The St. George market
The metro is your service area
St. George sits in a metro of 213,670 people, and 66.7% of occupied homes in the city are owner-occupied. A caller can be outside the city line and still inside your service area, so the receptionist's knowledge base should carry the towns you cover.
A phone line is often the first contact a trade has with a customer, and the questions differ by job. If your work needs an owner's approval, the receptionist can ask who owns the property before it books a visit.

Set up for your business
How the St. George phone line gets built
Every rule gets your sign-off before a live caller hears it.
Sort the calls by what they need
You and your team list the calls that must reach a person, the ones that can be booked and the ones that only need an answer.
Teach it your services and hours
Your service list, the towns you cover, your hours and the questions customers repeat go in, written the way your team answers them. You pick the voice.
Wire the booking and the handoff
Bookings can land in the calendar or CRM your team uses, and the calls you flag for a person ring the number your team answers.
Listen back and correct
We go through call recordings with you, and when an answer is wrong, the knowledge base gets fixed before it costs another call.
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

Proof
Two trades, two phone projects
One project is a custom AI phone system Lithium built for a plumbing company: after-hours emergency calls had been reaching voicemail, and the system now sorts urgency, texts the on-call tech and books the routine jobs. The other is Smart Doors LLC, a garage door company that took a new website from Lithium and later put Lithium's AI receptionist on its phones.

FAQ
What St. George owners ask about the receptionist
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What does the AI receptionist cost?
It is $179 a month, fully managed, with no contract and no setup fee, and it can transfer a call to a real person. Callers get answers 24/7, and the receptionist books jobs into your calendar and sends follow-up texts.
What happens when someone asks for a person?
The receptionist transfers the call to the number you pick. You set which requests go straight to a person, such as an emergency or a customer with an open job, and the rest are answered, qualified and booked under your rules.
When can the receptionist take calls?
Days, not months. The build starts with your services and call rules, moves to the voice and knowledge base, and ends with a test call you make yourself before any customer reaches the line.
Does it work for a plumber and a landscaper?
The rules are yours, so the questions change with the trade. A plumber's line can ask about the leak, the property and access, while a landscaper's line can ask about the yard, the visit frequency and the estimate. Each service gets its own answers and its own transfer rules.
What does custom automation cover?
A custom build can link the tools you already use. It can update a CRM record, send a text after a visit, ask a happy customer for a review, read a document, or pass data between a calendar and a spreadsheet. The scope and price are set after a free discovery call, and a build usually takes one to two weeks. It is separate from the receptionist.
