24/7 VIRTUAL RECEPTIONISTS

Orange, CA answering service for calls, chats, and texts

Running a business in Orange can be a real challenge. Smith.ai’s professional receptionists answer your phone calls, book appointments, assist clients, block spam, and more — so you can focus on your work without missing any opportunities.

Virtual savings for every Orange business

Orange is one of the most delightful cities in the West, with diverse communities, delicious eateries, and stunning views. That’s why it comes as no surprise that the average price to rent an office in Orange is about $30 per sq.ft. That amounts to $4,500 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. Learn more about the differences between a full-time receptionist vs. a virtual receptionist.

True price of in-house workers in Orange

Popular cities like Orange often demand a higher wage for workers than the national average. Salaries for traditional in-house receptionists in Orange can cost anywhere from $34,000 to $48,000 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 $44,000/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.

Facts and figures

Despite the common misconception, Orange did not get its name from the citrus fruit. However, the city did later grow into the name when oranges became the premier crop in the early 1900s.

Legend has it that the name actually came down to a poker game. A few civic leaders couldn’t decide between Orange, Lemon, Almond, and Olive. So they bet on it in a poker game, and Orange won. There isn’t evidence that this legend is true, but the residents love telling this story.

Unlike many of the surrounding areas, this city is very unique because Orange decided to preserve many of its historic buildings. So most of the structures you see when visiting the Old Town District were built before 1920.

Every call is answered with 24/7 live agents

Unfortunately, in-house receptionists can only do so much. Most receptionists multitask, balancing their call answering responsibilities with other receptionist duties, like mail distribution or file organization. Even with multiple receptionists, phone calls can and will be missed when they call in sick, need time off, or are preoccupied with other projects. 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. 

Barring office restocks and coffee runs, virtual receptionists can do everything an in-house receptionist can, and then some. Smith.ai even offers 24/7 answering, so when your office is closed or your team is busy, your business will never have to miss out on another call, or another lead, again. Why not try it to see for yourself risk-free with our 14-day money-back guarantee?
