An AI receptionist for tree services

You can't check your phone with a chainsaw running. CallerIQ answers when you're mid-job, greets the caller, and finds out what they need. It captures the address, tree size, and hazard details, then sends you a summary so you can call back the second you're on the ground.

A REAL CALL

A homeowner calls the morning after a windstorm because a large limb came down across her driveway and she needs it cleared.

CallerIQ: 'Thanks for calling, this is the AI receptionist for the crew. What's going on?' Caller: 'A big limb fell across my driveway last night, I can't get my car out.' CallerIQ: 'Got it. Can I grab the address and a good callback number?' Caller gives the address. CallerIQ: 'And roughly how big is the tree or limb, and where is it sitting, like on the driveway, near power lines, or against the house?' Caller: 'It's on the driveway, nowhere near the house or lines.' CallerIQ: 'Understood, I'll pass that along right away.'

The owner gets a summary with the address, limb size and location, no power line contact, and a callback number, ready before he's out of the bucket.

The calls you're losing

Why tree services miss calls

Your hands are full of chainsaw, not phone

You're forty feet up with a saw running. The phone rings, goes to voicemail, and the caller moves to the next name on their list.

Storms hit after hours, every time

Downed limbs get reported the minute the wind dies down, often at night or before you've had coffee. Voicemail doesn't cut it when someone's driveway is blocked.

Estimate calls don't wait around

Someone calling for a trimming or stump grinding quote is probably calling two other crews too. Whoever answers first usually books the job.

Scheduling around weather means constant calls

Jobs get pushed and rescheduled all week depending on the forecast. Every one of those calls is a chance to lose track of a customer if you're on a ladder.

How it works

Three steps, one dial code.

01

Forward your missed calls

One dial code sets up conditional call forwarding with your carrier. Your number stays your number; only the calls you don’t answer route to CallerIQ.

02

CallerIQ answers

It greets the caller in the voice and greeting you chose, finds out who they are and what they need, and captures the details, using only the business information you gave it.

03

You get the summary

Who called, why, and what to do next, in a clean report you can read in seconds. Real callers get through; spam doesn’t.

What your callers hearThe caller hears a clear greeting that says right away they've reached an AI receptionist for the business, not the owner directly. It asks who's calling and what they need, then walks through the details that matter: the address, the tree's size and where it's located, whether there's any hazard urgency, and a callback number. It stays calm and patient the whole time, whether the caller is calm or panicking about a limb on their car.
And the spam?Equipment financing pitches and mulch-buying brokers call constantly, and none of them are worth your time. CallerIQ recognizes these patterns, turns the calls away, and can string the caller along instead of handing you the phone. You only see the calls that are actually customers.
Questions

What tree services ask us

Do I need a new phone number for this?+
No. CallerIQ works through call forwarding on your existing number. There's no new number to give out and no hardware to install.
Will it try to handle a dangerous situation on its own?+
No. It's not a dispatch or safety line. It gathers the details, like whether a limb is near power lines or a structure, and passes them straight to you so you decide how urgent it is.
What information does it collect for a job?+
The caller's address, the tree or limb's size and location, any hazard details they mention, and a callback number. It only uses what you've told it to ask for.
Can I turn it off when I'm actually free to answer?+
Yes. One dial code switches it off so calls ring through to you directly, and the same code turns it back on.
Does it sound like a real person?+
It sounds natural, but it tells callers upfront that it's an AI receptionist. You set the greeting, the voice, and what it knows about your business.
