Automation help · Los Angeles

Los Angeles small businesses: never lose another customer to a missed call.

When a customer calls, texts, or fills out your form, they get an instant text back — then automatic follow-ups until they book, online booking with reminders, and a review request after. Set up for you, running in the background. You approve every word. We keep it running.

Here's the free part: a 15-minute call, then a short written plan in plain English — what to automate first and what it's worth. Yours to keep, whether we work together or not.

Run out of Los Angeles — building automation help for small businesses here and anywhere.

Automation help, right here in LA

Los Angeles runs on small businesses - the plumber in Sherman Oaks, the salon in Silver Lake, the studio in Culver City - and they all lose customers the same way: a call that rings out while they're busy. We're based right here in LA, and we set up the quiet systems that catch those customers for you. Most of the build happens remotely, so you get the exact same setup whether you're across town or across the country - and if you're local, there's someone in your own city standing behind it.

What automation help looks like

01

Missed calls that text themselves back

You're on a job, at a table, driving the 405 - the call rings out. The second it does, the caller gets a friendly text back in your shop's words - from a script you approve before it goes live - and the system keeps following up until they reply or book. The customer you would have lost to voicemail ends up on your calendar instead.

02

Online booking, minus the no-shows

Customers book straight into your calendar from their phone, and automatic reminders go out before the appointment. Fewer empty slots, less phone tag, no double-booking - it runs quietly in the background, and every conversation lands in one thread on your phone.

03

A review engine that keeps the five stars coming

The moment a job wraps and the customer's happy, the review request goes out automatically - and points them to your Google page, right where your next Los Angeles customer is already looking.

04

Optional: an AI receptionist that answers 24/7

The premium tier - an AI that actually answers your inbound calls in your shop's words, qualifies the caller, and books them on the spot. Inbound calls only, built on request. Not for everyone, and we'll tell you straight if you don't need it.

Questions from LA owners

  • Do you work with businesses outside LA?

    Yes. We're based in Los Angeles and happy to meet locally, but every build is done remotely - so we work with small businesses anywhere. The system runs the same whether you're in Santa Monica or another state entirely. Being local is a nice-to-have, not a requirement.

  • What does it cost?

    The call and the written plan are free. From there, most businesses start with Text-Back & Follow-Up at $497 setup plus $149/mo, or The Works - a one-page website, online booking, reminders, and reviews - at $997 setup plus $149/mo. An optional AI receptionist runs $1.5k+ setup, from $299/mo, for inbound calls only. Bigger custom builds are $1k to $12k, scoped in writing before you spend a dollar.

  • How fast can you set it up?

    Text-back goes live when the carriers approve your business for texting, which usually takes two to three weeks - and having a real website with a privacy policy speeds that approval up, which is one reason The Works is the usual starting point. A one-page site is about five days. You'll have the real date in writing before you pay a cent, and if we miss it, the balance waits until it's live.

  • Do I own it, or am I locked in?

    You are never locked in. Your number, your contacts and your customer history are yours, and we export them to you whenever you ask - no hostage-taking. Pay-once builds owe nothing monthly. The parts that genuinely run every month - the texting line, the automation platform, the AI receptionist - are ours to license and maintain so you never have to, and they are month-to-month, cancel anytime. Every build is covered by our First-Build Guarantee: if the first build doesn't do what we agreed, you don't pay for it.

  • Is my business too small for this?

    If you have a phone that rings and customers you can't always answer, it's built for you. The free call tells you straight what's worth automating first - including when the honest answer is 'not yet.'
