Will the agent quote my service prices?

No. It gathers details, books or hands off, and leaves pricing to your team. Invented numbers on a recorded line create chargebacks and angry reviews.

What if we exceed 500 calls?

We call you. There is no silent overage meter. One unusual month is handled; consistent volume gets a higher-tier quote.

Is this the same as SEO?

No. SEO at $1,000/mo is optional on-site work. Answering is operations. Buy the one that matches the hole in your month.

Can this fix a bad website?

It can save leads the site already generates. It cannot invent trust on a slow or unclear site. Sometimes the first move is still the 14-page fullstack site, free for the first 10. After that, founding is $1,250.

AI answering: $399/mo

Before the numbers

Missed calls erase SEO spend. Answering products range from cheap voicemail apps to human centres billed per minute. Our AI answering service is $399/mo flat for one number and up to 500 answered calls, with transcripts and a book-or-not outcome. It does not invent prices on the call. Phone +1 (250) 344-1619.

Read these with a caveat

Human centres quote wide ranges because minutes and overages dominate. Compare whether the service can put a job on your calendar, not whether the demo voice sounds friendly.

What each tier actually buys

Missed-call text back only

$99/mo

What you get: Automatic SMS when a call rings out.
Right for: Shops that answer most calls but leak a few each afternoon.
The catch: Text back is not live answering during a flood call.

AI voice agent

$285–$500/mo

What you get: Answers, qualifies, books or hands off with a transcript.
Right for: Trades with overflow and after-hours demand.
The catch: Agents that quote prices or over-promise arrival times.

Human answering centre

$500–$900/mo+

What you get: People on the line, usually per-minute after a base.
Right for: Businesses that need empathy-heavy intake.
The catch: Overage bills and scripts that only take messages.

What moves the number

Call volume

Per-minute centres punish busy hail weeks.

Booking rights

Message-taking is expensive voicemail; calendar booking is the product.

After-hours share

Emergency trades pay more for nights and weekends.

CRM fit

If it cannot write into your dispatch tool, someone retypes every lead.

How to read a quote
