Voicemail greetings, answered

What should I include in a voicemail greeting?

A professional voicemail greeting should include your business name, a brief explanation of why you can't answer (e.g. on another call, outside business hours), an invitation to leave a message with their name and number, and a callback promise. You can optionally include alternative contact methods or an emergency line.

How long should a business voicemail be?

Most business voicemails should be 20-30 seconds. Shorter than that and you risk sounding abrupt; longer and callers hang up before the beep. This generator creates three lengths, short (~15 sec), standard (~25 sec), and detailed (~35 sec), so you can pick the right one for your business.

Is this voicemail greeting generator really free?

Yes, completely free, no sign-up required. Generate as many scripts as you like across any scenario and tone. Clara built this tool because missed calls are one of the biggest sources of lost revenue for small businesses.

What if I want an audio version of my voicemail?

Once you have your script, you can record it yourself using your phone's voicemail recording feature, just read the script clearly and at a steady pace. Alternatively, try Clara: instead of a voicemail, Clara answers every call live in your business name, captures the caller's details, and sends you an instant summary, so you never need to rely on voicemail at all.
