A site built to convert
Fast on a phone, easy to call from, and landing pages built for each service and each campaign.
Fortavo Local · For service and local businesses
We help local businesses grow, and we do the work.
For businesses that win customers on the phone: home services, professional firms, real estate and local shops. Our team builds and runs your website, ads and phones with you, Colin, our AI receptionist, answers every call, and we show you exactly what each dollar turned into.
What's in the engine
Four pieces. One system.
Most agencies sell these separately and still don't answer your phones. We connect them, so every lead is caught and every dollar is traceable.
Google and Meta, managed
Campaigns built around the jobs you actually want. No percentage of your ad spend, ever.
Every call answered
Colin, our AI receptionist, picks up 24/7, answers questions, gently sells, books appointments and alerts you on hot leads.
From first click to paid job
Every call and form lands in one place and syncs to your CRM, with the ad that brought it in.
Want this working for your business? A 20-minute call shows you where leads are slipping.
More than an AI receptionist
Colin is an AI employee, not a phone bot.
He answers, sells, books and follows up. And every call shows you what your marketing is really doing.
He sells, gently.
Most callers are ready to buy. Colin answers price questions value first, suggests the right service and asks for the booking, like your best front-desk person on a good day.
Books the job, not just a message.
A message means calling back someone who's already hired somebody else. Colin books real appointments on your calendar, by your rules: a service call, a haircut, a table, a tour.
Knows which ad made the phone ring.
Most owners can't tell which ads bring calls. Every call is tied to the ad, page or search that brought it, so you put your money where it works.
Nothing slips through the cracks.
When a caller needs a person, Colin transfers them with the details or books a callback for the time they pick. Your team gets a summary in seconds and a follow-up task for every call.
You see every call.
A dashboard of every call, what callers wanted, and the hours your phones would have gone unanswered without him.
Built and tuned by people.
Our team writes Colin's playbook around your business and tunes him from real calls. He runs on top-tier AI, takes several calls at once, and can speak a second language.
Booking, transfers and hot-lead alerts come with Colin Front Desk, Fortavo Front Office and Spaces Operations.

Questions
What owners ask us.
Do I have to buy everything?
No. If your website already works, keep it. Many owners start with Colin, or with ads plus Colin, and add pieces later.
Is this an agency?
No. Fortavo is a growth engine built and run by a real team: your website, ads and front desk on one connected system, with reporting that ties every dollar to a customer.
Who pays for the ads?
You pay Google and Meta directly for ad spend. We manage the campaigns for a flat monthly fee per platform.
Does it work with my CRM?
Calls, forms and leads sync to HubSpot. If you use something else, tell us on the call.
Is there a long contract?
There's a six-month launch period while we build and tune everything. After that it's month to month.
