InstantResponse

AI Front Desk for Local Service Businesses

Visit InstantResponse

InstantResponse is an AI front desk for local service businesses that brings message leads from Google Local Services Ads, Yelp, and Thumbtack into one place. It replies to inquiries automatically, filters spam, qualifies prospects with configured questions, follows up until they respond or opt out, and hands the conversation to the team or CRM. Google LSA call recordings, transcripts, AI summaries, and call duration are available in the dashboard when that data is present in the connected account.

Core capabilities include conversational AI grounded in your services, rate card, hours, and voice, with scripted flows available per channel. Team alerts go out through WhatsApp, Twilio SMS, and email, while Zapier and webhooks connect to systems such as ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, Workiz, and Go High Level. Reporting covers response times, lead source, qualified leads, confirmed appointments, and Google LSA call visibility. Multi-location accounts can maintain separate services, pricing, and reporting per location. Voice AI on an existing number, full calendar booking, and call capture outside Google LSA are in Beta.

The platform is aimed at plumbers, HVAC contractors, electricians, cleaners, roofers, movers, law firms, dental practices, and real estate teams. It is offered with a 14-day free trial, no contracts, and the ability to cancel anytime; a demo is available before starting.
