Which businesses is InstantResponse.AI built for?

Local service businesses that win or lose on how fast they reply: plumbers, HVAC, electricians, roofers, cleaners, movers, locksmiths, garage door, restoration, carpet cleaning, solar and pest control companies, plus law firms, accountants, real estate agents, dental practices, salons and spas, and caterers.

Can the AI be set up differently for each trade?

Yes. You set your services, starting-at prices, coverage area, hours, questions and follow-ups, and each lead source can have its own settings. A roofer, a plumber and a law firm each get a setup that fits their business.

Does every industry need a different setup?

The product is the same; the questions, urgency rules and handoffs change by trade. Our team helps you shape it during onboarding so it sounds like your business, not a generic bot.

The shared problem

Different trades, the same lead problems.

Customers often contact more than one business, so a prompt, useful reply keeps the conversation going while they decide.

Slow first replies

Customers move on within minutes. Manual replies often arrive after the customer has stopped waiting.

After-hours leads

Nights, weekends and job sites are when leads come in, and when nobody is at a keyboard.

Too many apps

Yelp, Thumbtack, Google LSA and website chat messages live in different places, so some get lost.

Weak follow-up

One reply is rarely enough. Without steady follow-up, warm leads quietly go cold.

Beyond the first reply

Everything else your office gets.

The AI reply is where it starts. Local service businesses also get the inbox, alerts, call review and reports that keep a lead moving after the first message.

One leads inbox

Yelp, Thumbtack, Google LSA and website chat conversations in one leads inbox, with search, filters by date, status, ZIP code and lead type, and CSV export.

Team alerts by email, SMS and WhatsApp

Alerts to up to 10 email addresses, SMS and WhatsApp groups for a new lead, a goal achieved, an AI handoff, or a lead that stops replying.

Google LSA call review

Recordings, transcripts and AI summaries for LSA calls, automatic lead ratings and spam disputes, plus Google's rating status and credit eligibility per lead.

Reports that show what works

Yelp ads and Google LSA reports (including LSA credits), Google Business Profile reporting, and lead reports by source, service type and ZIP code.

Built for multi-location

Each location gets its own business profile and AI settings per lead source. Growth covers up to 3 locations; compare plans.

Guardrails you control

The AI quotes only the starting-at prices you set, keeps spam out of conversations, follows up on your schedule and hands off when a person should take over. See AI settings.

Qualified leads can go to Workiz through its native one-way integration, or to ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, GoHighLevel and other tools through Zapier or webhooks.
