Every missed call can be a missed job.
When you're on a roof, under a sink, with a patient, or closed for the night, the phone keeps ringing. Many callers won't leave a voicemail. They just call the next business on the list.

- Calls go to voicemail while you're working
- After-hours and weekend callers hang up

- You spend evenings playing phone tag

What are missed calls costing you?
The starting numbers are estimates. Change any of them to match your business.

Results are estimates, not a guarantee; the receptionist won't win back every missed caller. Monthly figures use 4.33 weeks per month. Receptionist cost assumed at $500/month.

Questions, answered
Does it sound like a robot?
No. It uses a natural, conversational AI voice. Callers can talk normally and ask follow-up questions.
Do I need to change my phone number?
No. You keep your number. We set it up so calls you don't pick up (or all calls, if you prefer) go to your receptionist.
What happens with an emergency call?
You decide. It can flag the call as urgent and alert you right away, or transfer the caller straight to you.
Can it book appointments?
It collects everything you need for an appointment request: name, phone, address, what they need, and when they'd like to come in. You confirm the time.
Will it make up prices or promises?
No. It only shares the info you give it. If it doesn't know something, it takes a message so you can follow up.
How fast can I get started?
Usually within about a day after a short setup call.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. It's month to month after the one-time $500 setup, and you can start with a free 7-day trial.
Can I change what it says later?
Yes. New hours, holiday closures, new services: just call or text us and it gets updated.
