USAnswer Inc.

USAnswer is a virtual answering service and live receptionist company based in Portland, Maine, serving small businesses across the United States. The core promise is direct: when a customer calls, a real person answers. Not voicemail, not an automated menu. Their site cites that 80% of callers hang up when they reach voicemail, and USAnswer exists to make sure that never happens to the businesses they serve. The service functions as an outsourced front-line call center for small and mid-size businesses. When a customer dials your number, a trained US-based receptionist answers using your custom greeting, follows your specific call-handling instructions, and either transfers the call to you directly or sends a detailed message by text or email. Most clients are up and running within 24 hours. The onboarding takes roughly 15 minutes, and from that point callers experience a professional, personable reception that sounds like it is coming from inside your office. USAnswer covers a wide range of industries. Attorneys and solo law practices use the service for new client intake and after-hours coverage. Contractors in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and construction use it to capture urgent service calls. Property managers, both commercial and residential, rely on it for emergency lines and after-hours tenant contact. Medical clinics and private practices use USAnswer to give patients a human point of contact from the first ring. Real estate agents, IT support firms, and small businesses across virtually any category round out the client base. A few things set USAnswer apart operationally. Every receptionist is US-based and trained in-house. There are no offshore call centers involved. Billing runs by the second, not the minute, so clients pay only for time actually used. There are no contracts. Plans run month to month, starting at $98 per month, with round-the-clock 24/7 coverage available for $20 more per month. Any new client who is unsatisfied in the first 30 days receives a full refund, no questions asked. The company has been in business for over 10 years, and customer reviews consistently highlight the personable, non-scripted quality of their receptionists. Businesses looking for a reliable customer support and call center USA solution that fits a small-business budget, with no long-term commitment, can get started at usanswer.com. For outsourcing consultants or BPO company USA partners evaluating live answering and back office coverage options for their clients, USAnswer offers a proven, straightforward service worth considering.
