Questions about AI Chat:
How does the AI Chat Bot help me get more customers?
It engages visitors when they land on your site, answers their questions, and collects their contact info—turning passive visitors into real leads.
What if the AI Chat Bot doesn’t know an answer?
Our AI Chat Bot is designed to provide accurate, helpful responses by pulling from your website and learning from interactions. But if it ever encounters a question it can’t fully answer, it won’t guess or give incorrect information.
Instead, it will:
- Acknowledge the question and let the visitor know it’s a great one.
- Offer to connect them with a real person for a more detailed response.
- Collect their name and contact info so a specialist can follow up ASAP.
This ensures every inquiry is handled properly, whether by AI or a human expert, so no lead or customer gets left behind.
How does the AI Chat Bot integrate with my business tools?
It seamlessly connects with the Growth Advanced Customer Engage (ACE) platform, logging every conversation and lead for easy tracking and follow-up. With the ability to connect to SMS, you will be able to text any lead that provides their phone number through the interface as well.

Absolutely! Right out of the box, we train your AI Chat Bot using your website content, services, business hours, and frequently asked questions—so it’s already tailored to your business.
From there, you have full control to fine-tune its responses. Whether you want to adjust the tone, add industry-specific details, or include personalized messaging, the bot adapts to match your brand voice. Plus, as your business grows and changes, the AI continues learning—keeping your responses relevant and up to date.
What makes this different from a basic live chat feature?
Unlike traditional live chat, the AI Chat Bot is fully automated: meaning no staff needs to be online to respond. It works 24/7, ensuring no customer inquiry goes unanswered.
But it’s not just about availability, it’s also faster and more efficient than a human:
- Instant Responses: No wait times. Visitors get answers immediately, instead of waiting for an agent.
- Handles Multiple Conversations at Once: While a human can only chat with one or two people at a time, the AI Chat Bot can respond to dozens simultaneously without delay.
- More Thorough Answers: Pulls directly from your website and knowledge base to provide detailed, accurate responses instantly.
This means more leads captured, fewer drop-offs, and a smoother customer experience (without extra work on your end).
Questions about Local Service Ads:
What are Local Services Ads (LSAs)?
LSAs are a type of paid advertisement that allows local service providers to appear at the top of Google search results. They connect businesses with potential customers who are searching for services in their area.
How do Local Services Ads differ from traditional Google Ads?
LSAs are specifically designed for local service businesses and appear above traditional Google Ads and organic search results. They include key business information such as reviews, contact details, and a “Google Guaranteed” badge, which can build trust.
What are the benefits of using Local Services Ads?
Benefits include increased visibility in local search results, a higher likelihood of attracting local customers, pay-per-lead pricing (you only pay for valid leads), and the trust factor from the “Google Guaranteed” badge.

How does Review Generation work?
We help you proactively request reviews from satisfied customers, making it easier to increase your overall rating and credibility.

Google favors frequent engagement, so responding to reviews promptly and consistently keeps your business active and visible in local search rankings.

Yes, you can create and manage separate Google Business Profiles for each of your physical locations. This approach ensures that each location receives dedicated attention and visibility in local searches, increasing the likelihood of attracting nearby customers.
