Baton Rouge calls,
even when the storm hits.
For a Baton Rouge business, an AI receptionist is a phone line that picks up in about 0.3 seconds at any hour, takes the caller’s details and books the job into your calendar. When a tropical storm rolls up from the Gulf, roofers, tree crews and water damage companies in East Baton Rouge Parish can get more calls in a day than a front desk can answer; Voxgard answers each one, asks the ZIP and street, and marks urgent problems in the summary. It covers the 225 area, from Mid City and Shenandoah to Prairieville, Denham Springs and Zachary, on Central Time. It speaks 32 languages, Spanish included, and switches when the caller does. Answers come only from the services, hours and prices you loaded; anything else becomes a message or a transfer. You get a recording and transcript of every call. Plans start at $249 a month, and the free five-day pilot runs on your real calls with no credit card.

What Baton Rouge means
for your phone line.
Hurricane season
From June through November, one storm can bring downed trees, roof leaks and flooded floors across the parish at once, and every owner calls the same week.
LSU Saturday nights
Night games at Tiger Stadium pack the city, so caterers, party rentals and restaurants field reservation calls while their crews are already working.
The river corridor
Plants and terminals along the Mississippi run around the clock, which keeps contractors and staffing firms taking calls at shift change and late at night.

Baton Rouge:
questions and answers.
On Standard it answers three calls at the same time and on Enterprise there is no limit, so more storm-day callers get through at once. Each caller’s address and problem lands in the summary.
No. It does not decide what counts as an emergency or dispatch anyone. It captures the problem and address, marks it urgent, and rings your on-call person when the caller asks for one.
Yes. Forward the number you already have, or port it to Voxgard. Nothing gets installed at your office.
It reads free and busy time in Google Calendar or Calendly during the call, books the slot, reads it back and texts a confirmation from your number.
Forward your number or port it; nothing to install. Every plan starts with a free five-day pilot on your real calls, no credit card. How the pilot works.
