How It Works
From missed call to booked job in seconds
No apps for your crew to learn. It runs on the number you already advertise.
The call comes in
A homeowner calls about emergency plumbing. Your AI receptionist picks up on the first ring - no hold music, no voicemail.
It qualifies the lead
Natural conversation that pulls job type, address, urgency, and budget - then scores it automatically so you know who to prioritize.
The slot gets booked
It reads your real Google Calendar availability and books the appointment on the spot. No double-bookings, instant confirmation.
You get the details
Name, number, job details, qualification score, and booked appointment time hit your phone. Show up and close.
Why ClientRelay
A full front desk, for less than one shift of wages.
All-in-one: phone and video
AI phone answering and a video-avatar receptionist in one platform. Every channel lands in a single dashboard - no juggling multiple tools.
Flat pricing, no per-minute meter
Ruby charges $235-$1,640/mo with per-minute billing. Smith.ai starts near $975/mo. ClientRelay starts at $99 - busy months don't punish you.
A fraction of a receptionist
A full-time hire runs $35,000-$50,000 a year and works 40 hours a week. ClientRelay handles unlimited concurrent calls and never takes a sick day.
Books straight into your calendar
Live Google Calendar availability, instant confirmations, and no back-and-forth scheduling. The appointment exists before the call ends.
Qualified leads, not messages
Traditional answering services hand you a name and a number. You get budget, authority, need, and timeline - so you know which lead to chase first.
Live in 5 minutes, not 5 days
Connect your business profile, link Google Calendar, forward your number. Your receptionist starts answering on the same call you set it up.
Trusted by service businesses
“I was skeptical about AI answering our phones, but callers can't tell the difference. It's like having a full-time receptionist for a fraction of the cost.”

Common questions
Absolutely - that's where it shines most. The AI answers every call 24/7, identifies emergencies by keyword ('burst pipe,' 'flooding,' 'no hot water'), captures all the details, and texts you immediately so you can decide whether to dispatch.
You configure your service list, pricing ranges, and service area during a 5-minute setup. The AI uses this to qualify callers - if someone needs sewer work and you don't do sewer work, it lets them know politely and takes a message.
The AI can provide the pricing ranges you've set (e.g., 'drain cleaning typically starts at $150-$250') or let the caller know that exact pricing requires an on-site assessment. Either way, it captures their info so you can follow up.
Traditional answering services charge $1-$2 per minute and use human operators reading scripts. ClientRelay.AI is a flat monthly rate, answers instantly (no hold music), and actually books appointments into your calendar - not just takes messages.
No. ClientRelay.AI is month-to-month with no long-term contracts. Start with a 14-day free trial and cancel any time if it's not for you.
Plans start at $99/month for the Starter plan (10 qualified leads, AI phone receptionist, Google Calendar integration). The Pro plan is $199/month and adds video agent, priority support, and higher volume. No per-minute fees ever.
