    General & Working with Creux

    Everything you need to know about partnering with Creux Digital, our philosophy, and contracts.

    We work primarily with local service businesses across the United States—including home services (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping), automotive shops, healthcare & medspas, legal practices, and appointment-based local companies. If you rely on local customers finding you, calling you, and trusting you, our systems are built for you.

    No. We believe in earning your business every single month. Our plans are month-to-month subscriptions with 0 binding long-term contracts. You can cancel anytime with zero penalties or hidden exit fees.

    We are proudly headquartered in Houston, Texas, serving businesses nationwide subject to availability and requirements. You get direct, responsive support from a real US-based team that understands local service operations.

    Our systems are completely modular. You can start with the single solution that solves your most pressing bottleneck today, or bundle multiple services for a more integrated approach. See our Packages page for the four ways we group our services.

    We offer 21 services grouped into four packages: website development, AI voice reception, Google review automation, AI chatbots, CRM and lead management, automated follow-up, local SEO, social media, email and SMS marketing, appointment booking, analytics, AI lead qualification, missed-call text-back, customer reactivation, sales pipeline automation, paid advertising, e-commerce, custom AI workflows, multi-location management, AI content production, and website care and maintenance. Start with one or combine several.

    The Creux Digital Growth System is an integrated, customizable package: website, AI voice receptionist, chatbot, review automation, CRM and lead management, follow-up, booking and reminders, local SEO, email and SMS marketing, pipeline automation, and analytics and reporting. Social media management, paid advertising, and custom AI workflows are optional add-ons, not included by default. The package is customizable, and optional services, third-party costs, advertising budgets, and usage allowances are not automatically included.

    We integrate with supported CRM, calendar, communication, and marketing tools where compatible. Compatibility depends on your platforms, access, and requirements—contact us to confirm what's possible for your setup before we build.

    Yes. We're headquartered in Houston, Texas and serve businesses nationwide, subject to availability and requirements. You get support from a real US-based team.

    Yes. We support multi-location businesses with location-specific pages, lead organization by location, supported review monitoring, separate calendars and routing, and centralized reporting where supported. Not every platform offers identical controls; we work within what each supported platform provides.

    Timelines depend on the services selected, your content readiness, and the integrations involved. We focus on building consistent systems rather than promising a specific launch date, and we'll set clear expectations during your consultation.

    Website Development

    Details on our custom, high-speed website engineering, hosting, and mobile experience.

    Many local websites are built on bloated themes with dozens of plugins that load slowly and break often. We engineer clean, modern, mobile-first code that loads quickly and guides mobile visitors directly to click-to-call and quote booking actions. Performance depends on your content and integrations, and we'll be clear about what affects it.

    Yes! We connect your website forms and booking buttons directly into your existing CRM, Google Calendar, Calendly, or field management software so leads flow seamlessly to your team in real time.

    Yes. You maintain full ownership of your domain name. We handle all DNS configuration safely with zero downtime to your business email accounts.

    Every site includes comprehensive technical and on-page local SEO: structured JSON-LD schema markup, optimized meta descriptions, responsive image formats, fast server response, and localized service headers.

    Our managed hosting plan covers full continuous care—including security updates, SSL certificates, daily backups, and minor text/image edits on request so you never have to touch code.

    Automated Voice Reception

    How our AI voice assistant handles calls, qualifies leads, and forwards emergencies.

    It's an AI receptionist configured to your phone lines and business information. The AI voice receptionist can answer incoming calls, including after hours, when configured. It speaks naturally with callers, answers common questions about your services and hours, helps capture lead details, and can route urgent calls to on-call staff. We configure it to your business so calls are handled consistently, with human oversight to keep it accurate over time.

    Not at all. We train natural, human-sounding conversational voice models with natural pacing and warm tone. Callers have fluid conversations, can interrupt naturally, and get direct answers without pressing numbers.

    Within seconds of the call completing, your team receives an SMS and/or email containing a concise bullet-point summary, customer contact details, full written transcript, and a link to the audio recording.

    Yes. We set custom escalation rules. For example: if a caller reports a water leak or urgent breakdown at 2 AM, the system detects the high priority and instantly transfers the call to your designated on-call technician.

    No! You keep your existing carrier and phone numbers. We set up simple call forwarding rules (either forward all calls, forward when busy, or forward after-hours only) so your numbers remain completely unchanged.

    Google Review Automation

    Automating authentic review requests, compliance, and Google Map Pack ranking impact.

    When a job or service is marked complete in your workflow (or when your team taps one simple dispatch button), our system automatically sends a friendly, personalized message with a direct Google review link. The customer taps once and lands on your review page. We follow Google's policy: no review gating, no only-positive solicitation, no bought reviews, and no promised rating or number.

    Yes. We do not 'gate' reviews (filtering unhappy customers away from Google), nor do we offer paid incentives or fake testimonials. We strictly adhere to Google's Terms of Service and FTC compliance by inviting all real customers to share honest feedback.

    Google reviews are one of the factors customers consider when choosing a local business, and they can influence your visibility in local search. A steady flow of recent, authentic reviews helps build trust with prospective customers. We never promise specific ratings, counts, or rankings.

    Where supported, our monitoring alerts you immediately. We provide recommended response frameworks so you can publicly demonstrate care and professionalism. A prompt, empathetic response often resolves the client's concern and reassures prospective buyers looking at your profile.

    Yes, where permitted and with consent. During onboarding, we can run a past customer reactivation campaign that gently invites your recent clients to share their feedback on Google, within policy.

    Pricing & Onboarding

    How our pricing works, payment terms, and what happens after you sign up.

    Every business has unique volume and requirements, which is why we provide transparent, straightforward quotes during your quick strategy consultation. All services operate on transparent, predictable monthly pricing with zero surprise per-lead fees or hidden charges.

    Onboarding is quick and painless. We schedule a 20-minute kickoff to collect your business details, logos, phone forwarding preferences, and Google profile access. From there, our Houston team builds everything, and we hold a recorded walkthrough before going live.
