Gastonia's home services market
Older homes.
More service calls.
More opportunity.
Gastonia is the largest city in Gaston County with a population of ~80,000 and a county population of ~230,000. Sitting west of Charlotte on I-85, Gastonia's housing stock is older on average than Charlotte's — that means more service calls, more repairs, more upgrades needed. At the same time, new residential growth is making Gastonia an affordable alternative to Charlotte. You've got a mix of established homeowners who need reliable contractors and new residents who don't have one yet. The contractors who show up first on Google are winning both.

What makes Boxi different
Not another generic agency
that doesn't know Gastonia.
We specialize in home services — not "everything"
Most agencies serve restaurants, gyms, and contractors all at once. They don't know the difference between a service call and a new-construction install bid. Boxi focuses on home services contractors. We understand seasonal demand, flat-rate pricing, and what drives a homeowner to call.
Our AI works when you can't
You're on a job in Belmont, pulling permits in Gaston County, or finishing a service call in Mount Holly. Our AI answers your phone after hours and texts back missed calls in seconds. It follows up on form fills instantly and requests reviews after every job.
We publish our prices
Most agencies make you sit through a pitch before you hear a number. Boxi's pricing starts at $497/month. It's on our website. No 12-month contracts, no setup fees, no surprise line items. You know what you're getting before you commit to anything.
Real results
From 18 in 90 days — Charlotte metro HVAC company on Growth plan
AI texts back every missed call — before your competitor picks up
Every plan is month to month. Cancel with 30 days notice, no penalty.
"We run an HVAC shop out of Gastonia and always lost after-hours calls to the bigger Charlotte companies. Boxi's AI started picking up those calls and texting leads back instantly. Our review count tripled in two months and now we're the top-rated HVAC company in Gaston County on Google. Honest work, honest marketing."

Why Gastonia contractors leave their agency
The pattern is consistent.
A Gastonia contractor signs with an agency. Pays $2,000–$4,000/month. Six months later they have polished monthly reports, no clear view of what those reports mean, and a contract with half of it left to run.
Opaque reporting
Lots of impressions and clicks, no connection to actual jobs booked or phones ringing.
Every lead tracked to its source. You see calls, texts, and form fills — not vanity metrics.
Generic strategy
The same playbook they use for a dentist or a restaurant — not a plumber working Gaston County.
We only serve home services contractors. We know the difference between a service call and a new-construction install.
Long contracts
Locked in before you know if it's working. 12-month minimum is standard.
Month to month. Cancel any time. You stay because it works, not because of paperwork.
No speed-to-lead
Leads sit in a CRM for hours. In Gastonia, where homeowners value reliability, that job went to someone else.
AI follows up in 10 seconds. Gastonia homeowners want honest, fast service — first response wins.
