Add Lobby’s free missed-call calculator, AI receptionist quiz, call-answering demo, and hold music to any post or page — no signup, just a shortcode or block:
- Missed-Call Calculator — visitors slide their call volume, missed-call rate, and job value, and see what unanswered calls cost them per year, with the recovery math shown. Built for anyone weighing an answering service, AI receptionist, or missed-call text-back tool against the cost of missed calls.
- Should I Hire a Receptionist? quiz — six questions, a straight verdict (hire, automate, or do nothing) with break-even math.
- Instant demo — visitors hear Robin, Lobby’s AI receptionist, handle live call answering right in the page.
- Hold Music library — eight royalty-free hold-music tracks, playable and downloadable right on the page. No account needed.
All four tools are fully interactive, auto-size to their content, work in English or Mexican Spanish, and come in dark or light themes. Great for agencies, consultants, and bloggers writing for local service businesses — plumbers, HVAC, salons, clinics, contractors, anyone who lives or dies by the phone.

External services
This plugin embeds interactive tools served from lobbyvoices.com (Lobby) inside an iframe, and listens for resize messages from that iframe so the widget can match its content height.
- What the service is: business-phone tools (calculator, quiz, hold music, and demo) hosted by Lobby.
- What data is sent: the embedded page loads from lobbyvoices.com when a visitor views a page containing the shortcode or block — equivalent to visiting that site (IP address and user agent, as with any embedded content). No WordPress user data, account data, or site data is sent. The tools require no signup and set no marketing cookies in the embed.
- When: only on pages where you place the shortcode or block.
- Service provider: Lobby — terms: https://lobbyvoices.com/terms — privacy: https://lobbyvoices.com/privacy

FAQ
-
Does it require an account?
-
No. The embedded tools do not require payment, signup, or an email address from the site owner or visitor.
-
Does it slow my site down?
-
No. The iframe is lazy-loaded, and the only script is a small resize listener that loads solely on pages using a shortcode or block.
-
Can I use it in Spanish?
-
Yes —
lang="es"renders the full tool in Mexican Spanish, including results. -
Can visitors hear the demo without calling anything?
-
Yes —
[lobby_demo]embeds Robin, Lobby’s AI receptionist, answering a live sample call right in the page. No phone number or signup needed. -
Can I use the hold music on my own phone system?
-
Yes — the tracks are free to download and use as hold music or on-hold messaging for your own business phone line. See the license notes on the hold-music tool page for the details.
-
What’s the “Support Lobby Tools” notice in wp-admin?
-
A one-time, dismissible prompt asking if you’d like to turn on the small “powered by Lobby” credit link under the widgets. It’s off by default (WordPress.org guideline 10); turning it on is optional and only changes what’s shown under the tools, not how they work.
