Questions we get asked
Straight answers.No sales talk.
What business owners ask us most about call answering, WhatsApp, websites and reviews.
What is an AI receptionist, and how does it work?
- An AI receptionist is a virtual receptionist that answers your business phone for you. It picks up every call, day or night, answers common questions, takes the caller’s details and books appointments, then sends you a text so you know what came in.
Will my callers know they’re speaking to an AI?
- Yes, and they should. We set it up to say briefly that the caller is speaking to your assistant and that the call may be recorded. It speaks naturally and politely, and anything it can’t handle is passed to you as a message.
Can I keep my existing business phone number?
- Yes. You keep your number. Calls you can’t answer are forwarded to the AI receptionist, so customers ring the same number they always have.
Is an AI receptionist cheaper than a telephone answering service or a receptionist?
- Usually, yes. A full-time receptionist in the UK typically costs around £2,000 to £2,500 a month once National Insurance and pension are included. An AI receptionist costs a fraction of that and never takes a day off. We’ll give you an exact price in your quote.
Is it UK GDPR compliant?
- We set everything up with UK GDPR in mind. Callers are told the call may be recorded, we only collect the details needed to help them, and we agree with you how long information is kept and how requests to delete it are handled.
Can it book appointments straight into my diary?
- Yes. Bookings are added to your diary automatically and you get a text straight away. There’s nothing to write down or chase later.
Can you automate WhatsApp messages for my business?
- Yes. We connect your number to the WhatsApp Business API so customers get instant auto replies, can book or ask questions at any hour, and receive appointment reminders automatically. Many of your customers already prefer WhatsApp to calling.
Can you set up an online booking system?
- Yes. Customers can book online, by WhatsApp or through your AI receptionist, and every booking lands in the same diary. Automatic reminders go out before each appointment, which cuts no-shows.
Why isn’t my website getting enquiries?
- It’s usually one of three things: it loads slowly on a phone, people can’t find you on Google, or it isn’t clear what to do next. Our free website audit checks all three and tells you, in plain English, what to fix first.
Do I need a new website, or can you fix the one I have?
- Often you don’t need a new one. Many websites only need to load faster, explain things more clearly and make it easier to call or book. If a rebuild really is the better option, we’ll tell you why.
Why is my business not showing on Google Maps?
- Usually your Google Business Profile is missing, unverified or incomplete, you have fewer reviews than nearby competitors, or your website doesn’t back up what the profile says. We check all of this in your free check and fix it, so local customers find you first.
How can I get more Google reviews for my business?
- Ask at the right moment and make it quick. A QR code at your front desk lets happy customers leave a Google review in two taps, and anyone unhappy can tell you privately so you can put it right first.
How much does it cost to work with ShiftDeploy?
- It depends on what fixes your problem, so every project starts with a free check. You then get a clear, fixed quote before any work begins. Review Your Doctor, our review software for clinics, starts from £49 a month.
How long does it take?
- Simpler fixes, like call answering or WhatsApp replies, can often be live within days. A new website or app takes longer. You’ll get a clear timeline with your quote, before anything starts.
Do you work with businesses across the UK?
- Yes. We work remotely with service businesses across the UK, from trades and clinics to salons and local firms, so it doesn’t matter where you’re based.
What happens after the free check?
- We send you a plain-English summary of where you’re losing customers and the simplest way to fix it. There’s no obligation, and if we can’t help, we’ll say so.
