  • Business Category — Select your industry (dental, legal, automotive, etc.)
  • AI Voice — Choose from natural-sounding voice options
  • Greeting Style — Professional, friendly, or casual tone

Step 3: Add Your Locations#

Set up each of your business locations:

  • Address — Full street address for directions
  • Time Zone — Ensures accurate appointment scheduling
  • Business Hours — When you're open each day of the week
