Straight Answers — No Fluff
AI Business Solutions for San Diego SMBs
Start with one workflow that's actually painful — scheduling, follow-up emails, lead sorting. AI tools like Claude or GPT-4 wired into your CRM via Make or Zapier will cut that time by 80%. Budget $50–150/month. Skip the "AI strategy" consultants charging $10k for a deck.
Workflow Automation San Diego
n8n (self-hosted) gives you the most control at zero per-task cost. Make is cleaner for non-technical teams. Zapier is the most expensive at scale. For a 2–10 person San Diego business, Make hits the sweet spot. I'll tell you which fits your exact stack in one text.
AI Lead Generation San Diego
The best AI lead generation setup for local San Diego businesses combines a scraper (Apollo or Clay), a personalization layer (Claude API), and a sequencer (Smartlead or Instantly). Built right, you can send 200 hyper-personalized outbound touches a day for under $300/month.
Payment Processing San Diego
Stripe is default-correct for most businesses. Square wins if you're doing in-person retail. If you're paying over 2.9% + 30¢ and doing high volume, there are negotiable interchange-plus setups worth switching to. Text me your monthly volume and I'll tell you if you're overpaying.
AI Consulting Services San Diego
Most "AI consulting" you'll find in San Diego is reselling ChatGPT prompts. What you actually need is someone who'll look at your workflow, pick the right tool, and wire it up. That's a few hours of work, not a six-month retainer. I do that as a flat-rate project.
Electric Panel Upgrade San Diego
If you're running a home office or workshop in San Diego and need a panel upgrade to support new equipment — I'm not the electrician, but I can help you scope what you actually need, read contractor bids, and flag red flags before you sign. Text me what you were quoted.
