Texts from our clients' local numbers
GedDev, LLC operates local phone lines for a small number of home-service businesses (heating, plumbing and roofing contractors), under a signed agreement with each owner. Each text names the business it comes from and comes from the same local number you called. You only ever get a text after you have called that number.
How you opt in: you call the business's published local number to ask about service. Before the call connects, a short recorded notice plays:
"This call may be followed by a text from this number. Reply STOP to opt out."
That call is the consent record. Texting is never a condition of getting service.
What we send
- Missed call: if your call is not answered, you get one text from the same number asking what you need and whether it is urgent. If you reply, a short text conversation follows to get you scheduled; if you do not reply, nothing further is sent.
- After the job: once the owner confirms the work is done, one thank-you text with a link to leave a Google review, and at most one reminder a few days later if no review was left. No discounts, rewards or incentives are offered, and we never ask for a particular rating or wording. No more than 2 of these per completed job.
- Frequency: at most 1 missed-call text-back, plus up to 2 review-related texts, per completed job.
- The missed-call text-back can be sent any hour, since it answers a call you just placed. All other texts (reviews, reminders) are sent between 8am and 9pm local time only.
- Reply STOP to any of these texts to opt out. You will get one confirmation and nothing further from that number. Reply HELP for help.
- Message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or service.
- Your number is used only to send these texts on behalf of the business you contacted. It is not sold, rented or shared. See the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
Texts to business owners
GedDev, LLC operates local phone lines for a small number of home-service businesses under a signed service agreement with each owner. That agreement includes the owner's written consent to have us text their customers from the business's dedicated tracking number, and to notify the owner by text of activity on their own account.
How the owner opts in: the owner reads and signs the following consent clause at onboarding, before any owner-facing text is sent:
I give GedDev, LLC / Second Truck Marketing permission to, on my business's behalf:
- Reply to customer reviews on my Google Business Profile.
- Create posts (service updates, seasonal reminders, offers) on my Google Business Profile.
- Send text messages to my customers from the dedicated tracking phone number assigned to my account, for the purpose of requesting reviews and confirming appointments.
I understand:
- I will be notified within 48 hours of any change made to my account (a reply sent, a post published, a listing field changed).
- I can end this arrangement at any time. Once I ask, access is removed and texting stops within 7 business days.
- Nothing published on my behalf will state a fact about my business that I have not confirmed (no invented years in business, no claims about licensing, no "family-owned" or similar).
That signed clause is the consent record. Texting is never a condition of the service agreement.
What we send
- Daily account notification: once a day, the owner gets one text from GedDev, LLC listing that day's callers to their tracking number. This is the account activity notification named in the signed clause above.
- Frequency: at most 1 text per day, sent only to the owner's own number.
- Reply STOP to opt out at any time. Once the owner asks, access is removed and texting stops within 7 business days, matching the signed agreement. Reply HELP for help.
- Message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or service.
- The owner's number is used only to send this account notification. It is not sold, rented or shared. See the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
