Setting Up Your AI Front Office
Getting started takes about 24 hours from sign-up to live. Here's what to expect.
Step 1: Sign Up
Choose your plan at ezbizservices.com and complete checkout. You'll receive a confirmation email immediately.
Step 2: Onboarding Call
We'll schedule a 30-minute onboarding call to gather your business details:
- Business name and hours — when should the AI answer vs. send to voicemail?
- Services offered — what questions do customers commonly ask?
- Appointment types — what can be booked, and how long is each slot?
- Calendar integration — which calendar system do you use?
- Custom greetings — how should the AI introduce itself?
Step 3: Number Setup
You'll get a dedicated business phone number, or we can configure call forwarding from your existing number.
Options:
- New number — we provision a local number for your area
- Forward existing — set up forwarding from your current number to the AI
- Port number — transfer your existing number to our system
Step 4: Testing
Before going live, we run test calls to make sure everything works:
- AI answers correctly
- Appointments book to your calendar
- Notifications reach you
- After-hours handling works
- Missed call texts send properly
Step 5: Go Live
Once testing passes, your AI receptionist is live. You'll get access to your dashboard where you can monitor everything.
What You'll Need
- A business email address
- Your business hours
- A list of services you offer (with approximate durations)
- Calendar access (Google Calendar, Outlook, or similar)
- Your Google Business Profile link (for review requests)
