What does Aakar Tech do?
We give local businesses the three things a customer checks before calling: a website that works on a phone, a Google listing that is right, and a phone that gets answered. Websites, Google Business Profile setup, GreetQ AI phone answering, RateLocal review requests, local SEO and small automations, built and run from Abbotsford, BC.
Do you only work with Abbotsford businesses?
Abbotsford is home. We work with businesses across the Fraser Valley, from Hope to Langley, Maple Ridge and White Rock, and we're happy to meet in person there. Metro Vancouver, including Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, Delta and Vancouver, is done remotely, which works fine because most of the work is online.
How much does a website cost?
$2,400 for one trade in one city with your Google listing set up, $4,200 for several services or cities, and custom builds from $6,000. Every price is written down before work starts, and the site is yours.
I am just starting a business. Where do I begin?
With the Launch Desk. Business in a box, $3,200, sets up your website, business email, Google listing, WhatsApp Business, booking link, payments, invoicing and review requests in one week, and hands you a one-page guide. After that, a monthly support desk answers any question the next business day.
What is the free check-up?
A short review of your missed calls, website, and Google listing. You’ll hear what’s leaking jobs and what to fix first. If things look solid, we’ll say so — no pressure pitch.
Can you set up AI phone answering for my business?
Yes. We configure AI reception so after-hours and missed calls still get answered, job details are captured, and your team gets a text when the call ends. Built on the same stack as GreetQ, our own AI phone product.
I tried an AI tool before and it didn't stick. Why is this different?
Usually the tool was fine and the setup never happened — configuring it became another job for the busiest person in the building. We build the workflow for you, run it on your real customers first, and only automate work that is rule-shaped enough to run without you checking it. Judgement calls stay with you on purpose.
What can you actually automate in my business?
The repeating admin that eats evenings: generating and chasing invoices, routing new enquiries so nothing is lost, day-3 and day-7 quote follow-ups, instant alerts when a high-value request comes in, and new-customer welcome, booking and reminder flows. We map your week first, then automate the one costing you the most hours.
Who will I talk to?
Harman — the founder who designs and builds the work. No junior handoffs and no account-manager chain.
Can you set up private AI for law firms and clinics in BC?
Yes. Private document search starts from $5,000. We settle in writing whether it runs on hardware you control or on a dedicated Canadian server, and nothing is sent to a public AI.
How much does private document AI cost?
From $5,000, depending on how many documents, who needs access and where it runs. You get a flat written price before anything is installed.
Is this different from ChatGPT or Copilot?
Completely. Public AI tools send your prompts — and anything you paste — to their servers on terms you did not negotiate. A private build indexes only the files you authorize and answers with citations from your own documents, and it runs on a server you control, in Canada.
Are review asks and outreach CASL-compliant?
Yes. We only message people with a real relationship to your business — finished jobs, existing customers, opted-in leads. Every flow includes opt-out, and we do not buy cold lists or run spam blasts.
