Reno AI reception handles the call while you handle the job
Lithium Marketing supplies managed AI reception and custom automation to Reno service businesses that need help with calls and administrative tasks. “Garage door repair reno” clicks average $22.51. When a paid visitor phones you, a receptionist can collect the request while your hands are full.
The AI receptionist answers 24/7, qualifies callers, answers questions and can transfer a call to a person. We manage its setup around your services and call rules. Custom automation is a separate project for work such as follow-up tasks or moving information between systems, scoped after a free discovery call.
After the customer chooses to call
Paid traffic needs someone ready to answer
The phrase “garage door repair reno” attracts about 480 monthly searches. If a caller asks for help while the team is on another job, the receptionist can ask what happened and record the details. You decide which situations call for a transfer to a real person.
The keyword “electrician reno” carries an average click cost of $12.67. A call may concern a planned installation or a problem the customer cannot describe technically. We prepare plain questions about the request, so the caller can explain the need without being expected to diagnose it.

Give your team enough context
Ask who is calling about the Reno property
Owner-occupied homes represent 49.8% of occupied housing in Reno. If tenants or property managers call your business, the receptionist can ask their role and collect the contact information needed for follow-up. Your team can then confirm authorization before committing to work.
The Truckee Meadows valley contains downtown Reno and downtown Sparks. We set up phone answers with the cities you cover and ask for the job location. A regional description should not leave your team guessing which property the caller means.

A script for your own services
Qualify an estimate without quoting an unseen job
Washoe County has 97 painting contractor establishments. For a painter, the phone questions can establish the rooms or exterior work being considered and the customer's preferred timing. The receptionist prepares the estimate conversation; your team determines the scope and price.
Pest control businesses number 32 in Washoe County. If your company handles only certain treatments, we include those details in its answers and ask callers to describe what they have seen. Questions that require specialist judgment stay with your team.

Put your knowledge into the phone
Prepare the answers before Reno customers call
You bring the service knowledge; Lithium turns it into a managed receptionist setup.
Describe the calls you want help with
We discuss common questions, estimate requests and situations that need a person. Your instructions define what the receptionist should say and collect.
Write the business's answers
We prepare its knowledge base from your information and select a natural AI voice with you. Services, hours and coverage stay consistent with what customers hear from your team.
Verify booking and transfer connections
We confirm calendar and CRM compatibility before including those connections in the setup. Transfer settings use the contacts you choose and are tested before taking customer calls.
Check conversations and refine the script
Recordings and transcripts let you review how calls were handled. We can correct an answer or question, while any custom automation work receives its own scope.
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
- Qualifies the lead
- Books the appointment
- Answers common questions
- Sends follow-up texts
- Captures every detail
- Transfers to a real person when needed
- Connects to your CRM and calendar
Reception and a custom phone project
Service businesses using Lithium's phone systems
Lithium built the Smart Doors LLC website before adding AI reception to the garage door company's phones. A separate custom system for a plumbing company sorts calls by urgency, sends the on-call technician an SMS and books non-emergency jobs. The task you need handled determines which kind of setup we propose.

FAQ
Choosing reception and deciding what to automate
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What does the monthly AI receptionist price cover?
The AI receptionist is fully managed at $179 a month with no setup fee. It answers calls, uses your business information, qualifies requests and can send follow-up texts or transfer callers. We confirm booking connections before setup. Custom automation beyond reception is quoted separately after discussing the task.
Can we cancel the receptionist without an ongoing contract?
There’s no contract for the AI receptionist, and you can cancel anytime. You can evaluate how it handles the calls your business receives without committing to the usual marketing service term. A custom automation build has its own proposal and scope.
How can I hear the AI before buying it?
Call the demo line to speak with Lithium's AI receptionist. Ask questions and listen to how the conversation works, then bring the questions your own customers ask to the setup discussion. We use your business information to prepare your receptionist's answers.
Can my customers still speak with someone on our team?
The receptionist can transfer callers to a real person under the call rules you choose. We identify those situations during setup and test the transfer settings. Call recordings and transcripts also help your team understand the request when following up with a customer.
What should I bring to an AI automation discovery call?
Bring a repetitive task and show how you do it today, including the software involved. Copying call details into a CRM, sending follow-up messages or processing documents can be starting points. We check the systems before proposing a connection, then quote the custom project separately from the receptionist.
Free action plan
Hear the receptionist and plan your Reno call handling
Start by calling the demo line and trying the questions your customers ask. For a free setup plan, describe a typical day's calls during a short video call with a co-founder, including when a person needs to take over.
