The Real Problem

Good tradespeople lose jobs every day.
Not because of their work.

📵

You're on a roof. Phone rings. You can't answer.

That caller waited two seconds before they called your competitor. A missed call isn't a minor inconvenience — it's a job gone. Vera answers every single time.

🔍

Someone Googled your trade. You didn't show up.

Your competitor did. SEO used to cost thousands and take months. We build it into every site we create — your business gets found from day one.

📄

Invoicing on paper, chasing payments by phone.

That's not running a business — that's running behind. Professional invoices by email, e-transfer built in, every payment tracked automatically.

⏱️

You don't have time to fix any of it.

You're already working flat out. We set everything up, hand it over running, and stay out of your way. Eight minutes to fill out a form — we handle the rest.

Meet Vera

Every call answered.
You get a text. Done.

Vera answers in your business name, takes the message, and texts you instantly — caller name, reason for the call, time. No portal to log into. No app to check. Your phone is the dashboard.

💬

Text After Every Call

The second the call ends, you get a text. Caller name, reason, time. Everything you need to call back — right on your phone.

🌐

4 Languages

English, French, Mandarin, and Hindi. Vera detects the caller's language and switches automatically. Every plan, no upsells.

🌙

24/7 Coverage

Nights, weekends, stat holidays. Vera never takes a sick day, never asks for overtime, never misses a call.

📋

Lead Capture

Name, number, job details, location. Everything you need before you call back — collected and delivered automatically.

🏢

Your Business Name

"Thank you for calling Riverside Plumbing" — every time. Not a generic answering service. Your brand, your name.

Set It Once. Walk Away.

We set Vera up for your business. You forward your phone. That's it. There's nothing to manage, nothing to configure, nothing to learn.
