Most new customers don't leave a voicemail — they call the next name. Answered Line puts an AI receptionist on your line that answers every call, books the job, and texts you what happened, while you finish the job you're on.
Don't take our word for it. Call it and try to stump it.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you. Then decide.$97/mo for your first 90 days, setup free, then $297. In return: a short testimonial, a 30-second phone video, and a Google review once it's booked you a job. After the three spots, the next seven get setup waived at $297.
Nights, weekends, while you're under a sink. Nobody gets voicemail.
Your services, hours, service area, and the eight questions you get asked every day.
Existing customer with a problem goes to the office. New quote goes to sales. Solicitors get screened.
Straight into your calendar, in the hours you set, with a confirmation text to the caller.
Name, number, address, what they wanted — seconds after the call ends.
Voice and text, first line of contact for your business. We can clone your voice so callers hear the owner, not a bot.
Forward your existing line in two minutes, or use ours as your business line.
Only about 38% of calls to small businesses get answered by a person. Of the callers who hit voicemail, most hang up without a message, 85% never call back, and 62% call a competitor next. Run your own numbers:
| Option | Monthly | What you actually get |
|---|---|---|
| A business phone line | $25–$35 | A number. It still rings to voicemail when you're on a ladder. |
| Answering service (human) | $235–$325+, billed per minute | A stranger reads a script, takes a message. No booking, no texting the caller, overage every busy month. |
| Part-time receptionist | $1,300–$1,800 | 20 hours a week. Nights, weekends, and lunch still go to voicemail. |
| Full-time receptionist | $4,000–$5,300 | Business hours only, plus payroll, benefits, sick days. |
| Answered Line | $297 | The line, 24/7 voice and text answering, booking, transfers, call summaries — in your own voice if you want. |
