After-hours website front desk · Independent small businesses

Every unanswered evening question is a client who books with someone else.

TwoShot is a website chatbot that covers your front desk when you’re closed or slammed — hours, pricing ranges, emergency triage, and booking requests — so the lead that hits your site at 9:47 pm doesn’t leave for the shop that answered.

  • Example chats live on TwoShot — nothing on your site until you’re a client
  • Built for your industry FAQ + booking flow
  • Human takeover on Growth when a real person should reply

Example conversations · on twoshotchatbots.com

Pick an industry. Watch a scripted after-hours chat play out.

These are short example scenes — captured conversations that show how a TwoShot desk handles a late-night lead. They’re not a live bot you type into. Want something trained on your real hours, services, and booking rules? Request a private client-portal demo (login credentials) that Shaun builds for your business on a TwoShot-hosted portal.

10:12 PM After hours
Riverside Plumbing Emergency · after-hours desk

Burst pipe at 10 pm

Homeowner finds water on the kitchen floor. They land on your site instead of calling the first Google ad. The bot triages, logs the address, and queues an emergency callback — so the job doesn’t go to whoever answers the phone.

  • Emergency request captured with address + phone
  • Safety steps given immediately
  • Tech callback queued — not a voicemail black hole

ROI mathematics

One recovered customer a month pays for the bot many times over.

Move the slider. See what after-hours silence is actually costing you versus the monthly service. Setup/build is a one-time fee shown in Pricing and is separate from this calculator.

Monthly lost revenue (at your numbers) $1,700

Illustrative. Assumes the chatbot helps convert leads you would otherwise miss after hours. Not a guarantee of bookings.

The expensive alternative

Night receptionist ~$4,000/mo

Part-time overnight desk coverage — wages, scheduling, training, turnover. Still only covers the phone, not your website FAQ.

vs
TwoShot website desk ~$199–349/mo

Answers the questions that hit your site when you’re closed. Booking requests logged. Human takeover on Growth when needed.

You’re not hiring AI to replace your team. You’re stopping the after-hours leak that never makes it to your team.

After you become a client

Go live on your site in three short steps.

Every plan includes a private portal demo first. We only install on your live site after you approve what you see — no surprises, no free installs on your pages.

  1. 01

    We interview your desk

    Hours, services, after-hours rules, and what a good booking request looks like.

  2. 02

    You approve in the private portal

    We build a private client-portal demo on your facts (login credentials). You review it, poke holes, and sign off before anything goes live.

  3. 03

    Paste one line of code

    Only after your approval: widget on your site. Done. No new software for your staff to learn.

Standard rates

Industry example chats live on this site. On every plan, we build a private portal demo first and only install on your website after you approve — one line of code when you’re ready.

Straight answers

Questions owners actually ask.

Will it make up prices or give bad advice?

No — and we don’t leave that to chance. Answers come from what you approve: your public pages plus facts you give us in the interview. If a visitor asks something outside that knowledge, the bot says it doesn’t know and offers a human callback instead of guessing. We never invent dollar amounts you didn’t sign off on.

Can it connect to my calendar or booking tool?

On Growth, yes where your tool supports it — we wire booking requests into the system you already use, or capture structured requests for your team to confirm. Starter captures the request cleanly (who, what, when, phone/email) and emails you so nothing sits unread until morning.

What if someone needs a real person right now?

On Growth, yes — human takeover hands the conversation to you (or a designated number/email) when the visitor asks for a person, or when the topic is too sensitive for automation (emergencies, medical triage, angry customers). On Starter, the desk captures a callback request and emails you so a real person can follow up — you’re never locked out of your own leads.

Do I get a free bot on my website before I buy?

No. The industry scenes above are scripted examples on TwoShot’s site — not a live chatbot you chat with. On every plan, Shaun builds a private client-portal demo with login credentials on a TwoShot-hosted portal so you can approve the desk before go-live. Website install (one line of code) happens only after that approval — never pasted onto your live site for free.

What is the Client Portal?

Your login hub for Demo Intake, private demos, plan selection, change requests, and go-live approval. Create a portal account to start the demo flow — TwoShot hosts the private demo until you approve install on your live site.

Client Portal

One login for demos, updates, billing, and chatbot changes.

Create a portal account to submit Demo Intake, review a private TwoShot-hosted demo, choose Starter or Growth, and request updates — without juggling email threads. Nothing installs on your live site until you approve.

  • Private demos with login — trained on your desk, hosted by TwoShot
  • Request chatbot changes without a call
  • Plan selection & billing visibility (Stripe next)
  • Updates and go-live checklist in one place

Start in the Client Portal

Create an account with your industry and website. Download or fill the Demo Intake, then Shaun builds your private demo for review.

The industry scenes on this page are scripted examples. When you’re ready for something trained on your business, request a private client-portal demo — required on every plan before go-live. Shaun builds it on a TwoShot-hosted portal with login credentials. Nothing is installed on your live site until you approve what you see.
