Revenue leaks

Stop losing leads to slow follow-up.

Calls get missed. Forms sit too long. Reviews go unanswered. Good prospects ask a question after hours and disappear before morning.

We do not repackage someone else’s tool and pretend it is proprietary. We help you choose, connect, and customize the right systems for your business, at a cost you can afford.

Founder-led, practical, direct

AI should make the business clearer, faster, and more profitable – not more confusing.

Most small-business owners do not need a lecture about the future. They need someone to look at the actual business, find the money leaks, clean up the follow-up, improve the content and search path, and set up tools that work on Tuesday. That is what Roving Leads is built to do.

Founder-led AI consulting for local businesses that need practical answers, not another software pitch.
What we do

Five core ways to make or save money. One honest promise.

Roving Leads focuses on revenue leaks, search visibility, practical AI planning, safer AI use, and team productivity. We still offer the wider service catalog below, but the work starts with what makes money, saves money, or prevents expensive mistakes.

Ask Ollie about AI for your business

Don’t take our word for it. Try it.

How it works

Three steps. No pressure. Honest from day one.

Step 01 / Listen Ollie listening attentively - the Listen phase
Day 1 – free 20-min chat

We learn your business.

You tell us what’s slow, expensive, or annoying. We ask questions and take notes – no quoting on the spot, no upselling, no pressure.

Step 02 / Research Ollie thinking - the Research phase
Within 24 hours – written plan

We come back with a plan.

One business day to research and write a custom plan that fits YOUR business. Which assessment tier, which service track, what’s worth doing – and what isn’t.

Step 03 / Deliver Ollie giving a high-five - the Deliver phase
Setup OR managed – your call

We do the work – your way.

Assessment, content, coaching, training, governance docs, agents – whatever fits. Pay once and own it, or have us run it ongoing. You pay tools direct. No markup.

South Bay roots

Online by default. Local when it matters.

Most of what we do happens over web chats, screen-shares, and email – honestly, that’s faster for everyone. But some things need a personal touch. Because we’re South Bay locals, we can actually show up in person when an assessment, workshop, or kickoff calls for it.

No drive-around-the-South-Bay obsession. Just real local presence available when your project needs it.

How we work

Four principles. Zero exceptions.

No lock-in You own your tools. Take them with you.
No markup Pay tool costs directly. We don’t touch them.
No upsell If “no” is the right answer, we’ll say “no.”
No fluff Real plans. Real fixes. Written in English.
What you can expect

We’re new – and we’re transparent about it.

Roving Leads just opened our doors. We don’t have a wall of customer logos to wave around (yet). What we do have: a lot of pre-launch hours, a clear methodology, and the time to give early clients an unreasonable amount of attention.

->

First 5 clients

Our first five engagements get our full attention, founder-level involvement, and a meaningful discount. In exchange we ask for honest feedback and – if it’s earned – a testimonial.

Founding-client pricing Limited – by application

Clear scope, fair fixes

Before paid work starts, we agree on scope, deliverables, and what “done” means. If something misses the mark, we revise it in good faith. If we haven’t started, you get a full refund. No hostage files, no surprise fees.

Scope before work starts Revisions handled fairly

A real phone number

When something breaks, you call a person. Not a ticket portal, not a chatbot. The same human who built it picks up. That’s a small-business luxury we plan to keep – even after we grow.

FAQ

AI consulting questions small-business owners ask first.

What does Roving Leads actually do for small businesses?

Roving Leads helps local businesses use AI to save time, capture more leads, clean up operations, improve SEO, and make better decisions without buying a pile of random tools. We start with the business problem, then build the simplest useful system around it.

Do you work with businesses outside the South Bay?

Yes. Roving Leads is based in Redondo Beach and focuses heavily on South Bay businesses, but most work can happen over web chat, email, and screen-share. Local clients can also book in-person help when a kickoff, workshop, or assessment needs it.

Where should a business start if it is new to AI?

Start with an AI readiness assessment. It identifies where AI can realistically increase revenue, save labor, improve follow-up, or reduce busywork, and it also flags the places where AI is not worth spending money yet.

Can AI help a local business get more leads?

Yes, when it is tied to a real lead path. AI can help create better service pages, answer customer questions, improve local SEO, build follow-up systems, draft outreach, and keep missed opportunities from going cold.

Do you build custom AI workflow systems or just teach people tools?

Both. Some businesses only need coaching and workflow cleanup. Others need intake helpers, content systems, internal knowledge tools, or automation that connects the tools they already use.

How much does it cost to start?

The Lite AI readiness assessment is $499. Coaching starts at $150 for a 90-minute session, AI consulting is $175/hr, and larger consulting, training, SEO, or build projects are scoped in writing before work starts.
