  • Ep. 2 - How Your GetOblic Business Listing Trains Your AI Assistant (And Turns It Into a 24/7 Sales Engine)
    Jan 20 2026

    Your GetOblic Business Listing Is Not a Profile... It’s the Brain of Your AI Assistant.

    In this second episode of the GetOblic Podcast, we dive deep into a critical concept most local businesses completely overlook:

    On GetOblic, your business listing is not just information.
    It is the training foundation of your AI assistant and AI receptionist.

    Every word you enter (your business description, services, hours, pricing, tags, and promotions) directly shapes how your AI speaks to customers, answers questions, handles objections, and converts conversations into bookings.

    If your listing is vague, your AI becomes vague.
    If your listing is precise, structured, and complete, your AI becomes powerful.

    This episode explores exactly how that works.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why your Business Description is the #1 source of truth for your AI
    • How your description directly trains your AI to answer real customer questions
    • What happens when your description is too short, vague, or incomplete
    • The exact structure that produces the best AI responses
    • Why hours, address, services, pricing, policies, and tags matter for AI quality
    • How partial pricing dramatically improves trust and conversion
    • How promotions turn your AI into an active sales and upsell engine
    • Why outdated information silently destroys customer trust and performance

    Real examples discussed:

    • A customer asking “How much does balayage cost?”
    • A caller wanting to know if the business is open right now
    • A new client asking about cancellation policies
    • A prospect comparing services between multiple businesses
    • A customer asking about parking, accessibility, or languages spoken
    • An AI proactively mentioning current promotions to increase bookings

    Your GetOblic listing functions as:

    • A customer service knowledge base
    • A sales script
    • A multilingual AI receptionist
    • A 24/7 conversion engine
    • A trust signal for both users and search engines

    If a customer might ask it on the phone, your listing should already contain the answer.

    This episode shows you exactly how to structure your listing so your AI performs at its highest level.

  • Ep. 1 - AI Voice Receptionist for Local Businesses: Unlimited Calls, Unlimited Minutes, $59/Month (GetOblic)
    Jan 13 2026

    GetOblic Voice Receptionist: Unlimited Calls, Unlimited Minutes, Only $59/Month — A No-Brainer for Every Local Business

    In this first episode of the GetOblic Podcast, we dive deep into how the GetOblic AI Voice Receptionist works in real-world situations — and why it’s quickly becoming an essential tool for local businesses.

    Phone calls are still the #1 conversion channel for most service businesses. Yet missed calls, interruptions, and after-hours requests continue to cost businesses real revenue every single day.

    This episode explores how a voice-first AI receptionist changes that.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How the GetOblic AI receptionist answers real inbound phone calls
    • How it explains services, pricing, and availability clearly to customers
    • How it books appointments and qualifies prospects
    • How it captures leads when the business is closed or unavailable
    • How it handles FAQs like hours, location, policies, and special requests
    • Why unlimited calls and unlimited minutes matter for real businesses
    • Why $59/month is often less than the value of a single missed call

    Real use cases discussed:

    • A client calling after hours to book an appointment
    • A prospect asking detailed pricing questions
    • A customer calling while the business owner is busy with another client
    • A new lead calling for the first time and being guided professionally

    The GetOblic AI receptionist isn’t designed to replace humans.
    It’s designed to protect your time, capture every opportunity, and deliver a consistent, professional experience to every caller — 24/7.

    If your business depends on phone calls, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about customer communication.
