What an AI receptionist does for a Badger business
Lithium Marketing sets up and manages an AI receptionist for service businesses in Badger, at $179 a month with no contract and no setup fee. It answers every call, qualifies the job and books it, and it can send a call to the person you name under the rules you set. Custom AI automation is scoped separately after a free discovery call, and Lithium also sells AI consulting for owners who want help deciding what to automate.
Fairbanks North Star Borough has 36,359 occupied homes, and 38.2% of them went up before 1980. The answers you approve have to cover the older houses as well as the newer ones, since the fixtures, panels and pipe date from different decades.
Calls here
Where a Badger call starts
The plumber results page we looked at opens with an AI Overview and then the local listings, and a customer who taps a listing can call from it. That call is where the receptionist works, with your services, hours and service area ready.
A blocked drain, a dead panel or a wasp nest does not fit a phone menu. The receptionist asks the questions you wrote, books the visit or texts the details, and sends the urgent ones to the number on your list.

The housing behind the calls
What the housing stock adds to the answers
The median home in Fairbanks North Star Borough dates from 1985, and 8.9% of the homes there went up in 2010 or later. A knowledge base built only around newer houses leaves the older houses to a generic answer, so the answers are written for both.
Badger is a census-designated place in the Fairbanks North Star Borough of Alaska. Badger’s 6,721 occupied homes are the customers the phone serves, and the receptionist takes the call, keeps the details in one place and puts the visit on the calendar.

Call rules for the trades in this borough
Electrical work in Fairbanks North Star Borough runs to 28 contractors, and roofing to 11. The call rules we write for trades like those stay short: what is wrong, where it is, how bad it is, and whether someone has to go now.
Other trades need a different set of rules. The borough also lists 5 pest control companies, and a pest call can be a scheduled treatment, so those callers get questions about the property and the problem before a visit is booked.

Set up for you
Getting a Badger phone line live
You approve every answer and rule before a real caller hears them.
Sort the calls you already take
We start from the calls your team handles now: the ones that need someone immediately, the ones that can wait for a booking, and the ones a short list answers.
Write the answers you approve
Your services, coverage, opening times and the usual questions get written out in your own words, and nothing goes live until you have signed it off.
Wire the calendar and the person on call
The booking side connects to the calendar or CRM you already use, and the calls that need a person ring the number you name.
Read the recordings together
A recorded call or two gets played back with you, and any answer that misled a caller is rewritten.
What the AI receptionist does on every call
The same eight parts go into every AI receptionist setup, wherever the business is.
- Answers every call, 24/7
- Qualifies the lead
- Books the appointment
- Answers common questions
- Sends follow-up texts
- Captures every detail
- Transfers to a real person when needed
- Connects to your CRM and calendar
Proof
Phones that answer while the crew is working
The card beside this section is a custom phone system Lithium built for a plumbing company: it sorts the urgent calls, texts the technician on call and books the rest. Smart Doors LLC, a garage door company, has the AI receptionist answering its line, and the quote below comes from Chris Martin of Mt. Hood Pro Painting, speaking about his own phone.

“Ever since we've used Lithium Marketing, our phone has been ringing off the hook and we can hardly keep up with the leads we get from Google, Facebook or through our website. Most of our leads other than referrals are through Google and it's all because of Lithium Marketing.”

FAQ
Questions before an AI answers your line
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What happens when someone asks for a human?
It goes to the number you name. You pick which calls those are, whether that is emergencies, existing customers or anyone who asks for a person. The rest get answered, the details taken down and a time booked.
What does the receptionist cost, and what is not included?
It is $179 a month with no contract and no setup fee, and that covers answering, qualification, booking and the follow-up texts. Custom AI automation is quoted after a free discovery call, so its price never hides inside the monthly one.
How fast can it be answering?
The build is short, usually days. Lithium records the voice and the answers, you hear a test call, and then the line opens to customers.
Do we need new phone equipment?
It runs on Lithium’s side, so the setup call settles how calls reach it and where the urgent ones go.
What can be automated beyond the phone?
What happens after a call: a text when a quote goes out, a review request after the work, the CRM record and the link between the calendar and the spreadsheets. Scope and price come after a free discovery call, and a build typically takes one to two weeks.
Free action plan
Test the receptionist, then plan the setup
Start with a call to the demo line and listen to how the receptionist handles a question. Bring your own call list to a short video call afterwards, and a co-founder will walk you through the setup.
