Office: Cover Missed Calls and Follow-Ups in Chorley
A Chorley customer may need an answer before you have a free moment, but they should not feel trapped in a bot. I set up simple call, chat and follow-up tools that handle the routine part, explain the next step and hand judgement back to you.
Website chat £299 + from £49/mo · phone from £149/mo · smaller setups from £199 · usage costs agreed first

AI & automation for Chorley businesses
Chorley’s town-centre independents, cafés, trades and professional firms all rely on personal service. Automation works best here when it supports that service—collecting context and buying you time—rather than pretending a machine can replace it.
What I set up for Chorley businesses
Website chat that knows the basics
Answers approved questions about hours, service areas, appointments and next availability, collects useful details and hands anything unusual to you instead of guessing.
Phone cover when you cannot pick up
Covers forwarded calls while the shop is busy, you are on a job or the office is closed, using the greeting, questions and handover rules we agree together.
Missed-call text-back and lead capture
Sends a prompt, friendly reply and brings captured phone, website and social enquiries into one place for follow-up.
Fair review requests
Sends every eligible customer the same polite request and direct review link. It saves the admin without filtering people by whether their feedback is positive.
Booking and follow-up reminders
Handles agreed confirmations and reminders for appointments, estimates and customer callbacks, while keeping judgement calls and exceptions with your team.
A custom setup around your tools
If an off-the-shelf option is not right, I can connect the website, inbox, diary or CRM you already use without rebuilding everything.
Why deal directly with the person building it?
Clear about where I am
I am based in Preston and cover Chorley from nearby. You deal with me directly, whether we plan the work remotely or arrange a local meeting when needed.
You deal directly with Sam
There is no account-management layer. I scope the work, build it, test it with you and remain the person to contact if it needs changing.
A defined job and an agreed price
You see what the setup will do, where it hands over to a person and what it costs—including third-party usage—before work starts.

How could AI help a Chorley business?
For shops, cafés, trades and professional firms, the useful jobs are usually straightforward: respond when nobody can reach the phone, answer repeat questions, collect the right enquiry details and remember appointments, estimates and customer callbacks. I start with one bottleneck and only recommend AI where it improves that process.
Does the AI replace my staff or make decisions for me?
No. It handles the narrow tasks and approved answers we agree. Prices, professional advice, complaints, unusual requests and anything sensitive can be handed to a person.
How much do your AI services in Chorley cost?
Website chat starts from £299 setup plus from £49/month, phone answering from £149/month and smaller automation setups from £199. I confirm the exact scope and any phone, message or software usage costs before you decide.
Can you work with my existing website and phone number?
Usually, yes. I first check what you already use and connect to it where that is reliable. If something needs replacing, I explain why and price that separately rather than hiding it in the job.
What happens after I get in touch?
We have a free, no-pressure chat about the problem. If there is a sensible fit, I send a clear scope, price and running costs. Nothing is installed or switched on until you are happy with it.
What keeps getting missed in your Chorley business?
Tell me about the calls, messages or admin getting in the way. I'll say honestly whether AI fits and explain the full cost before you decide. Or ring 01772 485 348. See all AI services.
