Pool service companies: stop losing jobs to voicemail.
You're on a route with wet hands and a test kit, and the phone won't stop. Answered Line answers every call to your pool service company in one ring, signs up weekly service, books openings and repairs, and texts you what happened.
Don't take our word for it. Call it and hear it for yourself.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you. Then decide.We will build your receptionist and call you with it — free. Tell us your business name, what you do, and your hours, and you will hear it answer as your company before you pay anything. If you like it: $97/mo for your first three months, setup free, then $297. Month to month, cancel anytime.
What changes the day it goes live
You keep your number
We port your number in, and the line is included. Your customers, your truck, your Google listing — nothing changes for them. Nothing goes to voicemail.
It handles the solicitors
Your customers get answered and booked. The SEO pitch, the warranty call, the merchant services guy — they get a polite no and never reach you. You only hear about the calls worth hearing about.
Answers in English and Spanish
Your receptionist answers in whichever language the caller speaks and switches mid-call. You never lose a job over language, and every summary comes to you in English.
Lower cost than any other way to answer
$297 a month, flat, line included. A human answering service runs $235–$325 and bills by the minute. A part-time receptionist is $1,300–$1,800. Nobody else books the job and texts you the summary.
You walk into every call already knowing the job
Name, address, what they need, when — texted to you seconds after the call. You call back prepared, not guessing.
Your time comes back
No more stopping the job to answer, no more evenings returning voicemails. The phone gets handled; you do the work you get paid for.
The calls a pool service company actually gets
Pool calls spike at opening season and every time a pump dies in July. The company that answers turns one green-pool call into a weekly account.
"My pool turned green"
Captures the address, pool size and how long it's been, then books a cleanup or recovery visit.
"How much is weekly service?"
Quotes from your pricing rule and signs them up for a start date — that's recurring revenue.
"My pump is making a noise / won't turn on"
Captures the equipment and symptoms and books a repair visit or flags it as urgent.
Opening and closing season
Handles the rush of open/close bookings at once. Nobody gets a busy signal.
What it does on every call
Answers in one ring, 24/7
Nights, weekends, while you're on a route. Nobody gets voicemail.
Answers your customers' questions
Your services, hours, service area, and the eight questions you get asked every day.
Transfers by your rules
Existing customer with a problem goes to the office. New quote goes to sales. Solicitors get screened.
Books appointments
Straight into your calendar, in the hours you set, with a confirmation text to the caller.
Texts you the summary
Name, number, address, what they wanted — seconds after the call ends.
Sounds like you
Voice and text, first line of contact for your business. We can clone your voice so callers hear the owner, not a bot.
Keeps your number
Line included. We port your number in or give you a new one, plus two more free.
What a missed call actually costs
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:
What the alternatives cost
| 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. |

Questions owners ask
Can it sign up weekly service customers?
Yes. It quotes weekly or biweekly service from your pricing, captures the address and pool details, and books the first visit.
Will my customers know it's AI?
Most never ask. If they do, it says so plainly and offers a callback from a real person. Nobody gets voicemail.
What if it gets something wrong?
Every call is transcribed and sent to you. Tell us what to change and it's fixed the same day.
Do I have to change my number?
No. We port your existing number in, so your customers keep calling the same number. Your line is included, plus two more numbers free.
Does it stop solicitors and sales calls?
Yes. Real customers get answered and booked; sales pitches get a polite no and never reach you. They are never transferred and never booked — you just see them in your call log.
Does it speak Spanish?
Yes. It answers in English or Spanish, whichever the caller speaks, and switches mid-call if they do. Your call summaries still come to you in English.
Is there a contract?
No. Month to month, cancel anytime.
What kind of businesses is this for?
Anyone who misses calls while working: plumbers, HVAC, electricians, roofers, landscapers, cleaners, pest control, painters, auto shops, salons, dental and chiro offices, law offices, property managers.
The whole back office for pool services, one sign-up
Phones answered, missed calls texted back, reviews, follow-up, estimates, a crew app, social, SEO, ads and a website. Pick any or all of it. Each service is its own month-to-month plan.
