{"faqs":[{"answer":"Every new lead from a form, ad, chat, referral, or booking request gets a reply in seconds, and inbound calls are answered 24/7/365 — including nights, weekends, and holidays. Appointments get booked with confirmations and reminders straight into your existing calendar, so nothing waits until you climb down off the ladder.","question":"I'm usually on a job during the day — how does this handle leads while I'm working?"},{"answer":"Yes, and that's by design. Callers are always told they're talking to AI, and every caller can reach a human, use text, or book online. Clear disclosure builds trust rather than hiding behind it.","question":"Will homeowners know they're talking to AI instead of me?"},{"answer":"Yes. Business texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), consent and telemarketing quiet-hours laws are followed, and opt-outs are honored immediately and automatically. The booking flow collects explicit consent, and known spam numbers are screened before they waste your time.","question":"Does the texting follow US carrier and telemarketing rules? I don't want compliance problems."},{"answer":"It starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call to settle your plan. Then CallMyLeads connects your lead sources — website forms, ads, phone lines, chat, and referral sources — and sets your response rules with you. Everything runs automatically after that, with a one-time flat setup fee quoted upfront and waived on annual plans.","question":"How long does setup take for a handyman business?"},{"answer":"Equivalent human coverage for 24/7/365 answering would take at least two full-time hires. CallMyLeads costs a fraction of one salary with per-minute pricing, no seats, no contract, and cancel anytime. It also does more than answer: instant text-backs, qualification and scoring, booking with reminders, and nurture follow-up until leads book — all running into your existing CRM and calendar.","question":"How is this different from hiring a receptionist or using an answering service?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Lead Sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Your website forms, ads, phone lines, chat, and referral sources get joined to one response system in a done-for-you setup."},{"step":"2","title":"Set Your Response Rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"You decide the first message, qualification questions, what counts as a qualified lead, and when to route a caller to your team."},{"step":"3","title":"Leads Get Answered and Booked","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"Every new lead gets an instant reply in seconds, qualification with automatic scoring, and a booked appointment with confirmations and reminders — with follow-up running on its own until they book."}],"ctaText":"Stop paying for leads you never get to talk to.

Research shows 95% of handyman services don't respond in under five minutes, and 71% take over an hour — while 78% of customers choose the first responder.
