ARION
Free Arion ScorecardMetro Detroit + remote24/7 AI call answering

The job you should have booked went to whoever answered first.

Arion AI builds and runs the systems that make sure that's you, the website, the ads, the Google presence, and the agents that text back, pick up, and follow through while you're on the tools.

For owner-operated local businesses, trades, salons and spas, restaurants and shops, and service SMBs across Metro Detroit and, remotely, the country.

“We fix the leak before we sell you the faucet.”

Most local businesses don't have a demand problem, they have a bucket with holes in it. A slow site, a missed call, a page-two ranking, a dead review profile. We find the holes, patch them, then turn on demand once the bucket holds. It's slower to start, and it's the only thing that works.

How we work
The free part

See your business the way a customer sees it, scored out of 100.

A grade out of 100 across five things a customer judges you on, plus plain-English notes and at least one fix you can make today, whether or not you hire us.

  • Website

    Does your site turn visitors into calls? Visitors decide in about five seconds, a slow or unclear page loses them before you know they came.

  • Search

    Do you show up on Google for what you sell? If you're not in the top three, a competitor got the call you should have had.

  • Google Business Profile

    What does someone see when they Google your name? Wrong hours and stale photos read as 'closed' and cost you the click.

  • Reviews

    Would a stranger trust you from your reviews alone? Unanswered or sparse reviews read as nobody's paying attention.

  • Social

    Does the business look alive? A dormant feed makes people check whether a competitor is still in business, and book them.

How lead generation works
Voice AI receptionist

Never miss a lead again, even at 8:14 on a Friday night.

It answers in natural conversation, books straight to your calendar, and hands off to a human the moment someone asks. Here's one doing its job.

Demo line launching soon

The AI receptionist demo line goes live with our first pilot.

Until then, hear real recorded calls, a customer booking a Saturday appointment with no human on the line.

Sample after-hours call
CallerHi, is anyone there? My water heater's leaking pretty bad.
Arion agentI can help. I've got an emergency slot tomorrow at 8am or 11am, which works? I'll text the details to confirm.
Caller8am. And how much is a callout?
Arion agentThe diagnostic visit is $89, applied to the repair if you go ahead. You're booked for 8am, Mike will call 30 minutes out.

Illustrative. Your agent uses your services, pricing, and calendar.

Speed-to-lead

A lead texted back in 19 seconds is a lead your competitor never gets to call.

Every inbound lead, your form, your ads, even Angi and Thumbtack, gets a text within 30 seconds, gets qualified, and gets offered a time.

  1. 01New leadForm, ad, or marketplace
  2. 02Texted backUnder 30 seconds
  3. 03QualifiedA few smart questions
  4. 04BookedOn your calendar

A real example: form submitted at 8:14 PM. First text at 8:14:19. Two questions answered, Saturday 9am offered and accepted by 8:19.

Answers before they move on

The average business takes hours to follow up. By then the customer has three other quotes.

Qualifies without you

It asks the two or three questions that tell you whether it's a real job before it reaches your calendar.

Works your marketplace leads too

Angi and Thumbtack leads get the same instant text, usually the thing that was missing.

How we work

Five things we won't trade away

    01 / 05

    We fix the leak before we sell the faucet

    No campaign runs until the funnel holds water. It's slower to start and it's the only thing that works.

    02 / 05

    Every claim carries a receipt

    A number, a transcript, a screenshot, or a phone number you can call. If we can't show it, we don't say it.

    03 / 05

    You own everything

    The code, the domain, the ad accounts, the content. Leaving is a decision, never a hostage situation.

    04 / 05

    We report in your language

    Leads that reached you, jobs booked, calls answered. Not impressions, not reach, not engagement rate.

    05 / 05

    The demo has to be real

    If we tell you the AI answers the phone, there's a number on this site you can call right now to hear it.

Us vs. the alternative

You could stitch this together from a dozen tools. Here's the difference.

We're not comparing ourselves to a competitor, we're comparing the whole approach against the pile of DIY software most owners try first.

DIY tools & generic software

  • A template your competitor is also using
  • You wire up the integrations, or they don't get wired
  • A voicemail box, or a chatbot that can't book
  • One dashboard of metrics, no one reading it for you
  • A help center article when something breaks

Arion AI

  • A custom site built for your trade and your town
  • Booking, calls, tracking, and CRM connected and tested
  • A voice agent that answers 24/7 and books the job
  • A monthly review in booked jobs, with the next move called
  • A person who knows your setup, same-day for small things
Proof

One real result beats a wall of stock quotes.

Every claim on this site carries a receipt, a number, a transcript, a phone number you can call. Here's what we can show so far.

Our recruiters were spending eight hours a week just parsing résumés and deciding who was worth a call. Arion built a system that does both the second a résumé lands, reformatted to our standard and classified against our criteria. Now the team only sees the candidates worth their time, and it paid for itself in under a quarter.
Vishnu Reddy Undyala, COOBrightsharks Engineering Services
Shreyas and Abhi bring a level of work ethic and initiative I don't often see. They research every business thoroughly before reaching out, follow through on what they commit to, and put real effort into understanding what local owners need. I've been glad to introduce them to our members, and I'd recommend them to any business looking for a motivated, dependable team.

Questions

The questions we get before the first call

What does Arion AI actually do?

We build and run the systems a local business needs to get found and book work: the website, the Google presence, the ads, and the AI agents that answer the phone and follow up with leads. You get one team instead of five vendors.

Do I have to buy everything at once?

No. Almost everyone starts with the free Scorecard, then fixes the one thing costing them the most, usually the website or the missed calls. You add services when the last one is paying off.

What size business is this for?

Owner-operated local businesses, roughly 1 to 40 people. Trades, salons and spas, restaurants and shops, and service businesses like auto repair and cleaning.

Do you lock me into a contract?

No long-term contract. Month-to-month on the ongoing services, with everything built in accounts you own so you can leave with a working setup.

Are you only in Metro Detroit?

We're based in Metro Detroit and most of our hands-on work is here, but the systems we build run anywhere and we work with businesses remotely across the country.

How fast do I see results?

The Scorecard comes back in two business days. A new site launches in two to three weeks. Speed-to-lead and the voice agent work the day they go live. Local SEO compounds over three to six months.
