What It Is
Use an AI prospecting tool synced to Google Maps to find local businesses (plumbers, electricians, and similar trades) that don't have a website, build each one a free demo website automatically, then upsell a $300 to $1,500 a month "AI upgrade" package that adds a chat widget, voice AI receptionist, missed-call text-back, review automation, and a unified inbox, all set up through a white-labeled GoHighLevel account in under 20 seconds.
The Pitch
Wardrop cites research that roughly 28-31% of small local businesses still don't have a website, and frames the free-website offer as a foot-in-the-door tactic rather than the actual product: once a business owner says yes to the free site, the AI upgrade package (which he prices at a combined $2,800/month "total value") is the real recurring offer. He provides an exact cold-call and text-message script for reaching business owners once their contact info and a working demo site are already in hand.
Who It’s Best For
Someone comfortable doing outbound phone and text outreach to local business owners, and who wants a fully templated, software-driven offer rather than building anything custom from scratch.
The Truth (as we see it)
Wardrop discloses this is built around his own white-labeled software product and free workshop funnel, and the $2,800/month "total value" figure is his own bundled pricing framework rather than a documented amount any single client has actually paid. The underlying mechanic, Google Maps prospecting for businesses without websites plus a free-site-then-upsell sequence, is specific and independently testable regardless of which particular software is used to execute it.
