What the phone looks like in Columbus
Columbus keeps ordinary hours and a compact service radius, which means the calls you miss are mostly the ones that come in after five. Those are also the ones from people who noticed a problem when they got home.
When it gets busy. The freeze and thaw cycle, which is hard on pipes, and the first cold week when every furnace gets tested at once.
For a locksmith business that shows up as a lockout, a rekey, new locks, a broken key in the lock, arriving at whatever hour the caller noticed the problem. The ones you cannot let sit are a lockout, especially late at night, in bad weather, or with a child or pet inside, and those are exactly the calls that come in after your desk has gone home. HiThisIs answers them in Columbus the same way it answers the ones at eleven in the morning, takes the address and what is wrong, and texts it to you.
Locksmith answering in Columbus
Does it flag a lockout with a child or pet inside?
Yes. A lockout, especially late at night, in bad weather, or with a child or pet inside, gets flagged as urgent and texted to you right away. A rekey or a new-lock quote is captured as a normal lead.
Can it get the exact location for a car lockout?
Yes. It captures where the caller is, the vehicle or address, and whether they are locked out right now. You head straight there.
Does it answer the 2 a.m. lockout calls?
It answers around the clock, so the late-night lockout reaches you instead of the next locksmith in the search results. That is when these calls come.
Can it handle rekeys and new locks too?
Yes. It takes the address, what they need, and a callback number, and sets up a time. You get every lead by text and email.
