On the job site and unreachable?

Why home service professionals lose jobs every day because they can't answer the phone.

Home service professionals working on job sites miss a large share of all incoming calls, around 62% by some estimates. An AI phone assistant like Vokaro automatically answers these calls, detects emergencies like burst pipes, and books standard appointments directly into your calendar. From $129/month, it's significantly cheaper than a traditional answering service.

Tuesday, 9:45 AM on the job site

Marco is up on scaffolding laying roof tiles when his phone buzzes in his jacket pocket. He can't answer. Twenty minutes later he sees three missed calls: a new customer with water damage, a quote request for a bathroom renovation, and an existing client with a billing question. The new customer has already called another company. He'll try to return the quote request tonight, but by then nobody picks up.
