For ambitious local businesses

Find the revenue
your business is losing.

A fixed-price audit that finds the revenue you're losing, tells you exactly what to fix first, and lands in your inbox in seven days — starting with a 15-minute call to make sure it's the right fit before you pay a dollar.

You already know something's off.

01 / Lost calls

The phone rings when no one's there to pick it up.

Industry data suggests local businesses miss roughly 30-60% of inbound calls. Every one is a customer who tried to spend money with you and couldn't.

02 / Stale site

Your website was built four years ago. It shows.

Google's algorithm has changed three times since then. Your competitors' sites load faster, look better, and convert visitors you're paying to send there.

03 / Manual everything

You're still answering the same five questions by hand.

Hours per week on tasks that an AI workflow could handle in seconds. Not someday — right now, with tools that already exist.

04 / No clear plan

Every vendor pitches you a different fix.

The SEO guy says SEO. The ads guy says ads. The AI guy says AI. We'll tell you which one actually moves the needle for your business — and which to ignore.

What you actually get for $1,500.

Most “audits” are sales pitches dressed up in a PDF. This is the opposite. Three deliverables you keep, regardless of whether we ever work together again — and almost nothing you have to do to get them.

Deliverable 01

The findings report

You'll get

A 12-15 page audit covering your website, reviews, local search, response times, and operational bottlenecks. Specific. Screenshotted. Annotated. No fluff.

You don't

Sit through an intake interview, fill out a questionnaire, or send us a single document. We pull it all ourselves.

Branded PDF, yours to keep
Deliverable 02

The AI opportunities map

You'll get

Three concrete places where AI or automation can save you real hours each week, with a cost estimate and a build estimate. We pick the ones that pay for themselves.

You don't

Need to know anything about AI. We translate it into “this would save your front desk 4 hours a week and cost $X to set up.”

One-page summary + implementation specs
Deliverable 03

The 90-day roadmap

You'll get

What to fix first, what to fix next, what to ignore. Dollar estimates for each. The order matters more than the items — and most consultants get the order wrong.

You don't

Have to prioritize the findings yourself or guess what to do first. We tell you exactly what move 1 is.

Prioritized list + 60-min walkthrough call
A category of one

What this is not.

×

Not a vendor pitch.

Every agency you talk to says you need their thing — ads, SEO, a new website, an AI chatbot. We tell you what would actually move the needle for your business. Sometimes that's us. Often it isn't.

×

Not a sales pitch disguised as advice.

We charge for the audit so the audit is the product — not bait for the upsell. About half our audit clients hire us next. Half don't. Both are fine.

×

Not a generic SEO checklist.

You can get one of those for free in ten seconds from any agency that wants your business. Ours is a real read of your business, by people who've audited Fortune 500 AI rollouts.

×

Not a 90-page report nobody reads.

The deliverable is short, specific, and prioritized. The point isn't to look thorough. The point is for you to know exactly what to do Monday morning.

The red velvet rope

Who this is for.

We take on three audits a month. We're picky about which three. Here's the filter.

+
Right for
  • Established local businesses doing $500K+ in annual revenue
  • Owners who run the operation and know it could be running better
  • Med spas, dental, HVAC, vet, fitness, law, home services, hospitality
  • Willing to spend 60 focused minutes on the walkthrough call
  • Wants a real plan, not a vendor's pitch
×
Not right for
  • Owners shopping multiple agencies for the cheapest option
  • Anyone expecting a monthly marketing retainer — we don't do those
  • Pre-revenue startups — we're not the right fit for your stage
  • Anyone who thinks AI is a magic wand instead of a tool

I came to Ruth Design Co. thinking I needed a website. What I got was somebody who took apart my whole operation and showed me where I was leaving money on the table — places I'd stopped seeing because I was too close to them. The work paid for itself before we were halfway through. The bigger thing, honestly, is that I'm running Potter's the way I always wanted to run it now, instead of being run by it.

How seven days actually works.

Day 0

You fill out the form below.

Takes 2 minutes. We need your business URL, the one thing keeping you up at night, and the best way to reach you.

Day 0 — 1hr

Your free Website Leak Report arrives.

A complete report identifying three places your business is currently losing revenue. Yours to keep — no payment, no obligation. The report includes a link to book a 15-minute fit call if you want to go deeper.

Day 1 — 2

The 15-minute fit call.

We walk through what we already spotted, you tell us what's actually keeping you up at night, and we figure out together whether the full audit is worth the $1,500. If it's not a fit, we say so — and you keep the report regardless.

Day 2

You book and pay. We start work.

If we're a fit, you get a Stripe link on the call. The moment payment clears, we begin the deep audit.

Day 3 — 7

We do the work.

We comb through your site, your reviews, your local search results, and your operations. We talk to one of your team members for 30 minutes to understand where the time goes. Findings PDF lands in your inbox 24 hours before the walkthrough call.

Day 9

The walkthrough.

We talk through the findings, the AI opportunities, and the 90-day plan. You walk away knowing exactly what to do — whether we build it for you or you take it elsewhere.
