Hear it answer before you buy (469) 535-7496 Tap to call. It answers as a sample garage door company. Interrupt it, ask in Spanish, say your garage door won't open.- Thanks for calling Northside Garage Door, this is Sam. What's going on with the door?
- Hey, the spring snapped and the door won't open. My car is stuck in the garage.

- 8 am is fine, I'll take the other car.

What last month's missed calls cost you
Many callers to home-service businesses never reach a person. They do not leave a voicemail; they call the next shop on the list. Move the sliders to your numbers.

Written on the pricing page, so it is the agreement
Owners leave answering services for the same five reasons every time: the bill, the contract, the support, the robot, and the phone number. Each line below is the opposite of one of those.
- Month to month
- No order form, no annual term. The pricing above is the whole agreement.
- Cancel in one click, same day
- Your billing page has a cancel button. Your call forwarding is reverted before midnight. No notice period, no exit fee. The whole process is on one page.
- One published overage rate
- $0.25 a minute past your plan, with a text at 80 percent. Spam, robocalls, hang-ups, and any call under 15 seconds are never billed.
- Your number is yours
- You keep your number. If you leave, it goes with you, free.
- A human answers support
- Sam answers your Keepdesk line 24/7. A real person answers support email within one business day, usually the same day. Same-day help if your line stops working.
- It never guesses
- Two tries to understand, then it takes a message or transfers to you. It does not invent prices or promises.
- Weekly calls to look at
- Every week you get the three to five calls the assistant handled worst, with the fix already made.
- Hear it before you pay
- Call the demo line. If Keepdesk does not pay for itself in recovered jobs within 60 days, cancel and keep the setup work.
Switching from Podium, Birdeye, Smith.ai, Ruby, Weave, or Goodcall?
Setup is free. Send us your current agreement and we will tell you the exact notice date, the exact words to send, and how to keep your phone number. Both services run in parallel until your notice period ends, so you never miss a call during the switch.
Email us your agreementQuestions owners ask
What do I pay today?
The first month of the plan you pick: $149, $297 or $497. Setup is $297, paid on your setup call, and free if you are switching from another answering service. Through December 1, use code BLACKFRIDAY for 50% off your first month, and setup is $148.50. After that you are billed monthly in advance.
Will callers know it is an AI?
It introduces itself as your assistant and answers honestly if asked. Callers care that they got an answer and a booking, not who typed it.
What if it cannot answer something?
Two tries, then it takes a message or transfers to you. It is built to stop, not to improvise.
Do I keep my number?
Yes. Most clients keep their number with their own phone company and forward calls to us with one code on their phone. If you leave, your number goes with you, free.
What do I have to set up?
Nothing. We get on a 30-minute call, we build and test the assistant, you call it yourself, then you forward your line. Your first call summary arrives within a minute of your first call.
What if I go over my minutes?
$0.25 a minute, and you get a text at 80 percent so it is never a surprise. Spam, hang-ups and calls under 15 seconds never count.
What if I want out?
Cancel from your billing page any day. Forwarding is reverted the same day and the last month is the last charge.
Who do I talk to when something is wrong?
Our team, at (945) 523-3430 or vince@keepdesk.net. A real person answers support email within one business day, usually the same day. Same-day help if your line stops working.
Free missed-call audit
In 15 minutes we call your line the way a customer would, at lunch and after hours, and show you what last month's missed calls cost. No pitch unless you ask for one.
Why we built Keepdesk
Keepdesk was founded by Vince Sandlin, who has spent 21 years in commercial flooring in the Dallas area, the last 11 as founder and CEO of a high-volume contracting firm, with crews in the field and a phone that never stopped. Every missed call was a job that went to someone else, and every answering service tried billed for hold time and spam and locked the business into a year. Keepdesk was built to fix that for owners who run the work themselves.
