Who it’s for · Consultants
Built for consultants whose site explains the practice — but never starts the conversation
Prospects land on your site while you’re in a session, on a retainer call, or writing the deliverable. They have a fit question, hit a form, and cool off. Lobby is an AI site concierge for that gap: it greets them, guides them inside boundaries you set, and emails you who is worth a reply.
20 conversations a month, free. No card needed.
The first conversation is unpaid work in a queue
When the product is your judgment, every unanswered visitor is a discovery call you never got to have. Brochure copy names the practice; it does not ask what they need, whether the engagement fits, or what to do next. Contact forms collect an email and a blank message. You find out later — or never — what they actually wanted.
Lobby runs the first pass: welcome, fit questions, clear next step. You stay with clients. The site stops going quiet.
Who this page is for
Independent consultants and coaches
Strategy, ops, parenting, leadership, creative direction — practices built around you. Visitors need a conversation before they book a call. Lobby handles that pass and sends you context, not a blank form.
Boutique firms and small practices
A few partners, a focused offer, no SDR team. Your site should qualify and route — not wait for someone to invent the right email subject line.
Freelancers and portfolio practices
You may not want a rebuild. Paste one script on the site you already have, or publish a hosted page at lobby.host/c/your-name and put that link in your bio, proposals, and email signature. Same concierge either way.
Not this page: high-SKU ecommerce, enterprise SDR stacks, or bots meant to replace licensed advice. See Who it’s for for the full “not for yet” list. For clinics, studios, and trades, see Local services.
What Lobby does on a consultant site
- 1GreetsEvery visitor is welcomed and asked what they came for.
- 2GuidesAnswers about offerings, scope, and fit — inside boundaries you set.
- 3Hands you the leadTheir details, what they wanted, and a suggested reply — by email.
You list what it must never claim (unpublished prices, guarantees you don’t make, services you don’t sell). When it doesn’t know, it says so and shares your contact details. Fit guidance is not open-ended improvisation about your practice.
Two ways to run it (no rebuild)
On the site you already have.
Paste one script before </body>. A chat button appears. Visitors stay on your domain. DNS and rankings stay as they are.
<script src="https://lobby.host/embed.js" data-agent="your-slug"></script>A hosted page if you don’t want to touch the site.
Publish at lobby.host/c/your-name. Share it in LinkedIn / Instagram bios, proposals, and WhatsApp when someone asks “what do you offer?” Structured for people and readable by AI assistants (llms.txt).
One gate, two doors — same concierge. Full paths: Setup.

Talk to a real concierge — not a mockup:
Open any one. Ask what a prospect would ask your practice. No invented quotes here — decide from the live conversation.
Boundaries matter more when trust is the product
Consultants sell judgment. A loose chatbot that invents retainers, timelines, or guarantees damages the brand before you ever reply. Lobby checks every reply against what you sanctioned. That is the difference between a site concierge and a generic FAQ bot — more in Concierge vs chatbot.

In short
Lobby is an AI site concierge for consultants and boutique firms whose websites explain the practice but do not start the conversation. It greets each visitor, guides them on fit inside owner-set boundaries, and emails the consultant a lead with context and a suggested reply — via one script embed on an existing site or a hosted page at lobby.host/c/{slug}, without changing DNS or search rankings. Freelancers and portfolio practices can use the same paths. The free plan includes 20 conversations per month with no card required.
