How does Yelp Auto Responder Works?
When a customer messages your business, our AI reads their message and understands what they want. Then it
sends them a personalized response that fits your business style. It can ask for their contact info, call them if needed, and book appointments.
Unlike basic auto-reply tools, our AI actually understands context and creates natural conversations that
convert leads into customers.

How to Configure Yelp and Thumbtack Lead Response with NZ Leads
Connect supported lead sources, review your business details, and configure a channel-specific response workflow in NZ Leads.
- 1
Sign up and choose your lead sources
Create your NZ Leads account and select which lead channels you want to configure: Yelp ($99/mo), Thumbtack ($99/mo), Facebook Messenger ($49/mo), Facebook Lead Ads ($19/mo), Instagram ($49/mo), or AI Voice Agent ($10/mo phone + $1/min). Pay only for the channels you activate.
- 2
Connect supported lead sources
Connect each supported source using the setup available for that channel. Some sources use account authorization, while custom CRM connections depend on the API or webhook access that CRM provides.
- 3
Review your business details
Add or review your services, pricing, business hours, service area, and brand details. These inputs control the response rules and the prices or ranges the AI can use.
- 4
Customize voice and response rules
Set the brand voice, escalation rules, quote thresholds, and the questions that can trigger an optional outbound AI voice call. Keep disclosure and staff-review steps required by each source.
- 5
Activate each configured workflow
NZ Leads applies the workflow selected for each source, including staff review where required, follow-up rules, booking or handoff, and optional AI voice calls.
- 6
Review conversations and refine the rules
Review response timing, escalations, and the accuracy of configured quotes and questions. Adjust each source workflow from your own operating data instead of assuming a conversion result.

NZ Leads vs Manual Response and Answering Services
Side-by-side feature matrix. Speed-to-lead, after-hours coverage, voice callbacks, and pricing model — exactly what matters when you're paying $25–$60 per lead.
| Feature | NZ Leads | Manual Response | Answering Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median first-response time | Under 2 seconds | 15 min – 4 hours | 30 sec – 2 min (business hours only) |
| After-hours coverage | 24/7 | No | Limited / extra cost |
| Reads actual lead intent | Yes — every reply tailored | Yes (when human replies) | Yes |
| Carries full conversation forward | Yes — until handoff or booking | Yes (manual) | Yes (live transfer / message) |
| AI voice agent callback | Yes — calls lead in seconds | No | No — inbound only |
| Books appointments directly | Yes — into your calendar | Yes (manual scheduling) | Sometimes |
| Multi-platform (Yelp + Thumbtack + FB + LSA) | Yes — single dashboard | Yes (juggle inboxes) | Phone only |
| Pricing model | Per-source: $19–$99/mo + $1/min voice | Your time × hourly cost | Flat $300–$800/mo or per-minute $1–$3 |
| Setup time | Under 24 hours, OAuth-only | None — but ongoing time cost | 1–2 weeks (script training) |
| Conversion lift vs manual response | More booked jobs from instant reply | Baseline | Limited — slower, scripted |

Recurring billing: Each active source is billed monthly. Voice Agent phone numbers are $10/month each; a newly purchased number may also carry a $10 one-time fee; inbound and outbound usage is $1 per billable minute. Completed non-batch calls of at least 10 seconds round up to the next whole minute per call. Eligible completed batch-call durations are aggregated within each immutable usage report and that aggregate rounds up to the next whole minute.
A 7-day trial applies only to eligible first-time customers and locations only when the exact order summary shows it. Reconnected, transferred, reactivated, or previously subscribed locations do not automatically start another trial. Activating a paid source mid-cycle may create the prorated charge shown before confirmation. Cancel online from Billing.
