Stop leaking local opportunity.

Elevata installs the operating system behind your business — so calls, quotes, reviews, and follow-up stop slipping through the cracks.

A Santa Barbara systems company serving owner-operated trades and service businesses in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, Montecito, Summerland, Hope Ranch, and the Mesa.

Where the money leaks

Missed calls

The job goes to the next name on the list

Unfollowed quotes

Estimates die in silence

Unrequested reviews

Good work stays invisible

Scattered tools

The owner carries the whole system in their head

One recovered job can pay for the system.

That's the whole pitch, and you can check the math yourself. If your average job is $1,500 and your line misses ten calls a month, only two of those need to have been real jobs for the leak to cost $3,000 — every month.

One recovered call covers the foundation work. Two revived quotes cover most of a full install. If the numbers don't work for your business, the audit says so and you keep the findings.

Example arithmetic at a $1,500 ticket. The audit runs this with your real numbers.

Built for the trades that keep the South Coast working

Owner-operated businesses, 2–25 people, where the owner still answers the phone and the name on the truck means something.

Plumbers HVAC Electricians General contractors Remodelers Roofing and solar Tree and defensible space Landscapers Painters Property managers

Not for restaurants, retail, or enterprise teams — those are different problems than the ones this system fixes, and we'd rather say so here than waste your audit.

How an engagement runs

Three phases, priced in the open, each one standing on its own. Every engagement starts with the $350 audit — credited toward any install.

Phase 1 · Foundation

$500–$1,500

Weeks 1–2

Your Brand Reference, a Google Business Profile overhaul with the review engine, and missed-call text-back live on your line.

Phase 2 · The Install

$2,500–$4,500

Weeks 3–6 · 50% up front

Website with booking and quote forms, the day 1/3/7/14 quote pipeline, payments, and review automation — one system, one account.

Phase 3 · Operator Layer

$197–$997/mo

Month 2 and on

AI follow-up in your voice, one monthly reactivation campaign to your customer list, and the one-page clarity report.

Capture before attention

The industry sells more attention — more leads, more content, more traffic. We fix the bucket before pouring more water. Here's the honest comparison:

Lead-gen platform

Sells the same lead to four competitors. You pay to race your rivals to a phone call.

Web designer

A brochure with your logo on it. Nothing answers the phone, chases the quote, or asks for the review.

Software subscription

Powerful, unconfigured, and abandoned by month three. A login is not a system.

SEO retainer

A monthly ranking report. Rankings are not revenue, and the report never shows the difference.

Elevata

An installed, working capture system — missed calls answered, quotes followed, reviews requested, payments collected — with a monthly scoreboard in plain dollars. Local, accountable, inspectable.

Built locally. Installed by a real operator.

The system behind the work

Elevata was founded in Santa Barbara by Alexander Stoeber to fix a pattern he kept seeing in local businesses: not a shortage of skill or demand, but a shortage of capture. The phone rings while the owner is under a sink. The quote goes quiet. The five-star job ends without a review. The owner carries too much in their head.

Elevata installs the system behind the work — then proves what it recovered, in dollars, every month. Trust is earned the way a good contractor earns it: show up, do the work, show the numbers.
