How to choose an AI consultant for your local service business
You run a local service business. The AI Deep Dive gives you the facts before you hire.
You own a local service business—maybe a plumbing company, a cleaning crew, or a landscaping outfit. Everyone tells you AI can cut hours off your week, but when you talk to consultants, it’s all big words and no specifics. You need someone who looks at your actual business, not a slide deck.
Most AI consultants sell you the future. They talk about what might happen. For a local service business, the real problem is different. You need someone who can look at your dispatch board, your booking form, and your follow-up texts, and tell you exactly where a computer can help. Without that, you’re paying for a story.
The right approach is a fixed-price deep dive. That means 2 to 3 days where someone tears down your website, your software, and how you actually get work done. You pay a flat $1,500, not an hourly rate that climbs. You get a written plan, not a phone call full of ideas. The cost is honest and the scope is clear: your business, under a microscope.
This week, call FocusDude and ask for an AI Deep Dive. In 2 to 3 days, you get a full teardown of your business. A real plan. Fixes quoted along the way. No hourly billing. No guesswork. Don’t hire a consultant who just talks. Hire one who shows you the work.
When it’s done, you’ll have a simple list of next steps. You’ll know what AI can do for your scheduling, your estimates, and your customer reminders. No more confusion. Just a calm, clear path forward.
What our customers say
"Scott went above and beyond anything we ever could’ve expected. He didn’t just teach our team to use Claude. He opened our eyes to a whole new way of working. He pulled our entire business together, rebuilt our sales process from the ground up, helped us get payroll organized, and got us ready to launch our new sales team. The real difference for us has been Scott. We are going to keep working with him long-term."
"Working with Scott has been amazing! His ability to ingest information, understand it, and then help you understand it is second to none. His work ethic is unlike any I've seen. Scott's forward-thinking mindset is incredibly refreshing and helpful. If you want your website to be found more easily, do yourself a favor and talk to Scott and his team. But don't stop there. Scott has a wealth of knowledge that can help you in so many ways."
"Scott and team just finished a deep dive on our website and it was eye-opening. They found and implemented several key fixes, and actually explained them so we could understand. We've already hired them for another project."
