AI Local Services (SMMA / Agency)

Land £2-10K/mo local retainers with AI-powered service delivery.

Local service businesses (plumbers, dentists, gyms, salons, law firms, real-estate agents) are actively looking for someone to run their marketing — and most existing agencies charge £4-8K/mo for what an AI-native operator can now deliver on a solo basis. This track walks you from niche + service-stack, through cold outreach + discovery + onboarding, to your first 5 retained clients at £2-10K/mo. 5 foundation prompts. Zero VC funding. Zero staff needed for the first 3 clients.

Act as a local-agency growth strategist. Starting budget: £[BUDGET]. My skill mix: [SKILLS — SEO / ads / content / systems / video / sales]. My location: [CITY]. Hours available: [HOURS].

Rank the top 8 local-business verticals by: (1) inbound-call / lead volume, (2) average customer LTV (£100 haircut vs. £8K dental implant is huge), (3) willingness to spend on marketing, (4) buying-committee simplicity (solo owner vs. multi-partner), (5) local competitor agency density near me. For each: my ideal service stack (SEO + Google ads + content + retention systems), typical retainer sweet-spot, and the 3 pain points that make an owner hire an outsider. End with the ONE vertical + service-stack combo I should target and a 90-day path to first 3 clients.

Act as a B2B outreach specialist targeting local service-business owners. My offer: an AI-native local marketing retainer at £[PRICE]/mo covering [DELIVERABLES]. My target: [VERTICAL].

Write: (1) a 4-touch cold email sequence — email 1 (name-dropped local reference + a specific-to-them observation), email 2 (a concrete revenue-cost calculation for their situation — 'you're missing ~£X/month in leads'), email 3 (5-min demo offer, low-friction), email 4 (breakup with a specific value gift like a free local-SEO audit), (2) SMS + voicemail scripts for owners who don't check email daily, (3) a LinkedIn approach for the more polished verticals (law firms, real-estate, dentists), (4) the optimal send cadence + time-of-day for each channel. Every touch under 100 words, warm not stiff. Include the ONE compliment / observation that stops them from deleting.
