The calls you're missing right now

Calls going unanswered during the lunch rush and busy periods
Melbourne businesses lose customers every day to missed calls — on lunch breaks, between jobs, or when you're with another client across town.

Customers searching for a local Melbourne business at 7pm expect a response. Voicemail means they call the next business on the list.
Hiring a receptionist is expensive in Melbourne
Full-time reception in Melbourne costs $58,000–$70,000 per year. Part-time still means gaps in coverage and sick days.
Melbourne's market is too competitive to miss a single enquiry

“Running a health clinic, every call matters — patients often ring while we're mid-treatment and can't step away. Before noema, those calls went to voicemail and we'd lose the appointment. Now the AI captures every enquiry and I get the details instantly. We've recovered bookings we never would have known we missed.”

Common questions
Is noema specifically designed for Melbourne businesses?
noema works for any Australian business, but you configure it for your specific service area — your suburbs, your hours, your services. Melbourne businesses can set the AI to reference local areas like Richmond, Brunswick, St Kilda, or Dandenong when speaking with callers.
Will Melbourne customers know they're talking to an AI?
noema uses natural-sounding Australian voices trained on real conversations. The AI introduces itself as your virtual assistant, not a human. Most callers appreciate the quick, professional response.
How does it compare to hiring a Melbourne receptionist?
A full-time receptionist in Melbourne costs $58,000–$70,000 per year, only works business hours, and takes sick days. noema costs a fraction of that and answers every call 24/7 — including weekends and public holidays.
How long does setup take?
About 5 minutes. Connect your phone number, tell the AI about your business and service area, and you're live. No tech skills needed.
Can I try it before committing?
Yes — the free plan includes 20 calls per month with no credit card required. Most Melbourne businesses see results within the first week.
