ReceptionHQ has been a game changer for our company. The receptionists learned our scripts and prompts very quickly, and the email message system works so efficiently! So grateful for them!

I continue to have a great working…

I continue to have a great working relationship with Reception HQ. I honestly have had different answering sevices in the past and none of them have come close to what Reception HQ offers. The personalization is fantastic. I called in to my office and had a great conversation with the receptionist. This wasn't even meant to be a test however they sounded like my own staff in how I would like to be talked too as a consumer. The vibrant energetic voices and ability to cummunicate well is very important to me. I set up online scheduling as well which has increased my business efficiency. A loud shout out and thank you to the staff as you make my business look fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone that operates any type of business that wants to look great with the first impression of a phone call.

Great Service, Great People

I've been using this answering service for a few months now, and it's been a really solid experience. The staff is polite, messages are passed on accurately, and I haven’t missed a single important call. It’s exactly what I needed—reliable and easy to work with. Definitely glad I signed up.

Absolutely fantastic service we've been…

We’ve been using this fantastic service for years. They are bilingual, English/Spanish, and have great work ethics. They take good care of callers courteously and professionally, just like they are your own receptionist. Plus, they are affordable!

ReceptionHQ started out to be a great…

ReceptionHQ started out to be a great service. They provided an Australian themed voice for our automated answering message - it sounded great. When we got a message, they emailed us and texted us. All was good. Then a few weeks back, they stopped texting us - we started getting unhappy customers. We inquired and they said they could no longer text. They never gave us a heads up about the text issue - poor communication for sure. After multiple support inquiries and calls, they indicated we should download their App and we would get notified that way. After a few inbound calls, we found we were not getting notified from the App either. We called support and they indicated we needed to upgrade our service level at a more than 3 times price increase to make the App work. So, basically a bait and switch situation. And we intend to switch as soon as we can to a company that can communicate, and that exhibits a level of honesty that ReceptionHQ cannot seem to manage. They have definitely lost their way.

ReceptionHQ is amazing for my business

ReceptionHQ has been amazing for my electrical contracting business. When I first starting using their receptionists, I was surprized at how many more leads I received. I'm often on a work site where I can't always answer my phone, so their service has been a game changer for me. They also screen my overnight calls, so I only get woken up when there's an emergency callout from someone who is willing to pay. I can't thank them enough.

You get what you pay for

I hired ReceptionHQ US to handle answering calls and forwarding messages for my roofing company. Their job was to take information from incoming calls, send it to me promptly, and allow me to follow up with potential leads. Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience with their service.

I paid for a lead and later listened to the call recording on the lead platform. A homeowner had called about a roofing job, already had an insurance check in hand, and was ready to hire someone for the work. However, ReceptionHQ never informed me about the call. By the time I discovered it—three days later—the homeowner had already hired another company. I lost a $28,000 job because they failed to notify me.

When I contacted ReceptionHQ to address the issue, I was met with unprofessional behavior. The representative laughed at my concerns, and no manager was available to speak with me. They admitted this kind of issue "sometimes happens" but couldn't explain why I wasn't notified. To make matters worse, the call recording revealed that their representative was rude to my customer.

While ReceptionHQ is cheaper than some other answering services, this experience showed me the importance of quality and reliability. I wouldn’t recommend doing business with them. You truly get what you pay for, and in my case, it cost me a significant opportunity.

Do not give back reserve money

They took a while to learn a basic script but did OK after some time. Biggest issue is they charge a reserve amount and when you cancel they do not give that back, so I would not recommended them as there are other more honest phone services out there.
