AI-Powered Local Service Lead Generation

A partnership or lead-generation agency model where you team up with offline local service operators (e.g., mobile diesel mechanics) who lack digital marketing skills. You use AI tools like Claude Code to rapidly build and SEO-optimize a comprehensive local website, driving high-intent leads and sharing in the revenue.

Why now

Local competition is unsophisticated (10-15 year old websites). AI tools like Claude Code, ChatGPT, and Anima allow a single non-technical person to do months of SEO agency work in just 4 hours over a weekend.

Market gap

Existing local service competitors have slow, outdated websites. Traditional SEO agencies charge an 'arm and a leg' and take months to deliver results.
