AI receptionist · Liverpool & Manchester

We pick up when you can't.

You're mid-fade, under a bonnet or up a ladder. The phone rings out and that customer rings the next place. Second Ring answers every call you miss, books them in, and texts you the details.

The problem

Every missed call is a customer who went somewhere else.

10+

calls a week a busy one-person shop can miss while working.

£430

a month lost if half of 10 weekly missed calls would have booked a £20 job.

24/7

Second Ring answers evenings, Sundays and bank holidays too.

Example figures. We'll work out your own numbers with you in five minutes.

How it works

Live in a day. Nothing changes for your regulars.

  1. We learn your business

    Ten minutes in your shop: prices, hours, the questions people always ask, and how you take bookings.

  2. Your calls forward when you're busy

    You keep your number. Calls you don't answer go to your receptionist after a few rings. Pick up as normal any time.

  3. You get a text after every call

    Name, number, what they want, and what's been sorted. Bookings go straight to your system or your link.

We'll ring it with you, in your shop.

We set up a receptionist with your real prices and hours, then you call it and ask it anything a customer would. If you don't like it, you've lost nothing.

Questions

What owners ask us

Will customers know it's not a person?

It sounds natural and friendly. If someone asks, it says it's the shop's automated assistant and keeps helping.

What if it gets something wrong?

It only uses the prices and details you give us. If it doesn't know an answer, it takes the caller's number for you to ring back. We check calls in your first week and fix anything quickly.

Do I need to change my number?

No. You keep your number and answer as normal. Only calls you don't pick up get forwarded.

What happens to callers' details?

We use them only to run your service, keep them secure and follow UK GDPR. Callers are told the call may be recorded.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time with 30 days' notice. Switch off call forwarding and that's it.
