You could talk to every visitor on your site, answer their questions, sell your services, and book them — all without a second of your time.

  1. Tell Clio about your business

    Your services, prices, and hours. Clio only uses what you give it — it never guesses.

  2. Add one line to your website

    Paste one small snippet. Works on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress — any site.

  3. Connect your Google Calendar

    Clio checks your live availability and only offers times you actually have open.

  4. Bookings land in your calendar

    Customers chat, pick a time, and get a confirmation email. You get notified the moment they book.

You're probably losing 1 out of every 3 customers.

Someone called and got voicemail. Someone texted and waited two days. Someone tried you at 9pm and gave up. They didn't leave because they didn't want you. They left because someone else answered first. You could talk to, sell to, schedule, and inform every potential website visitor.

"They found me online but booked someone else."

Clio answers in under 5 seconds. It answers their questions and holds their spot — before they even look at another website.

"My scheduling link just sits there. Nobody uses it."

A scheduling link only works if someone already made up their mind. Clio talks with them first — then books the time.

"I can't take calls while I'm doing the job."

You don't have to. Clio answers while you work.

"I'm worried the AI will say something wrong."

Clio only says what you tell it to say. If it doesn't know something, it says so and takes a message. It never makes things up.

"Booking one job takes five back-and-forth messages."

Clio talks with them, checks your real calendar, and books the job — all in one chat.

"I never follow up. Those leads just go cold."

Clio sends confirmations, reminders, and review requests on its own. You never have to lift a finger.

Why would you need Clio?

My name's Jonah. I tune pianos.

A few years ago, someone messaged my website asking what a "pitch raise" was. Another asked if they could just talk to me about my certification. My own site was full of marketing language, trying to sound impressive, and it was just confusing people instead of booking them.

Meanwhile I was actually out tuning pianos. It's hard to explain your certification and hold a tuning hammer at the same time. I was bad at selling. Bad at informing. Bad at getting back to people. Bad at remembering to ask for a review. Bad at reminding customers it was time for their next tuning.

What I actually needed was a receptionist, a sales team, and a scheduling team, all in one person. I couldn't afford any of that for a one-person piano business.

But I could code.

So I built Clio to do all of it. Sell, inform, schedule, follow up, ask for reviews. For every single person who visited my site, not just the ones who happened to call at a good time.

If you're the one answering your own phone between jobs, or trying to master 50 skills just so your business can succeed, I built this for you.

Try it free for 14 days. If it's not for you, cancel. No card, no risk, no catch.

The only risk is waiting another week to find out what you're missing.

Jonah, founder of Clio

One plan. Every feature. No contracts.

A part-time receptionist costs $1,500/month or more. An answering service runs $300–500 and doesn't book appointments. Clio is $99/month and works 24 hours a day.

Questions businesses ask before signing up

Is this just another chatbot?

Generic chatbots route people to forms and FAQs. Clio has a booking conversation — it knows your exact services, checks your live calendar, and confirms appointments. The goal is a slot on your calendar, not a ticket in a queue.

I already have Calendly. Why would I need this?

Calendly works when a customer has already decided to book and just needs to pick a time. Most customers need a question answered first — price, what's included, your address. Clio handles that conversation, then books the time. They solve different problems.

What if my customers don't want to chat with a bot?

Most don't know or care — they just want a fast answer and a confirmed time. Clio responds in seconds, which beats voicemail and a two-day email reply. You can set the name and tone so it reads like your front desk.

What if the AI says something wrong about my business?

Clio only uses the information you give it during setup — your services, prices, hours, and policies. It doesn't pull from the internet or make assumptions. If a customer asks something Clio can't answer, it says so and takes their contact details for you.

How long does setup actually take?

About 10 minutes. Fill in your services and hours, paste one line of code on your site, and connect Google Calendar. After that, Clio is live.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Month-to-month. Cancel in two clicks from your dashboard. The 14-day trial requires no credit card.

What happens when my free trial ends?

You choose whether to subscribe. Nothing is charged automatically — the trial never collects a card. Your settings, services, and client history stay saved, so if you subscribe later you pick up right where you left off.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Setup is filling in a form about your business and pasting one snippet into your website — the same way you'd add a YouTube video. Site builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress all have a spot for it.

What Monday morning looks like once Clio is running.

Three bookings came in over the weekend. No missed calls to return. No follow-up texts to send. Your calendar is already filling for the week — and you haven't touched your phone yet.
