Local businesses

Turn missed calls and slow follow-up into booked revenue.

Practical AI systems for local businesses—built around your phones, inbox, calendar, and daily workflow.

Austin area: Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock, and Georgetown.

Does this sound familiar?

The problems we see in local businesses every week

  • Calls go unanswered after hours.
  • Hot leads cool off while you’re on the job.
  • Crews live in text threads and spreadsheets.
  • Owners can’t tell which marketing actually pays for itself.

What we build

Systems, not buzzwords

We connect the tools you already use (website, phone, SMS, email, calendar) into a small set of automations that run reliably. You get faster responses, cleaner handoffs, and less manual chasing—while keeping a human in the loop where it matters.

  • Lead capture automation
  • Instant SMS or chat response
  • Appointment booking flows
  • Review generation support
  • Internal workflow automation

How we work

From discovery to measurable results

  1. Discovery call

    We ask what’s slowing you down or costing you money: missed calls, no-shows, manual follow-up, or tools that don’t talk to each other.

  2. Customized plan

    We outline affordable AI and automation options that fit your workflow—not a generic tool stack—and what to tackle first.

  3. Implementation

    We integrate the systems, connect your channels, and train your team so daily operations actually change.

  4. Optimization

    We track outcomes (leads, bookings, time saved) and adjust so you get the strongest return for your business.

Outcomes

Example outcomes

Examples are illustrative; results depend on your volume, offer, and follow-up.

Home services

After-hours missed calls get an instant SMS with booking links and common FAQs; daytimes spend less time on phone tag.

Appointment-based business

New leads are qualified, scheduled, and reminded automatically; no-show follow-up runs without staff babysitting the inbox.

Front-desk heavy workflow

Invoices, intake, and status updates draft automatically from structured notes; staff reviews and sends.

How pricing works

Pricing model

Strategy session + opportunity report — $250–$750

Lead flow review, missed-revenue signals, 2–3 automation opportunities, and a basic ROI estimate (a range, not a guarantee).

Implementation — typically $2,000–$8,000

Depends on which systems we touch (capture, SMS/chat, booking, reviews, internal workflow). Scoped after your report.

Performance alignment — 10–25% of measurable gain, 12 months

Only where we can track before and after: revenue lift from conversion improvements and/or labor savings from reduced manual work.

Optional ongoing support — $300–$1,000/mo

Optimization, monitoring, and reporting.

If we can’t measure it fairly, we don’t put performance fees on it—we’ll recommend a fixed scope instead.

Start with a paid strategy session

You’ll leave with a clear picture of what to automate first—and what it should cost.
