AI, answered
What answers every Auburn call, day or night
An AI receptionist answers every call an Auburn service business gets, day or night, and Lithium Marketing sets it up around the way your shop already works. King County has 468 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, and a missed call sends that customer to one of them.
Some of those calls arrive after hours. King County also has 234 excavation and site preparation contractors, and a job that starts with a call at 7 p.m. can be booked before anyone is back at the shop. The receptionist takes the details, answers the questions you approved and either books the work or sends it to the right person. That work starts with AI consulting, because the rules should match the calls you already get.
Calls in Auburn
What Auburn types before it dials
Searches for local trades are the calls you are buying or earning. “Garage door repair auburn wa” draws 90 searches a month and averages $41.58 a click, and if a garage door call is a same-day request, the receptionist's rules should say who gets transferred and who gets booked.
The same setup covers a landscaper or a restoration company. “Water damage restoration auburn wa” draws 20 searches a month, and when one of those calls comes in after a leak, the caller needs an answer and a next step, not a form. The receptionist can take the address, the urgency and the callback number, then book the next opening or transfer the call to your on-call tech.

The Auburn market
Who calls, and what the receptionist should ask
Auburn has 86,301 residents, and the median home was built in 1991, so much of the housing has been standing for decades. The receptionist’s answers should cover the repair and replacement work you take on, in your words, and be clear about what you will not do after hours.
The city is spread across distinct neighborhoods, from Downtown to Lea Hill and Lakeland Hills, and a caller’s address tells the receptionist whether the job is inside your service area and which crew should hear about it. Lakeland Hills sits on both sides of the King and Pierce county line, so the call rules should say which side of the line you serve before a job gets booked.

Trades in King County
One phone line, two kinds of caller
If a pipe bursts, the caller wants the on-call tech; if a kitchen is being planned, the caller wants a weekday estimate, with the project type and timeline captured. The receptionist can follow a different script for each, and the script can be changed without replacing the phone number.
King County has 874 new home builders, and a builder’s caller usually has a project on the table, not an emergency. For that trade, the receptionist captures the lot address, the stage and the timeline, then books a meeting with the right person. A plumber’s or an electrician’s caller gets the urgency questions first.

Set up for you
What happens before the line goes live
You approve every answer before a real caller hears it.
List the calls that cost you jobs
We sort the calls you already get by type, then mark the ones that needed a person and the ones a script could have finished.
Agree the answers
Every service, coverage boundary and opening hour becomes a written answer you sign off on before the line goes live.
Connect the calendar and the transfers
Bookings write into the calendar you use once we confirm the connection, and a transfer rings the phone you already carry.
Rehearse, then go live
We make test calls from different phones, fix what sounds wrong, and keep reading transcripts until the rules hold.

The same eight parts go into every AI receptionist setup, wherever the business is.

- Answers common questions
- Sends follow-up texts
- Captures every detail
- Transfers to a real person when needed
- Connects to your CRM and calendar
Proof
Two clients, two phone systems
After-hours emergencies at a plumbing company used to go to voicemail. Lithium built the custom AI phone system that catches them now, and the card beside this text shows the result. Next to it is the Smart Doors LLC website, built first; the garage door company added the AI receptionist later.

Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What happens when a caller asks for a person?
A caller who asks for a person is sent straight to your team. You build the short list of calls that always transfer, like a burst pipe at 11 p.m. or a customer with an open job, and the receptionist passes those to the on-call number. Every other caller gets answers about your services, a booking if it fits, or a text with the next step.
How does the cost compare with a receptionist hire?
The AI line is $179 a month and carries no contract. A human receptionist typically costs $3,500 or more a month, and that person still goes home at five. The AI covers nights, weekends and holidays without overtime.
How long does setup take?
Setup is short. The inputs are your service list, the rules for transfers and access to the calendar; we load the answers and the connections, then hand you the line to test before it answers a customer. Whatever sounds off gets fixed in the same pass.
Who gets the call at 2 a.m.?
Whoever your rules point to gets it. Nobody at your shop has to hear it ring: the line answers, works through the urgency questions you wrote and takes the path you chose, whether that means waking the on-call tech or holding a slot for the morning. The plumbing project on the card follows the same rule: an emergency call gets a person, not a voicemail.
What does custom automation cover?
After a call ends, the follow-up message, the review request, the CRM entry and the document trail are the jobs that eat the hours. Those are the usual first builds, plus links between the tools you already use. We quote after a free walkthrough of how you work, and most builds take one to two weeks.
