FAQ

Questions owners ask us.

Something else on your mind? Call 207-210-4552

Do I need to be good with tech?

No. We set everything up and walk you through it in plain English — most owners just keep using their phone like normal.

Will the AI sound like a robot?

It's written in your business's voice, sticks to the answers you approve and hands the conversation to you whenever a human should step in.

I already have a website. Do I start over?

Not necessarily. We can connect text-back and booking to what you have, or rebuild it — whichever gets you results for less.

Do I keep my phone number?

Yes. Customers keep calling the number they already know; VEXO works behind it.

How fast can I be up and running?

Standard websites and single automations are the quickest. Every project gets a firm launch date on your first call.
