Automated Front Desk · For tree services

Every tree call answered, even after the storm

When a storm drops a limb on a roof or a fence, homeowners call every tree service they can find. The LA&M Front Desk answers for you while you are in the bucket: it takes the address and what happened, flags trees on houses, books the estimate, and sends you a recap. Try it below on a sample tree service.

On the call, say “demo for tree service.” It plays the front desk for a made-up tree service company so you can hear what your customers would hear. $297/month with your active website, or $397/month with a website included. Just need a website? $97/month. See the plans

Hi, this is the automated assistant for Sample Tree Service. What can I help you with?
Try asking

Sample Tree Service is a made-up company. Your front desk answers with your own business name, services, hours, and service area, and only the prices you approve. Nothing you type here is sent anywhere.

Built for your trade

What it handles for tree service companies

  • Trees down on homes, vehicles, or fences flagged urgent with the address
  • Removal, trimming, and stump grinding estimates booked into your calendar
  • Callers told to stay away from downed power lines and call the utility
  • Prices quoted only if you approve them in writing
  • A text and email recap of every call and chat

It is built your way: you choose what it asks, which jobs it books or turns away, what counts as urgent, and what it never says, and you can add or drop anything later. It answers in your business name with your services, hours, and service area, says it is an automated assistant if a caller asks, and never promises arrival times or prices you have not approved.

The two lead generation bundles are billed monthly with a 3-month minimum, and you agree to our terms at checkout. Custom plans are quoted after a free planning call, and their terms are set in your written plan. Ads start after we set up your ad accounts and you approve the ads. Ad platforms set their own rules, and no one can guarantee results from advertising. Questions? Call (605) 600-7292.

FAQ

Questions from tree service companies

What does it do when a tree is on a house after a storm?
It collects the address and what happened, marks the call urgent, and alerts you right away or transfers the call to your cell. If a power line is involved, it tells the caller to stay away and call the utility first.
Can it book removal and trimming estimates?
Yes. It books estimate visits into your calendar and confirms the day and time. It only quotes a price if you have approved it in writing.
Does it work for a small crew?
Yes. Forward the calls you miss, and every caller gets an answer while you get a recap.
What does it cost?
$297/month with no setup fee and no contract, or $397/month with a website of up to 5 pages included. The automated answering is included in both. A website on its own, without the front desk, is $97/month. Phone and text usage is usually $5 to $50 a month, paid from a small prepaid balance on your card. Usage only goes up when more calls and texts come in.
Can I choose what it says and does?
Yes, all of it. You decide which services it books and which it politely turns away, the questions it asks callers, what counts as an emergency, whether urgent calls ring your cell or just get flagged, which prices it can give (or none), and anything it should never say. Want something added or dropped later? Email or call Jarrett and it gets changed.
What if I do not have a website?
The full front desk needs an active website, so choose Front Desk + Website at $397/month. You get everything in the front desk plan plus a website of up to 5 pages built for you, with no build fee: your services, service area, hours, a click-to-call button that rings your front desk, and a contact form. It also includes the privacy and terms pages that carriers require before a business can send texts. Hosting and basic updates are included, and the domain is registered in your name, so it stays yours.
Can I get just a website?
Yes. Website is $97/month with no build fee and no contract, and it covers everything: a website of up to 5 pages, hosting, your domain registered in your name, and basic updates. You can add the front desk anytime, which moves you to the $397 plan. See website plans.
Does it answer texts, website chat, and email too?
Yes. The same assistant answers texts, chat on your website, and inquiry emails, using the same approved answers as the phone. For email, you forward your inquiry address (like info@) to your front desk inbox. Texting starts once carrier registration is approved.
Do I need a website?
Yes, for the full front desk. Website chat runs on your website, and carriers only approve business texting when your website has privacy and terms pages and a form where customers agree to receive texts. If you already have an active website, the Front Desk plan is $297/month and we tell you exactly what to add (usually a privacy page, a terms page, and the chat snippet). If you do not have one, choose Front Desk + Website at $397/month, which includes a website of up to 5 pages built for you.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You forward unanswered or busy calls to your front desk number, so your customers keep calling the number they already have.
Can it quote prices?
Only prices you give us in writing, such as a diagnostic fee. It will not quote prices you have not approved, and it will not promise arrival times. Otherwise it books the visit.
Will callers know it is automated?
It sounds natural, and it tells callers it is an automated assistant if they ask. It never pretends to be a person.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, by email, on the Front Desk and Website plans. Advertising plans have a 3-month minimum, and after that you can cancel anytime. We remove the forwarding instructions and hand back your call records. On the website plans, the website comes down when the service ends.
