Owner, Total Wash Co. Building Workely.

About

I own The Total Wash Co., a pressure washing and window cleaning company in Madison, WI. My brother Vance and I got tired of missing leads after hours, so we built Workely to quote, text, and book them automatically. Happy to talk shop about pricing, home services, or SMS automation.

What should brands track beyond AI mentions?

With over 60% of searches ending without a click, search performance reporting needs to account for what users see directly in search results.

When did you last say no to your AI agent?

After enough "can I run the tests?" prompts, "can I send this to your customer?" risks becoming another button to clear.

Five months ago I asked here how people keep track of their agents. The replies went well beyond coding. In a later discussion, a builder running customer support agents made a point that stuck: people stop reviewing when checking the draft takes longer than writing the reply themselves.
