We use Vercel for hosting. Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights are enabled on this site and automatically collect the following on every page load — without cookies and without your name or email address:

AI-Powered Features (OpenAI)
Our website uses the OpenAI API to power two interactive tools:
- Pricing Estimator: When you use our pricing calculator, the business details you enter (business name, location, service area, industry niches, and project description) are sent to OpenAI’s servers to generate a customized estimate. This data is processed by OpenAI subject to their Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. We do not use your inputs to train AI models.
- Website Chat Assistant: When you interact with our chatbot, your messages are sent to OpenAI for processing to generate responses. Conversation content is not stored on our servers beyond the active session.
We use the gpt-4o-mini model and apply rate limiting and input validation to minimize unnecessary data transmission. By using these features, you acknowledge that your inputs are processed by OpenAI.
Appointment Scheduling (Calendly)
We use Calendly to facilitate call bookings. When you click “Book a Free Call” or schedule an appointment, you are directed to Calendly’s platform. Any information you provide during scheduling (name, email, availability) is collected and stored by Calendly subject to their Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. We receive your booking details via Calendly’s notification system.
