## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is an AI voice receptionist?

An AI voice receptionist is software that answers your business phone calls using natural conversation. It greets callers, answers questions, books appointments, captures leads, and routes calls — 24/7, without hold times or voicemail.

### How is an AI virtual receptionist different from voicemail or an answering service?

Voicemail just records a message; a human answering service only handles one call at a time and charges per minute. Clara answers calls around the clock at a flat, predictable price. Direct appointment booking is available on Growth and Scale plans.

### Does Clara work with my existing phone number?

Yes. You keep your current number and forward calls to Clara — so customers dial the same number they always have. You can route calls to Clara only after hours, when you're busy, or 24/7.

### What industries does Clara's AI receptionist support?

Clara is tuned for med spas, dental clinics, HVAC companies, plumbers, restaurants, and other appointment- and call-driven businesses. It's trained on your specific services, pricing, and booking flow.

### Can the AI receptionist book appointments?

Yes, direct appointment booking into supported scheduling software is available on Growth and Scale plans. Essential captures appointment requests; Starter provides 24/7 answering and live call transfers.

### What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and why is it included?

AEO is the practice of structuring your business information so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews recommend you. Clara pairs it with the receptionist so you both get found and answer every call that results.

### How long does setup take?

Most businesses are live in 24–48 hours. There are no long-term contracts, and Clara comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

### Is Clara more cost-effective than hiring a receptionist?

Yes. A full-time receptionist costs tens of thousands per year and works limited hours. Clara answers every call 24/7 for a flat monthly fee, with no salary, benefits, or overtime.
