East London is small enough that everyone knows everyone, and spread out enough that a callback costs an hour. The business that answers first still wins the job.
R499/month · 14-day trial, no card · Rand prices exclude VAT
The harbour, the car plant and the border trade keep the town busy, while Gonubie and Beacon Bay add a steady stream of residential work. Holiday makers along the Wild Coast pass through and book by phone, often at the weekend when offices are closed.
The weekend and holiday trade is disproportionate. An assistant that books Saturday enquiries on Friday night is worth more than any advert.
One enquiry can arrive by call, WhatsApp and a website form. Without one place to catch them, the same person becomes three unfinished conversations.
Price, hours, area, availability. Answer those four clearly and the appointment is half made.
A reply in seconds reads as a well-run business. A reply tomorrow reads as a business that does not need the work.
AskZuri is used by trades and maintenance, medical and dental practices, hospitality, automotive, professional services, retail across South Africa. The questions are different; the gap is the same.
You set your own service area, so the assistant never promises a call-out in Berlin if you do not cover it.
If your customers are in or around these areas, this is built for you:
Not sure about your area? Ask in the form and we will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.
The price is the same everywhere in South Africa. No per-lead fees, no annual lock-in, no setup fee on the first two plans.

No. It works on your website, your WhatsApp and optionally your landline.
No. There is no queue and no script reader. It is software that answers with your business's own facts, then hands the lead to you. You keep the relationship.
It says so and takes a message, then alerts you. It will not guess. Every conversation is logged so you can see the gaps and fix the facts once.
