No apps for your customers, no scripts for you. We set it up, and your new voice answers from the first ring — here’s exactly what happens on every call.

How it works

Set up once. Then it just answers.

No apps for your customers to download, no scripts for you to learn. We handle the setup, and your new voice picks up from the first ring.

It answers

Every call is picked up on the first ring — daytime, midnight, or mid-job. No voicemail, no hold music, no missed enquiry. Just a warm, natural greeting in your customer’s own language.

Always on · 24/7

It qualifies

It asks the right questions — what they need, where they are, how urgent it is — and captures every detail. Real conversation, not a rigid phone menu, so callers feel heard.

Understands · Not a menu

It hands off

The lead lands with you instantly — booked into your calendar or sent as a tidy summary by text and email. You call back knowing exactly who they are and what they want.

Hear the difference

A real conversation, not a menu.

No “press 1 for bookings.” Callers just talk, and Local Talker talks back — warm, quick, and on top of the details. This is an answered call, word for word.

Caller

Hi — my boiler’s just cut out and I’ve got no hot water.

Local Talker

Oh no — let’s get that sorted. Can I take your postcode?

Caller

It’s SE15 4QL. Is someone free today?

Local Talker

We’ve got a slot at 4:30 this afternoon. Shall I book you in?

Caller

Yes please, that’d be brilliant.

Local Talker

Done — you’ll get a text confirmation now. Anything else at all?

Common questions

Asked and answered.

Do my customers need an app or anything new?

No. They just ring your normal number. Local Talker answers like a receptionist would — there is nothing for callers to download, learn, or press.

How long does setup take?

Most businesses are live within a week. We learn how you work, build your voice and call flow, connect your calendar and tools, and test it with you before it takes a single real call.

What happens with emergencies or calls it can’t handle?

You decide the rules. Urgent calls can be patched straight through to your phone, and anything unusual is summarised and sent to you immediately by text and email — nothing gets stuck.

Does it really work in other languages?

Yes — Local Talker greets callers in their own language and accent, switching naturally. Over 30 languages and country voices are available, with more added regularly.

Which tools does it work with?

Calendars (Google, Outlook), booking systems (OpenTable, ResDiary), CRMs (HubSpot, Reapit, Clio), job platforms (Jobber, ServiceTitan) and plain old text and email. If you use something else, we build the connection.

What does it cost?

Plans depend on call volume and how much you want connected. Book a 15-minute call and we’ll give you a straight answer with no obligation.
