Calls that go unanswered
Where Burbank calls go when nobody picks up
There are 2,765 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors in Los Angeles County. A missed call can be a job for one of them. Lithium Marketing runs an AI receptionist for Burbank service businesses, and builds custom automation around it, so a call gets answered and a job gets booked.
The receptionist answers 24/7 in your brand voice, asks the questions you approve, books the appointment, texts the caller the next step and sends urgent calls to a person on your list. You set the rules before a real caller hears them.

The Burbank market
Old homes mean questions the phone has to answer
71.5% of Burbank’s homes were built before 1980, and the median home was built in 1959. If your calls are about galvanized pipe, old wiring or equipment nobody stocks on the truck, the receptionist’s answers have to be written for that housing stock.
Only 43.3% of Burbank’s occupied homes are owner-occupied, so many of the calls you take may come from renters or from a manager acting for the owner. A question about who holds the property sorts those early, and the owner’s own call goes into the same calendar.

Call rules for emergency work and planned work
Start with the work each call describes. A burst pipe can go to the on-call tech, and a garage door that will not close can be booked for the next morning, so the rules you write decide which call gets which.
Project work needs a longer conversation. 1,747 new home builders and 1,300 landscaping companies work in Los Angeles County, and a caller planning a project can be asked for the address, the scope and the timing, then booked into an estimate slot on the calendar.

Set up for you
What we set up before your line goes live
The build starts with your call log and ends with a line you have tested.
Learn how your phone runs
We start with the calls you take now: the emergencies, the repeat customers and the questions your crews answer every day.
Build the answers
Your service list, hours and the answers you repeat most go into the knowledge base in your words. You hear a sample and choose a voice from the 30.
Hook up the booking and the handoff
We connect your calendar or CRM where it supports the booking, then set which calls ring a person and which number they ring.
Check the recordings together
We review call recordings and transcripts with you, and rewrite any answer that confused a caller.
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
Phone projects
Two phone builds, two different jobs
Lithium built the Smart Doors website, then put the AI receptionist on the garage door company’s phones. The other case is a plumbing company’s custom AI phone system, which sorts an evening emergency, texts the on-call tech and books the routine job after hours.

FAQ
Before the phone starts answering for Burbank
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What does the AI receptionist cost, and what is included?
$179 a month, with no contract and no setup fee, and it is fully managed. The price covers the voice, the knowledge base, the booking, the texts and the transfers, and after-hours calls go through the same service.
What happens when a caller wants a person?
Some calls should reach a human, and those follow the list you write. A burst pipe, a customer already on the books, or a caller who says so gets a live transfer. The receptionist qualifies and books everything else on the spot, or sends a text with the next step.
How quickly can it go live?
It is usually a matter of days, not weeks. We build the voice, the knowledge base and the call rules once you have approved them, and you can ring your own line and hear it before any customer does.
What happens to a burst-pipe call after hours?
Nothing waits until morning. The receptionist picks up, asks the questions you approved, and follows your list: a live transfer, the next free slot, or a text to whoever holds the phone that night. That plumbing project on the card is a separate custom build, quoted on its own.
What administrative work can automation take over?
It covers what happens after the phone hangs up. A record in the CRM, a text the next morning, a review request once the work is done, a document filed where you can find it: we quote those pieces separately, and they typically take one to two weeks.
Free action plan
Hear it answer, then build your Burbank call rules
The number in the contact section reaches Lithium’s own receptionist, so you can hear how it handles a call. Then send your call list and the rules you want; a co-founder will go through the setup with you on a short video call.
