{"faqs":[{"answer":"CallMyLeads fires an instant text-back in seconds, offering to book. The homeowner gets a reply before they dial the next handyman near them, and if they're interested, the appointment gets booked on your calendar with confirmations and reminders.","question":"What happens when I miss a call while I'm on a job?"},{"answer":"Pricing is per-minute with no seats or minimums. Metered is 21¢/min, Managed is 14¢/min plus from $149/mo (most popular), and Bulk drops to 9¢/min at 2,000+ minutes a month. There's no contract — it's monthly and you can cancel anytime. Only minutes actually handling leads are billed; screened spam and robocalls never are.","question":"How much does missed-call text-back cost for a small home repair shop?"},{"answer":"Yes. Business texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), and consent and telemarketing quiet-hours laws are followed. Opt-out is honored immediately and automatically, and the booking flow collects explicit consent.","question":"Is automated texting compliant with carrier and telemarketing rules?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call. We connect your phone lines, forms, ads, and referral sources to one response system, then you set your response rules — your first message, qualification questions, and routing. After that, everything runs automatically into your existing CRM and calendar.","question":"How long does it take to get set up?"},{"answer":"Equivalent human coverage would take at least two full-time hires; CallMyLeads costs a fraction of one salary and never goes offline — 24/7/365, including holidays and peak season. Callers always know they're talking to AI, and every caller can reach a human, use text, or book online. Everything flows into your existing CRM, and your leads, data, and calendar stay yours.","question":"How is this different from hiring an answering service or a full-time dispatcher?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Phone Lines","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We join your phone lines, forms, ads, chat, and referral sources to one response system.
