A small home-services business lives and dies by the phone, but can’t justify a front-desk hire. Cara is the answering service built for exactly that — she picks up in your company’s name, sorts a truly urgent call from a quote, books the job, and puts the lead in your pocket, without adding to payroll.
No new hardware · keep your number · cancel anytime.
24/7 call coverage. Every lead captured. Every caller heard.
When you are the owner, the tech, and the dispatcher, the phone is the first thing to fall through the cracks. Here is where the jobs leak.
A one- or two-person shop can’t run the job and the phone at once. Every call you take your hands off the work to answer costs you time — and every one you don’t costs you the job.
A salaried receptionist is real money every month, takes breaks and vacations, and still can’t cover nights and weekends — the exact hours a small shop misses the most.
A generic call center reads a script, can’t answer a caller’s question or book anything, and hands you a callback pile — so you’re still doing the hardest part yourself, after hours.
Not a message service — Cara does the whole job, the same way on every plan.
Cara asks the questions you would ask, flags the burst pipe or the dead furnace as urgent, and texts you a minute or two after the call — while the quote requests get booked for later.
Nights, weekends, and while you’re on a job — Cara picks up in your company’s name and a voice you pick from 23. The call you’d have missed becomes a captured lead instead of a voicemail nobody leaves.
Cara books on every plan, not just the expensive one: onto the ClearLine365 calendar — and, from Starter, onto the Google, Microsoft 365 or Apple calendar you already use. Name, number, and what they need land on the website and in your inbox a minute or two after the call ends.
Go over your plan’s included minutes and you pay your plan’s published per-minute rate — printed right on the pricing page, from $0.35/min on Basic down to $0.22/min on Pro, so your rate gets cheaper as you grow. No surprise bills, no forced upgrade, no automatic tier bump. Your meter warns you at 80%. Your plan changes only when you change it.
Alerts in the app and by email a minute or two after the call ends, with the summary — the full transcript fills in shortly after. The ClearLine365 app keeps every caller, lead, and booking in your hand between jobs. The iPhone and Android apps are in early access. Setup ends with the iPhone install link. For Android, email support@clearline365.com and we’ll add you to the test. Public app-store listings are coming.
Cara understands a Spanish-speaking caller and hands you the lead in English — name, number, and what they need, ready to act on. You choose how she opens: English, Spanish, or a bilingual greeting that invites the caller to continue in Spanish.
Keep your existing number and route calls to Cara — all of them, or only the ones you can’t pick up. Forwarding takes under a minute, no new hardware.
Cara greets callers in your company’s name, with a script tuned to your trade, and answers callers’ questions from what you load.
A truly urgent call reaches you a minute or two after it ends, flagged urgent, so you can decide the response; the estimate goes straight onto the ClearLine365 calendar for the next open slot.
Name, number, what they need, and the full transcript arrive on the website and in your inbox — and in the mobile app — a minute or two after the call ends.
Every plan answers 24/7, flags urgent calls, and books jobs. Go over your minutes and you pay your plan’s published rate — from $0.35/min on Basic down to $0.22/min on Pro, cheaper as you grow — no surprise bills, no forced upgrades. Compare plans →
