A 24/7 front desk for Moncton businesses — never miss a call.
Key takeaways
- We work with Greater Moncton businesses — Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview — to answer every call, book every job and chase every review, done-for-you and fully remote.
- Small businesses answer only about 37.8% of their calls live; the rest ring out, and 85% of those callers never try again. A 24/7 front desk closes that gap.
- Bilingual EN/FR is a real local edge. Moncton has been officially bilingual since 2002 and New Brunswick is Canada's only bilingual province, so a front desk that books in both languages wins jobs others lose.
- One vendor, the whole stack: 24/7 Front Desk $497/mo, Review Engine $199/mo, Automation $449/mo, or the Everything bundle at $999/mo. Start with a free demo and a free Automation Audit.
If you run a local business in Greater Moncton, the phone is your storefront — and most owners are losing customers through it without ever seeing it happen. A caller who reaches voicemail almost never tries again; they just dial the next shop on the list. Adventure Movement Studio fixes that for Moncton-area businesses: a bilingual 24/7 front desk that answers every call, books the appointment, asks happy customers for a Google review, and automates the follow-up. One vendor, the whole stack, done for you.
We are remote by design. Greater Moncton is home to roughly 158,000 people across Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview, and it has been the fastest-growing part of New Brunswick for years. You do not need an agency down the street — you need a system that never sleeps. Here is exactly what we set up.
Who we help in Moncton
If customers call you, book you, or review you, we can help. We work with local service businesses all over Greater Moncton, including:
- Barbershops and hair salons — book cuts and colours while your hands are full.
- Plumbers, roofers, HVAC and electricians — catch emergency calls from the job site, day or night.
- Med spas, dental and aesthetics clinics — fill the calendar and cut no-shows.
- Gyms, studios and trainers — sign people up the moment they call.
- Cafes, restaurants and local retail — never miss a reservation or a catering enquiry.
- Auto shops, cleaners, landscapers and trades — quote and book without stopping work.
Different trades, same problem: one phone, a few hands, and a 24-hour clock. The fix is the same too.
Never miss a call: a 24/7 front desk
The data on missed calls is blunt. A 2024 study by 411 Locals found that only 37.8% of calls to small businesses were answered by a live person — meaning roughly 62% go unanswered. Of those callers, about 85% never call back and around 62% immediately phone a competitor. Industry analysis pegs the average annual cost of missed calls at about $126,000 per small business.
Our 24/7 Front Desk ($497/mo) answers every call — after hours, during the lunch rush, on weekends, and even the second caller while you are already on the line. It greets people, answers your common questions, and books straight into your calendar. In a bilingual market like Moncton, it does all of that in English or French, automatically. For the full breakdown of what this kind of setup runs, see our guide on how much an AI receptionist costs.
Online booking and reminders
Plenty of your customers would rather not call at all. Around 70% of consumers prefer to book online, and a large share of bookings — roughly four in ten — happen after you have closed for the day. If the only way to reach you is a phone that rings out at 9 p.m., those jobs go to whoever has a "Book now" button.
We set up online booking that takes appointments 24/7, syncs to your calendar, and sends automatic text and email reminders so people actually show up. Fewer no-shows, a fuller schedule, and no more phone tag — all running in the background while you work.
More Google reviews
In a connected city like Moncton, your reputation is your reviews. As of 2026, about 97% of consumers read online reviews for local businesses before they choose one. More stars and more recent reviews mean more calls — it is the closest thing to free advertising a local business has.
Our 5-star Review Engine ($199/mo) automatically asks happy customers for a Google review at the right moment, makes it one tap to leave, and routes unhappy feedback to you privately first so you can fix it. Over a few months, your rating climbs and you start showing up ahead of the competition. Our guide on how to get more Google reviews walks through the playbook.
Automate the busywork
Speed wins customers. Businesses that reply to a new lead within 5 minutes are up to 21 times more likely to qualify it than those that wait 30 minutes, and 78% of customers buy from whoever responds first. Most local businesses simply cannot hit that by hand.
Our Business Automation ($449/mo) handles it for you: missed-call text-back that replies in seconds, instant responses to web and social enquiries, no-show and review follow-ups, and reminders that go out on their own. It is the difference between "we'll call you back" and "you're booked." If you want the bigger picture, read how to automate your small business.

It is quick and fully remote. First, book a free demo or call our live demo line at +1 (506) 308-9529 to hear the front desk in action. Next, we run your free Automation Audit and map your calls, booking and reviews. Then we build, connect and test everything for you, you approve it, and we switch it on — usually within days.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with Moncton businesses?
Yes. Adventure Movement Studio works with local service businesses across Greater Moncton — Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview — from barbershops and salons to plumbers, roofers, med spas, gyms and cafes. We set up your 24/7 front desk, online booking, reviews and automation done-for-you, so every call is answered and every lead is followed up.
Do I need to be there in person, or is this remote?
It is fully remote and done-for-you. We build and run everything online and connect it to your existing phone number, calendar and Google profile. There is nothing to install and no equipment to buy. You keep doing the work in front of you while the system answers calls, books appointments and texts people back around the clock.
Is the front desk bilingual in English and French?
Yes. Bilingual EN/FR service is one of our biggest advantages for Moncton. The city has been officially bilingual since 2002 and New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province, so a front desk that greets and books callers in both English and French wins jobs that an English-only competitor loses. We set up your answering, booking and texts to work in both languages.
What does it cost?
Transparent, flat pricing with no setup games. A website is $1,500 one-time. The 24/7 Front Desk is $497/mo, the 5-star Review Engine is $199/mo, social media is $199/mo, and Business Automation is $449/mo. The Everything bundle is $999/mo and is the best value because it includes the whole stack. You can also start with a free demo and a free Automation Audit.
How fast can you set it up?
Most Moncton-area setups go live within days, not months. We start with a free Automation Audit to map your calls, booking and reviews, then we build, connect and test everything for you. You approve it, we flip it on, and your front desk starts answering and booking right away.
Do you serve the rest of New Brunswick, Canada and the United States?
Yes. We work with businesses across all of New Brunswick — Saint John, Fredericton and beyond — as well as anywhere in Canada and the United States. Because everything is built and run remotely, your location does not change what we can do. Our live demo line is a local 506 number at +1 (506) 308-9529.
