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.

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

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.

Written by Front Counter AI. Published October 12, 2026.

What happens when a customer calls and you are on a ladder.

The phone rings. You are in an attic, on a roof or under a sink, and after four rings the call goes where it always went: voicemail, and then to the next company on the list. With an AI Receptionist, the call rings through instead. It answers with your company name, says the call is recorded, asks what the job is, where it is and when the customer needs it, offers the times you have open, books the visit and texts you the details before you are off the ladder.

If the caller asks whether they are talking to a person, it says no. It never pretends.

How it is priced.

Month to month, priced on a short call and confirmed in writing before any work starts. The phone number and the minutes are billed at the carrier's cost with no markup. It takes only the calls you miss, so your own greeting and your own voice stay on every call you answer. It is live in about two weeks, and if you cancel within 30 days of going live the first month is refunded.

What the law says.

The rules on recorded calls and on AI differ from state to state. We follow the rules where you are, including California's, among the strictest. On every call that means two things: it says at the start that the call is recorded, and it never pretends to be a person; asked, it says it is an AI. The receptionist answers like a receptionist, and it tells the truth about what it is.

What it will not do.

It will not make calls to strangers; an AI voice calls someone only because that person asked. It does not replace a person for a complaint, a bid on a big job or a customer who wants to argue; it takes the message, books a call-back and hands those to you. It makes mistakes a person has to catch, which is why a person on our team listens to recordings every week and tightens the script.

It also does not know your prices unless you give them to it. The setup includes your price book, your service area, your hours and the questions you want asked for each kind of job.

Is it worth it for a company with several crews or trucks?

Count the calls you missed last week. Most owner-run companies miss more than they think, because a missed call shows up as nothing at all. The recordings tell you exactly how many jobs it booked, so the math is yours to check every month.

Questions owners ask.

Does it answer every call?
Only the ones you miss. Your phone rings first. If you do not pick up, it does.

Can I hear the calls?
Every call is recorded and says so at the start. You get the recording and a written transcript of each one, the same day.

What does it sound like?
A calm, clear voice. You can hear three example calls on the AI Receptionist page before you decide.

Does it know my prices and my service area?
Yes, once you give them to us at setup. It quotes only what you told it to quote and books only in the towns you told it to book.

What if a caller just wants a person?
It takes the name and number, says when a person will call back, and texts you the message. You decide who calls back and when.
