Lobbydo is the AI receptionist built for home service businesses. It answers calls 24/7, qualifies leads, and books appointments — so you never lose a job to a missed call again.
You're on a roof, under a sink, or in a client meeting. The phone rings. You can't answer. That lead calls your competitor instead.
62% of calls to home service businesses go unanswered. Each missed call is a $150-$500 job walking out the door.

Per-call and per-minute pricing means you never know your real cost. One provider's customers saw bills jump from $660 to $5,100 overnight.

Traditional receptionist services take 2-3 weeks to configure. Detailed scripts, test calls, trial-and-error. You need help now, not next month.

No. Every Lobbydo plan is flat-rate. You pay one price per month regardless of how many calls come in. No per-call charges, no per-minute billing, no overage surprises. Your bill this month will be the same as next month.
About 5 minutes. Forward your business number to Lobbydo (or get a new one), pick your industry template (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, landscaping, and more), customize your greeting, and you're live. No 2-3 week configuration period like traditional services.
No. Lobbydo responds with sub-300ms latency — faster than human reaction time. Callers experience a natural, conversational interaction. No robotic pauses, no obvious "please hold while I process that" moments.
Lobbydo detects urgency automatically. Emergency calls (like burst pipes or no-heat situations) are immediately flagged and routed to you or your on-call team. On Plus and Pro plans, complex calls can escalate to a human receptionist — included in your flat rate, no extra charge.
Yes. You can forward your current business number to Lobbydo using simple call forwarding (works with any carrier). You can also get a new local number from us if you prefer to keep your lines separate.
Everything. You get full access to your chosen plan for 14 days with no credit card required. If Lobbydo doesn't save you time and win you more jobs, you don't pay a cent.
Traditional services use per-minute billing that punishes you for success — more calls means higher bills. They require weeks of setup and detailed scripts. And they're generic — the same service answers for law firms, doctors, and HVAC techs. Lobbydo is built specifically for home services with industry templates, flat-rate pricing, and 5-minute setup.
