Speaker A
It says, "Call us," but there's no phone number at the top, no email. The only phone number I found was at the very bottom of the website. I mean, it literally looks like it was built in 2005.
Speaker A
However, it is ranking number one in the Google search results. Now, look, even if you build some of these other more fancy websites that I found on that first page, that's great and all. You will make a few thousand, absolutely, but
Speaker A
what you're going to miss out on is the monthly recurring revenue that you get.
Speaker A
Now, sure, you can charge website hosting. However, if your website is a 10 out of 10, it still will not compete with a 5 out of 10 talking website in terms of how much money you can charge for it every single month. And why, you
Speaker A
might ask? Well, it's because a talking website just makes the client more money. So, who do you think they're going to pay a higher monthly fee? Guess who that business owner is going to keep paying forever. And the best part is you
Speaker A
can set up a talking website one time and keep getting paid monthly. Now, before in the website space, we either had to find clients that didn't have a website and build them a brand new one, or we had to find people that had crappy
Speaker A
websites and offer to rebuild it to them. But now with this new talking website model, what you can do is either, if someone doesn't have a website, just build them a brand new one, charge anywhere from one to $6,000 upfront,
Speaker A
depending on how much time it takes you, or if they have an existing website, you could just take a simple piece of code, paste it on this exact website that they have, and now all of a sudden they're
Speaker A
making more money from it. I mean, look at this. Let me show you how our websites talk to visitors. You see this little popup here? This is not a chat widget. This does not open up some other kind of contact form, but literally when
Speaker A
you click it, it says, "Call us here." And it doesn't ring their cell phone. It doesn't require that person to pick up their phone and call this. It doesn't require the clients to pick up their phone. You can have a voice-based
Speaker A
conversation right here inside of the website. They don't have to download anything. They don't have to leave the website. They can literally be on different pages and scrolling through this while talking to the website. Now, I've already done a full 3-minute
Speaker A
conversation in my last video on how I went from asking questions to then booking an appointment live on this website, but this AI agent can now save people from leaving this website. Just imagine your customer is a plumber and
Speaker A
he is under a freaking sink or maybe he's out in the field and he's managing a crew. He can have this AI answering questions because what does a customer do if they're interested in some kind of service? They're going to take this
Speaker A
phone number and they're going to call that person. What if they don't pick up?
Speaker A
Or what if that person just calls outside the business hours? Like, what if they just call at 9:00 p.m. because they worked late that night? They still need help. So, they can have a live conversation right here. On a more
Speaker A
traditional website, they would call and maybe go to voicemail or get some kind of answering service, right? They leave a voicemail, but now they can get their appointment booked. So, they are way less likely to go back to Google and
Speaker A
look at other competitors and call them. And so, what does that mean for the client? They wake up in the morning, they come into the office, and they already have appointments booked on that calendar. On top of that, most websites
Speaker A
have this crazy long form right here. But what if the person doesn't even know exactly what they want? What if they don't want to give their street address right away? What if they just have some questions first? They have to sit and
Speaker A
scroll through all these different pages and maybe hope to find what it is that they're looking for, but now they can just ask a question. So, if you're a web designer, how are you going to get away with charging 2, 3, 4, $500
Speaker A
per month for simply hosting a website like this, a static website that does nothing when you could provide them something like this, which is a voice service? Now, they will gladly pay you $500 because they can see on the back
Speaker A
end how many appointments it's automatically booking for them. And most of these clients, if you get them an extra one freaking appointment every month, that service is well worth it because these guys, especially for concrete services, they make thousands
Speaker A
and thousands and thousands of dollars per client. So, by saving them that money, would you spend $500 to make an extra $4,000? Well, so would your clients. Now, look, there are tons of people that are paying thousands of
Speaker A
dollars per month on different marketing and advertising campaigns with other companies. This is a tool that I like using. It's called Ads Transparency Center. And what you can do is I found this guy, this website right here that
Speaker A
is running ads on Google. So, I just took their domain. I put it in here. And then I hit search. And this shows me all of their ads that they're running on Google. Now, their budget is probably $2
Speaker A
or $3,000 per month, if not more, because this is quite a few ads, and they have a lot of different variations.
Speaker A
And when you go to their website, it's just not amazing. All they have is a freaking phone number. And if you scroll down, they don't even have more content.
Speaker A
They don't describe what it is that they do. They don't have headlines that describe their different services. They don't have testimonials. And all in all, these pictures aren't even relevant to what it is that I'm looking for. If I'm
Speaker A
looking to just get some concrete on my driveway, why would I want to see this factory? Why would I want to see this giant machine that has nothing to do with my house? But if they had that little button on the bottom right-hand
Speaker A
side that allows a user to start a conversation, they can just simply ask that question. So now they're spending thousands of dollars, but by paying you an additional $500, they can now double their lead flow. Even if they get an
Speaker A
extra 10% of leads, right? Maybe they're getting 40 people that reach out to them every single month. If you can get them 41, 42, 45 people from that 40, they are happy to pay that because they're already investing in their business. So,
Speaker A
now you are maximizing what they're already doing. And here's another tool. This is called a Facebook Ads Library.
Speaker A
And what you can do is type in your niche or your service that you want to go after like I did. Scroll down and look at all these people that are running ads. And what you can do is just
Speaker A
start clicking on these guys' websites and see what is it that they offer, right? Do they have this talking website installed? And the answer is no. Because most people still have no idea what this is, but in 2026, this is the new way to
Speaker A
build websites that maximize their website visitors and turn them into paying customers. And one of the biggest lessons I learned in business when I was still freelancing and I was broke living in my mom's basement. Sure, I had some
Speaker A
months I would make four or $5,000 a month and then next month I was back down to freaking zero because I built a site. Cool. Now I'm done. Now I have to restart. Which, by the way, isn't even a
Speaker A
real business. If you have to restart every single month, it's not feasible. But when you install this system, not only does it help these clients, but it also builds you because now you have monthly recurring income coming in. And in that
Speaker A
same period, I noticed when I was freaking cold calling, I was sending everyone messages, I noticed that the people that were spending money on ads already were always the best clients. If I just showed them, hey, this is what
Speaker A
you're doing. You're doing t
Speaker A
would just let them go side by side and I would tell them, hey, let's do this.
Speaker A
Run your current campaign if you don't have enough data. and then run my campaign. I would build them a new landing page, see which one gets you more appointments. And now it's undeniable. And you can even offer this
Speaker A
for free. You can insert that piece of code that essentially brings this little widget in and just see if they can get more appointments from that. This is why this is the easiest beginnerfriendly way to actually get into the space. If you
Speaker A
want everything imported into your account and just copy and paste everything that we've built with a click, you can now do that. It's working like crazy. Not just for me, but we've proven that this works for people with
Speaker A
all kinds of experience levels and backgrounds. In fact, Gohigh Level themselves rated us the number one course because of the results that we get for people and the support that we give. I'm going to show you a toz how to
Speaker A
get clients, deliver results, grow your business, and then even hire employees to run it all for you. I'll even talk to you on Zoom and answer questions to make sure that you succeed. If you want all this for free, go to laptop CEO.com or
Speaker A
check the link in the description. Now, look, I've tried almost every tool out there. And a majority of them don't do this. But B, the best tool that I found is called gfreetrial.com.
Speaker A
And essentially what you can do inside of here is it houses everything. You can build full websites on this tool as well as if you want, you can also just install this little widget on any website you want with one piece of code
Speaker A
and it turns it into a talking website. So, the first thing you would do is head over to Launchpad and just integrate the client's business. Just integrate their Google business right here, which will, by the way, give them a bunch of data
Speaker A
and a bunch of stats on how much traffic they're getting. And then just integrate their Facebook. If you're outside the US, you can also integrate WhatsApp.
Speaker A
Then you're going to head over to where it says AI agents right here. Then you can head over to where it says knowledge base right here. And you're going to create a new knowledge base. So, I'm going to call this testing 2. And then
Speaker A
we're going to hit create. And so, what we're doing here is actually building this talking website. Right? We're building that database so the AI knows exactly what to say when someone asks, "Hey, what are your hours? Hey, what are
Speaker A
your services?" So, the first thing you want to do is head over to web crawler.
Speaker A
If they already have an existing website, just hit add source and just crawl their website. So, choose all URLs in this domain and then take that person's business. Let's say I'm going to work with this guy right here. I
Speaker A
would take it and I would just simply paste it inside of here. Then you hit extract data just like that. And so now it's going to scan every single page that's on that domain for information.
Speaker A
So the AI bot knows exactly what it is that you want. Now you're going to head over to where it says rich text. Now I love this field because this allows you to manually paste it in. But instead of
Speaker A
going through each and every single page in here and taking the content and copy and pasting it. What we're going to do is head over to chat GPT right here. And I already built you this bot. Now we had
Speaker A
to use this internally. And what I'm doing is now sharing it with you. You'll see the URL. I'll pop it up on screen.
Speaker A
And now all you have to do is just paste in these details. Now I went through the website and this is all the information I could find. Most of them will have more details, which this is already a
Speaker A
red flag in and of itself, but then we have hours. And as you can see on here, they literally don't even have their hours listed. Now, let's just assume their hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Speaker A
And I'm just going to hit enter right there. So no prompts are needed, nothing else. And this AI bot will automatically generate you everything that you need to paste right here inside the rich text field. First thing is always going to be
Speaker A
the frequently asked questions. So sometimes people will ask questions that are not on their website. So we want AI to find what are the most likely questions to come up and then a we want AI to come up with a solution. Now you
Speaker A
might be thinking great but how does this tool know everything about this business? Well, it doesn't. So what you'll need to do is go in and actually ask your client, hey does all this make sense? You can give them a word document
Speaker A
and say hey edit this so it fits your business. All right so let's copy that.
Speaker A
So there's the content. Let's go ahead and paste it right in here. Then you can just hit save. And now it's added. So we're going to hit add source again and we're going to do rich text. We're going
Speaker A
to do a second one. And we're going to do service details and business overview. And now you're going to highlight and select all of this information. All right. Now we have the whole thing updated. And now you can hit
Speaker A
save. Boom. Now we have two sections. So we have the AI section and then we also have the web crawler. And this is really all that you have to do. Now that the AI is trained, we have to build that
Speaker A
chatbot. So head over to where it says sites right here. You can hit chat widget right there and then hit new and then you're going to choose voice AI down here. Now this is the screen you'll see. So you want to change the chat
Speaker A
widget name to be the same as the business. So we'll call it delta concrete. Now you can adjust this chat widget to be literally anything that you want. We want it to be sticky. You can choose the color right here to match
Speaker A
their brand theme. You can also make it personalized and customize it. But really that's all you have to do. That's going to be up to you. You can also upload the clients or the front desk's photo in here to make it look cool. You
Speaker A
can adjust where that chatbot shows up. I like the bottom right hand corner under chat window. You don't really have to touch this option right here if you don't want to. And again, you can talk about this with your client and see what
Speaker A
it is that they want to change. I typically remove the agency branding right there. We don't really need HIPPA, so that's fine. Then under messaging, you can choose the language. All my clients are in English, so I'm going to
Speaker A
leave that. Now under agent, you are going to link up that knowledge base that you just set up right here. So now when someone calls, it's going to use that data that you imported. Now I don't want to change mine because we already
Speaker A
have a client in here. But this is what you would do. You would select that dropown, select that knowledge base and at the very right hand corner you just hit save and then the whole thing is done. So if you want that code and then
Speaker A
if you want to add it to an existing website you just hit get code right here and there it is. So now you can just hit copy right here and you can just paste this into the header or the body tag of
Speaker A
literally any website. It doesn't matter where it's built. We also do have a WordPress plugin right here. So you can select that and then boom, you can just download it and link it up to that site.
Speaker A
We build a lot of our websites inside of GoH High Le. So you can see we have the pages in there and then you can select settings right here and then the chat widget. You can select this dropown and
Speaker A
select that new one you just built. Now obviously before you launch it, have your client test it. So what I recommend you do is just launch it on a separate domain right here. That's different than the live domain that they have and then
Speaker A
send it to your client. Have them talk to this agent. Have it just make sure that everything freaking works. Now, there's one last step. You're going to head over to where it says AI agents and we're actually going to set up the voice
Speaker A
option of that. So, you can choose how it sounds. You're going to hit create agent at the top there. You're going to select create custom agent right here.
Speaker A
You can hit continue and then it will give you all these options. You can name the agent. So, we'll call it the same business name. Boom. Delta Concrete.
Speaker A
Now, under voice, you can select exactly how you want it to sound. You can also download over 300 voices if you'd like and see what that's like.
Speaker A
Hey worldly 11 Labs friends, let's talk. Let's have a conversation about anything. Honestly, I think Jessica is perfectly fine. That's the one that I like using, but just go through literally all of them. I would select a female voice if I
Speaker A
were you. That seems to work a little bit better and then you'll be all set.
Speaker A
So, hit next right there. And there's only three steps, which is the details, agent goals, and then a phone and availability. So from here we want to select the knowledge base. We created testing too. So go ahead and do that.
Speaker A
You want to select name, email, and then if you need their address, this depends on the client, but if you need their address, you can select that right here.
Speaker A
And then you can select next. And then it's going to go over to where it says phone and availability. So from here, you want to purchase the client a new phone number. Now, we have our client's credit card linked up to our account. So
Speaker A
this just bills them. You can also test the agent right here on the phone call.
Speaker A
Also, again, we're doing web, but you can also set this up to automatically pick up the phone in case your client doesn't answer, right? It's 11:00 p.m.
Speaker A
at night, your client's sleeping. So, you can do that right here. And now you can go ahead and hit save and the whole thing is done. Now, for the calendar, you would create that right here. And if you remember at the beginning of this
Speaker A
process, we linked up their Google page. So, that's going to sync up with their Gmail and their Google calendar. So, if they don't want to do that, you'll have to link up a new calendar. But if they do, then it's very simple. You can just
Speaker A
hit new calendar right there. You can do what's called personal booking and then you can just name your calendar. You can have the meeting duration right there.
Speaker A
So if they're going out to that property, then you can make this 1 hour or like whatever it is that you want.
Speaker A
Most of our clients, we just book them phone calls. So we don't do this whole like at home thing. What we do is we allow the people on the website to book a phone call. And I and I know this
Speaker A
seems counterintuitive because they could just call the person right here, but what if they're calling at 7:00 p.m.? No one's actually going to pick up. So, what they're doing here is booking a phone call for tomorrow, let's say at 10:00 a.m. So, now they're
Speaker A
expecting that call. So, now all the calls get connected and your client when they calls that customer, they're going to pick up the phone and then on that phone, they can ask them all the questions they want to ask. Hey, what's
Speaker A
your address? Hey, what is it exactly that you need done? They can see if they can actually help them and then they can book that in-person visit. At least for this industry, they need to go to their property and their house. If you're
Speaker A
working with barbers, they can book them directly on the calendar. So, the setup fee can range. Like, there's a bunch of templates on here that you can just simply download and then use AI, use GPT to make all the content for you and
Speaker A
charge anywhere between$1 to $6,000 upfront. And then you charge $500 per month to keep using this website chat widget, turning this website into a talking website. A plumber could make $4 or $5,000 just for visiting someone's house and fixing something simple. A
Speaker A
roofer could make $8,000 on repairing someone's roof. A dentist could make a couple thousand. If it's something a little bit more complex, of course, teeth cleanings and those like lower level services are going to be less, but overall, these people are making
Speaker A
thousands of dollars from each customer. So, paying you 500 makes perfect sense, even if you can get them one customer every few months. So, look, if you're a complete beginner, just give someone a free trial. You saw how easy that was to
Speaker A
set up. copy and paste a piece of code and if you get 20 clients paying you just $300 per month, which I recommend you charge 500, but let's say it's 300, you're still at $6,000 per month. That is literally someone's full-time salary.
Speaker A
Now, if you get 20 clients and you're charging $500 a month, like I said, now you're making $10,000 per month from services that you already set up. And this is monthly recurring income. If you want to see a more in-depth tutorial on
