AI Lead Generation Near Me, San Diego, Built By A Local

TL;DR (operator-honest): Working AI lead pipeline (scrape → enrich → qualify → SMS/email → calendar book) live in ~30 days. $100/hr flat — typically $1,500–$5,000 total — vs $1,500/mo retainer with most agencies. Vertical-specific builds: real estate · solar · med spa · home services · contractors. Use this when you're already buying ads but losing leads to slow follow-up. See the Install Pack for vertical templates.

If you searched this from North County, you're in the right spot. I'm PJ, based in Encinitas. I build custom AI lead systems for local San Diego businesses — no retainer, $100/hr, and you own the whole thing.

Quick Answer

What "AI lead generation" actually means locally: It's not just running ads. It's an AI stack that scrapes or receives leads, enriches them with public data, qualifies them with a conversational agent (SMS, web chat, or voice), and books them straight into your calendar — usually before a competitor even calls them back.
Who I build this for in San Diego: Home services (roofing, solar, HVAC, landscaping), real estate teams, med spas, law firms, and contractors from Carlsbad to Chula Vista. If you spend money on Google/Meta ads or buy lead lists, AI cuts your cost-per-booked-call by 40–70%.
How fast this ships: A working lead-qualifier bot and SMS follow-up sequence typically goes live in 5–10 days. Full pipeline (scrape → enrich → qualify → book → CRM sync) is 2–4 weeks. Flat $100/hr, no retainer, no lock-in.
Why "near me" matters: I live in Solana Beach. I'll meet you in person in Encinitas, Del Mar, or downtown. I know the SD market, the local compliance rules (TCPA, CA CCPA), and what actually converts here vs. what works in LA or Phoenix. Text me: 858-461-8054.
