Yelp Virtual Assistant

Yelp Virtual Assistant Services for HVAC and Plumbing Contractors

Yelp is different from every other lead source an HVAC or plumbing contractor uses. On Google, Angi, or Thumbtack, asking happy customers for reviews is normal. On Yelp, it is against the rules, and Yelp's recommendation software may hide reviews that look prompted.

That changes how you win on Yelp. Instead of chasing reviews, you win by answering quote requests faster than anyone else, responding to every review professionally, and keeping your page so complete that homeowners trust it at a glance. A dedicated Yelp Virtual Assistant handles that work every day.

Intelus Agency connects contractors with carefully selected remote professionals who understand Yelp's guidelines and follow your existing procedures.

Intelus Agency is an independent virtual assistant provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Yelp. Our virtual assistants never ask anyone for Yelp reviews, never offer anything for a review, and never change ads or billing without your approval.

Yelp Request a Quote lets homeowners describe a job and send it to several local businesses at once. The homeowner then compares replies, so the first clear, helpful response often wins.

• Replying within minutes with a friendly, job-specific message
• Asking about system type, water heater age, or where the leak is
• Sharing a price range or diagnostic fee from your approved pricing

Yelp Leads Follow-Up and Booking

Yelp Leads come in through quote requests, messages, and calls from your page. Many homeowners compare several companies, so steady follow-up turns more of them into booked jobs.
