{"faqs":[{"answer":"Your phone lines are connected to CallMyLeads, and every inbound call is answered 24/7/365 — nights, weekends, and holidays. Callers hear approved answers to your FAQs, get qualified with your questions, and can book a consultation directly.

Every caller knows they're talking to AI and can always reach a human, use text, or book online. You set the routing rules for when calls go to your team.","question":"Will callers know it's AI, and can they still reach my team?"},{"answer":"Yes. Business texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), consent and telemarketing quiet-hours laws are followed, opt-outs are honored immediately and automatically, and the booking flow collects explicit consent. Known spam numbers are screened before they waste your team's time.","question":"Does CallMyLeads handle compliance for business texting?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call to settle the right plan.
