The Small Business AI Audit

Everyone's talking about AI. You just want to run your business.

A few calm hours, one-on-one, looking at how you actually work — then an honest read on where AI could help, and where to leave a good thing alone.

Book your audit

No pitch, no jargon, no pressure to change anything.

Not sure it's for you?

Most AI advice is written for tech companies — not for a real business with real customers and a way of working that already pays the bills.

You don't need to rip anything out, learn to code, or hand your business over to a robot. Sometimes the most valuable thing we can tell you is "this is fine, leave it." Here's exactly how it works.

How it works

Three steps. A few hours of your time.

01

Share a few details

Answer a few quick questions about your business, and we'll follow up to book a time that works for you. No prep, no homework.

02

We sit down together

A relaxed couple of hours, one-on-one. We walk through the tools you use, how the work actually flows, and where things get painful — including pulling up your website and Google listing to see what AI says about you today. Room for any question you've been meaning to ask.

03

You get a report the next day

A short, jargon-free write-up: what to leave as-is, a few ideas worth trying, and a clearer picture of where things are heading. Yours to keep.

Being found

When someone asks AI for a business like yours, do you come up?

People are starting to skip the list of search results. They ask ChatGPT, or read the AI answer at the top of Google, and call whoever it names. That answer gets built out of your Google listing, your website, and what other people say about you — and most business owners have never once checked what it says.

Your Google listing. The biggest single source AI uses for a local business. Categories, hours, services, photos, reviews, the questions people have asked.

What your website actually says. In plain text a machine can read — not buried in an image, a slideshow, or a PDF menu.

Whether your details agree. Same name, address, phone, and hours everywhere they appear. When the sources disagree, AI hedges — or leaves you out.

The machine-readable version. The invisible tags that tell Google and AI exactly what you do, where you do it, and who for. Most small business sites have none.

A live test. We ask the AI the questions your customers would ask, right there in the session, and you watch what comes back.

Most of what we find here is fixable in an afternoon, and a fair bit of it is free.

What's in the report

A short report, in plain English, the next day.

What to leave alone

An honest, plain-language list of the parts of your business that are working fine and don't need AI anywhere near them — so you can stop second-guessing them.

A few practical ideas

One to three specific, low-risk places a tool or plugin could quietly save you time — with names you can actually go try, not a strategy deck.

A map of the noise

A short read on what the AI hype actually means for a business like yours — what's real, what's marketing, and what's safe to ignore for now.

Find out where you actually stand with AI.

A few hours, an honest conversation, and a report you can act on — or happily ignore. Either way, you'll stop wondering.
