Hatch automatically texts your home services leads: "Hi, this is ABC Plumbing following up on your request. When works best?" Good text. But the lead came from a $50 Google Ad because your organic SEO is on page 3. And when the lead called instead of texting back, nobody answered because there is no voice AI. Hatch automated one channel (text) while the dominant channels (search, phone) remain unoptimized.
TL;DR
Hatch automates texts. Growth requires all channels. The Webevo platform provides voice AI, text AI, SEO, and reputation — every channel automated, every channel growing.
