[FOR HIRE] Solo growth engineer, I build websites, booking systems & retention automation for local businesses | Remote | from $20/hr.

I'm a solo growth engineer available for freelance work. I handle the technical side of getting and keeping customers, I find where a local business loses people, before and after the first visit, and I build the fix myself. Working site, booking flow, or automation, not just advice.

So you can see how I think before spending anything, here are the leaks I run into most often in local businesses:

1. Phone tag (acquisition) - a lead calls or fills a form, doesn't get an instant reply, and books with whoever answers first. An auto-response that texts back a booking link within 60 seconds catches the ones you'd otherwise lose.
2. Invisible online (acquisition) - a slow or outdated site, a half-filled Google Business Profile, or booking that takes more than two taps. Most local buyers decide from their phone in under a minute, so friction loses them.
3. One-and-done (retention) - the expensive one. A customer gets served well, then hears nothing: no follow-up, no reason to return, no review request. Bringing an old customer back costs far less than finding a new one, and most local shops have no system for it.

Things I've built and can build for a freelance gig:

• Fast, mobile-first sites and landing pages that turn visitors into calls and bookings
• Online booking and instant lead-response setups
• Automated follow-ups, win-back messages, and repeat-visit reminders to bring past customers back
• Review-request flows that raise a Google rating (which then pulls in more leads)
• Loyalty and referral automations
• No-show and appointment reminders that protect already-booked revenue
• AI automations (Claude API, scraping, data pipelines) to cut the manual admin behind all of the above

If you hire me you can expect a clear diagnosis of where customers slip away, before booking and after the first visit, at least one working fix I've actually shipped, a faster path from "found you online" to "booked," a way to pull past customers back, and a ranked list of what I'd do next.

Rates: $20/hr, or fixed-price per project. I'm happy to start with a small scoped piece so you can see my work before committing to more. Remote.
