Lobby

Who it’s for · Local services

Built for clinics, studios, and trades that lose bookings to silence

Questions and booking intent arrive while you’re with a client, on a job, or running the floor. Forms pile up. WhatsApp becomes the switchboard. Lobby is an AI site concierge for that gap: it greets each visitor, answers inside boundaries you set, and emails you details plus a suggested reply.

Get started freeTalk to a live concierge

20 conversations a month, free. No card needed.

You’re on the floor. The site goes quiet.

Local and ops-heavy businesses don’t fail for lack of traffic — they fail when the person who can answer is busy delivering the service. Brochure sites list hours and a phone number. Contact forms sit until evening. By then the visitor booked somewhere else, or the thread lives only in your head.

Lobby keeps a first conversation going on the site (or on a shareable hosted page): what they need, whether it fits, how to take the next step. You get an email you can act on — not another blank submission.

Who this page is for

Clinics and health / wellness practices

Appointments, reschedules, “do you offer X?” — the questions that eat admin time. A concierge handles the first pass inside what you’re willing to claim; you stay with patients or clients.

Studios, coaches with local sessions, and booking-heavy practices

Class times, availability, who it’s for. Visitors need a clear answer before they commit. Lobby guides them and hands you the lead.

Trades and field service

Quotes, scope, service area, when you’re free. You’re on a job; the site still greets. Boundaries keep it from inventing prices or promises you didn’t publish.

Not this page: high-SKU ecommerce catalogs, enterprise support deflection for thousands of SKUs, or regulated advice bots that must replace licensed judgment. Umbrella: Who it’s for. For consultants and boutique firms, see Consultants.

What you get instead of a pile of forms

  1. 1
    Greets
    Every visitor is welcomed and asked what they came for.
  2. 2
    Guides
    Hours, offerings, fit, and next steps — inside boundaries you set.
  3. 3
    Lead email
    Their details, what they wanted, and a suggested reply.

Same path whether they chat on your domain or on lobby.host/c/your-name. When Lobby doesn’t know, it says so and shows your contact details — so nobody hits a dead end.

Embed on the site you have — or share a hosted page

Embed

One script before </body>; chat button on your pages; DNS and rankings unchanged.

<script src="https://lobby.host/embed.js" data-agent="your-slug"></script>

Hosted page

lobby.host/c/your-slug — useful in Google Business / Instagram bios, SMS, and QR codes until (or alongside) the embed. Every concierge also publishes a plain-text llms.txt so AI assistants can read what you offer without guessing from a brochure.

Playbook: Get found by AI assistants. Full install: Setup.

See businesses already live

Open a real concierge and ask what a client would ask a clinic, studio, or local practice:

What you meet is theirs, not a canned demo. No invented testimonials.

Not a support chatbot for a catalog

Typical website chatbots deflect FAQs or open tickets. Local service businesses usually need greeting, fit, and an owner-ready lead while the team is delivering work. That’s the concierge job. Compare: AI site concierge vs chatbot.
