Your clients are asking about AI. Your competitors are adding it to their proposals. The question isn't whether to offer AI services—it's how to do it profitably without building technology from scratch.
Research indicates 78% of businesses plan to invest in AI technology by 2026. When clients ask "Can you help us with AI on our website?", being the agency that says "yes" matters.
Why Voice AI for Agencies
Client Demand is Real
Clients are saying: "We need AI on our website—everyone's talking about it." "Our competitors have chatbots. Can we do something better?" The agency that can deliver becomes the trusted partner.
Service Differentiation
Web design is price-competitive. SEO is crowded. Paid media margins are compressed. Voice AI is that differentiating capability—few agencies offer it today.
New Revenue Stream
Voice AI creates recurring revenue:
- Setup fees: $500-$2,000
- Monthly management: $500-$2,000/month
- 10 clients at $1,000/month = $10,000 monthly recurring revenue
- Software cost: ~$200/client/month
- Margin: 80% after software
Partnership Models
