Branded Calling: Show Your Name, Logo, and Reason for Calling

Stop looking like a scam call. Branded Calling puts your verified company name, logo, and reason for calling right on the recipient's screen before they answer.

Most people don't answer calls from numbers they don't recognize anymore, and honestly, that's the right instinct. Spam and scam calls have trained everyone to let unfamiliar numbers go to voicemail. Branded Calling fixes that on your end: instead of a bare ten-digit number, the recipient sees your verified business name, your logo, and the reason you're calling, right on their phone's screen, before they ever pick up.

What shows up on the recipient's phone

When you call a customer with Branded Calling turned on, three things replace the usual anonymous number: your verified company name, so they know it's really you and not a spoofed caller ID; your logo, displayed alongside the name on supported devices for instant visual recognition; and a short reason for calling, like "Appointment Reminder" or "Invoice Follow-Up," so the recipient knows what the call is about before they answer. Put together, that's the difference between a call that gets ignored and one that gets picked up with confidence.

What's included

Verified company name
Your real business name is displayed instead of a raw phone number, so customers know it's legitimately you.
Your logo
Displayed next to your name on supported devices for instant, at-a-glance brand recognition.
Reason for calling
A short label like "Appointment Reminder" or "Billing" tells the recipient what the call is about before they answer.
STIR/SHAKEN verified
Your caller ID is cryptographically attested, so carriers and phones can confirm the call is genuinely from you.

Why it matters

Answer rates on unlabeled calls have been dropping for years as spam volume has climbed. Branded Calling directly addresses the reason customers don't pick up: they don't know who's calling or why. A handful of ways it shows up in practice:

  • Appointment reminders: customers see "Appointment Reminder" and your name, so they answer instead of screening the call.
  • Billing and collections: a clear "Invoice Follow-Up" label reads as legitimate business, not a robocall.
  • Outbound sales and support: your logo and name build trust before the conversation even starts.
  • Brand consistency: every outbound call reinforces your business identity instead of showing a generic number.

Branded Calling is a $15 one-time setup, then $20 a month. No long-term contract, cancel anytime.
