Speed-to-Lead Response for Handyman Services

{"faqs":[{"answer":"CallMyLeads answers your inbound calls 24/7/365 — nights, weekends, holidays, and peak season. Callers always know they're talking to AI and can reach a human, text, or book online. If a call is missed entirely, they get an instant text-back with an offer to book, so a homeowner calling about a drywall repair or furniture assembly never hits voicemail.","question":"How does a handyman answering service work when I'm on a job site and can't take calls?"},{"answer":"You set your own response rules — the first message, qualification questions, what counts as qualified, and when to route a call to your team. That means urgent jobs like emergency handyman repairs can be routed to you immediately while routine requests get booked onto your calendar with confirmations and reminders.","question":"Will the AI know how to handle emergency handyman repair calls versus routine requests?"},{"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 team's time.","question":"Is the business texting compliant with US carrier rules for my handyman business?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call to settle the right plan. From there we connect your lead sources — website forms, ads, phone lines, chat, and referral sources — and set your response rules. A one-time flat setup fee is quoted upfront and waived on annual plans, and everything runs automatically into your existing CRM and calendar.","question":"How long does setup take before my handyman leads start getting answered?"},{"answer":"Equivalent human coverage would take at least two full-time hires — CallMyLeads costs a fraction of one salary. Pricing is per-minute with no seats: metered at 21¢/min, managed at 14¢/min plus from $149/mo, or bulk at 9¢/min at 2,000+ minutes. Only minutes actually handling leads are billed, spam and robocalls are never billed, and there's no contract — monthly, cancel anytime.","question":"How is this different from hiring a receptionist or using a call center for my handyman service?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Lead Sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"In a free ~15-minute scoping call, we join your website forms, ads, phone lines, chat, and referral sources to one response system — with a flat setup fee quoted upfront and waived on annual plans."},{"step":"2","title":"Set Your Response Rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"You choose the first message, qualification questions, what counts as a qualified lead, and when to route calls to your team.
