Set up for you, from $150/month." url: https://ai-voice-agent.ca/ai-receptionist-small-business/ last_updated: 2026-11-05 --- # AI receptionist for small business owners who are too busy to answer When you are the owner, the technician and the office, the phone rings at the worst moment. The agent answers so you can finish the job and still get the customer. ## Made for a business with no front desk - Answers while your hands are full: On a ladder, under a sink, with a client or driving between jobs. The call is answered, not missed. - Costs less than a part-time hire: From $150 a month plus setup from $299. No wages, no training, no sick days. - Fills your calendar: Books work into the slots you choose, so you are not playing phone tag in the evening. - No setup work for you: About an hour of your time for the first session. We write the script, test it and tune it. - A text after every call: Who called, what they need and what was booked, so you can reply between jobs without listening to voicemail. - Urgent calls still reach you: Calls that match your emergency rules are transferred to your cell right away. ## Does a small business really need one? If you miss only a call or two a month, probably not. If you miss several a week and one job is worth a few hundred dollars, the agent usually pays for itself with one or two caught calls.

We do the setup work with you and keep adjusting until you are happy with how it handles calls. - We come to you: In Toronto and the GTA we visit your office, shop or yard. Elsewhere in Canada we do the same session over a video call. We learn your services, prices, service area, hours and how you like jobs booked. - We write the call script: What to say, which questions to ask, what counts as an emergency, who gets the transfer and what the agent must never promise. You read it and approve it. - We test it together: You and your team call the agent and try to trip it up. We fix every answer you do not like before a single customer hears it. - You go live with your number: You keep your phone number. Calls you do not answer, or all calls after hours, forward to the agent. - We tune it for the first weeks: We review real calls, tighten answers and add the questions customers actually ask, until the results are where you want them. ## Founding offer Setup is free for our first 10 businesses (normally from $299). 3 spots are taken, 7 are left. ## Small business questions **How do I know if I need one?** Take the [1-minute quiz](https://ai-voice-agent.ca/quiz/).
