Questions, answered.

How do I use AI as a receptionist?+

RankLadder drafts a knowledge base from your website and Google Business Profile. Review the answers, choose a premium voice and greeting, set rules for messages, appointments, and live transfers, then forward your existing number. No code or phone system replacement is required.

How much does an AI receptionist cost?+

RankLadder plans start at $99 per month. The trial costs $4 for 7 days and includes 30 AI call minutes.

What does an AI receptionist do?+

It answers calls around the clock, handles questions from information you approve, captures caller details, books appointments, and transfers calls when your rules say a person should take over. After every call, the transcript and summary land in your RankLadder inbox.

What is the best AI receptionist?+

The best option is one you can trust on a real customer call. Look for owner-approved answers, clear AI disclosure, live transfers, mobile access, multilingual support, and billing that cannot create surprise overages. RankLadder lets you hear the product working during a $4 trial.

Can an AI receptionist handle calls?+

Yes. Your phone provider controls which calls are forwarded. For every call that reaches RankLadder, AI on answers it and AI off sends it to RankLadder voicemail. You can use carrier forwarding for nights, weekends, missed calls, or every call.

Can the AI receptionist transfer calls to a human?+

Yes. Write your transfer rules in plain English, including which calls should transfer and who should receive them. Starter includes 3 transfer rules. Pro and Scale include unlimited transfer rules. Calls that should not transfer can become complete messages instead.

Which languages does the AI receptionist support?+

The RankLadder phone AI supports 18 languages on every plan at no extra charge: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, Tagalog, Hindi, and Japanese. You can offer up to five in the caller menu. Callers can switch languages during the call, and the original transcript appears with a translation in your English or Spanish interface.
