The builds most marketing shops can’t do.

AI agents and automation. Websites and web apps. GoHighLevel, Google Ads, GA4. Built by the same team that writes your plan, approved by a person before anything sends, and priced for small businesses anywhere in the country.

11 tabs, none of them talking

You might recognize this one. The booking tool doesn’t talk to the invoicing tool. The customer list lives in three places and none of them agree. A lead comes in at 4pm Friday and gets a reply Tuesday, if the sticky note survives the weekend. Nothing is broken, exactly. It’s all just... separate.

Founders come at it from the other side. You’d rather build the product than the ops, and you want 1 person doing the work of 3. The honest route there is plumbing: follow-up that runs itself and numbers that are right the first time.

That’s this practice. If you’ve been searching for a marketing automation consultant, you’re in the right place. We connect the tools you already own, build whatever’s missing, and keep a person in charge of anything a customer will ever see.

And it travels. Marketing and local SEO are Indianapolis work; the technical practice runs nationwide, over a screen share. A CRM doesn’t care what state you’re in.

Here at CPC, we aren’t afraid of a hot take, so here’s one before the list. Most small businesses buy new software about a year before they need it. The real problem is usually the handoff between the tools they already pay for, so we check that first. It’s cheaper, and it’s often enough.

We build what the plan needs, not what’s shiny.

5 things we build

Each one has its own page with prices, timelines, and straight answers on when you shouldn’t buy it. Start wherever it hurts.

AI agents & automation

Inbox triage, lead follow-up, scheduling, review requests. We start with 1 task you already do the same way every day. We map it, then automate it, and a person approves every message before it goes out. How we build AI for small businesses

GoHighLevel & CRM

Everything in GoHighLevel starts blank. That’s why the accounts we inherit usually sit half-used. We set up the pipelines, missed-call text-back, appointment reminders, and review requests so the system runs the follow-up while your team runs the jobs. What a working CRM setup looks like

Websites & web apps

Fast pages that say what you do and get the phone to ring, plus small web apps where off-the-shelf won’t bend far enough. The domain, the hosting, and every file are registered to you from day one. How we build websites

Google Ads

Paid search with conversion tracking installed before the first dollar spends. The message comes from our marketing practice. The account lives here, run by the people who built your landing page. How we run Google Ads

GA4 & analytics

Tracking set up so the numbers mean something, and a one-page monthly report an owner can read without a glossary. If a number is uncertain, we’d rather show you a blank than a guess. How we fix analytics

Web design and development and product design are also available as project work, quoted on their own on the pricing page. Retainer clients can add a project anytime. Just let us know.

A human approves every send

Don’t get us wrong, we love what AI can do. But plenty of small-business AI projects fail, and the ones we’ve seen share a pattern. Someone automated a process nobody had mapped, then let it talk to customers unsupervised.

So we run it differently. 1 task first. Mapped before it’s built. And nothing reaches a customer without a person approving the send, not a text, not a review request. Slower on day 1. Much better by month 3.

The other difference is where the builds come from. The plan comes first, whether that’s the $3,000 strategy engagement or the 5 steps inside a retainer, and this practice builds what the plan calls for. If the shiny tool isn’t on the plan, we don’t buy it. Neither should you.

Owners drowning in disconnected tools

For a plumber in Greenwood or a salon in Fishers, the win is speed to lead: a missed call gets a text back in seconds, and every call, text, and form is answered in minutes. Jobs stop slipping through the Friday-afternoon crack, and you get your weekend back.

How we work with local businesses

Founders who want time back

You’re the bottleneck and you know it. We build the ops that stop that: lead qualification, outreach follow-up, onboarding that runs without you, analytics you can trust in a board update. Your strategist and your builder are the same team. That’s rarer than it should be.

The AI Opportunity Finder is a working build: pick your business type, check the tasks you still do by hand, and it names your best first automation. We built it. We build things like it for clients. No email wall. Try it before you ever talk to us.

Projects or retainers, same numbers

Ongoing technical work runs on the same retainers as every practice here: $1,200, $2,400, or $4,800 a month, published with what each month includes. A one-off build, such as a website or a CRM setup, gets a fixed quote in writing before any work starts. Nonprofits get the reduced rate. If you start with the $3,000 strategy engagement and move to a retainer, half of that fee ($1,500) is credited toward it.

Straight answers before you buy a build

What does a marketing automation consultant do?

We connect the tools you already use (CRM, calendar, phones, email, website) so every lead gets followed up and nobody retypes a name you already have. Then we build the missing pieces: AI agents for inbox triage and scheduling, missed-call text-back, review requests. And a person approves every automated message before it sends.

Do you work with businesses outside Indianapolis?

Yes. Marketing and local SEO are Indianapolis-area work, but the technical practice runs nationwide. CRM setups, websites, automations, and analytics all happen over a screen share, so most technical clients never need us in the room.

Will AI send messages to my customers without me seeing them?

No. That’s the rule this whole practice is built on: a person approves anything a customer will see before it goes out. Automation does the drafting and the remembering. People do the sending.

What does technical work cost?

Ongoing work runs on the same published retainers as everything we do: $1,200, $2,400, or $4,800 a month, with a 3-month minimum and the whole consultancy capped at 8 clients at a time. One-off builds get a fixed quote in writing before any work starts. Nonprofits get the reduced rate listed on the pricing page.

Do we have to use GoHighLevel?

No. When your current stack works, we build on it. We recommend GoHighLevel when a business is paying for 5 or more tools that don’t talk to each other, because consolidating usually costs less and breaks less. If what you have is fine, we’ll say so.
