What to Expect in Your First Month

Week 1: Setup & Testing

Days 1-2: Create Your Profile (30-60 minutes) Fill out your business profile with your services, pricing, hours, and custom greeting. This is the foundation of everything Maria does.

Days 2-3: Connect Google Calendar (5 minutes) Link your Google Calendar so Maria can see your availability and book appointments automatically.

Days 3-5: Forward Your Phone Number (varies) Contact your phone provider and set up call forwarding to the Calltide number you'll receive.

Days 5-7: Test Maria (5 minutes) Call your business number from your personal phone and have a test conversation with Maria. Ask her about your services and test appointment booking.

By end of Week 1: Maria is officially live and answering your real calls.

Week 2: Live Calls & Observation

Maria is now answering your actual calls. You're getting real data about what callers need.

Your Job:

• Check call summaries daily
• Look for patterns in what customers ask
• Verify appointments are showing up in your calendar
• Check you're receiving SMS alerts

What You'll Notice: Most contractors are surprised by how many calls they were missing. You may need to call some customers back for complex conversations—that's okay. Maria handled the initial contact.

Week 3: Optimization

Review the calls from Week 2 and update your profile based on real calls. If callers frequently ask about something you don't list, add it. Tweak your greeting if needed.

By end of Week 3: Maria is dialed in. Your profile is refined. She's booking smarter.

Week 4: Evaluate Results

Go to Reports. You'll see:

• Total calls answered
• Appointments booked
• Calls by time of day
• Customer satisfaction (NPS)
• Top services requested

Calculate Your ROI: How many appointments did Maria book? What's the average job value? (Appointments × average job value) − $497 = your profit from Maria.

Most contractors find that Maria pays for herself within the first month.

What to Expect

Average results after Month 1:

• 30–50% increase in booked appointments (because you're answering calls you were missing)
• 500–1,500 total calls answered (depending on your market)
• 50–150 appointments booked (varies widely)
• NPS score of 40–60 (solid, room to improve)

If Results Are Lower Than Expected

Don't panic. Some contractors see lower booking rates in Month 1 because:

• Your profile wasn't complete enough (update it)
• Your greeting needs work (test and refine)
• Your calendar wasn't synced properly (verify)
• Your local market has lower volume (you're still capturing calls you were missing)

Most improve significantly in Month 2 once they optimize.

Month 2+: Momentum Builds

By Month 2, you'll see the real impact:

• Your NPS score improves (happier callers)
• Booking rate increases
• Maria handles more complex conversations
• Your team is less stressed
• Your ROI is crystal clear
