What it replaces

What your front desk costs you now.

You're already paying for the front desk: in wages, in answering-service fees, or in the customers who hit voicemail and call someone else. Sockly does the whole job for a fraction of it.

a month, $0 setup

  • Answers every call and text in your name, 24/7
  • Books, reschedules, confirms and reminds
  • Takes deposits and chases follow-ups

Hiring Sockly instead of a full-time front office keeps about $33,036 a year in your business, and it never misses a call while it's at it.

A day with Sockly

The first thing you check in the morning.

Owners stop checking voicemail. They check Sockly. It runs the front desk and keeps you in the loop without you lifting a finger.

  • Every morning

    Today's schedule, who's waiting on a callback, and what's owed. Before you've had coffee.

  • All day

    Every booking, deposit and urgent call lands as a text the moment it happens.

  • Every week

    What Sockly answered, booked and collected for you, in one message.

Guarantee terms

Questions

Straight answers.

Can it replace my receptionist?

Yes. Sockly does the whole front-desk job: answers every call and text, books and reschedules, takes deposits, follows up, routes urgent calls and remembers every customer. Most owners start it on nights and overflow, then move every call over within a week of watching it work.

What if it gets something wrong?

You see every call, transcript and text in your dashboard, and you get a summary after each one. Urgent calls go straight to a person. Change what it says anytime and it uses the new answer on the next call.

Will my customers know it's AI?

It sounds natural, answers in your business's name and handles interruptions. You choose the greeting and whether it introduces itself as an assistant.

Can I keep my number?

Yes. You forward your existing number to Sockly, usually a two-minute change with your phone provider. Turn forwarding off anytime.

Does it sound like a robot?

No. Sockly speaks naturally, handles interruptions and answers in your business's name. Try it above and judge for yourself.

What happens when it doesn't know an answer?

It never makes things up. It takes a detailed message, tells the caller someone will follow up, and texts you the details right away.

Which calendars does it work with?

Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Sockly checks your real availability before it offers a time.

How do urgent calls work?

You choose what counts as urgent and who's on call. Sockly hands those calls to that person and texts them the details.

What's involved in setup?

Tell Sockly about your business, connect your calendar and forward your number. You hear a test call before any customer does.

How do billing, cancellation and the guarantee work?

You pay monthly or yearly, with $0 setup. Cancel anytime. Love it in 30 days or every dollar back: the 30 days start when your line goes live, for any reason. Terms.

Your front office can start tonight.
