The AI Operating System for Local Business

Be found. Be contacted. Be in control.

Stellaris Ridge builds and runs an AI operating system for your shop — three layers that get you named in AI search, capture every call and message, and run the whole front desk from one screen.

A local partner with a real presence in your area — not a faceless out-of-state agency. (205) 831-8876


01The AI Trinity

One foundation. Three layers.

Not three apps you have to juggle. A funnel: you can’t be contacted if you weren’t found, and you can’t control what you didn’t capture. Each layer unlocks the next — and all three stand on one foundation, built to order below.

Visibility
UNIT 01 — BE FOUND
Be named in AI search.
  • When homeowners ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google AI for the best trade in town, we make sure it says your name.
  • Local SEO, Google Business Profile, schema, and llms.txt tuned for AI discovery.
  • Content + social engine that makes you the cite-able answer.
  • Monthly AI Visibility Score — we prove it’s working.
Explore Visibility
Communication
UNIT 02 — BE CONTACTED
Every call and message, captured.
  • VOX voice agents answer every call 24/7 and book it straight to your calendar.
  • Relay messaging agents work web chat, SMS, email, FB & IG DMs — replied to in seconds.
  • Missed-call text-back recovers the ones that slipped.
  • Follows up until they book or say no.
Explore Communication
Command
UNIT 03 — BOOKS REVENUE
Shows you everything.
  • Every contact, job, and dollar in one place.
  • Pipeline, automated follow-up, review requests, estimates and invoices.
  • A dashboard that shows you exactly what the AI did — and what it booked.
Explore Command
Built to Order
FOUNDATION — CUSTOM AUTOMATION
The slab the three layers stand on. We automate the work that eats your week.
  • The layers above ship with packaged automations — invoice chasing, QuickBooks sync, follow-ups. Built to Order covers the work no package touches.
  • Custom, scoped, one-time builds — when the job you hate isn’t on anyone’s menu, we wire it to run itself and make your systems talk to each other.
  • Scoped and quoted up front — a one-time build, not another subscription.
  • Built once. Yours to keep.

02The Operating Layer

A layer between your business and the chaos.

A1

You still run the business. The Trinity runs the front desk.

A2

Every action is visible — every call, message, and booking is logged where you can see it.

A3

Big decisions escalate to you. The AI books the routine; you approve the exceptions.

A4

It learns your business from real conversations — your services, your prices, your schedule.

This is not a chatbot bolted to your website. It's the system underneath all of it.


03Under the Hood

Thirty modules. One machine.

The Trinity is the framing. Underneath sit the working parts — every one built, wired together, and maintained by us. Turn on what you need; grow into the rest.

Layer 01 · Be Found

If AI doesn’t name you, you don’t get the call.

Search stopped being a list of links. Half of it is local, and the fastest-growing half is answered by AI engines that cite a handful of trusted names. We put you on both lists — and keep you there.

04By the Numbers

This is the math of every shop like yours.

Not predictions. Not marketing claims. Industry data on what's actually happening to leads in home services right now — and why the OS exists.

62%
of calls to local shops go unanswered.
85%
of voicemail callers never call back.
78%
go with the first business that answers.
4s
how fast the OS picks up every call.
SECTOR BENCHMARK — HOME SERVICES SOURCES: 411 LOCALS · HBR · LEAD RESPONSE MGMT FINDINGS: 06
0162%of calls to local businesses go unanswered. The phone rings while you're under a sink, on a roof, or in a crawlspace. Most of those callers move on to the next name on the list.
0285%of callers who reach voicemail never call back. Voicemail is a graveyard. They don't leave a message. They call the next guy.
0378%go with the first business that answers. Speed-to-lead is the only metric that matters. Whoever picks up first wins the job.
0447 hrsaverage response time to a new lead. And only 23% of businesses answer within 5 minutes. The bar is on the floor — the OS clears it by 4 seconds.
051 in 3homeowners under 45 ask AI first. ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI — that's where the next generation of customers starts the search. If AI doesn't name you, you're invisible.
0673% vs 31%AI-referred leads convert at 73% vs 31% organic. When AI names you, the lead arrives pre-sold. That's the moat.

Sources: 411 Locals (2024); Harvard Business Review / Lead Response Management Study; AI search referral benchmarks (2025–2026).

Every one of these numbers is a job you lost last month — and never knew about. The OS closes every gap.


05How It Works

We build it. It runs. You see more jobs on your calendar.

STEP 01

Find the leak

Free consultation and audit. We find exactly where your leads are slipping — missed calls, dead chats, follow-up gaps.

STEP 02

Tailor the Trinity

We build it around how you already work. Your services, your prices, your calendar. You don't learn new software.

STEP 03

Watch it book

Calls answered, messages handled, jobs booked. You watch it happen from one dashboard.

FIG.02 — HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS Every conversation, wherever it starts, ends up on your calendar.

06The Math

What this replaces — and what it actually costs.

Most owners are piecing together an answering service, a CRM they never open, and an after-hours voicemail box. Here's what that setup is actually costing them.

COST ANALYSIS — HOME SERVICES BASIS: 100 LEADS / MONTH REGION: SOUTHEAST US
01Doing nothingThe status quo. 62% of calls unanswered. 85% of those callers never call back. Facebook messages pile up. You're losing 30–50 leads a month and don't know it. Cost: $8,000–$15,000/mo in missed revenue.
02Answering serviceThe old fix. $1.50–$3.00 per call. They take a message. They don't book. They don't follow up. They don't text back. They don't know your prices or your calendar. Cost: $400–$900/mo + the leads still leak.
03DIY (your phone)The default. You answer when you can. You return calls at 9 PM. You forget to follow up. Your wife checks the Facebook messages. Cost: your evenings, your weekends, and the 78% of leads that book with whoever answers first.
04AI OS (Full)The replacement. Every call answered in 2 seconds. Every message replied to in seconds. Follows up until they book. Tracks every dollar. One screen. Cost: from $499/mo · recovers $4,000–$12,000/mo.

The OS pays for itself with one recovered furnace install. Everything after that is profit. Layer pricing lives on Visibility, Communication, and Command.


07Questions

Questions owners actually ask.

They're calling to book a job — and that's exactly what VOX does. Most never notice. The ones who do don't care, because they got a real answer at 9 PM instead of a voicemail.
Command works with what you've got where it makes sense, and replaces what's costing you. We map how you run today before we change a thing.
No. Month to month. The system has to keep earning its place — that's on us.
Most clients are live in about a week. You hand us your services, prices, and calendar; we wire the rest together.
No. It's trained on your business — your services, your prices, your area — and it talks like it. You pick the voice.
Depends on which of the three you turn on. The free audit shows you what you're losing first, so the price has something real to sit against.

Two people, not a department

Why we built this.

I'm Jarod. I run Stellaris Ridge out of Tuscaloosa, and my dad, Carl, builds the systems with me from up in Wisconsin. He spent twenty years in Microsoft infrastructure — so we know what enterprise-grade AI actually costs to build, and what it can do when it's pointed at the right problem.

We built it for owner-operated shops — the plumbers who can't answer the phone while they're under a sink, the HVAC crews whose after-hours voicemail is a graveyard of lost jobs, the electricians who are great with wires and terrible with Facebook messages.

You handle the work. We handle the AI. When you win, we win. That's the whole deal. Call me directly — (205) 831-8876 — and I'll pick up.
