What we handle
A front desk that moves at field speed.
Home-service answering, overflow answering, qualification, booking, and urgent-call routing configured around how your business already works.
Lead qualification
Capture the service, location, timing, and details your team needs.
Appointment booking
Book approved slots or send a structured appointment request.
Urgent-call routing
Follow your transfer, notification, and emergency boundaries.
The operating model
Your number stays yours. The missed calls become ours.
Start with the calls you cannot take. Call Metrix adds a reliable answering layer without asking you to replace the systems your business already uses.
Set the rules: services, areas, hours, FAQs, and urgent definitions.
Forward overflow calls: keep your current business number.
We answer: a live receptionist follows your approved call flow.
Receive the outcome: appointment, transfer, or organized summary.
Simple monthly plans
Choose the answering layer that fits your call volume.
Every recurring plan includes a trained live receptionist, an approved call flow, caller qualification, and Monday–Friday overflow coverage. Payment is handled separately after review.
