The problem

Where the money is leaking

You don't have a technology problem. You have a leak problem: the call that hit voicemail at 6:40 PM, the estimate nobody followed up on, the hours someone spends retyping leads. None of it shows up on a P&L. It just quietly compounds.

Calls you miss while on a job

Most callers who reach voicemail don't leave a message. They call the next name on the list: your competitor. That job was yours for the length of one ring.

Leads that go cold in your inbox

The quote request that came in Tuesday is still sitting there Thursday. Speed wins jobs: the first business to respond usually gets the work, and right now that isn't you.

Hours you pay for twice

Your staff retypes the same customer info into three different tools. Or you do it yourself at 10 PM. Either way, you're paying skilled people to be a copy machine.

One missed call can be a $300–$3,000 customer. One month invisible online costs more.

How much walked out the door this month?

You know your average job. You know roughly how many calls you miss and how many hours a week disappear into admin. Put in your numbers. Ours would be guesses, and we don't sell guesses.

The calculator needs JavaScript. Or skip it: the free audit does this math with your real books.

Your numbers, our math, no industry averages, no made-up stats. Formula: (missed calls × your win rate × job value + admin hours × hourly cost) × 4.33 weeks.

What we do

Two ways we fix it. One system underneath.

Automation stops you losing the customers and hours you've already paid for. Content reaches the ones who've never heard of you. We build both, and run both.

Pillar 1 · Automation

Automation that captures revenue and saves time

Stop losing the customers and hours you've already paid for.

  • Capture more calls. The AI receptionist answers around the clock, while missed-call text-back provides a fallback when a call cannot connect.
  • Follow up consistently. Calls, forms, and social inquiries enter one CRM, with automated follow-up based on the approved workflow.
  • Automate repetitive work. Use n8n workflows for repeatable tasks such as routing information and sending review requests.
  • Know what needs attention. Dashboards and alerts surface hot leads, exceptions, and low-stock conditions for a person to review.

Every build is measured the same way: did it book a job or save an hour? If it won't do one of those, we won't build it.

Pillar 2 · Content

Content that creates visibility and demand

Reach customers who haven't heard of you without carrying the weekly content workload yourself.

  • Real footage, shot by our crew. Short-form video and photos filmed at your business, edited and ready to post.
  • Posted on a plan. A monthly calendar tied to the services you most want to sell, captions in your voice, scheduled ahead.
  • Your inbox handled. Comments, DMs, and reviews answered, with the hot leads flagged to you and saved in the same CRM as your calls.
  • A plain report. What worked and what's next, not a vanity dashboard.

Shoots run across Long Island and the NYC metro. Outside the area? Send us your own footage and we'll handle the editing, scheduling, strategy, and inbox.

How it works

Audit → Roadmap → Build → Run

Most agencies sell you the fix before they've seen the problem. We look first.

  1. Free Business Audit

    A free 30-minute consult with the founder, in person on Long Island or by video. We map how leads, jobs, and dollars move through your business, and where customers can't find you. You keep the written findings, even if we never work together.

  2. Roadmap

    A plain-English plan ranked by payback, fastest first. For anything custom, you get a written scope and a fixed quote before we build a thing. No surprises, no meter running.

  3. Build & Shoot

    We build the automations and book your first shoot day. Nothing goes live until you've seen it working and approved it, and no post goes out until you're happy with how the work looks.

  4. Run & Improve

    We run it month to month: monitoring and tuning the automations, posting and answering your inbox, and a regular look at what to fix next. If it breaks at 2 AM, that's our problem, not yours.

You will never be handed a login and a YouTube tutorial. We build it, run it, and keep improving it.

One example build

A closer look at one build: the AI receptionist

The phone is the leak we find most often, so this is the system we've built the most. It's one piece of the automation side, not the whole offer, but it's the one you can pick up and test yourself right now.

  • Answers every call, 24/7, nights, weekends, and holidays
  • Books appointments straight into your calendar
  • Captures every caller's name, number, and reason
  • Texts and emails you the moment something needs you
  • Logs every call to your CRM automatically
  • Screens out spam and robocalls
  • Speaks English and Spanish
  • Texts back the calls you couldn't take, in seconds
Pricing

What it costs

There's no price list on this page, and that's deliberate.

How we price

We quote after we look, not before.

Quoting before understanding your business is how agencies pad numbers. A workflow that saves your office manager six hours a week is worth a different price than one that saves twenty, and filming a two-van operation isn't the same job as filming six locations. So the audit comes first, free, and you get a written scope and a fixed quote before anything gets built or filmed. If the numbers don't work for you, we'll say so and shake your hand anyway.

Most work runs as a flat monthly retainer, month to month. You'll know the number before you commit to anything, and you won't find surprise line items on it later.

Founder-led

A local team, not a faceless platform

Novanex is a founder-run shop on Long Island, New York, with an in-house crew that shoots and edits the content. The founder scopes your audit, meets you in person, and stays your point of contact. No ticket queue, no overseas call center, no account manager you'll never meet.

Here's the part most agencies won't say out loud: we're young, and we won't pretend otherwise. No rented testimonials. No invented client counts. No stock photos standing in for work we haven't done. What we offer instead is a system you can call and test right now, a free audit you keep whether or not you hire us, and your first monthly retainer back if the first month isn't working.

Who we work with · examples, not a limit

  • Med spas

    Consults booked while the front desk sleeps, and results worth showing off.

  • Contractors & trades

    Quotes answered from the roof, and the before-and-after that wins the next one.

30-Day Money-Back Pilot

If the first month doesn't work, we refund your first monthly retainer.

We only want to be paid for work that pays you.

Your first monthly retainer is refundable, and you can cancel the retainer anytime unless we've agreed otherwise in a contract. Any one-time setup or production fee is non-refundable, since that work is already done. Full terms.

FAQ

The questions every owner asks (mostly about money)

How fast does this pay for itself?

We won't promise a number. Anyone who does is guessing with your money. Here's how to think about it instead: if one missed call is worth $300–$3,000 to you, a system that catches even one or two a month has usually paid for itself. Content is slower and we'll say so plainly, because visibility compounds over months, not days. Either way you get the real numbers for your business in the audit, before you've spent anything, and we don't take on work the roadmap can't justify.

What actually happens in the free audit, and what's the catch?

A free 30-minute consult with the founder, in person if you're local, or a video call if that's easier. We walk through how a lead, a job, and a dollar move through your business today, and how visible you are to the customers still looking for you. You get a written list of what we found plus a roadmap ranked by payback. Yours to keep whether or not we ever work together. The "catch" is just how we earn the work: if the audit turns up real problems, we'd like to be the ones who fix them.

How does billing actually work?

Ongoing work is a flat monthly retainer, agreed in writing before anything starts. Some engagements also carry a one-time setup or production fee covering the build or the shoot day. Genuine pass-through costs, like phone minutes, ad spend, or software licensed in your name, are itemized in your quote and never quietly marked up. You'll know the number before you commit, and you won't find new line items on it later.

Which platforms do you post to?

Wherever your customers actually are. For most local businesses that means Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and your Google Business Profile, with YouTube Shorts or LinkedIn when they genuinely fit. We'd rather run two accounts properly than six badly, and part of the audit is working out which two those are for you.

Do I have to be on camera?

No. Some of the best-performing content is the work itself: the install, the before-and-after, the shop at 6 AM, the thing only you know how to do. If you or your team want to be on camera we'll direct you and make it painless. If you'd rather not, we build around the work instead. It's your call, not a condition.

Who owns the photos and video?

You do. Everything we shoot for you is yours to use however you want once it's delivered and paid for, including on your website, in ads, and anywhere else. We'll only feature your work in our own portfolio if you say yes, and saying no doesn't change your pricing or your service in any way.

What if the AI says something wrong, or gets a question it can't answer?

It's trained on your business (your services, your hours, your service area), and when it hits something it doesn't know, it does what a good receptionist does: takes the caller's name and number, promises a call back, and alerts you instantly. It never guesses at prices or makes commitments you didn't approve. Don't take that on faith. Call the demo and try to stump it: (516) 212-3998.

Do I need to switch my phone number or change my tools?

No. You keep your number. Calls route to the AI when you can't pick up, or around the clock, your choice. We build around the tools you already use wherever possible, and where a new one genuinely earns its place (like a real CRM if you're running on sticky notes), we set it up and run it for you. Hours you'll spend learning new software: zero.

How long until I'm live?

An AI receptionist is typically live in about 10 business days from kickoff: built, tested against your real scenarios, and approved by you before it takes a single live call. Social work usually starts sooner, since we can begin posting and managing your accounts while we schedule the first shoot. Anything custom gets its own timeline in your roadmap before you commit to a thing.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Work runs month to month unless we've both signed something with a fixed term, and you can cancel the retainer any time without a penalty or an explanation. Your first monthly retainer is refundable if that first month isn't working for you. One-time setup and production fees aren't refundable, because that work is already done and the results are already yours. The full wording is in our terms. We keep it this way on purpose: the work has to keep earning its keep, or you should stop paying for it.

Who actually does the work?

The founder runs your audit, scopes the job, and stays your direct point of contact. Automation is built on proven infrastructure (n8n, AI voice, Airtable, Twilio). The shoots and edits are done by our own in-house crew, not a marketplace freelancer we found last week. Nothing here is outsourced overseas. The AI answers your customers; the founder answers to you. If something breaks at 2 AM, it's our problem before it's ever yours.
