KeptRing

When a crew is on a roof or under a house, the phone rings out. Some callers don't leave a voicemail. They call the next contractor.

KeptRing answers the calls you miss. It tells every caller it's an automated assistant and that the call may be recorded. Then it takes the details any good office manager would: name, callback number, address, what's wrong, and how urgent it is. You get a lead email right after the call.

It's built for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, restoration, garage door, remodeling and other trades. It covers business-hours missed calls, plus after-hours calls if you turn that on. For a gas smell or a CO alarm, it tells the caller to leave the house and call 911 or the gas utility from outside. It gives no repair instructions.

Nothing goes live until you approve it. You call a test number, hear how it answers, and edit the script.
