// the real cost of manual work

You're bleeding time on tasks
that shouldn't exist.

Every hour spent copying data, chasing invoices, or routing leads by hand is an hour not spent on your actual business.

20+
Hours per week on manual data work
The average small business spends 20+ hours/week on tasks that can be fully automated — CRM updates, follow-ups, invoice routing, reporting. That's $2K–$5K/month in labor on processes that run themselves once automated.
$400
Average Zapier bill — and climbing
Zapier raises prices every cycle. n8n is self-hosted and costs $0/mo. We handle the migration.
8wk
Engineering queue wait for automation
Your dev team has a backlog. We're already in n8n and can deliver in days, not quarters.
23%
Error rate on manual processes
Humans copy-paste wrong. Every workflow we build includes error handling and Slack alerts when something breaks.
n8n executions at $0/mo
No per-task pricing, no execution caps. Self-hosted n8n runs unlimited workflows on infrastructure you already pay for.
// how we work together

Two ways to get started.

Start with the Blueprint to map your automation opportunities before committing. Or jump straight to the retainer if you already know what needs building.

Live in days, not months.

01 · Discovery
Async intake, map your stack
You fill out a short intake describing your tools and bottlenecks. We identify the 3 workflows with the highest ROI — CRM, follow-up, invoicing, or wherever you're losing the most time.
02 · Build
We build in n8n, against your real data
Your stack, your tools, zero vendor lock-in. Every workflow is tested against real API responses before we ship anything.
03 · Deploy
Deployed, documented, and yours
Full handoff with walkthrough documentation. You own the workflow JSON outright. We stay available for 30 days to catch edge cases.
// before you ask

Questions small businesses
ask us first.

Straight answers. If yours isn't here, put it in the form below and we'll reply within 24 hours.

I'm not technical — can I actually run this?

Yes. That's the whole point of done-for-you. We build, test, and deploy the workflow into your stack, then hand you plain-English documentation. You don't touch code. If something breaks, the workflow sends a Slack/email alert and we're one message away.

How is this different from hiring a Zapier freelancer?

Zapier charges per task and gets expensive fast as you scale. We build on self-hosted n8n — unlimited executions at $0/mo in ongoing platform fees, no per-task metering, and 400+ integrations. You own the workflow outright instead of renting it.

How fast will something actually be live?

Most first workflows are deployed within days of your intake, not weeks. The $99 Blueprint turns around in 48 hours. We're already inside n8n every day, so there's no ramp-up or engineering-queue wait.

What does the free assessment include — is there a catch?

No catch. You describe your top 2–3 manual processes, and we reply with an honest take on whether automation helps, what it would look like, and a rough cost. If it won't move the needle for you, we'll say so. No card, no obligation.

What if the Blueprint isn't useful?

Full money-back guarantee on the $99 Blueprint — if it isn't genuinely useful, you don't pay. And the Blueprint fee is credited toward your first build if you move forward.

What kinds of tasks can you actually automate?

If it's repetitive and touches a tool with an API, it's usually automatable: lead intake and follow-up, invoice and payment reminders, syncing data between your CRM, spreadsheets and email, report generation, onboarding sequences, inventory and order alerts, and scraping or enriching data. Not sure your process fits? Describe it in the form below — we'll tell you straight whether it's a good candidate.

Am I locked into a monthly contract?

No. Every build is yours to keep and runs on your own n8n instance whether or not we stay involved. The $299/mo retainer is optional — it covers ongoing changes, monitoring, and new workflows — and you can pause or cancel it anytime. Most clients start with a single build and add the retainer only once automation is clearly paying for itself.

What do you need from me to get started?

Just the manual processes eating your time and the tools you already use (CRM, email, spreadsheets, forms, etc.). We handle the mapping, building, and connecting. You review and approve.
