Questions from plumbing company owners.
Will the receptionist sound like a robot to my customers?
No. Your AI receptionist speaks in a natural voice you choose, keeps answers short, and reacts the way a person would ("Oh no, let's get that sorted"). Callers are told once, in the greeting, that they're talking to an AI, and the receptionist never pretends to be a person.
Can the AI receptionist handle emergency plumbing calls?
Yes. AlwaysRespond triages urgent calls like burst pipes and sewer backups, captures the customer's address and details, and texts you immediately so you can respond fast.
Will the receptionist know my service area and pricing?
Yes. You set both during setup, along with your hours. Your AI receptionist uses them to tell a caller what you cover and roughly what it costs, before booking anything.
What happens on a call the receptionist can't handle?
Your AI receptionist never guesses. The receptionist takes a message with the caller's name, number and what they need, and sends it to you straight away. If you turn on transfers, your receptionist can ring your phone and put the caller through, and if you don't pick up, the message is taken instead.
How does the receptionist book appointments?
AlwaysRespond syncs with your Google Calendar and checks real-time availability. When a customer calls, the AI receptionist finds an open slot that works and books it, so nothing is double-booked.
What if I already have a website and phone number?
No need to change your number. You simply forward calls to your AlwaysRespond line when you're unavailable, or all the time. Setup takes about 10 minutes.
What does AlwaysRespond cost next to a receptionist or an answering service?
Small Business is $79 a month for 100 calls, Growing Business $149 for 300, and High Volume $299 for 600, with every feature on every plan and the phone answered around the clock, nights, weekends and holidays included. The first month is free, there's no setup fee and no contract, and you can cancel online any time.
