Frequently asked questions

How Joe's Help works, what setup looks like, and how billing fits your call volume.

How does Joe's Help work?

Forward missed or after-hours calls to your Joe's Help number. The AI receptionist answers, asks qualifying questions about your services, and sends you a clean lead summary by email or SMS.

Who is Joe's Help for?

Service businesses that lose jobs to missed calls—HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, landscaping, and similar trades. If callers ask about services, availability, and next steps, Joe's Help can help.

How long does setup take?

Most teams finish onboarding in under an hour: create an account, add your services, set up call forwarding, and take a test call. We guide you through each step.

What is in a lead summary?

Caller name and callback number when available, what they need, service area or timing details they shared, and notes that help you follow up without replaying the call.

What counts as a minute?

We bill answered conversation time on your AI receptionist line. Short wrong-number or hang-up calls typically use only a few seconds; usage rounds fairly per call.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. Changes apply on your next billing cycle unless you need a mid-cycle adjustment. Our team can help on Pro.

Do you support my phone carrier?

Most carriers support conditional call forwarding to a dedicated number. If you are unsure, we walk you through setup during onboarding.

Is my business data secure?

Uploads power answers for your receptionist. In production, data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You control what content the assistant can use.

Is there a contract?

Monthly plans are month-to-month. Pro engagements may include an annual agreement depending on your team needs.
