About this episode
Are you a tradesperson tired of your phone ringing while you're up a ladder? This episode breaks down how AI is changing the game for UK local businesses. It explains the two biggest problems you face: losing an average of £24,000 a year to missed calls, and becoming invisible to new AI search engines that recommend just one business. We look at how LokAgent uses smart AI to capture missed calls automatically and make sure you get found online.
