A marketing automation agency implementation built around how you actually work.
We map your operational workflows, automate the repetitive parts, and build custom software wherever off-the-shelf tools won't fit — reporting, admin, data, coordination.
Operations quietly consume the founder's time.
Reporting, admin, research, coordination and tool-juggling rarely look urgent day to day — they just quietly eat the hours that should go to growth.
More clients means more manual work
Without a business automation agency behind the scenes, every new client adds proportional admin load — so growth in revenue doesn't translate into growth in free time.
Off-the-shelf tools only cover the generic parts
Most automation platforms handle the common 80%. The 20% that's actually specific to how your agency works still lands on a person.
The founder becomes the fallback system
When a workflow isn't documented or automated, the founder ends up being the one who remembers how it's supposed to work.
Real hours back, not just an efficiency report.
Our AI automation agency services mean we don't hand you a slide deck of recommendations — we build the automation and, where needed, the custom software itself.
Remove the work that's keeping your agency dependent on you.
More output without proportionally more people or founder involvement.
Map the work, then build around it.
A business automation agency that starts with software before understanding your workflow usually ships something that doesn't fit. We do it in the other order.
Map how the agency actually operates
We shadow the real workflow — reporting, admin, client comms, data handoffs — and document where time actually goes, not where it's supposed to go on paper.
Automate what off-the-shelf tools can already do
Wherever an existing platform can handle a repetitive task properly, we wire it up — this is the bulk of most marketing automation agency implementation work, and it's the fastest part to deliver.
Build custom software for what's left
The remaining 20% — the part specific to how your agency actually works — gets custom software, not a workaround bolted onto a generic tool. This is the ai automation agency services part most vendors skip.
Custom operations builds usually start much higher.
This is priced the same way the rest of the journey is — deliberately underpriced so cash flow isn't the reason a good agency doesn't start.
“We build, not advise. You get working systems, campaigns, automations and capability — not a slide deck telling you what you should do.”
Why Small Group — the same principle every stage is built on.Agencies that scaled operations, not headcount.
Stephen's marketing agency and Ricky's Meta ads agency both went through this exact stage.
“They understand long-term business vision, not just technical tasks. That helped to communicate things effectively and get results.”

Do you build custom software, or just automate existing tools?
Both. We start by automating what off-the-shelf tools can already handle, then design and build custom software specifically for the parts your agency's workflow needs that nothing else covers.
What's your AI automation agency pricing?
SCALE is $3,500 over 3 months — a fixed scope agreed before work starts, not an hourly or retainer arrangement. Most published market rates for a comparable marketing automation agency implementation run $5,000–$20,000 for setup alone.
Do I need to buy all five stages?
No. You start wherever the biggest bottleneck is. The stages describe the broader path, not a mandatory package.
What does 60/40 mean?
That's a separate, later stage (EXPAND) for finding additional revenue inside clients you already have — not part of this operations-automation engagement.
Do you guarantee meetings?
No. We don't promise outcomes we don't fully control. We guarantee the deliverables we build and launch.
Your agency should make you more valuable, not more busy.
Find the bottleneck. Build the system. Make it work. Then move to the next.
