Fix the six leaks every local business has — missed leads, slow quotes, no reminders, few reviews, messy CRM, no follow-up — and charge monthly.
Local businesses do not buy 'AI automation'. They buy fewer missed calls, faster quotes, fewer no-shows, more Google reviews, a tidy customer list and follow-up that actually happens. This track builds an agency around those six specific outcomes: how to audit a business in 20 minutes, which fix to sell first, how to build each automation with no-code tools (Make/n8n, Twilio or a UK SMS provider, Google Business Profile, a light CRM), how to price it as a retainer, and how to win the first five clients within walking distance.

Who it is for
Beginners comfortable with no-code tools who want a local, recurring service business
Trades, salons, clinics, garages, cleaners, restaurants, gyms, letting agents, tutors and any local business that runs on the phone
Where you sell it
Local networking, walking in, Facebook/WhatsApp community groups, referrals, Google Business Profile, local trade associations
Revenue model
Setup fee (£250–£750 per automation) + retainer (£150–£600/mo typical range)
First customer
Audit 10 businesses you already use, show each the one leak you found, offer a fixed-price pilot for the missed-lead responder
Why now
Local businesses are short-staffed, miss a large share of inbound calls and increasingly expect texts and instant responses; tools to fix this cost under £50/month
Competition / differentiation
Sell one measurable leak at a time, prove it with the owner's own numbers, avoid tech jargon, be local and reachable
Scaling options
Package into a 'front desk in a box' bundle, add niche templates, partner with local web designers and accountants for referrals

Prompt 01
01 · Pick a local niche by leak, not by industry
Act as a local-business consultant. I want to run an AI automation agency in [TOWN / CITY]. Here are businesses I already know or use: [LIST].
For the six leaks — missed leads, slow quotes, no reminders, few reviews, messy customer data, no follow-up — identify which local business types suffer most from each, what one leak typically costs them per month (show the calculation with clearly labelled assumptions), how easy the owner is to reach, and how quickly a fix shows results. Recommend 3 niches to start with and the ONE leak to lead with for each. Explain what to avoid in year one.
Never invent statistics, credentials, testimonials, client results or legal requirements. Label every assumption. Do not promise or imply guaranteed income; use ranges and 'typical' language only where you can justify it.
Prompt 02
02 · The 20-minute leak audit
Create a 20-minute 'leak audit' I can run on any local business, in person or by phone. Business type: [TYPE].
Include: 12 diagnostic questions in plain English, a mystery-shopper checklist (call after hours, request a quote, check response time, count reviews and reply rate, look for reminders), a scoring sheet out of 60 across the six leaks, a one-page findings template with 'estimated monthly cost of this leak' (assumption-labelled), and the exact sentence to move from findings to a paid fix. Add a version I can complete from the outside without speaking to the owner.
Never invent statistics, credentials, testimonials, client results or legal requirements. Label every assumption. Do not promise or imply guaranteed income; use ranges and 'typical' language only where you can justify it.
