The systems

Everything between "ring" and "paid."

Five systems. Each runs on its own, and most owners start with one. Together they cover every way a customer tries to reach you and doesn't get through.

Screens show sample data.

Why it matters

The job goes to whoever answers first.

Customers don't leave a voicemail and wait. They call the next number on the list.

  • 27% of calls to small businesses ring out

    85% of those callers never call back

    Invoca; industry phone reports

  • 21× likelier to qualify a lead you reach in 5 minutes than in 30

How it works

Live today. No sales call needed.

  1. 30 seconds

    Search for your business

    Blumeo reads your Google listing and website and builds a receptionist that knows your services, hours and towns.

  2. A few minutes

    Talk to it, then make it yours

    Call it from your browser before you sign up. Add your prices and common questions, and pick its voice.

  3. Same day

    Forward your number

    Keep the number on your truck and your Google listing. Blumeo shows your carrier's dial code and tests it with you. It can take every call, or only the ones you miss.

  4. Every day after

    Watch it work

    Every call, text and booking lands in your dashboard, and you can change what it says any time.

Questions

The questions plumbing owners ask first.

What does it do with a burst pipe or a flooding call?

It knows the signs of a plumbing emergency, like a burst pipe, water coming through a ceiling, a sewage backup or no water at all. It flags those as urgent and passes the call to your on-call phone instead of booking it for next week. Routine calls like a slow drain, a running toilet or a water heater quote get booked into your Google Calendar.

Can it book drain cleaning, water heater installs and estimates?

Yes. It offers real open times from your Google Calendar, puts the visit on it with the caller's details and what's wrong, and sends you the summary. It never quotes a price or diagnoses a problem over the phone.

Is Blumeo an answering service?

It does an answering service's job, but it's AI: it picks up on the first ring at any hour, in English or Spanish, and books the job into your Google Calendar instead of just taking a message. You pay a monthly plan with a set number of calls, not by the minute.

How do I get started?

Search for your business on blumeo.ai. Blumeo builds a receptionist from your Google listing and website in about 30 seconds, and you can talk to it in your browser before you sign up. Then pick a plan, get a local number and forward your calls. Most owners are live the same day, with no sales call.

Do I have to change my phone number or my software?

No. You forward your existing number to Blumeo, either every call or only the ones you miss, and customers keep dialling the number they know. Bookings go straight into your Google Calendar.

Can I still answer my own phone?

Yes. Choose "Only calls I miss" and your phone rings first, showing who's calling. Pick up and press 1 to take the call. If you don't, your receptionist answers, and the caller just hears it ringing. You can also have your phone ring first in work hours and let it take everything after hours. It's on every plan, and you can switch any time. One limit: a phone that forwards every call to Blumeo can't ring first, so ring a different phone or forward only the calls you miss.

What happens when the AI can't answer something?

It says it's an automated assistant, takes the caller's name, number and what they need, and sends it to you. Emergencies go straight to your on-call phone. It never guesses at a price, a diagnosis, or anything that needs a licence.

What does it cost?

Starter is $197 a month, Pro $297 and Growth $597, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Each includes a set number of calls a month, and spam, wrong numbers and hang-ups are never counted. Every limit is on the pricing page.

Can I change what it says?

Any time. Your dashboard has its greeting, voice, services, prices, hours and the questions you get most. Edit them, try it in your browser, and every change is saved with a history you can roll back.

Is it legal to text my customers?

Texting has rules: carrier registration, consent and quiet hours. Blumeo files your business's texting registration for you, only texts people who contacted you or agreed to hear from you, says who it's from, and stops anyone who replies STOP. Have your own lawyer look at your consent wording if you're unsure.

Who's behind Blumeo?

Blumeo is founded and led by Brandon Oden. If something isn't working, Blumeo support answers 24/7 at app.blumeo.ai/support, and a person replies to disputes and refunds within one business day.
