Your website should be as easy to update as Facebook.
Tell it what changed. The system handles the rest. Your website, customer inquiries, and online content all working together, without another dashboard to learn.
Running your business is already a full-time job.
You shouldn't need to become a web developer, marketing specialist, or AI expert to keep your business online.
That's our job.
-
Your website still advertises services you stopped offering two years ago.
-
Your hours changed, but three different websites still show the old ones.
-
You have photos of completed jobs sitting on your phone.
-
Customers keep calling with questions you've answered a hundred times.
-
Your website, Facebook page, and business listings all say slightly different things.
-
Every time you need something updated, you have to contact somebody.
Facebook is a great place to talk to your customers. Your website should be the place they can always find the answers.
Built for home service and local service businesses:
One system. Built around your business.
Your Website
A professionally developed, mobile-friendly website that helps customers understand your services, find your business, and contact you. Designed for search visibility, performance, and accessibility.
Your Business Knowledge
Your services, service areas, customer questions, policies, and processes, organized in one place so nothing has to be explained twice.
Your AI Assistant
Your business knowledge is the foundation for an AI assistant that answers common questions with information specific to your business. It can be set up to answer calls, capture inquiries, and help qualify prospective customers.
Phone integration, activation, and usage costs are separate.
Your Content and Updates
New services, seasonal announcements, FAQs, and helpful articles, drafted from your business information instead of starting from scratch.
If you can send a message, you can update your website.
Your website is connected to Claude, using your own Claude account. Tell it what's new in plain language, the same way you'd text a coworker, and it prepares the changes for you.
- Say it your way. No page editors or website dashboards to learn.
- You stay in control. You decide what needs your approval before it reaches your website or social channels.
- Help when you need it. Managed clients get technical support included. Own It clients can hire us when they need help.
- New page: Snow Removal (driveways and small lots)
- Service area updated: Beloit and Rockton
- Social announcement drafted
Nothing is published until you say so.
We do the complicated part.
-
We talk.
A real conversation about your services, customers, processes, and what makes you different. If you're local, that might be on a patio with an old fashioned. If you're not, it's a call with no agenda and no clock pressure.
-
We build.
We organize your business knowledge, build or rebuild your website, connect it so you can update it by conversation, and set up anything else included in your package.
-
You run your business.
When something changes, you say so. Your website keeps up with your business instead of falling behind it.
Your website doesn't stop working when we finish building it.
Your business information stays organized. Your website can evolve as your services change. Your connected tools keep working from the same source of information.
You don't have to start another project every time your business changes.
Your business already knows the answers.
We call it your Knowledge Stockpile: everything we learn about your business, organized so your website, assistant, and content say the same things you would.
Structured information that helps AI tools produce relevant, consistent results instead of generic guesses. AI can still make mistakes, which is why you control what gets published.
We look for the patterns in your reviews and make sure your best qualities show up in your marketing.
What you tell us gets compared against industry research. Anything missing gets sourced and checked. Anything that doesn't fit your business gets cut.
Enterprise experience. Small business common sense.
I've spent 20 years building websites and business systems, including complex enterprise applications where accessibility, reliability, and performance matter.
A landscaping company in Beloit doesn't need that overhead. It does benefit from the same principles: organized information, reliable systems, and accessible websites. Whether you want to own and operate the technology yourself or have us manage it, you get a system built around your business.
- One person accountable for building your system
- Plain language, not tech jargon
- Built for local service businesses, not scaled-down enterprise
- You control what gets published
Two ways to buy. The same system.
Both options include the same core capabilities. The difference is who owns it, who hosts it, who maintains it, and how you pay. Managed includes ongoing platform improvements; Own It is a purchase of the system as delivered.
Own It
Your system. Your hosting. Your control.
We build it. You own it. You run it. A complete system with no ongoing obligation to us.
- We build and configure your website, Knowledge Stockpile, and included integrations
- Deployed to your own hosting
- You own and control your website and infrastructure
- No required monthly payment to Variable Squirrel
- The complete system as it exists at purchase
- Hosting and domain renewals
- Third-party subscriptions and API usage
- Ongoing maintenance
- Future feature releases and upgrades. Development and upgrade assistance is available separately.
Additional technical assistance is available at an hourly rate.
Managed
Your business. Your content. We handle the technology.
A custom-built system without the upfront investment or the responsibility of maintaining the technology.
- All future system updates and new features included.
- No upfront build fee
- We build, configure, host, and deploy your system
- Hosting, maintenance, security, and backups
- Performance, uptime, and search health monitoring
- Your integrations maintained and kept running
- Technical support
- Your website updates and content, using Claude
We don't write your content, manage your social media, or handle routine marketing for you.
With either option: you run the system through your own Claude account. Any Claude subscription and third-party API usage costs are separate from our fees. No website dashboards, page builders, or coding to learn.
AI phone assistant: available with either option. Phone integration, activation, and usage costs are separate, and we'll give you a realistic estimate before you commit.
Your website should work for you, not become another job.
Tell us about your business. We'll walk through what this would look like for you and answer every question you have. No pitch deck. No pressure.
