Every agency you have talked to so far said “it depends.” Here is what we charge, in writing, before you speak to anybody. If your job is bigger than these numbers we will say so and quote it properly — but most of what a small business needs is below.
No setup fee. Month to month.
For work you already won. Starts the week after the receptionist.
Then $149/month to host, run and keep it current.
What you are actually paying for, and what is not in the number.

The honest list. None of it is hidden in a proposal later.
Because nobody else in this market does, and an owner who is deciding between four agencies should not have to sit through four discovery calls to find out which ones he can afford. We would rather be the first number he can actually compare.
No. Month to month, one month’s notice, no cancellation fee. If the receptionist does not earn its keep you should not be locked into it.
Most clients start with the receptionist and add the review engine in month two. Bundle the receptionist and the review engine and the pair is $399 a month rather than $448.
Multi-site operators, franchises and companies running several brands are a different quote, because the receptionist has to route between locations and brands. Bring the call volume and we will price it properly.
Fifteen minutes. Ask anything about the numbers above, including whether you need any of it.
