WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
We won't run paid ads for any HVAC business until the missed call recovery and review layer is live.
Running ads without MAYA and ROSA is paying for leads that leak straight back out. Most agencies start with ads because that's where they make margin. We start by stopping the leak — because that's where you make money.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Shoe Repair marketing different?+
Every other category sells you a funnel. Shoe Repair customers don't use funnels — they tap, call, and book whoever answers first. Marketing for Shoe Repair is 80% response speed and review velocity, 20% acquisition. We build the response layer first.
How fast will I see results in my Shoe Repair business?+
MAYA and ROSA show up in the numbers in week one — recovered missed calls and new reviews. NIA and AVA compound over 30–90 days. Paid ads via SLOANE are turned on only after response and reviews are live.
Do you only serve Shoe Repair shops in Naperville?+
We're based in Naperville but serve Shoe Repair businesses across DuPage County, the Chicago suburbs, and all of Illinois. Everything is built around how Illinois customers actually search and book.
What does this cost for a Shoe Repair business?+
Pricing depends on which AI employees you deploy and whether you want us running paid acquisition. Most Shoe Repair shops start with the response + reviews layer and add acquisition once that's compounding.
Do I have to switch CRMs?+
No. We layer on top of what you already use. If you don't have a CRM, we set one up for you as part of onboarding — no extra software bill.
Do I need this before running ads?+
Yes. Running ads without MAYA, NIA, and ROSA in place is paying for leads that leak straight back out. We won't turn on paid spend for a Shoe Repair business until the response and review layer is live.
