Your hands are in a ceiling. The phone rings, you cannot answer, and by the time you call back the geyser has been fixed by someone else. AskZuri answers, qualifies the job and sends it to your phone with one tap to call back.
R499/month · 14-day trial, no card · Rand prices exclude VAT
It is rarely the quote. It is the hour between the enquiry and the reply. These are the three places it happens most.
Emergency work goes to whoever answers. There is no loyalty in a flooded kitchen.
Answer it clearly and the job is half won. Ignore it and they keep dialling.
Most plumbing enquiries arrive while you are physically unable to pick up. That is not a marketing problem, it is a coverage problem.
These are the messages that decide whether a plumber gets the job. An assistant that answers them properly is worth more than another advert.
You write it once, in your own words. The assistant never invents a price, a policy or a promise.
What it will not do: it does not give professional advice, does not diagnose, and does not pretend to be a human when asked directly.
A call-out and repair is often R800 to R2,500. A geyser replacement is commonly R8,000 to R15,000. One extra job a month pays for the plan several times over — and the emergency work is the best-paid work you get.
You do not need a marketing budget to fix this. You need the enquiry answered while the customer is still holding the phone.
Website chat, WhatsApp and after-hours enquiries get a real answer immediately, not an auto-reply that says “we'll be in touch”.
Every enquiry is checked and scored. Hot, contactable leads come to your phone with one tap to call or WhatsApp. The rest wait in a daily summary.
Name, number, what they need and permission to reply. One place, not five apps and a notebook.
Most plumbers are live within a day. The 14-day trial needs no card, and there is no setup fee on Essentials or Growth.
One price list, no per-lead charges, no annual lock-in.
Website chat and WhatsApp answered 24/7, leads on your phone, a daily summary. The plan most small businesses start on.
Everything in Essentials plus calendar bookings, quotes, follow-ups, voice notes and a lead inbox with a pipeline.
Everything in Growth plus a real AI phone line on your own number, with a R999 once-off setup.
Rand prices exclude VAT. Every plan starts with a 14-day trial, no card. If AskZuri does not bring you work in 60 days, we keep working free until it does.
It can give your call-out fee and your usual price ranges, exactly as you set them. For anything that needs eyes on the job it takes the details, asks for photos on WhatsApp, and books a site visit.
Only if you ask it to. You choose which jobs count as emergencies and where they go — a call, a WhatsApp, or a Telegram alert. Everything else waits for your morning summary.
It is the opposite. A one-person plumbing business loses the most from missed calls, because there is nobody else to answer while you work.
No. It sits on your website chat and WhatsApp first, and can answer your landline as an add-on. Your number stays yours.
Leave your details and we will build the receptionist from your own website, then send you the link. One working day, no obligation.
