We set up a system that answers every real call, screens out the spam, and makes sure ChatGPT and Google recommend you, not the company with 14 reviews.
Local. No long contracts. You own your calls, your number and your Google profile.
Owners tell us most of the calls they miss are telemarketers and robocalls. The few real ones are paying work, and there's no way to tell which is which when you're under a sink.
Someone with water on the floor or no AC in August isn't waiting for a call back. They try the next company on the list.
Right now, those answers often name someone else. Sometimes a company with a handful of reviews gets recommended over one that's been doing the work for twenty years.
In October 2026 we asked ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI who the best HVAC company and emergency plumber near Beverly Hills are. They named only about half of the top 10 companies on Google Maps for HVAC, and about 3 in 10 for emergency plumbing. Several listings with fewer than 5 reviews were recommended over established companies with hundreds.
One snapshot, October 2026. AI answers change, which is why we re-check monthly.
And this isn't a future problem. In one 2026 survey of about 2,000 homeowners, 22% said they already use AI tools like ChatGPT or Google AI Mode to research or book home services.
Put in your own numbers. The math is simple, and it's shown below.
How it's worked out: missed calls per week × 4.33 weeks × % real customers × % you'd book = jobs missed per month. Jobs × average job value = revenue missed. With the starting numbers that's 10 × 4.33 × 20% × 50% = about 4.3 jobs, or about $1,949 a month.

Every real call gets answered, even when you're tied up.
We connect to common field service tools where supported, like Jobber, Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan. Ask us about yours.
Sent automatically, so nobody in the office has to remember.
AI tools read your Google profile, your website and a few directories. Clear, complete, consistent information gets recommended. We fix those places, then re-check.

We check what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google say about your trade in your area.
We walk you through what we found. No pressure to buy anything.
Most setups take about 1 to 2 weeks. You keep working.
On the schedule you pick, and we re-check your AI visibility.
Not if it's set up right. The AI handles the simple stuff fast, like hours, booking and basic questions, and hands real or urgent jobs to a person right away. You choose what it handles. Most callers just want a fast answer instead of a voicemail.
It actually answers. It talks to the caller, books the visit or takes the job details, screens out spam and robocalls, texts back anyone who hangs up, and sends you a summary of every real call. An answering machine just records a message most people won't leave.
AI tools read your Google Business Profile, your website and a few directories for your trade. When that information is clear, complete and the same everywhere, you're easier to recommend. We fix those places, then re-check what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google say about you. Nobody can guarantee a recommendation.
Yes, when it's set up right. Business texting in the US requires carrier registration, called A2P 10DLC, and proper opt-out language in the messages. We handle that as part of setup.
Only if you want it on. California requires consent from everyone on a call to record it, so if recording is turned on, the system tells callers at the start. You decide whether recording is on.
Ours starts at $750 to set up, then starts at $249 a month. That covers 24/7 answering, spam screening, booking or taking job details, urgent call hand-off, a text summary of every call and missed-call text-back. Paired with our Get Recommended Care Plan, the bundle starts at $1,200 to set up, then $500 a month.
Ours starts at $750 to set up, then starts at $249 a month, with no long contract. That includes 24/7 answering on the number you already have, spam and robocall screening, booking the visit or taking the job details, urgent call hand-off, a text summary of every real call and missed-call text-back. Traditional answering services usually bill by the minute or by the call, and most still pass spam calls through to you, so you end up paying for those too.
It's worth it if missed calls are costing you jobs. If you already answer almost every call, or most of your work is repeat customers who will wait for a call back, it may not be. The quick way to know is to put your own numbers into the missed-call calculator on this page. If the jobs you're missing each month are worth more than the monthly cost, it pays for itself.
No. Monthly plans cancel anytime. Prepaid annual plans are only for people who want the 15% savings.
The call-answering system and ads work anywhere in the US. The local AI and Google work is focused on West LA, so we know the market.
Verification problems, a missing call button, a listing that won't show up, ownership transfers, duplicate listings and suspended profiles. It's a one-time fix that starts at $350. Google makes the final call on suspensions, so we'll tell you honestly what we can and can't get back.
We'll send it within 2 business days. No sales pitch in it, just what we found.
