AI Lead Generation in San Diego & North County

Custom AI systems that capture, qualify, and follow up with leads for San Diego businesses — built locally from Encinitas by PJ.

Quick Answer

What You Get

Automated Lead Capture

AI chatbots on your site, Instagram DM responders, and form handlers that qualify leads in real time and push hot ones straight to your phone.

Follow-Up That Closes

Most leads die in the follow-up gap. AI sends personalized texts/emails within 60 seconds, books appointments, and nudges cold leads back to life.

FAQ

How much does AI lead generation cost in San Diego?

$100/hr, billed only for work done. Most lead gen builds land between $500–$2,500 depending on complexity. No monthly retainer, no contract.

What kind of San Diego businesses is this for?

Service businesses, contractors, real estate agents, med spas, law firms, coaches — anyone who gets leads from a website, ads, or social and needs faster follow-up.

How is this different from HubSpot or a marketing agency?

Agencies charge $2k–$5k/month retainers. Software makes you learn it. I build a custom system that runs automatically and hand it over — you own it.

How fast can you build something?

Simple AI responders: 2–3 days. Full lead capture + qualification + CRM pipeline: 1–2 weeks. I'll give you a real timeline after a 10-minute call.

Do you work in person around North County?

Yes. I'm in Encinitas / Solana Beach and happy to meet at a coffee shop in Carlsbad, Del Mar, or anywhere in North County SD. Most work is remote though.

What AI tools do you actually use?

GPT-4/Claude for language, Make/n8n for automation, Twilio for SMS, and whatever CRM you already use (or Google Sheets if you don't). Stack fits the job.
