A 24/7 front desk for Québec City businesses — never miss a call.

If you run a business in Québec City — a salon in Saint-Roch, a clinic in Sainte-Foy, an auto shop in Limoilou, a restaurant in Vieux-Québec — the calls you can't get to are quietly costing you customers. Adventure Movement Studio works with Québec City-area businesses to fix that: a bilingual 24/7 front desk that answers every call, an online booking system, a review engine that brings in more 5-star Google reviews, and automation that handles the busywork. It's done-for-you, one vendor, the whole stack — and it runs in French first.

Who we help in Québec City

We work remotely with local service businesses across the Québec City region — the city itself plus Lévis, Beauport, Charlesbourg, Sainte-Foy and the surrounding area. That includes barbershops and salons, med spas and clinics, dentists, auto repair shops, home-services trades (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, cleaning), restaurants and cafés, and professional services. If your customers call, book and expect a fast, French-speaking response, you're who we build for.

Because everything is delivered remotely, you don't need to be in a particular neighbourhood or host an in-person visit. We connect to your existing phone number, calendar and Google profile, build the system, and hand it to you working. Our guide on how to automate your small business walks through the full picture.

Never miss a call: a bilingual 24/7 front desk

The biggest leak in most local businesses is the phone. Across studies of small-business call handling, only about 37.8% of incoming calls are answered by a live person — meaning roughly 62% go unanswered — and about 85% of callers who land in voicemail never call back. They simply phone the next business on the list.

Our 24/7 front desk — a virtual receptionist / AI answering service — picks up every call, day or night, answers common questions, and books the appointment straight into your calendar. Crucially, it works in French by default, greeting and serving callers in their language and switching to English when someone prefers it. For a Québec City audience that's not a nice-to-have: it's how your customers expect to be treated, and how the law expects you to operate.

Why French-first matters here

Quebec's Charter of the French Language (strengthened by Bill 96 / Law 14) requires businesses to be able to inform and serve customers in French — in person, by telephone, and online. A front desk that answers in French, confirms bookings in French, and follows up in French keeps you compliant and makes a better first impression in a predominantly French-speaking market. When an English-speaking visitor or out-of-province customer calls, the same system handles them in English. One setup, both languages, no awkward gaps.

Online booking and reminders

Answering the call is half the job; capturing the booking is the other half. We set up online booking so customers can reserve a slot themselves — from your website, a link, or right after the call — and the front desk can book on their behalf. Automated reminders then cut no-shows by texting and emailing customers before their appointment, in French or English to match the customer. Fewer empty chairs, fewer forgotten appointments, less phone tag.

More Google reviews, on autopilot

In Québec City, like everywhere, reviews decide who gets the call. Around 63.6% of consumers read Google reviews before choosing a business, and the vast majority trust them. Our 5-star Review Engine automatically asks happy customers for a review at the right moment, points them straight to your Google profile, and helps you respond — building the kind of bilingual review presence that wins local searches. Our guide on how to get more Google reviews covers the playbook in detail.

Automate the busywork

Beyond the phone, a lot of your day is repetitive: following up on quotes, texting missed callers back, chasing no-shows, sending review requests, re-booking lapsed customers. Business Automation handles those flows for you so nothing slips. It matters because speed wins: research published in the Harvard Business Review found that responding to a lead within 5 minutes makes it up to 21 times more likely to qualify than waiting 30, and 78% of customers buy from whoever responds first. Automation puts you first in line, automatically.
