While Silicon Valley races to automate every customer interaction, Perceptionist.com is doubling down on the opposite: a human-first call center for small businesses. With $2.9M in revenue and just 29 employees, they're proving that in a world of chatbots, the phone still rings—and someone still needs to answer it.

"They're not selling software—they're selling the absence of a missed call, and that's a $2.9M bet on human connection."

The team structure confirms this human-centric approach. You have Amy Robinson (Training & Development) and Julie Taylor (Administrative Manager) alongside just one Software Engineer (Victor Flores). That's a 28:1 human-to-tech ratio. They're not building features; they're building processes. Their 'careers' page links to a scheduling/customer service agent role, not a developer role. They're hiring people, not code.

• They own 'perceptionist' (160 monthly searches) but not broad keywords—suggesting a referral-heavy, reputation-driven model
• The 100% US traffic (undefined but implied by service model) means they're not competing globally, just dominating locally
• Their social presence is minimal—Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube—but not aggressive, suggesting word-of-mouth over viral growth
