What breaks when you DIY it

Most owners don't fail at picking a receptionist. They fail at setting it up: no emergency rules, no service area, a bad handoff to a human, no booking link. Our CallBench tests check exactly these. Full results and call clips publish Wed Oct 28, 2026 on the test page.

Guarantee
Live in 48 or it's free. Pass the test or we keep fixing it.

Speed: if your receptionist isn't answering calls within 48 business hours of your intake call (after you've sent the form and forwarded your line), we refund the full $497 and finish anyway.

Quality: if your setup scores under 80/100 on our test calls, we keep fixing it free. Can't get there in 14 days? Full refund.

We don't guarantee revenue, booked jobs, or vendor uptime. We can't control those, so we won't promise them.

How we make money
you pay us for the setup. If you choose a vendor we partner with, that vendor may pay us a referral commission. Your price is the same either way, and we'll set up vendors that pay us nothing. Scores on TradeTested are never for sale. Full disclosures

FAQ

How much does it cost?

$497 one time for the setup. You pay the receptionist vendor directly for your plan, on your own account and card.

Why do you charge the same no matter which vendor?

So our pick follows your needs, not our commission. Some vendors pay us a referral fee and some pay nothing. Your price doesn't change, and we'll set up a vendor that pays us nothing if it fits you better.

What does "live in 48 business hours" mean?

The receptionist is answering your calls within 48 business hours (Mon–Fri) after your intake call, as long as you've sent the intake form and forwarded your line. If not, we refund the $497 and finish the job anyway.

What does the 80/100 score mean?

We run scripted test calls on your setup and score them on the public CallBench rubric. Under 80, we keep fixing at no charge. If we can't get there in 14 days, full refund.

Do you guarantee more booked jobs?

No. We guarantee what we control: speed and test-call quality. Jobs depend on your market, prices and follow-up.

Why only 3 a week?

Brandon places the test calls himself. Three is what he can do well alongside running the site.

Do you need my passwords?

No. You create the vendor account. If the vendor supports team invites, you invite us. We never ask for your password.

Is it legal for an AI to answer my calls?

Yes, with disclosure. We turn on the vendor's AI and recording notice. Texting customers may need extra registration through the vendor. This isn't legal advice.
