Missed call text-back for trades and home services

Your callers don't leave voicemails. They call the next guy.

You miss a call, AnswerBot texts the caller back, asks what the job is and where, and emails you the lead. No AI voice ever speaks to your customer.

How it works

One missed call, three things happen.

1

A customer calls and you can't answer

The call rings out, the way it always has.

2

AnswerBot texts back, asks for the basics

Closest intersection and a photo of what's wrong.

3

The lead is in your email

Caller, job, location, photo and transcript. Reply when you're free.

What lands in your inbox

Every lead, in plain English, in your email.

Goes to the inbox you already use

Gmail, Outlook, the tablet in the truck.

The photo comes with it

Attached, ready to drop into a quote or send to your supplier.

Enough to price it in your head

You know if it's an emergency before you call back.

Questions people ask before signing up.

Do I need to change my phone number?

No. You keep your existing number. Forwarding only fires on calls you don't answer.

How is this different from an AI receptionist?

No voice AI, ever. It's a text from a local number.

How long does setup take?

About ten minutes. You dial a short code, and there's no app to install.
