Tree Down in the Storm. Customer WhatsApps. Your AI Responds Instantly.

A homeowner with a tree across their drive at 6am photographs the damage and messages multiple tree surgeons simultaneously — much faster than calling each one individually. The photo provides instant context that a phone call cannot match: species, size, what it is resting on, access width. The AI reply wins the job while competitors are still asleep. Post-storm WhatsApp leads with photos convert at significantly higher rates because the customer can see you have understood the scale of the problem.

When a customer sends a photo of a fallen tree, a dangerous lean, or a cracked limb, the AI acknowledges the image and asks targeted follow-up questions — what the tree is resting on, whether anyone is in danger, whether power lines are affected, and what vehicle access is available. Your lead notification arrives with a photo plus the critical safety and logistics information you need to decide whether to attend immediately or schedule for later.

Whether you are a sole trader arborist or a tree care company running multiple crews, WhatsApp captures the enquiries you cannot respond to while on site. A solo tree surgeon benefits from the instant replies that would otherwise wait until the end of the working day. A larger tree removal company benefits from handling storm surge messages at scale — twenty simultaneous WhatsApp enquiries during a named storm, each receiving an immediate professional reply.

When a customer messages about a single tree, the AI naturally asks whether there are any other trees on the property that need attention — overgrown hedges, deadwood in other trees, stumps from previous work. This expands the average job value without feeling like a hard sell. A message about one crown reduction often leads to a booking for crown reduction, hedge trimming, and stump grinding — tripling the job value from a single WhatsApp conversation.

£29/month as an add-on to the Core plan. Unlimited messages — storm surge volumes do not increase your costs. One emergency tree clearance captured via WhatsApp — worth £200 to £800 — covers the annual add-on cost. For tree surgery businesses that rely heavily on storm work, the AI pays for itself in a single bad weather event.

Property developers, estate managers, and local authorities use WhatsApp to coordinate tree work across large sites — sending aerial photos, sharing tree survey reports, and requesting quotes for multiple trees. If you're on a different site and can't reply for hours, they contact another arborist. Your AI responds within seconds, capturing the number of trees, site access details, and any TPO or conservation area constraints. At £29 per month, one captured development site clearance at £5,000-£20,000 makes the service cost negligible.

Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've updated your section-fell pricing, added stump grinding to your services, or changed your seasonal working hours, we'll update your ai whatsapp within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any tree surgeon business makes: adjusting prices, tweaking your service list, updating opening hours, or changing your service area. We want your AI to always give your customers accurate, up-to-date information about your tree surgeon business.
