What Goes Into the Math

Time Recovery

We measure the hours your team spends on tasks a workflow can do — follow-ups, reminders, data entry, scheduling. At your effective rate, that's real money.

Average service business: 8–15 hrs/week on automatable tasks
💬
Lead Response Revenue

Research shows leads contacted within 5 minutes convert at 8x the rate of those contacted after 30 minutes. Every slow response is a revenue leak.

Harvard Business Review: 5-min response = 21x more likely to qualify
Review Velocity

Salons, contractors, and clinics with 100+ reviews at 4.8+ stars get 40–60% more organic bookings. Automated review requests typically 4–6x monthly volume.

Most businesses miss 70–80% of review opportunities

Common Questions About ROI

How accurate is this calculator?

The calculator uses conservative industry benchmarks — 15% of slow-responded leads lost, 52-week year, no markup on time value. Real results often exceed estimates, especially for businesses with high ticket values or large lead volumes. The audit gives you precise numbers based on your actual situation.

What's the typical payback period for automation?

Most service businesses see full ROI within 60–90 days for lead response and follow-up automations. Review request automations typically generate 10–20 new reviews per month, which compounds over time in organic search rankings and booking rates.

Does this work for small businesses?

Yes — the math works best for businesses where the owner's time is the constraint. A solo operator spending 10 hours per week on manual tasks is effectively losing $75,000+ per year in billable or growth time, depending on their rate.

What's included in a free audit?

We review your current tools, identify the 3–5 highest-impact automations for your specific business, estimate build hours and cost, and give you a prioritized roadmap. No obligation, no pitch — just the map.

How long does it take to build?

Most individual workflow builds take 1–2 weeks. A full operations stack (5+ workflows) typically takes 4–6 weeks. Everything is scoped before any work begins so there are no surprises.
