Frequently asked questions

How is my reachability grade calculated? +

We calculate the percentage of the 168 hours in a week that your phone is answered by a human or service. Then we apply adjustments based on what happens during your closed hours. Voicemail and no-answer setups get lower scores than answering services or call forwarding. The result maps to a letter grade from A (90%+ reachable) to F (below 40%).

Why does phone reachability matter for contractors? +

Homeowners searching for a plumber, electrician, or HVAC tech usually call two or three businesses and go with whoever picks up first. If your phone goes to voicemail, 80% of callers will not leave a message. They call the next contractor on Google instead. Every hour your phone is unanswered is an hour your competitors can take your customers.

What is a good reachability score for a home service business? +

The top-performing contractors have 24/7 phone coverage, which earns an A grade. If you cannot do 24/7, aim for at least a B by covering evenings and Saturdays with an answering service or call forwarding. Anything below a C means you are unreachable for more than 40% of the week, and that costs real money.
