What is the free scan?

You describe what's eating your week. Seismomedia emails back a written diagnosis within 48 hours: what to automate, what to skip, rough effort, rough cost. No call. No pitch. If there's nothing worth building, we say so. About 1 in 3 scans end that way.

How fast can Seismomedia build?

Productized work (Front Desk Agent, SEO Agent) ships in 5 business days. Custom AI builds also ship in 5 business days. The free scan turns around in 48 hours. We do not run 90-day discovery phases.

What is the Front Desk Agent?

The Front Desk Agent is a custom voice and text agent (also known as an AI receptionist) for service businesses. It answers every inbound call, qualifies the caller, and books appointments straight onto the calendar. Trained on the business's hours, services, pricing, and booking rules. Lives on the business's own number. Live in 5 business days. $2,500 setup + $297/month.

What is the SEO Agent and how is it different from traditional SEO?

The SEO Agent is AI SEO software that monitors rankings on Google AND visibility in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Most traditional SEO tools only optimize for Google. The SEO Agent fixes technical SEO issues, ships optimized content every week, and tracks AI search citations. Productized, month to month, cancel anytime. Plans range from $297/month (Starter) to $997/month (Enterprise).

Can I buy directly without a discovery call?

Yes. Front Desk Agent and SEO Agent both have buy buttons that take you straight to checkout via Stripe. No discovery call. No sales sequence. The free scan is the consultation, and even that runs in writing.

What if the build doesn't work?

Every custom build carries a 30-day performance guarantee. If it doesn't save 10+ hours a week within 30 days, Seismomedia rebuilds it free. Subscriptions are month to month and cancel anytime.
