    Receptionist
    This call will be recorded for quality and training purposes. Thank you for calling the Backyard Bougie family of companies. My name is Samantha. Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?
    Caller
    Yes, hi. My name is Mike.
    Receptionist
    Hi, Mike. Nice to meet you. Are you looking for marketing support, or custom apparel and printing?
    Caller
    I'm actually looking for marketing support for my small business.
    Receptionist
    Got it, marketing support. What's your business name, and can you tell me a little about what you do?
    Caller
    My business name is Mike's Plumbing Services. We're a plumber local to the Sacramento area, serving Sacramento and the broader metro market.
    Receptionist
    Perfect, thanks. Are you looking for ongoing marketing support, or more of a specific project — a website refresh, branding, or help with social media?
    Caller
    I'm kind of looking for all of it. I definitely want the ongoing support, but I know my website probably needs a little help too, because I built it myself.
    Receptionist
    Makes sense. What timeline are you working with to get started? Are you hoping to kick things off in the next couple of weeks, or more like next month?
    Caller
    The sooner the better, but I know it takes time. I'm open to whatever timeline is appropriate to get the project done successfully.
    Receptionist
    Got it. What's the best phone number and email for you, so our Bougie Marketing team can follow up and schedule a strategy call?
    Caller
    It's area code 916, 555-1212.
    Receptionist
    Thanks. I've got your number as 916-555-1212. And what's the best email for you?
    Caller
    It's going to be miketheplumber@gmail.com.
    Receptionist
    Got it — so that's miketheplumber@gmail.com, correct?
    Caller
    That is correct.
    Receptionist
    Perfect. And just to make sure — is your name best listed as Mike or Michael? Also, what's the main thing you want help with first: getting more leads, polishing the brand, or improving the website?
    Caller
    You can call me Mike, and I'm definitely looking to get more leads.
    Receptionist
    Awesome, Mike. I've got Mike's Plumbing Services in the Sacramento area, looking for ongoing marketing support starting as soon as possible, with a focus on generating more leads. And your contact info is 916-555-1212 and miketheplumber@gmail.com. We'll have someone from Bougie Marketing follow up shortly to schedule a strategy call and talk next steps. Thank you for calling Backyard Bougie — we appreciate you reaching out, and look forward to working side by side with you.
    Caller
    Thank you.
    Receptionist
    You're welcome, Mike.

Why It Matters

The cost of a missed call is higher than you think.

Industry research consistently puts the small-business missed-call rate between 30 and 60 percent (widely cited in BIA/Kelsey and FirstOrion studies) — and in our own pre-deployment call audits with clients, we see the same range. Most of those callers never call back. They call the next result on Google.

One captured booking a week pays for the whole system. Everything after that is upside.

FAQ

Before you book the demo.

Will it sound like a robot?

No. The voice agent is trained on your business, scripted in your voice, and uses natural language models that handle interruptions, clarifications, and accents. Most callers do not realize they are not talking to a person — unless we want them to.

What does it cost?

The AI tooling runs $97/mo per business (GoHighLevel AI add-on), bundled into our $127/mo platform fee on Momentum and Authority retainers. There is no separate "AI plan" — it is included in the partnership.

Is the SMS legal?

Yes. We register every business for A2P 10DLC carrier compliance and run TCPA-compliant opt-in flows. We will not send a single message that puts your business at risk.

Can I hear it before I commit?

Yes. Recorded calls are on this page — press play and hear the agent book an appointment, answer a question, and hand off to a human. For a version tuned to your business, book a demo and we will call you.
