AI Consulting for
Small Businesses

Your competitors are automating customer service, scheduling, and lead follow-up with AI. I help small businesses in LA implement practical AI solutions — without the enterprise price tag or the hype.

The Problem

Small businesses are losing time and money on work that AI can handle in seconds.

close

Missed leads after hours

Customers call or message at 9pm. Nobody answers. They go to your competitor who has an AI chatbot responding instantly.

close

Hours wasted on repetitive tasks

Your team answers the same 20 questions every day, manually schedules appointments, and copies data between systems.

close

Slow follow-up kills conversion

New leads wait hours or days for a response. By then they've already booked with someone else.

close

AI feels overwhelming and expensive

Every AI company targets Fortune 500. You need practical solutions at a small business budget, not a six-figure enterprise contract.

What I Do

Practical AI solutions that save time, capture more leads, and reduce costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does AI consulting cost for a small business?

expand_more

AI consulting for small businesses typically ranges from $2,000 for a readiness assessment to $10,000-$15,000 for a full 4-6 week implementation. Most small businesses see positive ROI within 4-8 months. I offer a free initial strategy call to scope your needs before any commitment.

What does an AI consultant actually do?

expand_more

I evaluate your business workflows, identify where AI can save time and money, then build and implement those solutions. This includes setting up AI chatbots for customer service, automating repetitive tasks like scheduling and data entry, building custom AI workflows, and training your team to use the tools effectively.

Do I need AI for my small business?

expand_more

If your team spends significant time on repetitive tasks — answering the same customer questions, manual data entry, scheduling, invoicing, or follow-ups — AI can likely save you 10-20 hours per week. The free strategy call is designed to give you an honest answer about whether AI is the right investment for your specific situation.

Will AI replace my employees?

expand_more

No. AI handles the repetitive, mechanical work so your team can focus on what humans do best — building relationships, creative problem-solving, and strategic thinking. Most small businesses use AI to make existing employees more productive, not to replace them.

How long does AI implementation take?

expand_more

A basic AI automation (like a customer service chatbot or automated scheduling) can be live in 1-2 weeks. A full workflow audit and multi-system implementation typically takes 4-6 weeks. I prioritize quick wins first so you see results fast.

What industries do you work with?

expand_more

I work with small businesses across Los Angeles and Southern California including restaurants, real estate agencies, law firms, healthcare practices, ecommerce businesses, and construction contractors. Each industry has specific AI solutions tailored to its workflows and pain points.
