The appointment lands where your team already works, with no callback or phone tag.

Availability, not guesswork

The AI offers time that is actually open on your connected calendar.

On the call

Interest becomes action

Customers choose the next step while they are still ready to book.

4 tools

Your calendar stays put

Your rules

Hours and buffers stay intact

You decide what can be booked, when, and how much time it needs.

From “Can I book?” to confirmed.

The value is not another calendar tool. It is helping an interested caller choose the next step before their attention moves somewhere else.

01 · Real availability

Offer a time that is actually open.

RankLadder checks the calendar and booking rules you already use. Customers hear real options instead of a promise that someone will call them later.

Built for appointment-driven work

If the next step is a time, RankLadder can help book it.

Questions, answered.

Does RankLadder check my real calendar?+

Yes. RankLadder checks real-time availability and follows the hours, buffers, appointment types, and booking instructions you set. It does not offer a time that is already occupied.

Which calendars can RankLadder book?+

Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, and Acuity Scheduling are included from Starter. Google Calendar, Outlook, and Acuity support direct booking. Calendly uses a one-time scheduling link sent during the call after the caller gives verbal consent. Square Appointments and Clio are available on Pro and Scale.

Can it reschedule or cancel an appointment?+

Not yet. RankLadder books new appointments. Changes and cancellations still go through you or your team.

What happens if no suitable time is available?+

RankLadder takes a detailed message instead of inventing availability. The request lands in your inbox with the call summary, so you can decide what to offer.

Can I control which calls are offered an appointment?+

Yes. Each appointment type has instructions for when the AI should offer it. You can allow bookings for service calls, for example, while keeping estimates or urgent requests as messages or transfers.

Which plan includes appointment booking?+

Calendar booking starts on Starter at $99 per month. The $4 trial includes 7 days and 30 AI call minutes, so you can test the booking conversation.
