Mission 03 · Automation

Speed-to-Lead

The average marketing agency takes 47 hours to respond to an inbound lead. The customer has already called three competitors.

Stellaris Ridge's Speed-to-Lead system responds in seconds — SMS, email, and AI voice handoff — and keeps the conversation going until the lead books or explicitly opts out. Closes the gap that kills most small businesses.

Answers

Questions we answer every day

These are the real questions Jarod gets asked on first calls. No fluff, no legal hedges — the honest version.

How much does AI phone answering cost?

VOX Full — website widget plus a dedicated AI phone line that books jobs into your calendar — is $1,500 setup and $299 per month. A single missed furnace install call is $3,000 to $8,000 in lost revenue. VOX pays for itself the first week it catches a job.

Will my customers know they're talking to an AI?

Most don't notice, and the ones who do don't care. What they want is to get their job booked. VOX books jobs. It pauses, handles interruptions, and hands off to a human for anything it can't confidently answer.

How is Stellaris Ridge different from a marketing agency?

Traditional agencies sell SEO packages and report vanity metrics. We build AI systems that answer your phone, capture leads, and book jobs. You don't pay for impressions — you pay for infrastructure that generates revenue.

What industries do you work with?

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, general contractors, dental and medical offices, salons and spas, auto services, professional services, and restaurants. Anywhere a local business lives or dies on inbound phone calls and has been burned by a marketing agency.

Where are you located?

Stellaris Ridge is based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Jarod handles in-person client work across Central Alabama and the Southeast. Carl builds the technology from Wisconsin. We serve clients remotely across the US.

Do I need to understand the tech?

No. You answer basic questions about your business during setup — hours, services, pricing, how you route emergencies. We configure the system. You see jobs on your calendar. If something needs changing, you call Jarod and it gets changed.

Your phone should be ringing right now.

If it is, VOX is answering it. If it isn't, we should talk about why. A free 20-minute consultation. No pitch deck.
