Lakewood is one of the most beautiful cities in the United States, with great mountain views, excellent schools, and diverse communities. That’s why it comes as no surprise that the average price to rent an office in Lakewood is about $23 per sq.ft. That amounts to nearly $3,500 for a small, 150 sq.ft. office! Adding in a receptionist’s office, which average around 40 sq.ft., can take up more space than necessary, shoveling more money towards rent and less money towards your business.
Virtual receptionists at Smith.ai always work remotely from a quiet home office, saving you office space and putting money right back into your pocket.

Popular cities like Lakewood often demand a higher wage for workers than the national average. Salaries for traditional in-house receptionists in Lakewood can cost anywhere from $23,000 to $36,000 annually. When you factor in costs for direct benefits, such as healthcare and 401K’s, and side benefits, such as commuter reimbursements and paid holidays, a full-time, in-house receptionist can cut deep into your budget.
The cost for a full-time, 24/7 receptionist at Smith.ai, however, starts at as little as $285/month, saving you up to $32,000/year on salary alone! Smith.ai adjusts to fit your business needs, not the other way around. Review Smith.ai’s flexible monthly plans and pricing.
Originally founded in 1889, Lakewood, Colorado is one of the most populated cities in the United States. Located in the center of the state, Lakewood proudly neighbors another major Colorado city: Denver.

The city is recognized as a nationwide leader in the healthcare industry and is considered a hot spot for sports, fashion, news, and technology. Lakewood remains one of the most influential cities in the U.S.
Unfortunately, in-house receptionists can only do so much. Most receptionists multitask answering phone calls with other receptionist duties, such as running errands and performing general office assistance. Even with multiple full-time receptionists, phone calls can and will be missed when they call in sick, need time off, are late due to traffic, are already on the line with a client, or are preoccupied with their other responsibilities. As much as 25% of calls come in after-hours and on weekends, so even beyond these regular interruptions to call answering, there are real numbers that affect your business.
While virtual receptionists may not be able to restock office supplies or grab you coffee, they can offer unlimited quality support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so that your business doesn’t have to stop when your in-office workers do.
