The phone carrier needs to check your ID before you can have a business phone number. It's a one-time thing per account. Required by law.
On our call: Rick will pull up a QR code on his screen. You scan it with your phone camera. Upload a photo of your ID, take a quick selfie, done. Secure. Encrypted. No app to install.
Pick any one of these IDs:
Why this matters: Without it, no business phone number. Without the number, we can't set up your missed call text-back or your review system. This unlocks everything.
Your sales person will type while you talk. Same way you handled payment. Faster and easier than filling a form alone.
What we'll ask:
- Business info (name, address, phone)
- What you do and what makes you great
- Services you offer + areas you cover
- Business hours
- Social links (Facebook, Instagram, Yelp)
- Your favorite color for the website
- Do you have an EIN? Do you have a Google Business Profile?
Takes about 10 minutes. We do it together so you don't get stuck.
Not on a call right now? You can fill it on your own. Takes about 10 minutes alone.
These are the 2 things we need from you to finish building. If we get them by morning, we start tomorrow.
1. EIN letter (the IRS letter with your business tax ID). Needed for your local phone number. If you're a sole proprietor without an EIN, ignore this, we'll set you up with a toll-free number instead.
2. 25+ job photos. Before and after shots. Team photos. Job site photos. More is better. No stock photos, real work only.
Fast track: Send tonight, build starts tomorrow morning. Send in 3 days, build starts in 3 days. Your timeline, your call.
Here's what we'll be doing behind the scenes. You'll hear from us at each check-in below.

Day 2 to 7
Website + systems built. We work in the background. No action needed from you.
Day 7
