Who it is for / Contractors

A business phone number for contractors

Neuron answers every call that you can't and turns leads to sales.

Neuron gives your contracting business its own local number, and an agent that picks up on it. A homeowner getting three bids calls three contractors, and the one who answers is the one who gets to see the job. Your agent answers on the first ring, gets the scope and the address, and has the lead waiting when you come off the site.

When a new customer texts

Your text agent

Do you do bathroom remodels? Small hall bath, new tile and vanity.
We do, and hall baths are a lot of our work. We start with a free visit to measure and talk through finishes, and most are two to three weeks once we begin.
Good. We are in Orinda and would like to start in January.
I'll pass that to Sam now, and he'll text you to set up the visit.

Sent by your agent

It answers what you do and how you work from what you gave it, and passes the homeowner to you for the site visit and the bid.

When the phone rings and your hands are full

Your voice agent

Answered in your business name

Your agent

Thanks for calling Alder Construction. How can I help?

Caller

Hi, we need a deck replaced. The old one is rotting and we want something bigger.

Your agent

We can take a look. Roughly how big is the deck now, and is it on the ground or raised off a second floor?

Caller

About twelve by sixteen, raised maybe four feet.

It gets the scope, the address and the timing, and texts you the whole thing the moment the call ends.

What it takes off your plate

The first conversation with every lead

What kind of work it is, how big, where and when are asked the way you would ask them, so you decide which jobs to go and look at with the facts already in hand.

Whether you take that kind of job

Tell your agent what you do and what you pass on, your licence and your service area, and it answers that plainly.

The message where the client approved the change is one search away, with its date on it.

What comes with the number

  • Your own local number, free, and it is yours rather than shared
  • An agent that answers texts in your tone and takes calls while you are working
  • Caller ID for texts and calls, so an unknown number arrives with a name
  • Voicemail written out in the thread, under your own greeting in your own voice
  • Every language, both ways: a customer texts in Spanish, you read it in English, and your reply arrives in Spanish
  • Search across everything anyone has ever sent you

Every plan comes with a number and an agent, and the free plan has no card to enter. The plans are side by side on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Can the agent give a bid?

It quotes what you have told it to quote. For work that needs a site visit, it gets the details and hands the homeowner to you.

Can I see who is calling before I call back?

Yes. An unknown US number arrives with a name, what they do and where they are, so you know who you are talking to before you reply.

Do I have to give up my personal number?

No. Neuron gives you a second number that lives in its own app, so your personal number stays personal. Your customers reach the business line and your family reaches you.

Does my customer need to download anything?

No. Your business number sends and receives ordinary text messages and ordinary phone calls, so anyone with a phone can reach you.

What does it cost?

Neuron is free to start, with a real number and 50 texts. Neuron Pro is $9.99 a month, or $6.99 a month billed yearly, for unlimited texting and a number you choose. Neuron Premium is $29.99 a month, or $239.99 a year, and makes your agent unlimited on calls, on texts and in a chat on your website.
