Common Questions

Online Foundation typically targets 48–72 hours once intake is complete. Growth Engine usually takes 5–7 days, with SMS features switching on after carrier registration is approved. AI Front Office generally takes 7–14 days because the phone agent, booking rules, and live-call QA need deeper testing.

Online Foundation is $147 per month with $250 setup. Growth Engine is $397 per month with $500 setup. AI Front Office is $997 per month with $997 setup. Setup is waived with the qualifying 6-month plan for Foundation or Growth, or a 12-month plan for AI Front Office.

Yes. Missed-call text-back, review automation, booking and reminders, websites, local SEO, website chat, and AI receptionist coverage are available individually. The three plans are priced to be the better value when several pieces need to work together.

Select services can prove themselves quickly and may include a 30-day trial: missed-call text-back, the review engine, and AI website chat.

It works best for local businesses where a missed call can quickly become a lost job: restoration, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, hauling, repair, detailing, and appointment-based operations. Use it for after-hours coverage, overflow, or every inbound call. You can call the live demo here.

Yes. The free systems audit identifies where calls, booking, reviews, or follow-up currently leak. You will get the clearest practical next step without an obligation to purchase a plan.
