Customers call wanting a deep clean Tuesday. SMB Forge answers, books the job, and texts you the address — starting at $49/mo.
Hiring an answering service costs $400+/mo. SMB Forge does it all — starting at $49/mo.
Customers call between cleans. You're knee-deep in a bathroom. By the time you call back, they've booked another company.
Bi-weekly, monthly, deep clean every quarter — keeping it straight in a paper book costs you 3 hours a week and at least one no-show a month.
Office cleaning gets paid late. Manual invoicing means you're chasing a $400 invoice 6 weeks later instead of running another job.
Never miss a call again. AI answers, captures details, and texts you the summary.
Customers text to book. You confirm from Telegram. Calendar synced automatically.
Manage bookings, invoices, and orders from Telegram — no app or dashboard needed.
Send invoices by text. Customers pay online. Everything tracks in Google Sheets.
Auto-request reviews after jobs. Build your Google rating while you work.
Send promotions, seasonal offers, and follow-ups to your customer list.

Most shop owners spend 5+ hours a week on phone tag, handwritten receipts, and scheduling. At $99/mo, it pays for itself if it saves you just 2 hours of admin work.
SMB Forge works as a virtual receptionist for cleaners — answering calls 24/7, booking jobs, and sending invoices so you never miss a lead. Unlike a traditional answering service, our AI assistant handles the full conversation: qualifies the caller, checks your calendar, books the appointment, and follows up. Cleaning-specific recurring schedule management, deep-clean quoting, and booking-window call handling — all without hiring a receptionist.
SMB Forge works for any service business. See how we help yours:
Every booking call answered. Every recurring clean scheduled. Every invoice sent. One platform, $49/mo.
