Texts, emails, quotes, follow-ups, seasonal outreach, review requests — the stuff that piles up while you're on a roof or behind a mower. I build automations that handle it for you. Based in Latham. Working with trades and service businesses across the Capital Region.
You didn't start your business to type the same quote for the fourteenth time. Or to watch a lead go cold because you were on a ladder. Here's what I hear the most:
Phone rings mid-job. Goes to voicemail. By the time you call back at 5, they've already booked your competitor. Most people who need a trade today book whoever answers first.
Spring cleanup text. Quote confirmation. "Just checking in on that estimate." You've written these a thousand times. This is the stuff machines are good at.
Texts, emails, a spreadsheet, notes in your truck, Jobber, QuickBooks. Nothing talks to anything. Something always falls through.
The people who already trust you are the easiest money in your pipeline. But nobody called them in March. So they called someone else.
I don't do everything. I do a few things that pay back fast, and I do them in a way that actually fits how you already work.
A new lead calls or submits a form. Within 60 seconds, they get a friendly, on-brand text that answers common questions and offers to book a callback. Runs while you're on a job, at dinner, or asleep.
Most clients stop losing "whoever answers first" jobs within a weekEvery spring, fall, or turnover season, your past customers get a personalized message from you at exactly the right time — automatically. They reply, you get a text alert, you book the job.
Landscapers typically recover 15–30% of lapsed customers per seasonYou send an estimate. Three days of silence. Then a week. Most shops just let those die. I build sequences that politely nudge at day 3, 7, and 14 — and stop automatically when they book.
Clients typically see 20–30% more estimates acceptedOnce something is live, I monitor it, fix what breaks, and tweak it as your business changes. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. Most clients keep me around for this — it costs less than a single lost job.
I watch so you don't have toGreat question. Most of my clients do have Jobber or Housecall Pro. Those platforms are great at what they do — but there's a gap between what they do out of the box and what your business actually needs. That gap is my job.
This is one I see every spring with landscapers. Same story, different company names.
"Hi, just checking if you want spring cleanup this year?" — copy, paste, send, wait, track the replies in a notebook. Miss 30 of them because you got pulled onto a job. By the time you catch up, a third booked someone else.
Personalized with their name, their property, and what they had done last year. Replies get routed straight to your phone. You see "YES — Tuesday works" and book it in two seconds. Runs every year without you touching it.
I've spent 18 years in sales and operations, mostly in insurance — which means I've spent 18 years watching good small businesses lose real money to stuff that could run itself. Missed calls. Forgotten follow-ups. Spreadsheets that should have been databases. Spring mailings that never went out.
A couple years ago I started building automations for myself, then for friends, then for their businesses. Turns out I'm good at it, and I like it a lot more than writing insurance quotes. So I'm building this business on the side — with the plan to make it my full-time thing once the client list says I should.
I'm a one-person shop based right here in Latham. No offshore team, no sales rep calling you next week, no six-figure enterprise pitch. If you book a call on this site, you're talking to me. I explain things in plain English. I don't use words like "synergy." And when the job is done, it's done — no subscription lock-in to my tools, no weird dependencies. You own it.
I'm not going to show you fake testimonials or AI-generated case studies. Anthony Automates is a new venture, and you deserve to know that. So here's how I'm handling it:
For my first five clients in the Capital Region: if the automation I build doesn't save you at least 5 hours a week in the first 30 days, you pay nothing. Not a discount, not a refund-on-request — nothing. I eat the cost, you keep what I built.
I'm doing it this way because I'm confident in the work, and because testimonials are worth more to me than your deposit. If it works, I'd love to feature your business here. If it doesn't, we part as friends and you're out zero dollars.

30 minutes on the phone. No sales pitch. No tech jargon. I'll ask questions, you'll talk about your business, and you'll leave knowing exactly what you could automate — whether you hire me or not.
