AI Call Answering
RankLadder answers with your greeting while you’re up a ladder or under a sink. It handles the questions you’ve taught it, takes a message when it can’t, and every call lands in your inbox with a summary.
Lead Capture
No two handyman calls are alike, so RankLadder captures the details that matter: what’s broken or needs installing, the address, and how soon they need it. Your custom questions show up as chips on the summary, ready to quote.
Booking Link Follow-Up
The moment a caller says go ahead, the AI texts your booking link or your rate sheet, whatever fits the job. The next step is in their hand before they hang up and call another handyman.
Call Summaries
Every call ends as a clean summary: the job they need done, the address, their timing, and any details you’ll need to price it. The full transcript is always one tap away, so nothing gets lost between jobs.

Knowledge Base Answers
Do you hang doors, what’s your hourly rate, do you cover the next town over. The AI answers the questions that fill your day from a knowledge base built from your website and Google profile, editable anytime.
Review Requests
When the fan is up and the customer’s happy, send a review request in one tap. It rides the same text thread you used to confirm the job, opted in with STOP handling, and it’s included on every plan.
Why Handyman teams are changing how they answer the phone
You lose the job by not picking up
A homeowner with a broken screen door or a leaky faucet calls two or three handymen and hires whoever answers and sounds reliable. Every call that rings out while you’re working is a job that goes to someone else.
Small jobs add up, if you catch them
One handyman can’t stop mid-repair to take a call, but the small jobs are the whole business. Miss a few a week and that’s real money walking to the next name on the search results.
Quotes go cold without a callback
Someone who called about a punch list is comparing you to two other handymen. The one who follows up first, with the job details already in hand, is usually the one who gets the work.
Join handymen who never let a repair call ring out.
RankLadder answers every call, captures the job and the details, and texts your booking link, so small work keeps coming in while your hands stay busy.
Problems we solve for Handyman businesses
Missing calls while your hands are full?
You can’t take a call with a drill running or your arms in a cabinet. RankLadder answers every one, captures the job and the address, and puts the summary in your pocket for when you’re back down.
Quote requests dying without a callback?
The homeowner who called about a to-do list is phoning other handymen too. Every quote call gets captured with the scope and timing, so you follow up warm instead of forgetting it by end of day.
Answering the same rate questions all day?
What do you charge, do you do gutters, are you in my area. The AI answers the routine questions from your knowledge base, so you only get pulled off a job for the calls that need you.
Priced for a working crew, not a call center

Live before the next missed call
Forward your number
Keep the number on your trucks, your signs, and your Google profile. Forward it to your dedicated RankLadder line, and unforward it any time you want.

Start taking calls
Every call gets answered, summarized, and sent to your pocket. The AI toggle is one switch, so you are always the one in control of when it runs.
Built for the calls Handyman businesses actually get
Quote Requests
Most handyman calls start as a quote. RankLadder asks what the quote needs: what the job is, where it’s located, how soon they want it, and any budget signals, so your callback opens with the details already in hand.
Price & Service Questions
The everyday “do you do that” and “what would that run me” calls get answered straight from your knowledge base, so a homeowner gets a real answer and you don’t have to climb down off a ladder to give it.
Rebooking Follow-Up
Handyman work is repeat work. After the job, the same text thread carries a review request now and a booking link later, so the customer who needed a fan installed comes back to you for the next fix.
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 Handyman owners ask
Can RankLadder capture all the different jobs people call about?
Yes. You tell it which questions to ask, and it captures the details that matter on any job: what needs fixing or installing, the address, and how soon they need it. Everything shows up as chips on the call summary, ready for you to quote.
Can it text my booking link or rate sheet?
Yes. The moment a caller says go ahead, the AI texts your booking link, your rate sheet, or an intake form, whatever fits the job. On Pro it can book directly on your connected calendar or Jobber and confirm the visit by text.
Can it answer my rates and service area?
It answers from a knowledge base built from your website and Google profile, so it can cover your hourly rate, what work you take, and how far you travel. When it can’t answer something, it logs the question so you can add it later.
How many minutes and calls do I get?
Starter includes 120 minutes, about 40 calls a month. Pro includes 450 minutes, about 150 calls, and Scale includes 1,000 minutes, about 330 calls. Annual billing gives you two months free. Most one-person shops start on Starter and move up as the calls grow.
Will it sound like a robot to my customers?
It identifies itself as an assistant, speaks naturally, and handles 15+ languages. When a call needs you, it takes a message or transfers instead of guessing. A homeowner gets a real answer on the first ring instead of dropping into voicemail.
How do I try it without a big commitment?
The trial is $4 for 14 days and includes 30 AI minutes and 25 texts. A card is required and you can cancel anytime. Forward your existing number to your RankLadder line, listen to a few real calls, and unforward if it isn’t for you.
