AI-CTO as a Service
Your own AI strategist + build team, on a flat monthly retainer. Priced below the big-platform and agency bands — because local business shouldn't pay enterprise overhead.
Tier 1 — AI-CTO Essentials
$497/mo
+ $297 one-time setup
For: solo / single-location — pizzeria, dental solo, solo law, single real-estate agent
- 1 AI virtual assistant (website + SMS: FAQs, scheduling, 24/7)
- Lead scoring on your existing CRM/list (auto-rank by intent)
- Monthly optimization report (what's converting, what's not)
vs $100–$500/mo chatbots that do less — you get strategy, not just a widget
Tier 2 — AI-CTO Growth
$1,497/mo
+ $997 one-time setup
For: multi-location or higher-volume — restaurant group, brokerage, dental group, insurance agency
- Everything in Essentials, plus:
- Inventory / demand optimization (dealership + restaurant modules)
- Automated follow-up sequences (abandoned lead, post-visit, service reminders)
- A/B-tested campaign targeting (cuts ad waste)
- Quarterly strategy review
vs $1,500–$5,000/mo agency builds — roughly half, same scope
Tier 3 — AI-CTO Enterprise
$3,997/mo
+ $2,497 one-time setup
For: car dealership, multi-branch insurance, regional chains
- Everything in Growth, plus:
- Fraud / warranty anomaly detection (dealership module)

vs $30K–$150K custom build + 15–20%/yr maintenance — ~$48K/yr all-in
The close: "Same or fewer staff, more conversions, less ad waste — or it's a 15-minute cancel."
