Racine AI, answered
What an AI receptionist does for a Racine business
Racine County holds 67 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, and a caller who hits voicemail is likely dialing the next number. Lithium Marketing runs an AI receptionist for Racine service businesses that answers every call day or night, books the job and passes a caller to a person when they ask.
AI consulting comes before the build. We look at which calls go unanswered, what your staff retype and where a follow-up text goes missing, then say what is worth automating. Custom automation is a separate engagement, scoped after a discovery call, and the receptionist’s price does not cover it.
Calls in Racine
What a Racine call is worth before it rings
Pest control is the smallest group in Racine County at 5 companies, and “pest control racine” still draws about 170 searches a month. A click there averages $25.90, and a garage door click in Racine runs $18.00. That money is spent before the phone rings. The receptionist answers the call, walks the caller through your questions, and puts the booking on your calendar or sends a text with the next step.
The phone still rings from the Google profile and the website, not only from an ad. Give the line your service list, your hours and the towns you cover, and it can answer a question or book the job without handing the caller to a competitor.

The Racine market
Old houses, a humid summer and a phone that keeps ringing
Your knowledge base should answer the questions an older house raises, from the jobs you take to the service call fee and the soonest opening. In Racine, 87.4% of homes were built before 1980, so those answers come up.
In Racine, summers are slightly wetter and more humid than winters. If a humid week fills the schedule with cooling calls, unlimited concurrent calls means the line does not go busy, and you decide which callers get a person and which get booked.

Trades in Racine County
Which Racine trades live on the phone
Racine County lists 35 electrical contractors, and an electrical call is often an emergency: a dead panel, a burning smell, a breaker that will not reset. For those calls the receptionist follows your rules and transfers to the on-call electrician.
Landscaping is the largest group in Racine County at 90 companies, and about 320 searches a month name “landscaping racine”. Those callers are planning a project, not panicking, so the line should ask what the work is, when they want it and where, then book the estimate.

Set up for you
Getting a Racine phone line live
Every rule gets your sign-off before a real caller hears the line.
Sort the calls by urgency
The calls you take get sorted into emergencies, bookings and questions, and each group gets the answer you want it to hear.
Teach it your business
Services, hours, the area you cover and the answers to the questions you hear every week go into the knowledge base, in your own words.
Test the connections
Before go-live we confirm your calendar or CRM can take the booking and test the transfer numbers, so nothing breaks on the first real call.
Read the calls that went sideways
Recordings and transcripts are shared with you, and the calls that went badly become the next set of rule changes.

Proof
The phones this AI already answers
The callout beside the screenshot covers a plumbing company’s custom AI phone system, which sorts urgent calls, texts the on-call tech and books the rest. The screenshot is Smart Doors LLC, a garage door company that had Lithium build its website and later added the receptionist to its phones.

What the AI receptionist costs a Racine business
$179
per month, fully managed
No contract and no setup fee, so you can cancel anytime. The voice, knowledge base, call rules and calendar and CRM hooks are all set up by Lithium. Custom AI automation is scoped after a free discovery call.
Does an AI receptionist replace our staff?
It takes the calls that would go to voicemail, and it passes a caller to your team whenever the rules say so. Your people keep the conversations that need a person; the line catches the rest.
What does the AI receptionist cost?
It is $179 a month, fully managed, with no contract and no setup fee. Custom automation is a separate project, scoped after a free discovery call, and that work is priced on its own.
Can it book into the calendar or CRM we already use?
We check before you count on it. Lithium tests the calendar or CRM you run today and tells you what will sync, so the setup matches the software you have.
What can custom automation handle beyond the phone?
It picks up where the receptionist stops. A custom build can send the quote follow-up, ask for the review after the job, write the call notes back to your CRM, or file a signed document to the right folder. Each build is scoped on a discovery call and usually takes one to two weeks.
How do we hear it before we buy?
Call the demo line and talk to it. The number in the contact section is a live AI receptionist, and your business can run the same setup once the rules and the knowledge base are yours.
Free action plan
Try the demo line, then plan your own
The demo line in the contact section is a live receptionist, so try it. Afterwards, a co-founder will go through the calls you miss and the ones that need a person, on a short video call.
