Cleaning SMS Intake flow

From missed call to booked cleaning.

This walkthrough shows how a cleaning lead can be recovered by text, qualified with a few clear questions, summarized for the owner, and moved toward a booking without handing control to a chatbot.

BrightNest Cleaning Owner approved
Missed call: new cleaning inquiry
Hi, this is BrightNest Cleaning. Sorry we missed you. We can help by text. What type of cleaning do you need and what city/ZIP are you in? Reply STOP to opt out.
Move-out clean in Johnson City. 3 bed, 2 bath, about 1,650 sq ft. Hoping for Friday.
Thanks. Are there pets, heavy buildup, or any add-ons like oven/fridge interior? Photos of the kitchen and bathrooms are helpful.
Owner view: move-out lead, Friday timing, high value, photos requested before firm range.
Approved reply: This looks like a good fit. After reviewing photos, we can confirm a range and offer Friday afternoon or Monday morning.
Friday works. Send the deposit link and we’ll reserve it.

What happens behind the scenes

A simple flow with owner control at the right moments.

1

Recover the lead

The missed call becomes a quick text thread while the prospect still has buying intent.

2

Collect cleaning details

The system asks for ZIP, clean type, home size, timing, pets, add-ons, condition, and photos when needed.

3

Summarize for the owner

The owner sees a concise lead summary, missing fields, risk flags, and suggested next reply.

4

Approve the customer reply

Quotes, booking promises, unusual scope, and deposit links stay gated behind owner approval.

5

Move toward booking

The customer receives a clear CTA: send photos, confirm a slot, approve the range, or pay a hosted deposit.
