AI booking agent for excavation

Excavation booking
agent. Meet Maria.

Not an answering service. Maria answers your excavation line while you’re in the cab of an excavator — hitting an unmarked utility line (no 811 locate), site won't drain / standing water and erosion, or the dig that’s that's real money — in your company’s name, 24/7, and books it.

Excavation answering — the index

Does Maria understand excavation calls?

She knows GET (ground engaging tools), Spoils, Daylighting / potholing, a Excavator (mini and full-size), and what Caterpillar (Cat) means — the right questions for a lot dug out for a foundation, not a caller re-explaining their own job.

An after-hours dig?

Hitting an unmarked utility line (no 811 locate) can’t wait. She answers 24/7 as your company, books or messages it, and warm-transfers a real emergency to your cell.

How do I hear about the calls?

Email — summary and full transcript — the second it ends. Calendar booking is included, she texts your customers their appointment confirmations and reminders automatically, and the ones who didn’t book, she calls back herself.

Never miss another excavation call.

Add extra lines to track your marketing: $10/mo per number

Put a different local number on each ad, flyer, or truck and you’ll know exactly which one is ringing. We break out the calls, bookings and upsells per number, and keep detailed call records (a summary and the full transcript of every call) for each line you have, the same detail as your main line. Each extra number is just $10/month.

Maria on your website: included

Why not turn your website into a lead-generating sales machine? Drop Maria onto your own site and every visitor can talk to her right there. She greets them, answers questions, and books the job while they’re still on the page. No more forms nobody fills out. She does everything on your site that she does on the phone: same Maria, same abilities. It is included, at no extra charge.

Short calls cost you almost nothing

You pay for talk time, not for calls. We add up the actual seconds Maria is on the phone across the month. Nothing rounds up to a full minute, and nothing bills as a whole “call.” A wrong number, a pocket dial, a thirty-second “are you open Saturday?” costs you pennies.

The spam and sales calls Maria screens are free. Screened calls never touch your minutes: not your allowance, not your overage, ever. Services that meter you per call, or per “interaction,” charge full freight for that same thirty seconds.

The fine print: no surprises

Keep your existing number. Go over your minutes and Maria never stops answering. It’s $0.49 a minute, and we text you first. No surprises, ever.

Texting works the day you start. Pick her voice and name your receptionist. Satisfaction guaranteed.

In good company

Plays nicely with the tools you already run.

Maria books into your calendar and pushes every call into your CRM. No rip-and-replace.
