AI Automation Case Studies for South Carolina Service Businesses

Overview

Angela Cash is a commercial and residential real estate agent with Southern Visions Realty, focused on Lake Murray homes and commercial deals across the Midlands. Her domain was pointed at a dead AWS WebsiteBuilder instance returning a 405 error to every visitor. She had no recurring content, no Search Console integration, no automated SEO, and no realistic path to compete on commercial real estate search terms in Lexington, Columbia, and the Lake Murray corridor. We rebuilt her digital presence from a broken redirect into a compounding SEO engine that publishes itself.

Outcome

Site is live, indexed in Google Search Console, and shipping new SEO pages every week with zero involvement from Angela. The first three blog posts published the day the system went live, and the programmatic location grid covers ~1.9 years of weekly content across 10 Midlands cities and 10 commercial real estate intents. Topic selection is wired directly to GSC keyword data, so the system targets terms her site is already ranking on page two for, the exact opportunities most likely to climb to page one.

Overview

Palmetto Peptides came to us with an existing Shopify storefront that wasn't converting. We rebuilt everything from scratch, custom domain setup, a fully redesigned site built to their brand, and a complete automation layer covering lead capture, email/SMS lifecycle, and SEO content. Within two months of launch, monthly profit had doubled. By month three it had doubled again.

Results based on owner-reported monthly revenue figures pre- and post-launch. Exact numbers available on request pending CEO approval for public disclosure.

Outcome

The business went from a generic Shopify template with no automation to a polished branded storefront running on a custom domain, with weekly SEO content publishing automatically, lifecycle flows nurturing every customer post-purchase, and a follow-up system recovering abandoned carts without manual effort.

Stack used

Custom domain + DNS, Shopify, Klaviyo, Twilio, custom SEO publishing pipeline.

Overview

MAXX Pro Painting and Home Repairs LLC had no website, no professional email, and no way for potential customers to verify they were a real business. We built their entire digital identity from the ground up, 11-page site, custom brand theme, 1,081 job photos pulled directly from their Facebook page via the Graph API, a professional Microsoft 365 email under their own @maxxprollc.com domain, and an AI content engine that keeps them ranking week after week.

Outcome

MAXX Pro now has a complete, professional digital identity, custom domain, branded Outlook email, a photo-heavy site that shows real work, and a blog engine compounding their SEO every week. They went from unverifiable to undeniable in the time it takes most contractors to return a voicemail.

Stack used

Railway (nginx + Python cron), GitHub, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Microsoft 365, Facebook Graph API, Claude API, custom SEO publishing pipeline.

Overview

Caddy Shak Indoor Golf Club came to us with a painted-sign logo, a domain idea, and no online presence. We built their entire web stack from scratch, a custom Next.js marketing site, full domain and DNS infrastructure across GoDaddy and Cloudflare, Railway hosting with auto-deploy, and a clean SEO foundation ready for Google indexing on day one.

Outcome

Caddy Shak launched with a fast, server-rendered site behind Cloudflare's CDN, full SSL, and a sitemap already indexed by Google. Every push to main ships to production automatically. Next phase: booking system integration with email confirmations, plus Google Business Profile management with automated review responses.
