Cactus

Your AI Growth Partner. AI revenue engine. Built for trades.

Visit Cactus

Cactus is an AI answering and lead-booking service for home service and trade businesses, including HVAC, plumbing, roofing, construction, and landscaping. It addresses missed calls, slow responses to web leads, and unused customer records stored in a CRM by answering inbound calls around the clock, replying to new leads quickly, and booking jobs directly into a CRM.

Core capabilities include 24/7 call answering, instant web lead response for LSA, Angi, and web forms, direct CRM booking, live call transfer to a person, and spam blocking. Cactus also works with stored CRM data through estimate follow-up, dormant customer reactivation, automated referral requests, appointment reminders, and a lead-to-revenue dashboard showing which channels produce bookings. A marketing management service is also offered alongside call handling and job booking.

Cactus is aimed at trade and home service operators who want inbound calls and web leads captured without additional staff. The site offers a demo booking, a free revenue-leak assessment, and a test call to hear the AI voice agent; specific plan names, editions, and pricing details are not stated.
