How it works

Three steps. You never touch the code.

01

Tell us what's eating your time

A three-minute form: your business, the work you want off your plate, and the tools you already use. Within one business day you get the system we'd install and what it will do for you.

02

We install it

We set the system up on your own accounts, connect it to your tools, and test it with your real data. You see it working and approve it before it goes live.

03

We keep it running

Your care plan covers monitoring, fixes, updates when a tool changes, and small tweaks. If something breaks, we fix it. You don't open a support ticket with a software company.

What clients are saying

Real results from real businesses.

“The daily SEO blog system is quietly publishing content every week across two sites. I'm not writing any of it. Also using the cold outreach system for new leads. Cancelled a couple of expensive tools I don't use anymore.”

“Pulled a few hundred water damage contractors off Google Maps in one sitting. Used the email sequences and booked 11 estimates the first week. Stopped paying two VAs after that.”

“I was skeptical it would actually run on my own machine without me constantly checking on it, but the install guides were clear. The lead scraper, review requests, and simple invoicing now handle most of the admin work. I'm finally not stuck in the back office all day.”

“The booking system + review requester combo was worth the whole package. No-shows dropped a lot and reviews started coming in without me chasing anyone. Feels like I hired a front desk without paying one.”

“We installed the medical package and the missed appointment recovery alone has been useful. The system follows up automatically and we've filled a few chairs that used to just stay empty. Review requests are working too.”

The gap

You have three bad options.

Option 1

Hire an agency

$3,000–10,000/month, six-week onboarding, and a custom build from scratch that you never own. When the agency drops you, so does the stack.

Option 2

Stitch it in Zapier

$600–3,000/year in platform fees, monthly task limits, and you still build the workflow. One rate-limit change breaks it.

Option 3

Build it yourself

Free in tooling, three to six months of your life. And when you finish, you get to maintain it forever.

The answer

We install it for you

A system that already runs in production, set up on your own accounts and kept running for you. No build from scratch, no six-week onboarding, and it stays yours.

FAQ

Answers before the questions.

For lead pulling + personalized cold email — yes. If you rely on Apollo's 275M contact database as your primary source or need native Salesforce integration, Apollo does those specific things better and this isn't a straight swap.

Own the Cold email + lead gen SaaS stack instead of renting it.

Same outcome as Apollo, installed on your own accounts and kept running for you: $2,500 to install, $497/mo for the care plan. Or learn to run it yourself in the Academy ($997).
