Auto-Respond

Auto-Respond answers the calls and messages a service business misses, then does something with them. It picks up the phone, runs a real conversation grounded in your services, pricing, and service area, qualifies the caller against the questions you set, and books an open slot on your live calendar before hanging up. You get a text summary; the lead gets a confirmation. The same system covers Yelp, Thumbtack, Facebook, Instagram, and Google LSA messages alongside voice, so marketplace leads don’t sit unanswered overnight.

It’s built around a specific insight about lead response: the business that answers first usually wins the job, and a solo operator physically can’t cover a 24/7 inbound stream while on a ladder or asleep. Rather than promising to replace you entirely, it handles routine intake and escalates the calls that need judgment, active emergencies, high-value commercial quotes, with the conversation context attached, based on triggers you define.

Pricing is refreshingly transparent for this category: every channel price is published rather than gated behind a sales call. Voice is $10/month per number plus $1 per minute of actual talk time, then text channels are added only if you want them, Facebook Lead Ads at $19/month, Messenger at $49, Yelp and Thumbtack at $99 each. There’s a 7-day trial on each channel with no card, contract, lead cap, or setup fee. Worth modelling your call volume first, since the voice metering is where costs move.
