You know this pain

You can't take the call with gloves on

Hands full with a client, under a sink, up a ladder — every ring goes to voicemail. And 85% of those callers never call back.

Voicemail tag kills the lead

You call them back after the job. They called three other plumbers. The fastest reply wins — and you weren't it.

No-shows cost you a half-day

When you finally do book, you have no automated reminders and people ghost. One no-show = two hours of lost billable time.

What you get

Every feature built for how your business actually runs.

AI receptionist 24/7

Sounds like a professional front-desk person. Quotes your standard services, asks qualifying questions, and only escalates the weird stuff.

Drops jobs on your calendar

The AI offers open slots directly in the SMS thread using your built-in calendar — no Cal.com or Calendly required. The customer picks a time via text and it's on your calendar before you finish the current job. Day-before SMS confirmations cut no-shows from ~25% to ~5%.

Replies in under 3 seconds

Your customer gets a real reply before they can dial the next business on their list. The race to respond is over.

Auto reminders & confirmations

Reduces no-shows by ~50% with 24-hour and 2-hour SMS reminders, and a "Running late?" check-in 10 min before.

Lead quality scoring

Tags every inbound by intent (urgent/quote/question/spam) so you know which leads to call personally and which the AI can close.

Escalates real emergencies

Flood? Gas smell? Power out? The AI recognizes urgency keywords and pings you immediately via push or Slack.

How it works

01

Tell the AI about your services

2-minute setup — type in your service list and prices, or let the AI scrape them from your website automatically.

02

Work the job, ignore the phone

Calls come in while you're on a job. You don't touch your phone. The AI handles the conversation from first text.

03

Walk off the job with bookings waiting

Check your phone between jobs and find a calendar full of confirmed appointments. That's it.

From businesses like yours

I'm a solo electrician. Before this I'd lose 3-4 leads a day to voicemail. Now every one of them gets a text back and I book half of them without lifting a finger.

I run a salon with 4 stylists. We stopped missing client bookings completely. The AI re-books regulars, answers 'do you have an opening?' 100 times a day — and my front desk can finally check people out.

Home health is relationship-driven and families panic when nobody picks up. Now they get a warm response immediately and a real human follows up within the hour.

Frequently asked questions

Does it integrate with my scheduling software?

RingbackSMS includes a built-in calendar by default — the AI offers open slots and books appointments directly via SMS, no Cal.com or Calendly required. If you already run Google Calendar, Square Appointments, or Acuity we can sync via webhook. Day-before SMS confirmations are included.

Will the AI sound like a robot?

No. Every tenant gets a custom personality tuned to their business — friendly salon, no-nonsense trades, warm caregiving. Most customers assume they're texting your front desk.

Can it handle emergencies?

Yes. You define urgency keywords (flood, no power, elderly fall, etc.) and the AI escalates those directly to your phone as a push notification instead of handling them via text.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Keep your existing number or port it to us. Either way, customers see your business name — not 'Unknown.'

How much does it cost?

Free plan up to 50 SMS/month. Pro at $49/mo covers up to 1,000 SMS which is enough for most solo operators. Business at $129/mo for busy multi-staff shops.
