What the phone is worth
The Bozeman calls that arrive after hours
A click on “electrician bozeman” averages $9.24, and a call that rings out at 8 pm can waste that spend. Lithium Marketing puts an AI receptionist on the line so the clock stops deciding which calls get answered.
“Electrician bozeman” draws 880 searches a month, and “plumber bozeman” 590. The receptionist sits behind both searches: it answers every call, 24/7, qualifies the caller, books the appointment or texts the details, and transfers to a person when your rules say to.

The properties you get called about
Older homes, and the questions they bring
In Gallatin County, 29.0% of the housing was built before 1980. If your work skews to older homes, the receptionist’s knowledge base should hold your answers on pipe material, wiring age and furnace service, in your words.
Bozeman’s economy includes at least two dozen high-tech companies and several software companies. A trade business does not need that kind of build. What it needs is narrower: quotes, dispatch texts, review requests and the follow-up after a job, which is where Lithium’s AI consulting starts.

The county’s trades
Who answers the phone in Gallatin County
Gallatin County has 93 electrical contractors. If an electrician’s calls split between emergencies, inspections and quoted installations, each one needs a different first question, so the call rules have to name all three.
Gallatin County has 4 septic tank services. If those calls come at odd hours, the receptionist should know the difference between a job that can wait until morning and one that cannot.

Set up and testing
Getting the Bozeman line ready to answer
You approve every rule before a real caller hears it, and the first test calls are yours to make.
Write a rule for each call type
Emergencies, quote requests, existing customers and everything else get their own path, written down before the line takes a call.
Put the answers in your words
Your hours, service area and the questions customers repeat go into the knowledge base as you would say them, and you approve the voice.
Check the connections before launch
The calendar, the CRM and each transfer number get tested, because a booking that lands nowhere is worse than no booking.
Listen to the calls together
Recordings and transcripts are there to review, and anything that went sideways gets a new rule before it repeats.
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
Two phone projects
A plumbing phone project and a garage door account
The plumbing project on the card is a custom AI phone system. The plumber’s after-hours emergency calls had been going to voicemail, and the system answers them now. Smart Doors LLC, a garage door company, started with a website from Lithium and added the AI receptionist later.

FAQ
Questions about the Bozeman phone line
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What happens when a caller asks for a person?
Any caller can reach one, and you set the path. Name the number for emergencies and existing customers, and the receptionist transfers those calls there; the rest are answered, qualified and booked or texted under your rules.
Is $179 the whole cost?
The receptionist is $179 a month, no contract and no setup fee. Custom automation is scoped on its own call, so the two prices never get bundled into one number you cannot read.
How long until the line is answering?
Usually a few days once the rules, the answers and the calendar connection are agreed. You test it with your own calls before it takes a real one, and the voice and the knowledge base can change after that.
Can it book into our schedule?
It books the appointment into the calendar or CRM you use once we have checked that connection. If your software cannot take a booking, the call still gets captured and texted to your team.
What else can Lithium automate?
The work after the call: CRM updates, follow-up texts, review requests and document processing. Lithium also consults on which of those are worth building, because a task you run twice a week may not justify a custom build.
