Patio and deck enquiries plan slowly, then book all at once
Somebody starts thinking about a deck in February and signs in April. In between they gather ideas, ask three companies, and go quiet for weeks at a time. Then the first warm weekend arrives and everyone books at once. AutoCampaign.ai answers each enquiry in minutes, keeps the conversation warm through the quiet stretch, and gets the design visit onto your calendar before the rush.
— Sound familiar? —
The season compresses everything
Enquiries trickle in through winter and then arrive all at once in spring. The ones that came early are the ones most likely to have been forgotten.
Long gaps between conversations
A homeowner planning a patio may go dark for a month. Without something keeping the thread alive, the company they call back is whoever happened to check in.
Design visits that never get booked
Plenty of enquiries never turn into a site visit, not because the homeowner lost interest but because nobody made booking one easy.
Every one of these is a conversation your system should have caught ↓

Frequently asked questions
Our enquiries go quiet for weeks. Can follow-up handle that?
That is the case it is built for. A sequence checks in by text and email at the intervals you set — days or weeks apart — and stops the moment the homeowner replies, books or opts out. Nothing keeps going after they have answered.
Can we reach last year’s enquiries when the season starts?
Yes. Send to the list you choose — past customers, enquiries that never booked, anyone you have not spoken to in months — by text and email, with the estimated cost shown before you send.
Does it work for fencing and hardscape as well as decks?
Yes. You describe the work you do and the area you cover, and replies are drafted from that. Fencing, pergolas, patios, concrete and landscaping all follow the same shape: an enquiry, a site visit, a quote and a decision that takes a while.
Do we have to change how we run jobs?
No. Works alongside the tools you use to run jobs. We handle the conversation before the job — enquiry, reply, booking, follow-up — and a REST API with signed notifications connects to your own systems.
