Automation agency for Vermont service businesses, working from Sacramento, California.
Diagnose, Build, Run: one system for a Vermont business that loses customers between the first call and the booked job, built and run remotely from Sacramento, California.
By Eugene Romanov·Published
Orium Studios, Sacramento, California, builds the Client Acquisition System for Vermont service businesses: the free check of where the business loses customers, the Client Acquisition Blueprint at $750, the AI receptionist, the CRM with follow-up, the pages that convert, and Run retainers from $750 a month. The work is done remotely, on your own accounts, at the same published prices as in California, for businesses in Burlington, South Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier and Essex.

SHT-02Site conditions
What the year looks like for a Vermont service business.
The trades and the season in Vermont
Rural, cold and small, with Burlington the one real metro and a ski-town economy of second homes whose owners live in another state. Heating runs the year, metal roofs shed the snow, and spring mud season decides when excavation can start.
The part of the system that matters most here
A second-home owner in New York or Connecticut reaches a Vermont contractor in writing and expects a written reply, so the CRM with follow-up and the pages that convert are the pieces that matter most. In winter the missed-call step takes over, when a heating call at night cannot wait.

SHT-03Working at a distance
How a Sacramento studio works for a business in Vermont.
The first call is a video call
A Blueprint or a build starts with a screen share in which you walk us through how the business gets customers today, from the first call to the booked job. Nothing on it needs anyone to be in the same room, and a Vermont business gets the same first week as one in Sacramento.
Everything lives on your own accounts
The phone number, the CRM, the domain, the ad accounts and the Stripe account are opened in your name and stay yours. We build inside them and hand over the keys; a client who stops working with us keeps everything running.
Hours you can plan around
Our hours are 9 am to 6 pm Pacific, Monday to Friday, which is noon to 9 pm Eastern time in Vermont.
The same published prices in every state
The free check costs nothing anywhere. The Client Acquisition Blueprint is $750 in Vermont as in California, Run retainers are $750 to $1,500 a month, and what moves a build price is the work in the scope, never the state it is in.
SHT-03AThe system
The Client Acquisition System, for Vermont businesses.
Three stages, Diagnose, Build and Run, and each one has a page of its own. Diagnose finds where the business leaks customers. Build puts up the pieces that stop the leak: the AI receptionist, the CRM with follow-up, and the pages that convert. Run works the channels every week for a flat fee. Any stage can be bought on its own; nothing is a condition of anything else.
- 01
The free check
Where the business is losing customers today: not found, nobody answers, nobody follows up. A written answer, the same day, with no call required.
- 02
Client Acquisition Blueprint, $750
Five business days inside how the business gets customers, and a written plan of what to build and in what order. Paid upfront as its own piece of work.
- 03
AI receptionist
For the hours the crew cannot be on the phone: takes the name, number and reason, reads the number back, and hands the lead to a person while it is still warm.
- 04
CRM and follow-up
One record per customer, follow-up that keeps going on business days, and a Monday report of leads and booked jobs by source.
- 05
The pages that convert
Pages that hand the lead to the system instead of to an inbox, with the phone number, the price and the next step where a visitor looks first.
- 06
Run retainers, $750 to $1,500 a month, multi-location from $2,500
One channel worked every week, or the full path from ad to booked job. A flat monthly fee, never a share of ad spend; the media is paid to Google or Meta directly.
SHT-05General notes
The questions a Vermont owner asks first.
- N01Do you work with service businesses in Vermont?
- Yes. Orium Studios works remotely from Sacramento, California for service businesses in every state, and Vermont is served on the same terms as California: a video first call, the system built on your own accounts, and the same published prices. In Vermont that means Burlington, South Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier and Essex and the towns between them.
- N02What are your hours in Vermont time?
- Our hours are 9 am to 6 pm Pacific, Monday to Friday, which is noon to 9 pm Eastern time in Vermont.
- N03Is the price different in Vermont?
- No. The Client Acquisition Blueprint is $750, Run retainers are $750 to $1,500 a month, and a build is priced by the work named in the scope. The ladder is published on the pricing page and is the same in every state.
- N04Do you need to visit the business?
- No. The walkthrough of how the business gets customers happens over a screen share, the build happens on your accounts, and the weekly Run report arrives in writing. A Vermont owner sees the same people and the same work as a Sacramento one.
- N05Do you know Vermont's rules for contractors?
- We do not give legal advice, and we do not pretend to know every state's licensing and consent rules by heart. What we do is put the rule you and your lawyer name into the system, so a licence number lands on every document on its own, a recording notice runs before it is needed, and the step cannot be skipped by accident.
- N06Which part of the system matters most for a Vermont business?
- A second-home owner in New York or Connecticut reaches a Vermont contractor in writing and expects a written reply, so the CRM with follow-up and the pages that convert are the pieces that matter most. In winter the missed-call step takes over, when a heating call at night cannot wait.
