Aurora AI, answered

AI phone answering for Aurora service businesses

About 480 searches a month name “plumber aurora il”, and each one is a chance to call. Lithium Marketing sets up an AI receptionist that answers every call, qualifies the job under your rules and books it or passes it to a person.

The receptionist answers with your services, service area and hours loaded, so a caller gets an answer at 9 p.m. on a Sunday, when voicemail used to pick up. Custom automation, scoped separately, can handle the follow-up: a text with the appointment details, a review request after the job or a CRM update.

The Aurora market

Housing age and the questions your line answers

Kane County's median home was built in 1985, and 8.4% of its housing went up in 2010 or later. If most of your work is on older homes, load the knowledge base with the repair questions you hear on those jobs; if you work on newer houses, the answers should cover the systems and finishes you install.

Kane County has 525,757 residents. The receptionist can handle unlimited concurrent calls, so a run of calls on a busy morning does not have to hit voicemail.

Trades in Kane County

Different trades, different questions on the phone

Kane County has 442 landscaping services, along with 222 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors. If your plumbing calls are mostly urgent, the receptionist can send those to the on-call tech; if your landscaping calls are mostly estimate requests, it can book a visit instead.

For a garage door company, the questions can be whether the door is stuck open or closed and how soon a tech can come. For a remodeler, the questions can cover the project type, the address and the timeline. You approve the questions once, and the receptionist asks them the same way on every call.

Set up for you

How the Aurora phone line goes live

The rules are written with your team, tested on a real call, and only then put in front of a customer.

1

Sort the calls by what they need

We go through the calls you get and mark which ones need a person right away, which the receptionist can book and which get a text.

2

Load your answers

Your services, hours, coverage and the questions you hear most go into the knowledge base in your words; you choose from 30 natural voices.

3

Confirm the connections

We check the calendar, CRM and transfer numbers your team uses before the line takes a live call.

4

Test the line, then hand it over

You call the line, we go through the recording and transcript together, and any answer that misled a caller gets fixed before it goes live.

A plumbing phone project and a live garage door line

Two phone projects sit behind this section. The card covers a custom AI phone system for a plumbing company that had been losing after-hours emergency calls to voicemail. Smart Doors LLC, a garage door company, took a website from Lithium first and added the AI receptionist to its phones later.

FAQ

Before the receptionist answers a live call

Still curious?

Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].

What does the $179 a month cover?

The AI receptionist, fully managed: it answers every call 24/7, qualifies, books, texts and transfers under your rules. There is no contract and no setup fee. A human receptionist runs $3,500 or more a month; this line also answers nights and weekends. Custom automation is scoped separately after a free discovery call.

What happens when a caller insists on a person?

The call transfers to the number you name. You decide which callers get that route: emergencies, current customers and anyone who asks for a person. The receptionist tells the caller what happens next, then hands the call over.

Who answers the phone on a Sunday evening?

The receptionist does, under the same rules it uses on a weekday. It can book a routine call, transfer an emergency to the on-call tech or text the details to your team. You see the recording and transcript afterward.

How does the setup work?

You approve the questions and the transfer list, then Lithium loads the voice and knowledge base and confirms the calendar and phone connections. You test the line with a real call before it goes live. Setup usually takes days.

What can custom automation do that the receptionist does not?

The receptionist answers and books calls. Custom automation handles the work after the call, such as a quote follow-up, a reminder before the visit or a document the office retypes, and it is priced on its own after a free discovery call.
