Thanks for calling Summit Heating & Air. How can I help tonight?
Our AC stopped working and it's 88 degrees inside.
I'm sorry to hear that. I can get a technician out first thing tomorrow. Would 8:00 AM or 10:30 AM work better?
8 AM, please.

The problem

Missed calls are missed revenue

When you're with a customer, on a job site, or closed for the night, the phone still rings. Most callers won't leave a voicemail. They call the next business on the list.

27%

of calls to home services businesses go unanswered.

FAQ

Common questions

Will callers know they're speaking with an AI?

Yes. Your agent introduces itself as an AI assistant for your business. Callers get a fast, friendly answer instead of voicemail, and they can always ask to be connected to a person.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Keep your existing number and forward calls when you can't answer or after hours. We can also provide a new local number if you prefer.

What happens with emergencies or urgent calls?

You decide the rules. Urgent calls can be transferred to you or whoever is on call right away, and you'll get an immediate text with the details.

Will it work for my type of business?

If customers call you to ask questions, get a quote or book an appointment, yes. We tailor the agent to your industry, whether that's a service visit, a cleaning, a consultation or a haircut.

Can it handle medical or legal calls?

The agent can book appointments, answer general questions and take messages. It does not give medical or legal advice, and it passes anything sensitive to your team. Practices that need HIPAA-compliant handling should mention it on our call so we can set things up correctly.

Does it work with my calendar?

We connect your agent to the calendar we set up for you, and we can sync with Google Calendar or Outlook so appointments land where you already look.

How long does setup take?

Most businesses are live in about 7 days. Text messaging registration with the carriers can occasionally take a little longer, and we handle it for you.

Is there a contract?

No. All plans are month-to-month. You can cancel at any time.

What if the agent gets something wrong?

We review conversations every week and keep improving your agent's answers. You can also flag any call and we'll update it quickly.

Who is behind SteadyHandle?

SteadyHandle was founded by Michael Tariq Jamal, who also runs Get On Maps, a service that helps local businesses grow their presence on Google Maps.
