AI Call Answering
RankLadder answers with your greeting while you’re framing, on a ladder, or walking a client through a punch list. It handles the questions you’ve taught it, takes a message when it can’t, and each call lands in your inbox.
Lead Capture
On a project call, RankLadder collects the name, the callback number, and the custom questions you set: scope, address, timeline, budget range. The answers land as chips on the summary, so the estimate is half-built before you dial back.
Lead Scoring
Not every call is a kitchen remodel. RankLadder scores each one on urgency, budget, and scope, then flags the hot leads so a six-figure project never sits behind a fence-repair question in your inbox. Available on Pro and up.
Call Summaries
Every call ends as a clean summary covering the scope of work, the address, the timeline, and any budget signals the caller gave. The full transcript is always one tap away when you want the exact words.
New caller asked about availability this week and wants a callback before 5 PM.
Missed Call Text-Back
The lead who calls while you’re on a job site still gets recorded, transcribed, and summarized. Text them back in one tap before they hand the project to the contractor who picked up first.
Review Requests
When the final walkthrough is done and the client is happy, send a review request in one tap. It rides the same text thread you used through the project, opt-out handling built in, and it’s included on every plan.
Why General Contracting teams are changing how they answer the phone
The bid you follow up on is the bid you win
Homeowners collect three or four estimates and go with the contractor who stays in touch. When a call gets captured and answered fast, you’re the one who calls back first, while the project is still warm.
You can’t answer the phone from a job site
The calls that build your pipeline come in while you’re on the tools or in a client’s basement. Every one that rings out is a project that quietly goes to whoever answered instead.
Big projects are decided in the follow-up
A remodel or addition takes weeks of back-and-forth to close. The contractor who captures the details up front and follows up without dropping the thread is the one who signs the contract.
Join general contractors that never let a project lead ring out.
RankLadder answers every call, captures the scope and timeline, scores the hot leads, and keeps them warm until you follow up, so you can stay on the job.
Problems we solve for General Contracting businesses
Missing project calls from the job site?
You can’t stop mid-install to answer, and the lead that hits voicemail calls the next contractor. RankLadder answers every one, captures the scope, and puts the summary in your pocket.
Estimates going cold without a callback?
Big projects have the longest sales cycles, and a quote with no follow-up dies quietly. Every estimate call gets captured with the scope and timeline, so you call back warm instead of cold.
Leads slipping through the follow-up gap?
The homeowner who called on Tuesday is talking to two other contractors by Friday. Every call ends with the details captured and the booking link sent, so the lead stays warm while you’re busy.
Priced for a working crew, not a call center
Lead scoring lands on Pro and up, which is where sorting big projects from small repairs pays for itself. Every plan includes the full Google reviews suite, 15+ languages, and the mobile app. Try everything for 14 days with the $4 trial: 30 AI minutes, 25 texts, card required, cancel anytime.

Built for the calls General Contracting businesses actually get
Estimate Requests
RankLadder captures the scope of work, the address, the timeline, and any budget signals, so your estimate callback starts with the job instead of a blank page and twenty basic questions.
Price & Service Questions
The everyday “do you do additions” and “roughly what does a remodel run” calls get answered from your knowledge base, so a routine question never pulls you off a job to pick up the phone.
Warranty Questions
“Is this covered under my warranty?” RankLadder answers what your knowledge base covers. When it can’t, it captures the project details and the question so your office calls back with the real answer the first time.
Fits how your shop already runs
RankLadder sits around the tools you already use. Starter connects Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, and Square Appointments; Pro adds Jobber for field scheduling. Calls, texts, and customer records stay in one inbox, on the web and in the native iOS and Android app.

Questions General Contracting owners ask
Can RankLadder capture what I need for an estimate?
Yes. It captures name and callback number on every call, plus the custom questions you define, like scope of work, address, timeline, and budget range. Answers show up as chips on the summary, so your estimate callback starts with the job already sketched out.
Can it tell a big project from a small repair?
On Pro and up, lead scoring rates each call on urgency, budget, and scope and flags the hot ones, so a whole-home remodel never sits unnoticed behind a small repair question in your inbox. You see the biggest opportunities first.
How does it help me follow up on estimates?
Every call ends with the scope and timeline captured, and the AI can text your booking link during the call to lock the estimate. The lead lands in one inbox with everything you need, so you follow up warm before a competitor does.
Can it book estimate appointments on my calendar?
It texts your booking link the moment a caller says yes, and on Pro it can book directly on your Google Calendar, Outlook, or connected scheduler and confirm by text, so the estimate is held without a round of phone tag.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You keep your number everywhere it’s printed and forward it to your dedicated RankLadder line. Unforward anytime. You’re never locked in.
Can it ask clients for a review after the job?
Yes, on every plan. After the final walkthrough, one tap sends the request on the same text thread you used through the project, with opt-out handling built in. New reviews get an AI-drafted reply for you to approve before it posts.
