Within the first week, we picked up jobs we would have completely lost before. It's like having a full-time receptionist who never takes a break.
Mark T. — Plumbing Business Owner, Western Sydney
We're easily getting an extra 10–15 booked jobs a week that we would have missed. When you put a dollar value on that, it's a no-brainer.

Revenue Recovery
Turn Missed Calls into Revenuewith AnswerMateAI Receptionist for Small Business.
The Real Cost of Missed Calls
Every unanswered call is a job you'll never see again. For most small businesses in Sydney, that adds up to $20,000–$50,000+ in lost revenue each year from missed calls, after-hours enquiries and unreturned quote requests.
AnswerMate sits on your phone line 24/7, professionally answering calls, booking jobs and capturing every opportunity – even when you're on the tools, with a client, or closed for the night.
- Proven ROI: turn missed calls into booked jobs, reservations and appointments.
- No more voicemail black holes: every caller gets a real conversation, not a beep.
- After-hours coverage: your line keeps working while you sleep, capturing emergency callouts and late-night quote requests.
- Faster quote requests: callers can explain what they need, and we send you a complete lead with all the details.
Guaranteed Results

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How much does AnswerMate cost?
Plans start from $199/month — flat rate, no per-minute fees, no lock-in contract. The Growth plan at $349/month suits most growing businesses, and the Scale plan at $549/month covers high-volume operations. See the full pricing page for what's included in each.
Q. How long does setup take?
Most businesses are live within 48 hours. We handle the entire setup — scripting your AI, configuring your call flows, and integrating with your existing software. You don't touch a dashboard.
Q. Do I need to change my phone number?
No. Your existing number stays exactly as it is. We set up call forwarding so AnswerMate answers when you're busy, after hours, or always — whatever you choose.
Q. Is there a lock-in contract?
No lock-in contracts. You can cancel with one month's notice. We're confident in the product, not the paperwork.
Q. Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
AnswerMate uses a natural Australian voice and is designed to handle calls professionally. Most callers simply experience a prompt, helpful response. We can disclose it's AI in the greeting if you prefer — some businesses do, some don't.
Q. What happens if the AI doesn't know the answer?
We program graceful handovers. The AI takes a message, marks it as high priority, or transfers the call to your mobile if it detects an emergency. You decide the fallback logic during setup.
Q. Do you integrate with my existing software?
Yes. We connect with Google Calendar, Outlook, ServiceM8, AroFlo, Tradify, Cliniko, Halaxy, LEAP, Smokeball, Dentrix, Exact, MyCRM, HubSpot, and most major booking and CRM platforms. Full integration is included — we handle the technical side.
Q. Can AnswerMate book appointments?
Yes. It books appointments directly into your calendar or practice management system and sends the caller a confirmation by SMS. No back-and-forth, no double bookings.
Q. What industries do you work with?
We work with tradies (electricians, plumbers, painters), law firms, medical and dental practices, accountants, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, restaurants, couriers, interior designers, and general small businesses across Sydney.
Q. Can it handle after-hours and weekend calls?
Yes. AnswerMate answers 24/7 including nights, weekends, and public holidays. That's the core of what it does — no missed calls when you're unavailable.
Q. What does the AI say when it answers?
We write a custom greeting for your business during setup. It answers as your business — professional, on-brand, and specific to what your callers need.
Q. Can I set it to only answer overflow calls?
Yes. You choose the forwarding mode: answer only when you don't pick up (overflow), answer all calls (always-on), or answer only outside business hours (after-hours). You can change this at any time.
Q. Do you serve areas outside Sydney?
AnswerMate is available to businesses across Australia. Our primary focus is Sydney but we support Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and regional businesses too.
Q. What happens to call recordings and transcripts?
Every call is recorded and transcribed. You receive an SMS summary after each call and can access full transcripts in your dashboard. Data is stored securely on Australian infrastructure in line with the Privacy Act.
Q. How is AnswerMate different from a virtual receptionist service?
A virtual receptionist is a human working remotely — typically $800–$2,000/month, limited to business hours, and inconsistent across calls. AnswerMate is AI — available 24/7, answers in under two seconds every time, costs from $199/month, and never has a bad day.
What sceptics say after going live
"We were sceptical about using AI, but honestly — customers can't tell the difference. The conversations feel natural, and it handles complex requests better than we expected."
Anthony P. — Automotive Workshop, Parramatta
"It doesn't replace us — it supports us. It handles the repetitive calls so we can focus on actual work and customers on-site."
Jason H. — Roofing Business, Western Sydney
"What impressed us most is the ongoing support. They review calls, tweak the system, and keep improving it. It's not set-and-forget — it actually gets better over time."
Olivia G. — Medical Practice Manager, Sydney
