AI Receptionist
UK-wide
Delivery from Newcastle upon Tyne
Manchester customers compare you before they call. They check your website, reviews, prices, service areas and response time. If your site looks dated, hides what you do or sends people to a vague contact form, the work may go to somebody else before you know they were looking.
You need more than a set of attractive pages. You need a website that supports your sales, answers common questions, captures useful job details and keeps working after launch. We deliver that remotely from Newcastle upon Tyne, for businesses across Manchester and Greater Manchester, with published prices from £1,295.
The problem
Customers compare your business with polished competitors across Manchester. An old layout, weak mobile pages or missing service details can make good work look less dependable than it is.
Replace the dated site with clear service pages
A vague message leaves you chasing postcodes, budgets, dates and job photos. That slows quoting and makes it harder to spot poor-fit work before wasting time on it.
Build quote forms around your real jobs
You cannot answer every call from a van, clinic room, shop floor or customer meeting. By the time you call back, the customer may have booked somebody else.

Start with no upfront costQuote request
Two minutes of questions and we will send back a real number, not a range. Website packages start at £1,295, ecommerce from £2,495, and there is a no upfront option at £199 a month.
The result
Your forms ask for the details needed to price work. You spend less time chasing basics and more time deciding which Manchester enquiries deserve a quick response.
Your services, areas, opening times and contact details make sense across the website and Google Business Profile. Nearby customers can understand your offer before they call.
Calls receive an answer when you are busy. The AI receptionist sends the caller's details to you, so urgent work and valuable enquiries do not vanish into voicemail.
01
Your website should do more than prove you exist. It should explain your service, show suitable proof, collect the details needed for a quote and point people towards the right next step. We build that centre point around how your business actually works, whether you run a trade firm, clinic, consultancy, shop or growing service company.
We are based in Newcastle upon Tyne, not Manchester. Everything is delivered by video call and email, so you deal with the same person throughout. There is no travel cost built into the price. That remote model helps keep our Manchester website design prices clear and competitive.
02
People search by service and place across Manchester. They may look for an electrician in Didsbury, a solicitor in Salford, a kitchen company in Stockport or a commercial cleaner near Trafford Park. We make your website and Google Business Profile clearly explain where you work and what you provide.
Local search means helping your business appear in those nearby searches. We improve your service pages, business details, location signals and useful content. We also keep your Google Business Profile active, so potential customers see accurate hours, services, photos, posts and contact details.
More detail
Open the parts you care about. Everything here is on the page, just tidied away.
A contact form asking for only a name and message creates extra work. You have to chase the basics before deciding whether the job fits. We build quote forms around your service, so the first enquiry includes useful information and reaches you in a clear format.
A roofer may need the property postcode, roof type and photos. A commercial photographer may need the date, venue and usage. A software firm may need the team size, current tools and main problem. The form changes to suit your sales process, while call tracking connects enquiries to the marketing that produced them.
A strong review often settles the decision between two similar businesses. This matters in a busy city where customers can compare several firms in minutes. We help you ask at the right point after completed work, then make your best feedback easy for future customers to find.
The system can prompt a customer after a job, guide them to the right review page and display selected feedback on your website. We do not invent reviews or write claims for customers. We make the process consistent, so good work does not disappear without leaving useful proof.
A missed call can be a lost boiler repair, treatment booking, wedding enquiry or commercial contract. Our AI Receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, even when you are driving, serving a customer or working on site. It gives callers a helpful first response instead of a dead end.
It takes the job details, sorts urgent calls from routine ones and texts you immediately. The standalone price is £169 a month. Website Care plus the AI Receptionist costs £199 a month, giving you the website support and call cover together.
Google Ads can put your service in front of people ready to buy. It can also waste money when the campaign sends visitors to a weak page or counts every click as success. We manage the advert, landing page, enquiry tracking and reporting together.
Google Ads Management costs £449 a month. Your advertising budget is paid directly to Google and is never marked up. We show which clicks became calls, forms or real jobs, so you can judge the campaign on useful work rather than traffic alone.
A new website needs useful updates to keep earning attention. Our SEO and Content service, meaning regular work that helps Google and customers understand your business, costs £249 a month. It includes two optimised pages or articles, local search work, Google Business Profile posts and rank tracking.
You can add regular social posts or a clear weekly plan when you need more help. Automated Social Media costs £99 a month for Facebook and Instagram. The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month and turns your priorities into weekly tasks.
Essentials costs £1,295 and gives you a credible presence that turns visitors into enquiries. Complete costs £1,995 for businesses losing work to missed calls. Growth costs £2,495 for businesses ready to buy leads through Google. Ecommerce, direct booking and appointment options cover more specific selling and booking needs.
Website Care is required for every client at £59 a month. It includes hosting, security, daily backups, software updates, uptime checks, support and up to 30 minutes of content changes each month. If you want to start without the upfront build cost, the no upfront option is £199 a month for 24 months, with no setup fee.
The honest comparison
It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.
If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.
Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.
A £199 builder site
Fine for a basic presence. Not built to win work.
A Look North website
Built so search traffic becomes booked jobs.
Who writes the words
A £199 builder site
You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.
A Look North website
We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.
Whether it shows up on Google
A £199 builder site
It will rank for your business name. Not much else.
A Look North website
A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.
What happens to an enquiry
A £199 builder site
A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.
A Look North website
Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.
When the phone rings and you are on a job
A £199 builder site
It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.
A Look North website
Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.
Knowing what is working
A £199 builder site
A visitor counter, if that.
A Look North website
Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.
Getting reviews
A £199 builder site
You remember to ask, sometimes.
A Look North website
Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.
What happens after launch
A £199 builder site
Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.
A Look North website
The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.
Who owns it
A £199 builder site
The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.
A Look North website
You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.
Speed on a phone
A £199 builder site
Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.
A Look North website
Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.
When something breaks
A £199 builder site
A help centre article and a support queue.
A Look North website
Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.
If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.
What the difference buys
Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.
A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.
One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.
Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.
A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.
Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.
Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.
The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.
Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.
If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.
