Research we actually stand behind.
Pricing guides and buying research for small-business owners — every claim supportable, every comparison disclosed as ours, no fabricated statistics.
How our research works.
We sell what we write about — AI receptionists and websites — and we say so at the top of every research page. That is the disclosure, and it is also the point: our research comes from the systems we run and the bills we have actually seen, not from a content farm summarizing other content farms.
We never publish a statistic that did not come from a real dataset. When a number is a typical range rather than a measured fact, we label it as typical. When a comparison involves our own product, we name it as ours. If we do not know something, the page says so instead of filling the gap with confidence.
The long-term plan: we are building a real dataset. We are reviewing actual small-business websites across the Treasure Coast — speed, clarity, whether the phone number is findable, whether the contact form works — and we will publish the aggregate findings. Not anecdotes. Counts.
Current research.
How Much Does an AI Receptionist Cost for a Small Business?
Per-minute billing, monthly plans, setup fees, and what actually drives the bill. An honest breakdown of AI receptionist pricing — no fake competitor quotes.
How Much Should a Small-Business Website Cost?
DIY, freelancer, agency, custom, and the ongoing-maintenance question most pricing guides skip. A practical national guide with honest categories instead of one fake universal price.
Questions we actually get.
Do you publish independent reviews?
No — and we do not pretend to. We are not a review site. We sell AI receptionists and websites, and every research page says so. What we offer instead of independence is transparency: every comparison that involves our product is disclosed as ours, and every number is labeled for where it came from, so you can check our work instead of trusting it.
Where do your numbers come from?
From what we sell, what we have billed, what we have measured, and what is publicly documented. Typical ranges are labeled “typical.” We never publish a statistic that did not come from a real dataset — and when we are estimating, the page says so in plain words.
Why should I trust research from a company that sells the thing it writes about?
Read it the way you would read anything from a vendor: skeptically. Our answer is structural, not rhetorical — every claim is supportable, every comparison is disclosed, every statistic is sourced. If you catch us wrong on any page, tell us. We would rather fix the page than defend it.
How do I suggest a research topic?
Call (772) 280-4566 or use the assessment form and tell us what you are trying to decide. If it is a question small-business owners actually ask and we can answer it honestly, we will research it.
How often is the research updated?
When the underlying facts change. Pricing models, product capabilities, and platform rules move, so we revise pages when something material shifts — not on a schedule, and not to chase search traffic.
