An AI receptionist answers your business line when your crew cannot: after hours, on weekends and while you are on a roof or under a house. It books the estimate, texts back anyone it misses, speaks English and Spanish, and syncs every lead to your CRM.
What should a contractor know first?
- What it does. Answers after hours and on the job site, books the estimate, texts back missed calls, speaks English and Spanish and syncs to your CRM.
- What it costs. AI implementation is quoted per business after a short call. The Starter plan is $397 a month.
- What you commit to. The Starter plan is month to month. AI implementation terms are in your quote.
What does an AI receptionist do for a Houston contractor?
- Answers every call. Nights, weekends and the middle of a busy week, with no voicemail tag.
- Answers on the job site. Your crew keeps working while the phone is covered.
- Books the estimate. The caller leaves with an appointment, not a promise to call back.
- Texts back missed calls. Anyone it cannot reach gets an automatic text, so the lead stays warm.
- Speaks English and Spanish. A caller who prefers Spanish gets an answer in Spanish.
- Syncs to the CRM. Every lead lands in the system you already use.
- Hands off to a person. Urgent calls follow escalation rules that you set with us.
Why do missed calls cost contractors jobs?
A homeowner with a problem calls one contractor, and if nobody answers, calls the next. The call usually comes from your Google Business Profile, so the phone number and hours on it matter. Google explains how to edit your Business Profile, and its tips to improve your local ranking start with complete, accurate information.
Ranking gets the phone to ring. Answering is what turns the ring into a job. That is why we pair the receptionist with Houston local SEO for contractors.
Does an AI receptionist speak Spanish?
Yes. The receptionist works in English and Spanish. Many Houston households speak Spanish, and a caller who reaches an English-only voicemail may hang up and call someone else. Answering in the caller's language removes that gap, and the lead still lands in your CRM.
What does an AI receptionist cost in Houston?
AI implementation is quoted per business after a short call. The quote is built from scope, integrations and call or message volume, so there is no price list for it.
The quote depends on call volume, the number of integrations and the tools you already use, and we confirm it in writing after the fit call. See the pricing page for what the Starter plan covers.
- AI implementation: custom pricing. Request a quote.
- Starter plan, $397 a month: a website, light SEO and AI-SEO, Google Business Profile optimization and LeadExploder access (our lead-capture and follow-up platform). Month to month.
- Ad management add-on: from $500 a month per channel (Google Ads and Meta) plus ad spend. The fee increases with spend and is quoted on the call.
How does setup work?
A receptionist build is scoped, built and tuned as one project. Setup covers these pieces:
- Setup and integration with your CRM.
- A knowledge-base build, so the receptionist answers the way your company answers.
- A test run against real traffic before it takes live calls.
- Tuning after launch.
- An escalation playbook, which spells out which calls go to a person.
- Written SOPs, so your team knows how it works.
