Most small service businesses don't have a website problem or a CRM problem. They have a stack problem. A website here, a booking tool there, an email platform, a review app, an invoicing subscription, and a chatbot that nobody has time to train. Each one bills monthly, none of them talk to each other, and the owner is the integration layer. AI Business Sites, built by AIQ Labs, takes the opposite approach: one flat monthly fee, one system, and a team that runs it for you. And right now, the setup fee is waived.
Key points
- The platform launches a custom 85+ page website within 7 days of kickoff, with hosting, maintenance, and ongoing content included in one $497 monthly fee.
- 14+ SEO content pieces are published monthly by a 12-agent production pipeline, plus a weekly SEO report covering Google, Bing, and AI-citation share of voice.
- The Jobs & Estimates module runs the full quote, job, invoice, payment, and review loop without the per-seat pricing common to field-service software.
- Clients own everything: code, content, data, and domain, with a GitHub repo and database export provided if they leave.
- Only four capabilities cost extra: Lead Generation ($149/mo), Outreach ($229/mo), Social Content ($299/mo), and the AI Receptionist phone add-on ($199/mo).
The pricing model is deliberately simple. There's a $1,497 one-time setup fee, which is currently waived for a limited number of new businesses each month, and a $497 monthly subscription. Under the current offer, the first $497 payment starts the build. There's no deposit and no contract; it's month-to-month and you can cancel anytime. For that, you get a custom website with 85+ pages live within 7 days of kickoff: 25 to 30 hand-crafted core pages covering your services, plus 60 AI-generated SEO pages targeting your service areas and comparing you against alternatives buyers are already searching for. Behind the site sits the AI back office: a CRM, 24/7 chat, a voice agent visitors can talk to right in the browser, lead capture with instant follow-up, automations, and a knowledgebase the AI answers from. The content engine keeps working after launch. It publishes 14+ new SEO pieces every month, researched and written by 12 specialized agents that handle research, drafting, claim verification, citations, and schema markup. A weekly SEO report lands in your inbox with rank movers, traffic, and what the team plans to do next.
For trades and any business that quotes and schedules work, the Jobs & Estimates module may be the most valuable part. It closes the loop that field-service platforms like Jobber and Housecall Pro typically charge per seat for: the AI drafts a line-item quote from a call transcript or chat thread, the customer approves and signs it on a mobile page, the approved quote becomes a job on the calendar, the invoice goes out with an online pay page, and the review request follows payment. There are practical touches throughout. You can see when a customer opened a quote. Invoices send their own day-3, day-7, and day-14 reminders. Techs get a phone view with big Start, On My Way, and Finish buttons that trigger customer notifications automatically. Payments run through the client's own Stripe account, so the money never touches the platform. If you sell things rather than quote them, the commerce engine covers that too: product stores, restaurant online ordering with pickup, delivery, and dine-in, bookable services with real availability, and event tickets. Customers can even order or book by talking to the website's voice agent.
The included SEO Growth Engine reflects how search has changed. It tracks Google and Bing rankings, but it also monitors AI-citation share of voice: how often ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and Gemini recommend your business versus your competitors. That matters because a growing share of buyers ask an AI assistant before they ever see a search results page. The engine runs a weekly loop: measure traffic and rankings, research keywords with real volume and difficulty data, assign each keyword cluster to exactly one page to avoid cannibalization, brief the content engine, rewrite pages that are decaying, and file the report. Clients control how much autonomy the system has, from observe-only to fully automatic within limits. Every edit is versioned and revertible. The comparison pages deserve special mention. Every price and claim is re-verified against scraped sources before publishing. If a competitor's price can't be confirmed, the page says "contact for pricing" rather than inventing a number. That discipline is rare in AI-generated content and it's the kind of thing that holds up when a buyer checks your math.
Almost everything is included in the $497. Four outbound capabilities cost extra, and the pricing is transparent: Lead Generation at $149/month finds and enriches local B2B prospects; Outreach at $229/month runs self-optimizing cold email and contact-form campaigns that test message variants against each other and rewrite themselves based on replies; Social Content at $299/month produces daily posts for 12 platforms with AI images and video; and the AI Receptionist at $199/month adds a dedicated phone number the AI answers 24/7, booking appointments against your real availability. One distinction worth understanding: the website's embedded voice agent, which visitors talk to in their browser, is included in the base price. Answering actual inbound phone calls is what the Receptionist add-on does. All add-ons are month-to-month and can be added or dropped anytime.
The ownership model is where AI Business Sites breaks from typical SaaS. Clients own the code, the content, the lead data, the knowledgebase documents, and the domain. The site is built on React and Next.js, standard technology any developer can pick up. If a client leaves, the company pushes the complete website code to a GitHub repo in their name and hands over a full database export. That's a meaningful shift from the usual arrangement, where years of content, reviews, and customer data live inside a platform you're renting. As the company puts it: cancel anytime, leave with everything, we keep you by doing the work. It's a confidence position, and it puts the burden of retention on service quality rather than lock-in.
The platform is built for local and regional service businesses: trades, HVAC, contractors, clinics, salons, restaurants, legal and financial services, real estate. The common thread is an owner who's good at the trade but has no interest in learning marketing software. The pitch isn't a feature list; it's that you never learn anything. You talk to the system, and it runs the business behind your website. It's honest about who it isn't for, too. If you want the cheapest possible website, enjoy running your own stack, or need a bespoke software project, this isn't the right fit. And for businesses that keep missing calls because they're on job sites, the combination of the included voice agent and the optional AI Receptionist addresses a problem that voicemail stopped solving years ago: most callers don't leave messages anymore, they just dial the next listing.
The small business software market has spent a decade unbundling: one tool for scheduling, one for reviews, one for email, one for invoicing, each with its own login and bill. AI Business Sites is betting the next decade runs the other way, with AI as the connective tissue that makes one managed system cheaper and simpler than six disconnected subscriptions. With the setup fee currently waived and a live-in-7-days promise, the cost of finding out whether that bet pays off for your business is one month. If you're curious, the demo shows the system running a real business, and the soft path rebuilds your homepage free so you can judge the work before committing.
