Greetings, hours, and menus

# Calls go where you want, when you want.

Callers hear your business name first. During your hours, calls ring you or your team. After hours and on holidays, they go to voicemail. You decide, and we set it up with you for free.

Greetings

## Sound like a business from the first ring.

Callers hear your business name before the call connects. We help you set up a professional greeting when you sign up.

Want to change it yourself? Type the words and pick one of six AI voices, upload an audio file, or record your own voice right in the browser.

Call Greeting “Thanks for calling Whitfield Cleaning. Please hold while we connect you.”

Voicemail Greeting “You’ve reached Whitfield Cleaning. We’re with a customer right now. Leave a message and we’ll call you back today.”

Holiday Greeting “We’re closed for the holiday. Leave a message and we’ll call you back the next business day.”

Menus

## “Press 1 for scheduling. Press 2 for billing.”

A phone menu sends callers to the right place: a teammate, a group, or voicemail. You see which option every caller picked, right on the call.

Just you? A menu still makes a one-person business sound bigger, and every option can ring your own phone.

Your setup

## Change it in a minute, in plain English.

Edit each step on a simple screen, or see the whole path as a map. Or just describe what you want, like “At lunch, ring my cell,” and review the change before it goes live. [How GBPN uses AI](https://gbpn.com/ai)

Every setup comes with a short, plain-English summary, so you always know what callers get.

What this flow does

Weekdays from 8 AM to 5 PM, callers hear your greeting, then your cell rings for 20 seconds. If you don’t answer, they can leave a voicemail. Nights, weekends, and holidays go straight to your after-hours voicemail.

## Routing questions

Who sets up my greeting and business hours?

We do, with you. Your number works right away, and a real person helps you set up your greeting, hours, and menu for free. You can change anything yourself later.

Can I make a phone menu like “Press 1 for sales”?

Yes. Callers press a key to choose, and each option can ring a different person, a group, or voicemail. Every option can even ring you, so callers reach the right place while you take every call.

Can calls go somewhere different on holidays?

Yes. Add holidays with a name and dates, and they can repeat every year. On a holiday, calls follow your closed route, like a holiday greeting and voicemail.

Can I record my own greeting?

Yes. Record it in your browser, upload an audio file, or type the words and pick one of six AI voices to read them.

Can I change things myself?

Yes. Edit each step on a simple screen, see the whole path as a map, or describe the change in plain English and review it before you apply it.
