out in your proposal. The Growth System’s package timing and guarantee do not automatically apply to an individual service.

Useful details

Questions about 24/7 Chat & DMs

Is a person typing the replies?

No. Replies come from AI working from your answers, and it says it's AI. Anything that needs judgment goes to the people you choose, with the history attached.

Which channels can you connect?

Website chat, text messages, Facebook DMs and DMs to Instagram business accounts. Your proposal lists each account you sign up.

Do we have to buy Social Media Management?

No. Answering messages on your social accounts is separate from content planning and publishing.

Is the Universal Inbox enough to stop missed messages?

An inbox needs someone replying. This service sends the first reply and passes conversations to your team when they need a person.

Connected work

Prefer one managed package?

The Growth System connects work across the customer journey. We plan the work around what your business needs. Capabilities you already handle do not automatically reduce the package price.
