One captured job covers roughly 4 months of the Starter plan at $99/month.

What callers from Downtown Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood expect

• A human-sounding answer on the first ring, in your business name — not a voicemail greeting recorded three years ago.
• Someone who knows the West Michigan service area and can say plainly whether you cover their street.
• A local feel: callers want to hear that you work their part of Michigan, not a national call centre script.
• A real answer about timing — when you can get out there, and what happens next.
• Eastern time coverage after hours, because emergencies do not wait for Monday.
