Houston homeowners don't leave voicemails — they call the next locksmith on the list. FrontDesk makes sure that never costs you a job again: an AI receptionist that picks up 24/7, sounds like a trained front-desk hire, and turns calls into booked appointments while you work.

Locksmith calls are the definition of urgent: someone is locked out of their house, car, or business right now. They call the top three Google results in a row and go with whoever answers — response time is the entire sale. If you're mid-job with a pick in a lock, that next call is gone.
Houston's combination of hurricane season, clay soil, and brutal humidity keeps home services phones ringing year-round. It's also one of America's most competitive trades markets — sprawling from Katy to The Woodlands, with hundreds of licensed operators fighting for the same searches.
It answers from your price book and your calendar — and when a call is truly urgent, like a child locked inside a car, it follows your emergency protocol and gets a human involved immediately.
Small service businesses miss roughly 8 calls a week. If just 35% of those would have booked at an average locksmith ticket of $150, that's $1,680/month walking to competitors — about 17× what FrontDesk costs.
It confirms location, lock type, and ID requirements, quotes your service range, gives a realistic ETA from your schedule, and texts you the job — all in under two minutes.
It politely confirms the caller accepts your service call fee before dispatching, so you stop driving to jobs that cancel on arrival.
Yes — it captures property type, number of doors, and timeline, and books an on-site quote for anything complex.
It sounds natural and never pretends to be human if asked. Most callers just notice they got an instant, helpful answer instead of voicemail — which is what they actually care about.
About 20 minutes. You answer a guided questionnaire about your services, prices, hours, and booking rules, forward your number, and you're live. No hardware, no new phone number needed.
