Where leads leak

They sent the same brief to four studios.

By the numbers · industry data, not our results

23%

of 2,241 US companies audited never responded to a web inquiry at all.

Industry data: Harvard Business Review, 2011

A business owner wants a new website. They send the same brief to four studios on Monday morning.

The studio that replies first, with smart questions, gets the discovery call. You were in a client review and replied on Wednesday.

Then there's the project you did win, stalled for three weeks waiting on the client's content and approvals.

Project inquiries that wait

Prospects often contact several studios. The first good reply has the edge.

Quotes sent once

Quotes go quiet without a follow-up.

Chasing content and approvals

Projects stall waiting on copy, images and sign-offs.

Milestone invoicing

Invoices that go out late, and overdue ones nobody chases.

Put in your own numbers to see your own rough estimate. Nothing is filled in for you, and nothing here is data about your business or your industry.

Your estimated work at risk per monthEnter your three numbers to see your estimate.

Your estimate, based on the numbers you enter. Not a quote or a promise. It's the value of work that may be slipping away, not a price for our services. The free AI audit replaces it with your real numbers.

The Free AI Audit

How it works

This is the form, inbox and proposal version of the audit: how fast new inquiries get a first reply, what happens out of hours, and how quotes and proposals are followed up. It uses your numbers, not industry guesses.

  1. A short intro call

    30 minutes, free, booked below. Tell Nicolas how new inquiries, follow-up and proposals work today. If it's not a fit, he'll tell you on the call.

  2. Nicolas reviews it

    He works from your numbers and, only if you agree, one or two test inquiries at times you choose. We never test your business without telling you first.

  3. A short one-page report

    Nicolas gives you a date for it on the call. It covers where your leads leak, a rough monthly cost (clearly labeled as an estimate), and the 1–3 fixes we'd make first, ranked by payback. It's yours to keep, whether or not we ever work together.

What the audit looks at for web design and creative studios

  • How fast new project inquiries get a first reply
  • Whether the first reply collects what you need (budget, timeline, scope)
  • How quotes and proposals are followed up
  • How client content, feedback and approvals are collected
  • How milestone invoices are sent and chased
  • Where details get re-typed between inbox, project tool and invoicing

What we don't do: call your business pretending to be a customer without telling you, share your numbers, or use them for anything else.

After the audit

lower odds of reaching a web lead by phone when it was called at 30 minutes instead of within 5 minutes.

Industry data: Lead Response Management Study (MIT / InsideSales.com), 2007

If the audit finds something worth fixing, you get a fixed-price plan in writing. There's no public price list, because every business runs different tools and has different leaks. You'll know the cost before any work starts.

Ava, 24/7 AI receptionist

Optional: if prospects call, Ava answers, asks your project questions and books a discovery call.

Missed-call text-back

A missed call from a prospect gets a text from your studio's number automatically.

Lead follow-up

A fast first reply that asks your three key questions, so you write the custom reply with the answers in hand. Quotes followed up on a schedule, in your voice.

Office automation

Content and approval requests that chase themselves, milestone invoicing and overdue reminders, and a weekly project summary.

Second free option

Free Website & ChatGPT Visibility Audit

of mobile searchers say they're more likely to look at other brands if a business has no phone number in its search results.

Industry data: Google / Ipsos, The Role of Click to Call, 2013

Not phone-heavy, or want to start smaller? We check your public website: your Google PageSpeed scores, whether calling or booking is obvious on a phone, your basic search setup, and whether ChatGPT and other answer engines recommend you or a competitor for searches like "web design agency near me". It's free: you get a short one-page report, and Nicolas gives you a date for it on the call. Nothing to install, and we only look at what's public.

AI answers change from one run to the next, so the report is a dated snapshot, not a ranking.

Proof, honestly

We're new. Here's how we earn your trust.

We don't have case studies to show you yet, and we won't make any up. Instead: the audit is free and you keep the report; you can hear the system working before you spend a dollar; and if it's not a fit, we'll say so.

Who you'll talk to

Nicolas Sposato, CEO of Executive Automation. He runs the intro call, reviews your audit himself and sends you the report.

Is this for you?

Good fit

  • Owner-led studio with 5–200 staff
  • Project inquiries come by form and email
  • Projects stall waiting on clients
  • Quotes and invoices need chasing

Probably not a fit

  • Freelancers or solo designers
  • Studios with a full-time producer already handling every follow-up
  • AI or automation agencies (we'd be competitors)

FAQ

Straight answers

Questions from web design and creative studios

Our leads need a custom reply, not a template.

Agreed. The automatic reply acknowledges them and asks the questions you'd ask. Then you write the real reply, faster, with the answers already in hand.

Can you automate content collection?

Yes. Requests for copy, images and approvals go out on a schedule and stop as soon as the client delivers.

We build websites. Could we do this ourselves?

Maybe, and the audit report is yours to keep either way. The real question is whether it's the best use of your team's billable hours.

Common objections

How much does it cost?

There's no public price list, because every business runs different tools and has different leaks. The audit is free. If you want help afterwards, you get a fixed price in writing before any work starts: no day rates and no surprise invoices.

What exactly is in the free AI audit?

A one-page report: where your leads leak, a rough monthly cost estimate (clearly labeled as an estimate and built only from your numbers), and the 1–3 fixes we'd make first, ranked by payback. It's yours to keep.

Is the audit really free? What's the catch?

No catch. It's how we find out whether we can help. You keep the report either way, and if there's nothing worth fixing, we'll tell you. You can also start with the free Website & ChatGPT Visibility Audit.

How long does the report take?

It's a short one-page report, and Nicolas gives you a date for it on the call. There's no fixed turnaround, because it depends on what the audit needs to look at.

We already have a receptionist, an answering service or someone on it.

Good. The audit is still a useful check: it shows what happens to the calls and inquiries that slip past (lunch, after hours, two lines ringing at once, the busy weeks). If everything's covered, you'll have that in writing, and we'll tell you there's nothing to fix.

AI sounds robotic. My customers won't like it.

That's the right worry. Listen to the demo and judge for yourself. If Ava isn't good enough for your customers, we shouldn't build it. She can hand off to a person whenever you want.

Will customers know they're talking to AI?

You decide how Ava introduces herself, but we don't recommend pretending she's a person.

Does it work with my software?

We build inside the tools you already use. Tell us what you run (HubSpot, Notion, ClickUp, Dubsado or HoneyBook) on the intro call, and we'll confirm exactly how we'd connect to it before you commit to anything.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Ava and missed-call text-back run on your existing number.

How fast is the first system live?

Fast. We start with one system and build it inside your existing tools, and the timeline is agreed in writing before we start.

Is there a contract? What if I want out?

Builds are a fixed scope at a fixed price, usually a deposit up front and the balance on delivery. Ongoing support is optional, billed monthly, and can be canceled any month. Before work starts, you get a full refund. You own the setup, scripts, data and logins, so nothing is held hostage. See our refund policy.

Is my data safe?

Systems are built inside your own tools and accounts. Your data stays yours, it's never used to train anyone else's software, and a person stays in charge of anything touching money or customers. We'll map exactly what each piece touches on the intro call.

We tried automation before and it didn't work.

That's common, often because it was a big project that never shipped, or nobody owned it after launch. We start small: fixed scope up front, one system first, built in your tools, with a person in charge. Tell us what broke last time, and we'll tell you honestly whether we'd hit the same wall.

We're too small, or too busy, for this.

Could be, and we'll tell you if so. The audit sometimes finds nothing worth fixing. But small teams often lose the most per missed inquiry, because the owner is the one on the job. The call is 30 minutes, and you can book a slot a few weeks out.

Who will I talk to?

Nicolas Sposato, CEO of Executive Automation. He runs the intro call, reviews your audit himself and sends the report.

Do you have case studies?

Not yet. We're new, and we'd rather show you a live demo and a free AI audit than invent numbers.
