What does Front Counter AI do?

We build your website, run your Google listing and ads, send emails and texts to your customers, answer your phones with an AI Receptionist and set up Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT in your office. Pricing is set on a short call and put in writing before any work starts.

Who runs my website and my Google listing?

We do. Your website, your domain, your Google listing and your ad account are hosted and run on our accounts, so one company is accountable for all of it and nothing waits on a sign-up you have not done. What happens if you ever leave is confirmed on the call.

What does the Website Refresh include?

Two working sessions with you, and the site is done. Up to six pages on one of our designs, built for phones with a tap-to-call button on every screen, your Google reviews on the page and an estimate form that texts you, live in five business days. After launch, Hosting and Care includes one content change each month.

What does the Custom Storefront include?

A custom design with AI built in: an AI estimate agent that asks the right questions, gathers photos and books the visit; an AI chat agent that answers questions about hours, prices, your service area and what to expect; voice, so a customer can talk to the site out loud and get an answer; and the search words your customers actually use, with a page for every service in every town. Four working sessions, live in about 30 days.

Is the ad money extra?

Yes. Your ad money goes to Google on top of our fee, at the budget you set, and you see every dollar. The ad account is run on our accounts, so one company is accountable for all of it. Our fee is set on a short call and confirmed in writing before any work starts.

How is the AI Receptionist priced?

It is priced on a short call and confirmed in writing before any work starts, month to month. Your number and minutes are billed at the carrier's cost with no markup. It takes only the calls you miss, answers the way a receptionist does, and is live in about two weeks.

What is AI in Your Business?

We set up Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT in your office over four weeks: your files in one place and searchable, your email and calendar connected, your price book loaded, QuickBooks connected, and four classes for your team with a written playbook. Nothing custom-built. Priced on a short call, in writing before any work starts.

How do I get the free sample designs?

Give the business name and town, and a cell number or an email. A person on our team calls you for a short call (with only an email, we email you to set one up), the same business day (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific; otherwise by 9 a.m. the next business day), then sends three sample designs of your front page, built around your business, so you can pick the one you like, and a snapshot of how you show up on Google. Designs to look at, not a working website; the one you pick becomes your site when you say go. Free, no sign-up.

How do I reach a person?

Leave your number and a person calls you back the same business day, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific; otherwise by 9 a.m. the next business day. Or pick a 20-minute call at https://cal.com/frontcounter.ai/call, or email sam@frontcounter.ai. Or talk to Sam, our AI agent, right now, out loud or in writing, at https://frontcounter.ai/talk/. Or call (628) 303-3366: Sam, our AI agent, answers and takes the message for a person.

Who do you work with?

Established owner-run businesses of every kind, anywhere in the United States, by phone, video and email: roofing companies, trucking companies, plumbers, electricians, heating and air companies, pest control and every other kind of business with customers, phones and a website.

Who runs Front Counter AI?

Front Counter AI was founded by Jeff, an owner who built systems to run his own businesses better. Our team builds and runs those systems for other owners, with AI doing in minutes what used to take weeks.

No. Sam is an AI agent, our Chief AI Officer, and says so. A person on our team sees every request.

Plain answers about websites, Google and AI for a service business.

What a website should cost, what an AI receptionist does, how to get reviews without breaking a rule, and what Google needs to show you in the map. Written for the owner of a roofing company, a trucking company or any other owner-run business.

The guides.

What a website should cost a roofer or any other trade in 2026
The short answer: what you get and who stands behind it matter more than the number. Here is what the money should buy, what it should never buy, and the questions to ask anyone who quotes you.

What an AI receptionist is, how it is priced, and what it will not do
An AI receptionist answers the calls you miss the way a receptionist would: it books the job and texts you the details. Ours is priced on a short call, and the carrier bills the phone line separately. Here is how a call goes, what the law requires, and where a person still has to step in.

How to get more Google reviews for a contracting business without breaking the rules
More reviews than the shop next to you on the list is the cheapest advantage in the trades, and most owners never ask. Here is the way that works, the rules that get a listing suspended, and what we do for you if you would rather not think about it.

Do you need a website if you already have a Google Business Profile?
Yes, and the reason is not the one agencies give. The listing gets you found; the website gets you chosen, and Google reads the website to decide where the listing ranks. Here is what the listing alone cannot do, with numbers from our own scan of Google.

Local Services Ads and search ads for the trades: what owners should know before spending a dollar
Two kinds of Google ads bring calls to a contractor. One charges you for each call or message, the other for each click. Here is how each works, what a sensible month looks like, and what we do to run both.

What a Google Business Profile needs to show up in the map: a checklist for service businesses
The map pack is the three listings under the ads, and for a service business that is where most calls come from. This is the checklist we run on every listing we take over, in the order Google cares about.

Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT in a contractor's office: what it actually does day to day
Not a robot and not custom software: the same AI you have heard about, set up on your own files, your email and your price book, with the people in the office taught to use it, priced on a short call. Here is what a week looks like once it is in.
