Join the WaitlistFrequently Asked Questions
What makes a good voicemail greeting?+
A good voicemail greeting is clear, concise, and professional. It should include your business name, a brief reason why you can't answer, and instructions for leaving a message. Keep it under 30 seconds and speak at a steady pace.
How long should a business voicemail greeting be?+
Ideally between 20-30 seconds. Anything longer and callers may hang up. Include only essential information: your business name, that you're unavailable, and how to leave a message or reach you another way.
Should I include my business hours in my voicemail?+
Yes, especially if you receive many after-hours calls. Letting callers know your hours sets expectations for when they'll hear back and reduces repeat calls. Our generator can add industry-appropriate hours automatically.
What tone should I use for my business voicemail?+
Match your brand personality. Law firms and medical offices typically use a professional tone. Salons and restaurants can be friendlier. The key is consistency with how you communicate across all channels.
Can I use these scripts for my auto attendant?+
Absolutely! These scripts work great as auto attendant greetings, IVR prompts, or main business line voicemails. You may want to adjust the wording slightly to add menu options for an auto attendant.
How often should I update my voicemail greeting?+
Update your greeting whenever your hours, services, or contact information change. Many businesses also update for holidays or seasonal changes. A current greeting shows callers your business is active and attentive.
