Scorpion's Convert platform promises AI-powered lead conversion: chat on your website, automated follow-up, scheduling, the whole intake stack handled by software.
The pitch is real. The pricing is not published. Ask about the contract before signing.
If you're a law firm or contractor evaluating Scorpion Convert, this article compares the options and what to ask providers.
What Scorpion Convert Actually Does
Before comparing alternatives, it's worth being specific about what Scorpion Convert is and is not.
Convert is Scorpion's AI-powered lead conversion layer. It sits on top of your website and does a few things: it engages visitors via chat, captures form submissions, routes leads to scheduling, and runs automated follow-up sequences. The goal is to turn website traffic into booked appointments without your front desk doing manual follow-up.
Service businesses may lose website leads when follow-up is slow. If someone fills out a form and hears back much later, they may already have booked elsewhere.
What Convert is not: it's not an answering service. It's not a phone AI. It lives on your website, not on your phone line. That distinction matters. We'll come back to it.
Scorpion also does not sell Convert as a standalone product. It's part of their broader platform, which means you can't pay for Convert without also paying for Scorpion's SEO, website hosting, and ad management. You're buying the whole system.
The Scorpion Convert Pricing Problem
Scorpion does not publish Convert pricing. This is by design. Their sales process routes you through a discovery call before any numbers appear.
Here's what Scorpion's own FAQ says about cost and terms:
Hook Agency publishes Local SEO from $2,800/month and "AI-Enhanced SEO" at $2,000/month as an add-on to SEO. Ask Scorpion for its own pricing and contract terms.
What You're Actually Paying For vs. What You Need
This is a question businesses should ask before signing: what parts of Scorpion's platform do you actually need?
Scorpion's platform includes website hosting, SEO, paid ads management, reputation management, AI chat (Convert), and reporting, all centralized. For a multi-location business, that bundling has value. One platform, one dashboard, one invoice.
For a small law firm or contractor, check whether the platform's features match your business needs. Consider what the lead conversion problem looks like in your business:
The website gap
Someone lands on your site in the evening and has a question. Without chat or an instant response mechanism, they may leave. Convert addresses this.
The phone gap
Someone calls your business while you are with a client, and the call goes to voicemail. They may call another firm. This is a different problem, and it needs an AI that answers the phone.
The follow-up gap
A form submission sits in your inbox overnight. By morning, that lead may have scheduled with someone who responded sooner. Automated text follow-up can help.
Scorpion now markets an AI voice assistant inside Convert. If your primary lead source is inbound calls, ask whether the voice assistant is in the package you're quoted and what it costs on its own.
The Alternative Comparison Table
Here's how the options stack up for law firms and contractors evaluating Scorpion Convert:
| Platform | Monthly Cost | Contract | What's Included | Phone AI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scorpion (with Convert) | Not published | Ask for terms | Website, SEO, Ads, AI chat, AI voice assistant | Yes |
| Hook Agency SEO + AEO add-on | $4,800/mo ($2,800 SEO + $2,000 AEO) | None stated | SEO + "AI-Enhanced SEO" | No |
| Boxi Marketing: Starter | $497/mo | Month-to-month | Google Business Profile, review automation | No |
| Boxi Marketing: Growth | $1,497/mo | Month-to-month | Ads management, AI follow-up, review gen | Optional |
| Boxi Marketing: Scale | $2,997/mo | Month-to-month | Full AI stack, AEO, receptionist included | Yes |
| Boxi Attorney: Starter | $697/mo | Month-to-month | GBP, reviews, legal-vertical SEO | No |
| Boxi Attorney: Growth | $1,997/mo | Month-to-month | Ads, AI intake, review automation | Optional |
| Boxi Attorney: Scale | $3,997/mo | Month-to-month | Full AI stack, AEO, receptionist included | Yes |
| AI Receptionist only | $497–$1,997/mo | Month-to-month | Phone AI, missed call text-back, intake | Yes |
The AI Receptionist standalone
Boxi offers AI Receptionist as a standalone service starting at $497/month. If your only problem is the phone gap (missed calls converting to lost leads), this addresses that without buying a full marketing platform.
Attorney-specific tiers
Legal clients have intake compliance considerations that generic marketing plans don't account for. The attorney tiers include legal-vertical positioning and intake handling built around how law firms actually work.
AEO vs. SEO
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is included in Boxi's Scale plans, not sold as a separate add-on. As AI search (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews) captures more legal and home service queries, AEO is the mechanism that gets your practice cited by those systems. No other tier in the comparison table includes this by default.
Contract Terms and Risk for Law Firms
The contract structure deserves its own section because law firms face a specific version of this risk.
Legal marketing has a longer feedback loop than contractor marketing. The time to signed cases depends on case type and market. A family law firm may see faster conversion than an estate planning firm.
A long-term commitment means you may be paying before you have reliable data on whether the service converts leads in your market. Ask how to exit if it is not working.
With month-to-month terms, you can adjust, pause, or exit under the agreement. That flexibility can matter when the investment cycle is long and results take time to confirm.
The standard objection is: "Month-to-month means the agency won't commit." The honest answer is: month-to-month is a forcing function. If the system isn't producing results worth keeping, you shouldn't be locked in.
What Operational AI Looks Like vs. Platform AI
Scorpion Convert, like most enterprise marketing platforms, is platform AI: software that manages and routes leads within Scorpion's ecosystem. The AI serves the platform's workflow.
Operational AI is different. The distinction comes down to what the AI does for your customer, not your vendor's platform.
Platform AI example
A lead fills out a form on your Scorpion-hosted website. Convert assigns a lead score, routes it to your dashboard, and triggers a follow-up email sequence. Your team sees it in the Scorpion CRM.
Operational AI example
A lead calls your firm after hours. You don't answer. The AI picks up, identifies the caller as a potential PI case, captures contact and injury details, sends a text confirmation, and places the lead in your intake queue with context. Your intake coordinator sees a qualified record when they next review the queue.
For law firms and contractors whose primary lead source is phone calls (not form submissions), operational AI addresses the actual revenue gap. Platform AI manages it after the lead is already in your system. See the AI receptionist vs. answering services breakdown for a deeper look.
What Happens to Your Data When You Leave Scorpion
This is a question most businesses ask too late.
Scorpion's FAQ says that when you leave after your contract, it transfers key accounts and website content back to you, and you'll need another vendor to rebuild the site on a platform of your choosing. Budget for that rebuild.
If you leave Scorpion, its FAQ says you may need another vendor to rebuild the site on a platform of your choosing. Budget for that rebuild.
Ask these questions before you sign any Scorpion agreement:
- →Who owns the website files at contract end?
- →Can I export CRM and lead data in a portable format?
- →Who retains ownership of Google Ads and Facebook Ads accounts?
- →What happens to review responses and reputation management history?
The answers will tell you whether you're making a long-term investment or creating a dependency.
The Specific Case for Law Firms Leaving Scorpion Convert
If you've been using Scorpion Convert and are evaluating options, here's what the transition typically looks like.
What works
Scorpion Convert's chat functionality engages website visitors. If you have high website traffic and need chat coverage outside business hours, that part of the platform may help.
What doesn't
The Convert platform sits inside Scorpion's ecosystem. That's both its strength and its limitation. If the broader Scorpion relationship (the SEO, the ads, the account management) isn't delivering, you can't keep Convert and leave the rest. It's an all-or-nothing platform.
The data problem
Law firms who leave Scorpion report difficulty extracting lead history, intake records, and chat transcripts in portable formats. If your matter management workflow depends on Scorpion's CRM, untangling it takes time and carries risk during the transition.
The gap when you leave
If you cancel Scorpion and don't have a replacement AI chat or intake layer ready, you may see a drop in after-hours lead capture while you set up alternatives. Plan the transition before you cancel.

The Contractor Version of This Problem
Contractors face the Scorpion Convert question differently than law firms.
For most contractors (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing), the primary lead source is not web form submissions. It's phone calls. Someone's AC went out. They search Google, find three options, and call the one at the top of the map pack. If that call goes to voicemail, they dial the next number.
Scorpion Convert's AI chat helps if someone is researching your services or comparing options. It does not help when someone needs an emergency repair right now and calls rather than fills out a form.
The missed call text-back feature addresses this specifically. When an inbound call goes unanswered, the AI sends a text promptly: "Hey, looks like we missed your call. How can we help?" That keeps the conversation alive instead of losing the lead to the next contractor on the list.
Missed calls can mean missed leads
When your calls go unanswered, potential customers may contact another provider. Ask whether your marketing plan addresses missed calls.

Side-by-Side: Scorpion Convert vs. Boxi AI Receptionist
These two products solve adjacent but different problems. Here's the direct comparison:
| Scorpion Convert | Boxi AI Receptionist | |
|---|---|---|
| What it covers | Website chat + form capture | Inbound phone calls + missed calls |
| When it activates | Visitor on your website | Call goes unanswered |
| Response medium | Web chat, email follow-up | SMS text-back, phone intake |
| Contract | Ask for terms | Month-to-month |
| Starting price | Not published | $497/mo (standalone) |
| Standalone purchase | Not published | Yes |
| Data ownership | Site rebuilt after leaving (its FAQ) | Your accounts |
| AEO included | AI search built into Ranking AI | Yes (Growth and Scale) |
Neither product replaces the other. They address different gaps. A business with website traffic and phone volume may benefit from both. Compare the pricing against your needs and location.
Who This Decision Comes Down To
After the pricing, the contracts, and the feature comparison, the decision usually breaks along these lines:
Scorpion Convert makes sense if
- ✓You run multi-location operations
- ✓You want a single vendor for website, SEO, ads, and lead conversion
- ✓You can commit to Scorpion's proposed term and wait for results
- ✓You're comfortable rebuilding the site on another platform if you leave (per its FAQ)
A Boxi alternative makes sense if
- ✓You want to see the price before a sales call
- ✓You want month-to-month terms and a clear way to exit
- ✓You want AI that operates on your phone line, not just your website
- ✓You need AEO positioning included, not as a future add-on
- ✓You own your website, your ad accounts, and your lead data outright
The honest framing: Scorpion built Convert for businesses that can absorb the contract terms and benefit from platform consolidation. Check whether the same product fits your needs and budget.
How to Evaluate Any AI Lead Conversion Tool
Before committing to any platform (Scorpion Convert or otherwise), these questions separate real answers from pitch.
"What channel does your AI operate on?"
Website chat is one channel. Phone is a different channel. Text is a third. Ask specifically where the AI engages your customer, not just what it can do.
"What happens to my data if I leave?"
Ask for the specific data export process. Not a general assurance. Lead records, chat transcripts, ad account ownership. Know the exit path before you're on the inside.
"What does success look like?"
Any platform should give you measurable outcomes. If the answer is "SEO takes time," ask what they are measuring in the meantime.
"Is the AI doing something for my customer, or for your workflow?"
Platform AI automates the vendor's process. Operational AI does something your customer experiences directly. Push for specific examples.
"What are your contract terms? The exact language?"
Not "we're flexible." The actual notice period, early termination clause, and auto-renewal terms.

The Bottom Line on Scorpion Convert
Scorpion Convert is a real product solving a real problem: website visitors who don't convert into booked appointments. For businesses at the right size and budget, the platform integration has value.
The right choice depends on your firm's or business's needs. Review the proposed terms, platform features, and price before deciding.
The alternative isn't "do nothing." Consider whether AI on your phone line fits your business, and review website and data ownership along with the contract terms.
