What the receptionist changes
Dover calls, answered and booked
Dover service businesses can put a managed AI receptionist from Lithium Marketing on their phone line, and the same team consults on the AI systems behind the rest of the business. A trade search like “pest control dover nh” brings about 50 searches a month, and a call that comes from one has to be answered before the caller tries the next name.
The receptionist costs $179 a month, with no contract and no setup fee. It answers every call, qualifies the caller, books the appointment, texts a follow-up and transfers to a real person under the rules you set. Custom automation gets its own quote after a free discovery call, and AI consulting is a separate service.

The Dover market
Who is on the other end of a Dover call
Dover's owner-occupied rate is 52.7%, so a share of the callers rent the property and a landlord approves the repair. The receptionist can ask who owns the property and route the booking to the right person.
Dover has 15,433 housing units, and the city's population grew 5.7% between 2020 and 2025. If a new resident has no regular trade yet, the first number that answers has the best chance at the job, so the line should be ready at any hour.

Trades in Strafford County
Different Dover trades, different phone rules
A plumber taking an emergency call and a remodeler taking a request for an estimate need different questions, and the receptionist follows the script you approve for each. Strafford County has 41 residential remodelers, and a remodeler's caller may be planning a project, so the script asks about scope and timing.
Pest control companies number 6 in Strafford County, and painting contractors 12. A small trade needs the same answers as a big one, so the knowledge base is built around the services sold, not the size of the company.

Proof
AI on a garage door website and a plumbing phone line
The AI receptionist on Smart Doors LLC’s phones came after Lithium built its website. A plumbing company’s custom phone system is separate work: it sorts urgent calls, texts the on-call tech and books the rest.

FAQ
Dover AI questions before the first call
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Can a caller still reach a real person?
They can, and you set the rules: a transfer rings the number you pick when someone asks for a person or the job needs one. The rest get answered and booked, and a text can follow.
How is custom automation priced?
It is quoted after a free discovery call, because the scope depends on your systems and the work you want to remove. A typical build takes one to two weeks, and it is priced separately from the $179 a month receptionist, which has no contract and no setup fee.
Does Lithium consult on AI without the receptionist?
Yes. AI consulting is its own service. Lithium can review the workflows, the tools and the data you already use and recommend what to automate first, and the receptionist is a separate product you can add or skip.
How long does setup take?
Usually a few days, once the service list, the transfer rules and the calendar access are in hand. You call the line yourself before it takes a real call.
What happens if it does not know the answer?
It sends the call to the transfer number you set, or it takes the caller's name, number and question so your team can answer. You choose which calls take a transfer and which become a message.
