People now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity for recommendations. The assistant can name you. It cannot knock on your door. Usher Up is the door.
"Want me to contact them for you?" When the person says yes, the request lands in your inbox with the whole conversation attached.
A customer asks an assistant who to hire. Here is what happens next, with and without Usher Up.
The video has music and sound effects but no narration. Here is everything it shows, in order.
Four steps. You only do the first one.
Tell us your business name, services, hours and where to send leads. Your contact page is live right away. If you can, add one snippet to your website so assistants find it there too.
They describe what they need. The assistant recommends you and offers to make contact.
The assistant asks permission to share their name, contact details and a summary of the chat. If they say no, nothing is sent.
An email, a webhook, or a record in your CRM. You reply by phone or email, the way you always have.
Not a form submission with a name and a phone number. A handoff: what the person asked for, what came up, how urgent it is, and proof they agreed to be contacted.
Wants a price quote for water heater replacement. Needs a reply today.
"I need a quote to replace a 50 gallon water heater this week."
Compared tank and tankless. Settled on a 50 gallon tank unit. Wants a price and an install date.

No. Your contact page is live the moment you confirm your email, with nothing added to your website. There is one optional step: a short snippet for one page of your site, so assistants that read your site know the page exists. Anyone who can edit the site can paste it in, and on Squarespace, Wix or WordPress it goes in the header code box. If nobody on your side edits the site, forward the snippet to whoever built it. The whole thing is a copy and paste.
Today, any assistant that browses the web can send people to your hosted contact page. Assistants with Usher Up installed as a tool, over the open MCP standard, can hand off on the spot. We publish a policy for assistant makers and keep this answer current as each one adds support.
No. The assistant must confirm the customer said yes before Usher Up accepts the request. Requests without that confirmation are rejected and nothing is stored.
Starter is free and delivers three handoffs a month. Paid plans are $29 and $79 a month, priced per month and never per lead. See pricing.
One accepted request from an assistant or your hosted contact page, delivered to you. Requests we reject for missing consent or bad data do not count.
On Starter, the first three handoffs each month are delivered in full. Any that arrive after that are held, and we email you what is waiting: the kind of request, how urgent it is, and what it is about. Upgrade and every held one is delivered the same minute. On paid plans we keep delivering and email you about moving up. All the rules are on the pricing page.
On Cloudflare's network, encrypted, for 90 days, then it is deleted. You can ask us to delete any handoff sooner. The details are in our privacy policy.
This part is for the technical reader; business owners can skip it. Usher Up is an MCP server at https://usherup.com/mcp with one tool, usher_up_contact, and a plain HTTPS endpoint described at https://usherup.com/openapi.json. Handoffs can also be delivered to your own systems by signed webhook. Start with the assistant policy; it has the endpoints, the consent rules, and a sample business to test against.

}'Usher Up is built by Aliso LLC, the same small company behind Web-Cited, which tracks how AI assistants describe your business. Usher Up handles the moment after that: when the person is ready to talk to you.
It is early. If you run a small business, open your door today; it takes a few minutes and Starter is free.
