CRM Setup & Automation for Fort Lauderdale Businesses

Most Fort Lauderdale service businesses lose more revenue to bad follow-up than to bad marketing. The leads come in, someone gets pulled into the day, and by the time anyone responds the prospect has already booked with a competitor. We fix that. White-label or custom-built — we set up and run the entire CRM + automation stack so your team can focus on the conversations that actually need a human.

What's included

• Platform selection (white-label CRM like GoHighLevel/Keap or fully custom-built)
• Lead capture from website forms, calls, SMS, WhatsApp, and social DMs
• Missed call text-back automation (instant SMS when a call goes unanswered)
• Multi-step lead nurture sequences (email + SMS, 3–7 touches)
• Review request automation tied to job completion
• Appointment reminders + confirmations (24h + 2h before)
• Reactivation campaigns for cold leads (quarterly cadence)
• Internal lead routing + notifications (Slack, SMS, email)
• Integrations: Google Calendar, Stripe, QuickBooks, Twilio, Mailchimp, and more
• Monthly performance reporting + automation tuning

White-label CRM: live in 2–4 weeks. Custom build: 6–12 weeks depending on scope.

Which CRM platform do you use?

For most clients: GoHighLevel, Keap, HubSpot, or Zoho — selected based on your workflow. For complex needs: fully custom-built on a stack you own.

Do you handle the messaging too?

Yes — automation copy is part of the setup. We write the SMS, email, and follow-up sequences in your brand voice.

Yes — opt-in handling, A2P 10DLC registration, and compliance with US SMS regulations are part of the setup.
