Missed calls can represent commercial opportunities, but not every caller is a qualified lead and not every lead becomes a job. Use your own call volume, job value and estimated win rate to model a scenario, then compare it with real call logs and won work.
What this calculator measures
The three sliders capture your missed calls, average job value and estimated share that would become jobs. The result is illustrative arithmetic. It is not measured lost revenue and it does not predict how much automation will recover.
Use call logs
Count genuine unanswered new enquiries over a representative period. Exclude spam, suppliers and repeat calls about existing jobs.
Use won-job data
Calculate the real average value and close rate of new phone enquiries. Use margin as well as revenue when assessing payback.
Measure after launch
Record acknowledgements, qualified leads, booked work and revenue so the real result replaces the scenario assumptions.
The 3-step fix
Step 1
Add AI text-back
Acknowledges the call, asks approved qualifying questions and sends a summary. Measure the real reply and booking rate. From $199/month.
Step 2
Add AI receptionist
Live AI answers every call. Books appointments, escalates emergencies, sends you a summary. From $199/month including text-back.
Step 3
Add quote follow-up
Send an approved follow-up sequence automatically, then compare quote acceptance with the pre-launch baseline. Included in the AI stack.
Common Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
It is a scenario model, not an estimate based on an industry benchmark. Enter your own missed-call volume, average job value and estimated win rate. Compare the result with call logs and won jobs before making a business decision.
What's a realistic missed call rate?
Check your phone or provider call log for at least four representative weeks. Count unanswered new-enquiry calls separately from spam, repeat customers and calls that were successfully returned.
What if I get most of my leads online instead of by phone?
If most leads arrive through forms, bookings, social media or referrals, measure those channels separately. The useful comparison is each channel's qualified enquiries, win rate and revenue—not a universal phone-versus-form conversion claim.
How do I actually reduce missed calls?
Three practical steps: 1) AI missed-call text-back (responds in 5-20 seconds with your business name, asks qualifying questions), 2) AI receptionist (answers live calls when you can't), 3) Better call routing (forward after hours, send urgent calls to mobile, queue overflow during peak). Most Adelaide businesses start with text-back and add live AI answering when call volume justifies it.
What's the cost of an AI missed-call service?
AI automation starts from $199/month. The break-even point depends on your real call volume, job value, margin and close rate; no payback period is guaranteed.
How long does it take to set up?
Most setups are live within 2-5 business days. We configure the call flow, integrate with your existing tools, and test before going live.
What happens after I get my number?
If you submit your details, we'll be in touch within 24 hours with a free 15-minute audit. We'll show you what your specific missed-call leakage looks like, what the AI would say, and what the monthly cost would be. No obligation, no pressure.
Can I use this if I'm not in Adelaide?
Yes — the missed-call math is the same anywhere. The AI text-back and receptionist services are configured for Australia-wide use, with Australian voices and Australian integrations. We currently serve clients across SA, VIC, NSW, and QLD.
