AI is everywhere in the news — chatbots, automation, job replacement headlines. But what actually matters if you run a local business?
In Episode 1 of Series 3: AI and the Local Business: From Headlines to Your Front Door, Emma Gordon and Arthur Finch break down the AI buzz and translate it into practical insights for plumbers, HVAC companies, cleaning services, contractors, and other service businesses.
Instead of chasing flashy AI tools, learn how to use AI to:
• Answer customer questions automatically • Handle scheduling inquiries while you're on the road • Send follow-up messages after service calls • Create simple social posts from completed jobs • Save time without replacing your team
This episode focuses on real-world AI for local businesses — not hype.
If you’re a small business owner wondering how AI automation actually fits into your daily operations, this is where to start.
