Question 1

Will customers know they're talking to AI?

Accepted Answer

Modern AI voices sound remarkably natural. Most landscaping customers don't realize they're speaking with AI-they just think you have excellent customer service. Those who do know often appreciate the instant response and professionalism.

Question 2

What if someone has a complex question the AI can't answer?

Accepted Answer

Greet smoothly transfers calls to you with a complete summary of what the customer needs. You jump right into the conversation knowing their full situation, saving time and improving customer experience.

Question 3

How does it work with my Google Calendar?

Accepted Answer

Greet syncs directly with your Google Calendar. When the AI schedules an appointment, it automatically appears in your calendar with all customer details, location, and project scope. No manual entry needed.

Question 4

Will this work for emergency/storm damage calls?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Greet can be programmed to identify urgent situations like fallen trees or storm damage, flag them as emergencies, and ensure you get notified immediately even if you're on another job.

Question 5

What if I'm already too busy? Can I redirect all calls?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can set it to handle all routine calls, collect information for non-emergency requests, and only interrupt you for true emergencies. Many landscapers run it 24/7 and only take emergency calls during off-hours.

Question 6

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

About 15 minutes. Add your business info, common questions/pricing, and connect your calendar. That's it. Your AI receptionist is live and ready to answer calls within the hour.

Question 7

What if I have multiple crews or team members?

Accepted Answer

Perfect for scaling. The AI can route calls to different team members based on location or specialty, book all appointments in one shared calendar, and provide detailed summaries to your entire team.

Question 8

Can I still use my existing phone number?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Forward your current business number to Greet, or get a new local number. Either way, it takes 5 minutes to set up and existing customers won't notice any change.
