Regular VoIP vs. Local + AI
Why Manhattan businesses are upgrading from basic ring‑groups to AI‑powered local presence.
| Decision Lens | Regular VoIP Number | Local Number + AI Receptionist (Answer IT) |
|---|---|---|
| Caller experience | Ring group + voicemail. | Branded greeting, intelligent Q&A, live routing. |
| Missed calls & after‑hours | Voicemail or no answer; manual follow‑up. | 24/7 capture → auto callback + SMS/email follow‑up. |
| Speed‑to‑lead | Caller waits or abandons. | Instant triage: qualifies, answers FAQs, books appointments. |
| Appointment booking | Manual or via a link later. | Direct booking into your calendar—no back‑and‑forth. |
| Lead qualification & routing | Limited; depends on human availability. | Scripted Q&A + smart routing by service, location, language, priority. |
| Multi‑channel coverage | Typically voice; SMS varies by carrier. | Omnichannel: voice + SMS + email (chat/social optional add‑ons). |
| CRM & inbox logging | Manual notes (if any). | Automatic logging: outcomes, transcripts, contact details. |
| Analytics | Basic call logs. | Revenue Leak Check: missed‑call trends, booking rate, callback success. |
| Compliance & consent | Basic call handling. | Opt‑in flows for SMS/email follow‑ups; configurable consent prompts. |
| Brand impression | Generic number; reactive. | Local, responsive, always‑on—signals reliability. |
| Scalability | Add lines/extensions manually. | Clone across area codes in minutes with consistent scripts. |
| Setup time | Minutes to provision a line. | Minutes self‑serve—no hardware, no training required. |
| Cost (self‑serve) | Varies by carrier; features vary. | $99/mo—local number + AI receptionist. No setup fee. 7‑day money‑back guarantee. |
| Best when… | You only need a basic ring‑to + voicemail. | You want to convert every call and missed call into booked revenue. |
| CTA | (Optional) Keep your current VoIP. | Activate Local + AI ($99/mo) |
