Demo is a plumbing shop (Riverside Plumbing, answered by Sarah) so you can hear a real call. Same product for HVAC, electrical, roofing, and other local services, we set the script to your trade.

Today you’ve got three bad options

Same trap every local shop hits. AnswerLine is the fourth option.

Answer every call yourself

  • Interrupted mid-job
  • Spam and tire-kickers
  • Always playing phone tag

Send it to voicemail

  • Most people don’t leave a message
  • Hard to call back in time
  • They dial the next company

Pay an answering service

  • Per-minute bills add up
  • You still do the booking
  • Inconsistent scripts

AnswerLine picks up when you can't

A calm voice in your shop’s name, not a press-1 menu.

Answers 24/7

After hours, on a job, or when the line’s just busy, every inbound gets a human-sounding pickup.

2

Books or takes a callback

It takes the job details and how to reach the caller, so you get a clean follow-up, not a dead lead.

3

Emails you the details

Who called, what they need, callback number, booked vs follow-up. You’re always in the loop.

Ready in three simple steps

About 2 minutes to sign up, no card needed. We do the wiring.

1

Tell us about your shop

Name, greeting, notify email, hours, and how you want calls covered, or just send your website / Google listing.

2

We set up AnswerLine

We set up the voice that answers as your shop, send you booking requests as a calendar invite you can accept in one tap, and email you after each call. You don’t have to learn any new software.

3

Forward once, or use a new local number

Keep your number with a one-time forward setup, or put an AnswerLine number on the truck. Then call yourself once to hear it.

Built for businesses like yours

Local service shops that lose jobs when nobody can pick up.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. Keep the number on your truck and Google listing. A one-time forward setup (or busy / no-answer / after-hours) sends calls to AnswerLine, then it runs until you change it. Or use a new local AnswerLine number if you prefer.

Will it sound like a robot?

It’s a full-voice agent, not a press-1 menu. Call the demo and decide for yourself, that’s why the number is on this page.

Can it take a booking request?

Yes. We send you the booking request as a calendar invite you can accept in one tap. You also get an email with the caller's details, the issue, and the time they want right after every call.

What about emergencies?

Urgent language gets flagged and you get the details fast. You’re still the one who decides who rolls out.

Is this SMS / text-back?

AnswerLine answers with a real phone conversation. If a caller hangs up before talking, it calls them back within seconds, says up front it’s an AI assistant, and only takes a booking request if they say yes. Texting is in carrier registration now and isn’t live yet.

How long does setup take?

Most shops: a 2 minute signup, then your new number arrives by email in a few minutes. Then one test call.
