An AI Receptionist That Answers Every Call Your Business Misses
Most Missouri small businesses miss more calls than they know - on job sites, after hours, and whenever the office line rings twice at once. ABCD Marketing sets up AI receptionists that answer, qualify, and book those calls for you, connected to your calendar and CRM, and tuned by a local team that grades the calls.
Done for you, not handed to you
We design the conversation around your services and prices, connect your phone lines, calendar, and CRM, and test with real scenarios before a single customer hears it. Then we grade actual calls and keep tuning. You never open a dashboard unless you want to.
Honest pricing, matched to your call pattern
AI receptionists in 2026 are priced per minute, per call, or flat monthly, and the right model depends on how your phones ring. On your strategy call we will look at your call volume, recommend the model that fits, and quote the full picture - setup included - before you commit to anything.
Built on a proven AI engine
Our receptionists run on the same AI engine as our flagship telephone sales bots: realtime speech-to-text, natural turn-taking so the agent never talks over a caller, and per-caller memory. It is the technology we operate every day, not a white-label app with our logo on it.
Common questions
How fast can an AI receptionist go live?
A standard setup - one business, one main line, calendar booking - typically launches in about one to two weeks, including conversation design and testing. Multi-location and CRM-heavy setups take a little longer, and we will give you a straight date on your call.
What happens when the AI cannot answer something?
It does what a good receptionist does: takes a message, offers a callback, or transfers to your team based on rules you set. Nothing gets improvised with a customer, and every call is logged and transcribed for you.
Will it work with my existing phone number?
Yes. We connect to your existing numbers and systems. Your customers dial the same number they always have; they just always reach someone helpful now.
Which areas do you serve?
We are based in Wentzville and serve businesses across Missouri - our home counties are St. Charles, St. Louis, Lincoln, Jefferson, and Warren - and AI receptionist setups work for clients anywhere.
