AI Small Business Optimization

Three named tiers. Clear deliverables. Hardware you own. Month-to-month — if it’s not working, you walk.

A productized AI consulting engagement for small and mid-sized businesses that want their website, search presence, and lead capture rebuilt on a modern AI-architected stack. Every tool runs on hardware you own, trained on the specifics of your business, tuned to convert your actual customers — not a template version of them.

The deliverable is on the page. Either the engagement works in month one or it doesn’t, and you don’t pay extra to find out.

What every engagement includes

The posture, not just the deliverable.

·

Month-to-month

If it’s not delivering, you walk. No long-term commitment, no exit clause.

·

Ad spend goes to Google

100% of what you spend on Google goes to Google. No middle layer taking a cut.

·

You own everything

Domains, ad accounts, GBP, content, code, model weights — all registered in your name from day one. Engagement ends, you keep the working stack.

·

How every change ships

Every change ships with a written theory, a pre-declared abort condition, and a next-morning guardrail check. The abort threshold is re-derived before spend accrues, not after it. Experiments run one at a time; waste elimination ships immediately and gets logged.

Measurement runs unattended underneath all of it. A pipeline appends roughly 60 metrics a day to an append-only ledger, and when it misses a day the gap is written into the same ledger rather than papered over. A silent skip and a clean run look identical unless something is watching for the artifact.

·

We find the leaks nobody is looking for

On one account the phone-call conversion gate was set to 60 seconds, silently discarding 18 call-asset clicks every 30 days. Nothing was broken, nothing was alarming, and the account was quietly throwing away its own phone data. Reset to 30 seconds.

·

Automation with guardrails

Automation that fails loudly is safe. Automation that fails quietly destroys data. When the source sitemaps behind a dealer’s index-submission job returned nothing on 2026-07-29, the submitter aborted and left its state untouched rather than concluding the inventory had vanished and wiping its own known-URL list. A job that cannot tell “nothing new” from “nothing readable” will eventually delete the wrong thing.
