What is LUNA Systems?▼
LUNA Systems is a done-for-you business automation agency built for Australian service businesses. We design, build, and manage automation systems that handle the repetitive admin tasks draining your time — answering calls, booking appointments, chasing reviews, and following up with leads. Everything is customised to your specific business, industry, and workflow. We're not a software company selling logins; we build the system for you and make sure it works. Learn more about us.
What types of businesses do you work with?▼
We specialise in Australian service businesses — trades (plumbers, electricians, builders), health and wellness (clinics, gyms, physios), beauty (salons, spas), professional services (accountants, lawyers), automotive, and hospitality. If your business takes bookings, answers enquiries, and relies on reputation, automation will deliver measurable results. See our full list of services.
How is LUNA different from buying software myself?▼
Most business owners buy software subscriptions, spend weeks trying to set them up, and end up using 10% of the features. LUNA is completely done-for-you. We audit your business, design the automation strategy, build and configure everything, test it thoroughly, train your team, and provide ongoing support. You get a system that works from day one without the learning curve. See how it works.
How much does business automation cost?▼
Basic automation packages start from $300/month and cover essentials like missed call text back, online booking, and appointment reminders. Comprehensive systems including AI phone answering, website chatbot, CRM, review automation, and custom workflows range from $800 to $1,500/month. Setup fees start from $500 and can be waived with a 6-month commitment. Every package is customised — you only pay for what your business actually needs. View full pricing details.
Is there a lock-in contract?▼
No. LUNA operates on month-to-month agreements and you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. We offer a 6-month commitment option that waives the setup fee, but it's entirely optional. We'd rather you stay because the system delivers results, not because you're locked in. See pricing and terms.

What does an AI phone answering service actually do?▼
An AI phone answering service uses natural language processing to have real conversations with your callers — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It answers questions about your services and pricing, books appointments directly into your calendar, takes detailed messages, and routes emergency calls to your mobile instantly. Most callers can't tell they're speaking with AI because the voice sounds natural and professional. You set the rules for when the AI answers: all calls, after-hours only, or only when you're busy. Learn more about AI phone answering.
What is an AI chatbot and does my business need one?▼
An AI chatbot lives on your website and engages visitors in real-time conversation, 24/7. Unlike generic chatbots with scripted responses, ours is trained on your specific business — services, pricing, service areas, and FAQs. It qualifies leads by asking relevant questions, captures contact details, and books appointments while you sleep. If you get website traffic but not enough enquiries, a chatbot typically captures 15-25% more leads by engaging visitors who would otherwise leave without making contact. Learn more about AI chatbots.
Will the AI give wrong information about my business?▼
No. The AI only answers based on the information we train it with — your services, pricing, availability, and business rules. It never guesses or fabricates answers. If a question falls outside its training, it takes a detailed message, notifies you immediately via SMS, and offers the caller a callback. You review and refine the AI's knowledge base over time to make it even more accurate.
What is missed call text back?▼
When you miss a call, the system automatically sends the caller an SMS within 30 seconds acknowledging the missed call and keeping the conversation alive. The text includes your business name, a friendly message, and options to book online, leave details, or request a callback. This recovers an estimated 30-50% of leads that would otherwise be lost, because 85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back. Learn more about missed call text back.
How does review automation work?▼
After every completed job or appointment, the system automatically sends your customer a personalised SMS with a one-click link to leave a Google review. The timing is optimised — typically 2-4 hours after service delivery when satisfaction is highest. Most businesses see their review count grow by 3-5x within three months because the system asks consistently, every single time, without you remembering to do it manually. Learn more about review automation.
Getting Started
Getting Started
How does the onboarding process work?▼
It starts with a free 30-minute discovery call where we learn about your business, identify pain points, and recommend solutions. From there, we handle everything: system configuration, integration with your existing tools, thorough testing, and live training for you and your team. Most businesses are fully operational within 1-2 weeks for basic setups, or 2-4 weeks for comprehensive systems. See the full process.
How long does setup take?▼
Basic automation packages (missed call text back, booking, reminders) are typically live within 5-7 business days. Comprehensive systems with AI phone answering, chatbot configuration, CRM setup, data migration, and custom workflows take 2-4 weeks. We don't rush the process — every automation is tested with real scenarios before going live to make sure nothing breaks.
I'm not tech-savvy. Can I still use this?▼
Absolutely. We build the system for you and provide full training — live walkthroughs plus video guides you can revisit anytime. If you can use text messages and Facebook, you can use LUNA. Most clients are fully comfortable within a day or two. And if you ever get stuck, our support team is a message away. The whole point is to make your life simpler, not more complicated.
Can I start small and add more services later?▼
Yes — and most clients do exactly that. Many start with a basic package ($300-$600/month) covering missed call text back and booking automation, then add AI phone answering, review automation, or workflow automation as they see results. There's no penalty for upgrading, and we can add new features without rebuilding your system. Book a discovery call to get started.
Do I need to change my phone number or existing tools?▼
No. We integrate with your existing business phone number — your customers call the same number they always have. We also integrate with most popular tools and software, including Google Calendar, Outlook, ServiceM8, Tradify, Xero, Stripe, and many more. The goal is to enhance what you already use, not replace everything.

What tools and platforms does LUNA integrate with?▼
We integrate with most popular business tools including Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Stripe, Square, PayPal, Xero, MYOB, ServiceM8, Tradify, Fergus, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Google Business Profile, and many more. During the discovery call, we assess your current setup and design the best integration approach. If you use a niche tool, we can usually build a custom connection. Learn more about CRM and integrations.
Is my customer data secure?▼
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is controlled through role-based permissions, so only authorised team members can view sensitive information. For health practices, we comply with the Australian Privacy Act and handle only appointment and communication data — never clinical records. We don't sell or share your data with third parties, ever.
Can the system handle multiple staff members or locations?▼
Yes. Each team member can have their own calendar, availability, service offerings, and notification preferences. For multi-location businesses, we configure separate booking flows, phone routing, and reporting per location while keeping everything manageable from a single dashboard. The system scales with your team.
What happens if the AI can't handle a customer's request?▼
The AI is designed to never guess or provide incorrect information. When it encounters a question outside its training, it gracefully collects the caller's details, takes a thorough message, and notifies you immediately via SMS with a full summary. The customer is told someone will get back to them shortly. You can also set rules to route specific types of enquiries directly to your mobile. See how AI phone answering works.
Do you provide ongoing support after setup?▼
Yes. Your monthly fee includes ongoing support, system monitoring, and regular optimisation. As your business evolves — new services, changed hours, updated pricing — we update your automations to match. Many clients refine their workflows over the first few months as they discover new opportunities. You're never left to figure it out alone. Get in touch with our team.
