Case Study
How an $800 fix recovered $4,200/month for a local auto shop
Three calls missed per week at an average ticket of $350. We installed a missed-call text-back system that responds in 60 seconds. The math was undeniable.

The Anti-Agency Manifesto
I build systems. I don't run a marketing agency.
If you're reading this, you're probably working 70-hour weeks. You're answering calls on the roof, doing estimates at the kitchen table at 10 PM, and watching profitable jobs walk to competitors because you couldn't call them back fast enough.
You've probably tried a marketing agency. They charged a $5,000 monthly retainer, put you on weekly Zoom calls, and gave you a dashboard you never looked at.
Or you bought SaaS tools that required you to change how you run your business, only to end up doing things manually again.
I don't do that.
I build custom, single-purpose automations that solve exactly one problem: the operational leak costing you cash every week.
-
01
Local: I live and work in the Rockford/Northern Illinois corridor. I come to your shop to install it.
-
02
Flat Fee: I charge a one-time price for installation. No retainers.
-
03
You Own It: When I leave, you own the system completely. No lock-in.
It's just the math. Find the leak, calculate the cost, install the fix.

Why $300/mo SaaS tools fail local tradesmen
