Three steps. One working phone line.
Done for you, in days — not weeks.

We price your missed calls
One week of your missed calls recorded — how many, when, and what they cost you. The fee is credited against the build.

We build it for you
Number wiring, calendar, and a script tuned to your trade. You don't touch settings; we do the whole job.
03 · LIVE
It answers your calls
Two weeks of monitoring, then a plain-English handover guide. Your receptionist works; you work.
03 · The proof
The numbers behind the phone.

TODO — first client, first quote
This space is reserved for real client words, with real numbers, and it will be filled the week the first receptionist goes live. Until then, the proof is the work itself: this page was built by the machine it describes.
04 · Pricing
Three prices. Plain. In writing.
Start with the $99 decision, not the $1,450 one.
STEP 1 — THE AUDIT
$99The call-loss audit
One week of your missed calls, recorded and priced — how many, when, and what they cost you. A plain report, delivered in days. The fee is credited against the build.
Book the $99 auditSTEP 2 — THE SETUP
$990–1,450The build, done for you
Number wiring, calendar integration, and a script tuned to your trade. Live in 5–7 days. You don't configure anything; we hand you a working phone line.
Ask about the setupSTEP 3 — THE SERVICE
$199–349/moAnswering, booking, confirming
The receptionist on your number, 24/7, with two weeks of monitoring and a handover guide. Month to month — the terms are written down before any work begins.
Ask about the servicePrices in Australian dollars. Positioning is anchored to verified market benchmarks — Smith.ai answers about 30 calls a month for $300, so a done-for-you build plus $199–349/mo sits under the market rate. Every price is confirmed in writing before any work begins; quotes depend on scope.
05 · Compare
Three ways a call gets answered.
THE STATUS QUO
Missed calls
Every unanswered call is a job that rang someone else. Australian SMEs lose billions a year this way — and the caller usually doesn't ring back.

Straight answers, no fine print.
What does the $99 audit actually give me?
One week of your missed calls, recorded and priced — how many, when, and what they cost you. A plain report, delivered in days, and the fee is credited against the build.
How long until it's answering my calls?
5–7 days from kickoff. Number wiring and calendar first, then your script, then live. We do the whole job — you don't configure anything.
Do I need to change my phone number or provider?
No. We wire it to your existing number — callers dial the same number they always have, and the receptionist answers.
What happens in a power or internet outage?
A phone system needs power and internet. If both drop, calls roll to a fallback you choose — your voicemail or a forwarded number. We set that fallback during the build and flag the limits plainly before you sign.
Is it really 24/7? What about weekends and holidays?
Yes — after hours, weekends, public holidays. That's the point: the jobs you used to miss are the ones that call at 7pm and 2am.
What languages can it speak?
English (Australian) at launch, with a script tuned to your trade's words. Other languages on request — confirmed at audit scope, before any build begins.
Where does caller data go?
Stored privately in our own capture service, read by a person, never sold. Your data is yours — the handover guide includes it.
Can I cancel?
No lock-in contracts. The service is month to month, and the terms are written down and confirmed before any work begins.
