Two short calls and your phone starts answering*
Three steps and two short calls with us. Nothing to install, and you keep your number.
*You fill in a short form, then take two calls with us: the first checks everything over, the second sets up your receptionist and shows you how it works. Your phone starts answering right after that second call — so how soon depends mostly on how quickly you can take the two calls. We keep fine-tuning how it quotes and books your specific jobs over the following days.
Forward your number
Keep your existing number — calls forward to your AI receptionist.
We learn your business
A short form, then two short calls: the first checks everything over, the second sets up your receptionist and shows you how it works.
Your phone starts answering
Right after that second call, every call gets answered and booked — 24/7, including nights and weekends. We keep fine-tuning it over the following days. You just show up to the jobs.
It doesn't just answer. It gets you found.
When someone searches for your trade nearby, Google shows a map with three shops on it. Reviews are part of how it picks them. Your AI asks for one after every job.

No contracts. Pay monthly and cancel anytime, or pay for the year and get two months free. Either way you keep your number. Calls, texts, and AI minutes beyond your plan bill at published usage rates, with monthly credits included that reset each month — no rollover.
If a call reaches your AI and goes unanswered, just tell us — your next month is free. Calls where the caller hangs up before the line connects aren't counted (there was nothing to answer yet), and we can't cover a carrier outage or your call forwarding being switched off. The guarantee covers your monthly service fee; the Basic ($197) setup fee is one-time and non-refundable — it covers your onboarding. Setup is free on Plus and Core. Plus includes a monthly usage credit toward AI voice minutes that resets each month with no rollover; usage beyond it is metered at published rates. Unlimited plans are for the normal use of a single business and are subject to fair use — we'll always talk to you first if your usage is far outside what's normal for your trade.

Does it sound like a robot?+
No — it uses a natural, human-sounding voice and answers in about 2 seconds. Most callers can't tell. Want proof? Call (872) 246-9117 right now and hear it yourself.
What happens if it can't answer something?+
It captures the caller's name, number, and reason for calling, books the appointment if they're ready, and routes anything complex straight to you with a full transcript. You never lose the lead.
How long does setup take?+
Two short calls. First you fill in a form about your business — your hours, services and pricing. Then you take two calls with us: the first checks your account is set up correctly, and the second is where we set up your AI receptionist and show you how it works. Your phone starts answering right after that second call, so how soon you go live depends mostly on how quickly you can take the two calls. We then spend the following days fine-tuning how it quotes and books your jobs. You keep your existing number — we forward it — and we connect your calendar or CRM (Jobber, Housecall Pro, Google Calendar, and more).
Will it book jobs directly into my calendar?+
Yes. It books straight into your connected calendar/CRM in real time, so qualified jobs show up without you lifting a finger.
What about after-hours and weekends?+
That's the point. It answers 24/7/365 — nights, weekends, holidays, and while you're on a job — so the calls you'd normally miss turn into booked work.
How do I get more Google reviews out of this?+
Once a job is done, your AI texts that customer a short review request with a direct link, so leaving one takes a couple of taps instead of a search. When a review comes in, it drafts a reply and posts it, good or bad. You're not chasing anyone and you're not writing replies at 9pm. It's included on Core.
Why do Google reviews matter so much for my trade?+
When someone searches "plumber near me", Google puts a map of three local businesses above the normal results, and that's where most of the clicks go. Review count, star rating and how recently you were reviewed are among the signals that decide who lands there. Most shops ask for reviews only when they remember to, which is rarely — so the spot goes to whoever asks consistently. Asking automatically after every single job is the whole difference.
Is my customer data safe?+
Yes. Calls are securely processed, never sold, and you own all your data. We use US-based numbers.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. No contracts. Month-to-month. Cancel whenever you want and keep your number.
How is this different from a call center or answering service?+
A traditional service costs $3,000+/mo, puts you in a queue, and just takes messages. LiveAnsweringAI answers instantly, qualifies the lead, and books the job — for $297/mo.
