A small company near Montreal that helps businesses get found online and stop losing the customers they already have.
Three ways in, for three different people: learn the system yourself, hand your content to a service we recommend, or put Alice on your phone. Pick your door below.
You have more time than budget and you would rather learn it than rent it. One person with the right workflow now does what used to take a team.
You want the video made and the posting handled by someone else, so you can get back to the work you are actually good at. Here are the services we recommend.
Your phone already rings more than you can pick up. This one is for a business that is growing, not for a business that is starting.
Built and run by Aaron Wood, near Montreal, in Canada. Anything you would like him to see personally can go in writing to support@clearwaythrough.com, addressed to Aaron. Here he is in his own words.
Read this part only if your phone is already busy. If it rings twice a week you do not need her. If it rings while your hands are inside somebody's wall, if it rings at seven on a Sunday evening, and if the caller just dials the next name on the list when nobody picks up, that is the exact problem she was built for.
The short video at the top of this page is about her, if you skipped past it.
There is a phone number at the bottom of this box. It rings a live demo of the product on this page, and Alice picks up.
Two things you can do once she does. Have her answer as the front desk for a made up home services business, so you hear how she would handle your own callers. Or skip the role play and just ask her what this costs, how she handles an angry caller, or what happens when she does not know the answer. She will book an appointment while you are on the line if you want to hear that part, which is the part most people call about.
She is an AI and she tells you so. The call runs up to five minutes and then she closes it out. Anything she books goes on a demo calendar, so nothing is committed and nobody is expecting you. If you would rather not call, everything she would tell you is written on this page.
One thing this number is not. It is not a support line. If you are already a customer, email support@clearwaythrough.com and a person will answer.
Alice is an AI voice sitting on your line. She answers at two in the afternoon and at two in the morning. She finds out what the caller needs, checks your calendar, and books them in while they are still on the phone. Then she sends you the details in writing.
You keep your number. You learn no software. The call arrives the way it always did, and the booking lands in the calendar you already open every morning.
Your existing number forwards to Alice when you cannot pick up, or all the time. That is your call, not ours.
Name, number, what they need, when they can come in. She answers the questions your customers actually ask, because we load her with your prices, your hours and your service area before she ever takes a call.
The appointment is booked and the details reach you in writing. Nothing to type up later, nothing to call back about.
Roughly one call in four goes unanswered at a small business. Invoca measured 20 to 27 percent across about 400,000 real calls, depending on the trade.
Between 60 and 80 percent of urgent calls happen outside business hours. We computed that ourselves from public records at Seattle Fire, NYC 311 and Chicago 311, more than 400,000 timestamped calls.
A quarter of the work goes missing, and most of the urgent part of it arrives when the office is dark. That is the gap Alice sits in.
One thing to be straight about. Alice speaks English. Not French, not Spanish, not yet. If most of your callers need another language, this is not the right fit today, and we would tell you that on the call rather than after you paid.
Three sizes, priced by how much talking your line actually does, on your own number. Month to month, no contract, and you can cancel any time with no fee.
Or pay for the year and get two months free.

Published AI phone answering plans in this field run from about a hundred and thirty dollars a month to nearly eight hundred. The voice company we build on will sell you a bare answering agent for twenty two dollars. You would turn that up in fifteen minutes, so we would rather hand it to you now.
What the gap buys is the part that is not software. Alice is built around your business by hand, with your prices, your hours, your service area and the questions your customers actually ask. She books into your real calendar rather than emailing you a transcript. Somebody watches the line and corrects her when she drifts.
The thing she replaces is not an app. It is a full time intake coordinator, somewhere around forty five to sixty thousand a year, covering forty hours of a week that has a hundred and sixty eight in it. Alice covers all of them.
Rather talk it through first? Ask Alice at the bottom of this page, or call the demo line on 1-888-514-2719 and hear her work. Either one, any hour.
AI content services now make and post video for a small business at a fraction of what an agency charges, and some of them do it well. We stopped making content for clients because of it. We would rather point you to the good ones than compete with them.
A short guide to the AI video tools and the done for you content services we would point a friend to, with the links. Read it, pick one, and keep working.
Open the guideBefore you spend anything, Alice will build you one, right here on this page. She asks about your business, your customers and what you are actually trying to grow, then writes up what she finds and hands it to you. One sitting, no card, and it is yours to keep whether you ever buy anything or not.
Build my free reportResearch on your business and your market. We look at your competitors and your customers, then hand you three documents: a competitor summary, a know your audience report, and a growth blueprint written for your business rather than for your industry in general.
It tells you what to build and who can build it. Run it yourself, or take it to any service you choose, including the ones in the guide above.
Read the full blueprint page Get the blueprintWe are far enough into the AI era that one person with the right workflow does what used to take a small team, and doing it that way saves you a great deal of money. If that sounds like you, buy the system and run it.
Aaron recorded this one himself: what it actually takes to start an online business, and the exact workflow for turning one hour into two weeks of scheduled content. It is the process we use ourselves, written down so you can run it on your own.
Three steps, and you can stop at any of them. The free pack is the short version. The kit is the content workflow in full. The One Simple System is the whole business around it.
The workflow in short: which format to pick first, how to write a week of scripts in one sitting, the posting setup that runs without you, and what to skip entirely, which is most of it.
Send me the packThe whole thing written out step by step, with the videos. You get the PDF the moment you pay and access in your account any time. There is a hundred prompt add on at the checkout if you want it.
Get the kitThe course the kit leads into. The kit is the workflow for the content; this is how the whole business fits together around it, in the order you would actually build it. Aaron recorded it himself.
See the courseClear Way Through is a department of Aaron Wood Creative, run out of the Montreal area in Quebec, Canada. The person running it is Aaron Wood.
He is a musician and an entrepreneur. Twenty years on stages and in studios, and the last stretch of it building AI systems that do real work rather than demo well. He built Alice. A question for him personally can go in writing to support@clearwaythrough.com, addressed to Aaron, and it can be routed for his review.

A good plumber is a good plumber. A good dentist is a good dentist. Almost nobody is also great at answering a phone all day, writing the marketing and building the systems on top of that, and there are only so many hours in a week to try.
So the work walks in the door and some of it quietly walks back out, because the phone rang at the wrong moment or because nobody in the neighborhood has heard the name yet. That is not a failure of effort. It is a gap in the machinery, and machinery is the part that can be fixed.
We build the piece that catches the work you already earned, we teach the piece that brings more of it, and we point you to the people who will do it for you if you would rather not. Which one you need depends on where you are, and that is why there are three doors at the top of this page instead of one.
This is the same Alice that answers the phone. There are two things you can do in this window, and both of them are free.
She interviews you about your business, your customers and what you are trying to grow, then writes the report and hands it over at the end of the conversation. Set aside a few minutes and do it now.
Say: I want my free business report.
What it costs, whether she fits your trade, what happens when a caller is angry, and how fast she can be answering your line. Ask her here, any time of day.
Say: tell me about the appointment setter.
