Automation Consulting

Stop doing by hand
what should just happen.

We help small businesses eliminate the repetitive work that's eating their week — lead follow-up, intake, reporting, approvals — and turn it into something automatic.

No developers. No new software stacks.

Sound familiar?

Your team is the automation.

📋

Data copied between tools

Someone moves the same info from a form to a spreadsheet to an email. Every single time.

📊

Reports built by hand

A person spends hours pulling numbers together every week — for a report that looks the same every time.

🔁

Follow-ups falling through

Leads or clients aren't heard from fast enough because there's no system — just whoever remembers to check.

✍️

Onboarding done from scratch

Every new client or employee gets the same emails, docs, and tasks recreated manually.

Chasing approvals

Things stall because someone forgot to review, sign, or respond — and there's no reminder.

💬

Answering the same questions

The same customer asks the same thing you've answered a hundred times, and someone has to reply.

  • Page speed and render-blocking resource check

Content & On-Page

  • Primary keyword targeting vs. H1/H2 alignment
  • E-E-A-T signal audit (author, credentials, social proof)
  • CTA effectiveness and conversion path review
  • Missing sections: FAQ, testimonials, case studies

Trust & Authority

  • About / bio presence and business legitimacy signals
  • Contact transparency (form, phone, address, response time)
  • Privacy policy, legal entity, and founding year
  • External links and professional profile coverage

AI-Era Visibility

  • llms.txt presence and AI crawler access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot)
  • FAQPage and entity schema for RAG systems

Questions

Before you reach out.

It means replacing repetitive manual steps with software triggers. When X happens, Y automatically follows — without a person in the middle. A lead fills a form → a CRM contact is created, a welcome email goes out, and a task appears on the right person's desk. That sequence used to take 20 minutes of copy-pasting. Automated, it takes 0.

No. We build on tools you likely already have — or low-cost ones: HubSpot, Make.com, Slack, Google Workspace, Calendly. No custom software to maintain, no new platforms to learn. We connect the tools you already use and make them talk to each other.

Start with a $500 Automation Audit — 60–90 minutes, identifies your 3–5 biggest time drains ranked by impact. Most build projects run $1,500–$5,000 depending on scope. Ongoing support retainers start at $750/month. We scope everything before a single line is written.

Most point-to-point integrations ship in 1–2 weeks. Larger onboarding or multi-system builds take 3–4 weeks. We scope the timeline before we start, so there are no surprises. The audit itself happens within a week of booking.

Make.com, HubSpot, Slack, Google Workspace, Typeform, Jotform, Airtable, Notion, WhatsApp, Calendly, Stripe, and most platforms with a webhook or API. If your tool has an API, we can almost always wire it up.

Every automation ships with error monitoring and alert notifications. We document what we build and hand off a runbook. Retainer clients get direct support for issues. One-time builds include a 30-day support window after go-live.

Yes. Most engagements are fully remote — discovery on Calendly, reviews over Loom or screen share. We work with clients nationally.
