To find local businesses that could benefit from AI automation, we'll use a simple Google search strategy.

First, let's search for a specific type of local business, such as "plumber in Denver, Colorado". This will bring up the top-ranking organic listings for plumbers in that area. These are the businesses that are likely to have a strong online presence and be open to new solutions that can help them streamline their operations.

As you scroll through the results, you'll notice that the first few listings are usually paid ads. Ignore those for now and focus on the organic listings further down. These businesses often have high ratings and reviews, indicating they are well-established and serve their local community well.

The key is to identify businesses that are doing well, but could still benefit from modern automation tools to save time and improve their customer communication. These are the perfect candidates for the AI-powered solution you're offering.

You can also try searching for other local service-based businesses, such as dentists, hair salons, or real estate agents. The process is the same - look for the organic listings with strong online reputations.

Once you've compiled a list of potential clients, you can reach out to them with a simple, value-driven pitch about how your AI automation solution can help them book more appointments and streamline their operations, all without any upfront cost or complicated setup.

Once a small business owner says yes to your offer, you'll move over to a simple AI software platform where the real magic happens. All you need to do is head into the settings and activate the conversation AI feature.

Local businesses like plumbers, massage therapists, or chiropractors often get bombarded with messages across various channels - Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, live chat on their websites, or even text messages. The problem is they don't have the time to respond to everyone, and their staff is usually stretched thin.

To solve this, you'll set up a simple AI assistant that can automatically respond to all these inquiries. This saves the business time, helps them stay on top of their leads, and ultimately books more appointments without spending anything on ads.

The best part is, this is completely beginner-friendly. If you can click a few buttons, you can do this. You just go to the autopilot section and select which channels you want the AI to manage - Facebook, Instagram, SMS, website chat, etc.

Next, you'll need to train the bot on how to respond. You simply visit the business's website, copy the URL, and paste it into the bot's training tool. Within about 20 seconds, the AI scans the entire site - the services, pricing, hours, and any other important info - and learns how to answer questions just like a human would.

You can even manually add the most common FAQs, like "What are your hours?" or "Do you do emergency services?" to ensure the bot gives precise responses.

In less than 10 minutes, the bot is fully trained and ready to chat with potential customers. But we're not just answering questions - we're also booking appointments. You enable the appointment booking feature, and as the bot converses with leads, it will guide the conversation towards scheduling a time on the business owner's calendar.

Now the business has an AI-powered assistant working 24/7, chatting, answering questions, and scheduling real appointments - all without the business owner lifting a finger.

Every time the AI bot sends a message to a customer or lead, there's a small cost involved since it's using tools like SMS, AI language processing, and automation. However, you have full control within the software to set your own rate for each response. For example, if the base cost is a couple of cents per message, you might choose to charge slightly more, creating a small margin for yourself on every single message sent.

While this may not sound like a big deal at first, consider a scenario where a business has 20 or more people reaching out each day, and each conversation includes several back-and-forth replies. Those little margins can add up quickly, and since it's all automated, it becomes a passive revenue stream running in the background of your business.

This is on top of the core service you're offering, which means you're not just helping the business get more appointments and save time, but you're also building something sustainable and scalable for yourself.
