You Have Options.
Here's What They Actually Cost You.
We aren't the only way to grow your business. But before you make a decision, let's look at the real math behind your alternatives.
1. Stratara vs. Hiring a Receptionist
If you truly want a human relationship manager or a large in-house team, Stratara may not be the right fit. But for most local businesses who just need calls answered and leads captured, this is the math.
Human Receptionist
- $35,000–$45,000/year salary + benefits
- Only covers standard business hours
- Can only handle one call at a time
- Sick days, vacations, and turnover costs
Stratara Systems
- A fraction of the cost ($797/mo)
- Available 24/7/365, nights and weekends
- Handles unlimited simultaneous calls
- Never calls in sick, zero turnover
2. Stratara vs. Paid Ads
Paid Ads gives you traffic — but if no one answers the phone, you've wasted the spend. The missed call problem means most businesses convert only a fraction of the leads they pay for.
Stratara captures the leads you're already generating but losing. Ads bring them in, Stratara makes sure they don't walk out the door.

of paid leads are wasted when calls go to voicemail
3. Stratara vs. Doing Nothing
Managing it yourself might feel free, but missed calls have a hard cost. If you get 30 calls a week and miss the industry average (62%), here is what doing nothing is costing you.

4. Stratara vs. Other Agencies
Other marketing agencies sell traffic, ads, and social media posts. They focus on getting people to look at your business.
Stratara builds systems — AI receptionists, automated follow-up, review generation, and appointment booking — that work around the clock whether you're running ads or not.
"We're not competing for your marketing budget; we're replacing the broken process that's wasting it."
The Honest Disclaimer
Stratara isn't right for every business. If you have a full in-house team, a dedicated sales department, and no problem with missed calls — you probably don't need us. But if you're losing leads every week because your systems can't keep up, that's exactly the problem we fix.
