The free look

What we keep finding.

An afternoon inside your business with a notebook. These turn up on almost every page of it.

  1. Bookings only by phone, and the shop closes at noon on Friday.

    So Saturday's customers wait until Monday.

  2. A quote asked for on Monday goes out on Thursday.

    By Thursday they've hired someone else.

  3. Invoices go out whenever someone finds a free evening.

    So the money arrives weeks late.

  4. Eleven hours a week on the phone and inbox, by hand.

    That's a part-time job nobody applied for.

  5. And some of it isn't worth automating at all.

    We'll tell you which, for free.

Done. It's live on the site with the ticket link, and the poster and caption are drafted. It comes down by itself on Saturday morning.

Laugh Lounge · comedy club

A comedy club got its Mondays back.

Keeping the club's website current used to take about fifteen hours a week. We rebuilt it around the room's own photos and reviews, then gave it the Desk: one email address that does the updates. The hours that came back went into a page that sells group nights. See laughlounge.ca ↗

How it goes.

Automate first, then grow. In that order.

01

Week 1

We learn the business.

Where the hours go, where money slips away, and what you'd do with a free afternoon.

02

Weeks 2 to 4

We make room.

The inbox, quotes and updates move to AI, mostly through one email address we call the Desk.

03

Month 2 on

We help you fill it.

A page that takes bookings, a note that brings customers back, replies in minutes.

How you'll know it's working

Every change gets a number.

Hours, replies, bookings, how fast the money lands. We write down where you're starting on day one, and every month you get a short note on what moved. If something isn't moving, you'll hear it from us first.

Fair questions.

What does the free look involve?

An hour or two with you and your business, by video, or in person if you're close by. You keep our notes whether or not we work together.

What does it cost after that?

It depends on what's worth doing, so we price it once we've seen the business: one price for anything we build, one monthly amount for anything we run. You see the first piece working before you pay.

Will AI be talking to my customers?

Only where you've said it can, and only in your voice. Anything sensitive, like a complaint or a refund, comes to you first. Every change can be undone.

Who owns what you build?

You do. The website, the accounts and the data are in your name from day one, and they stay with you if you leave. There's no new software to learn, either: we work with what you already use.

If the first thing we build doesn't make you say it, you don't pay for it.

Five quick questions so we arrive prepared. About two minutes. We reply within one business day.

What kind of business is it?

Pick the closest one.

How many people work there, you included?

So we know where your numbers start.

Where do the hours go?

Pick as many as you like.

If you got ten hours a week back, what would you do with them?

Pick one, or tell us in your own words.

Where should we reply?

One business day, usually sooner.

We'll need a name to write back to.

Which business is it?

That email doesn't look quite right.

How would you like to meet?

Got it. Thank you.

We'll read this properly and reply within one business day, with a couple of times that work for the free look.
