What is Ideally?

Ideally is a growth team and platform in one. We build and run your website, CRM, AI agents, automations, SEO, AEO and marketing as a single connected system, so more leads find you and every lead gets followed up.

Who is Ideally for?

Service businesses, local businesses, agencies, coaches and consultants who want more booked work without managing five different vendors and logins.

What industries does Ideally work with?

Local and service businesses of every kind, with a focus on high-ticket work such as law firms, solar, roofing, remodeling, HVAC, dental, med spas, pool builders, restoration and foundation repair. We work with businesses anywhere in the USA.

How much does Ideally cost?

Plans start at $197 a month for Starter, $297 a month for Professional and $1,997 a month for Enterprise. Ad budgets are paid directly to Google, Meta or Microsoft and are not included in the plan.

Do I need to sign a contract?

Plans are month to month and you can cancel anytime. A few ad offers, like Google Ads management, have a short minimum term, which we explain before you sign up.

How long does setup take?

Setup can be done in as little as 24 hours. Most businesses are fully live within 3 to 5 days, depending on how much we are building and moving over.

Can you move my existing contacts and phone number over?

Yes. We move your contacts and phone number over at no extra charge. Past conversations can come over too when your current software or agency is compatible with Ideally, also at no charge.

What do I keep if I cancel?

You keep your domain and your contacts. The website we built for you stays with Ideally.

How is Ideally different from a marketing agency?

Most agencies run one piece, like ads or SEO, and hand the leads off to you. Ideally builds and runs the website, CRM, follow-up, AI agents and marketing together, so leads do not fall through the gaps between vendors and you can see what happened to every one.

What is an all-in-one CRM for local businesses?

It is one system that holds your leads, conversations, calendar, pipeline, payments and reviews, instead of separate tools for each. Ideally is an all-in-one CRM that we also set up and run for you.

Can AI answer my business phone calls and texts?

Yes. An AI receptionist can answer calls, reply to texts, web chats and social messages, answer common questions and book appointments on your calendar, then hand the conversation to your team when needed. Call 888-505-4757 to try ours.

Will the AI agent sound robotic or say the wrong thing?

It is trained on your services, prices, service area and booking rules, and it hands off to your team whenever a person should take over. You can hear how it sounds by calling 888-505-4757 and talking to it the way a customer would.

What happens when I miss a call?

Ideally can text the caller back right away, answer their questions and offer times to book, so a missed call does not turn into a lost job.

What is AEO?

Answer engine optimization. It is the work of making your business easy for AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity to understand and recommend.

What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO helps you rank in Google search results and on Google Maps. AEO helps AI assistants and AI search summaries pick your business as the answer. They use many of the same signals, like clear service pages, reviews and consistent business details, so we do both together.

How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT and Google AI?

Make it easy for them to understand and trust you: clear pages for each service and area you cover, answers to the questions customers ask, structured data on your site, a complete Google Business Profile, consistent listings and a steady flow of recent reviews. That is the work our AEO service does.

How do I get more Google reviews?

Ask every happy customer at the right moment, with a link that takes them straight to your review page. Ideally sends review requests automatically after each job and helps you reply to every review.

How do you keep paid and organic leads separate?

Every lead is tagged with where it came from, such as Google Ads, Meta Ads, Google Maps, search or a referral, so you can see what your ad spend produced versus what came in organically.

Can I try the AI agent before I sign up?

Yes. Call 888-505-4757 and talk to it the way a customer would.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. The Ideally mobile app is included with every plan, so you can reply to leads, check your calendar and take payments from anywhere.

What does Ideally integrate with?

Google Business Profile, Google Calendar, Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, Stripe, PayPal, Square, QuickBooks, Xero, Shopify, Slack, Zoom and thousands more through Zapier.

Can agencies resell Ideally?

Yes. Agencies and consultants can give their own clients branded Ideally accounts. Ask about agency setups on your discovery call.
