Why Local Pros Choose SimpleVox Over Google Voice

Google Voice works in a pinch. It’s free, functional, and fine—until your phone becomes your front door.

SimpleVox is purpose-built for local service pros who rely on responsiveness to win jobs and deliver service. Google Voice wasn’t made for that.

Why Google Voice Falls Short for Service Pros

Google Voice isn’t built for collaboration—no shared voicemails, no routing to the right teammate, and no way to see who followed up.

No time-based logic, no ring groups, and no call flows. You get a number, not a system.

No audio CAPTCHA or custom rules. That “Unknown Caller” ringing at 6PM? Could be a job—or just junk.

When something breaks or you need help, there’s no one to call. SimpleVox gives you a real support team that cares about small businesses.

If your phone is your lifeline, you need something stronger. SimpleVox helps local pros manage, route, and respond to every call like a pro.
