Roadies AI

You know AI can help your business. You don't have time to figure out how.

Roadies gives you your own AI team that learns your business first. The people who built Roadies work with you to set it up, show you what it can do, and make sure it delivers what you ask for.

Who is winning the customers I want?

Someone is winning the customers you want. See who.

The free Roadies Opening Act runs the searches your customers run and asks AI assistants who they recommend. It shows you three things.

Who's winning your customers.
The businesses that come back when your buyers search or ask AI, and what each one really is.
What's keeping AI from recommending you.
Your AI visibility: what on your site makes you hard for AI tools to find, understand, or choose.
Your score.
Built from three areas: whether AI tools can find you, whether your website makes clear who you serve, and what sets you apart. Each area is measured against what AI tools need before they'll recommend a business, and against what competitors in your category typically claim, so you know where the missing points are and what to fix first.
What the Opening Act shows you

Roadies starts by getting to know your business. Here is what that looks like, for a sample company.

Opening Act for Oxbend Heating & Air

Regional HVAC company

Score 51/ 100

Band: Coming through faint

AI tools can find you. They can't yet say why you.

When we asked an AI assistant for emergency AC repair nearby, it named three companies. Oxbend Heating & Air was not one of them.

  1. 1

    Pellstone Heating & Cooling

    Direct local competitor

    Family-owned, leads with 24-hour emergency service.

  2. 2

    Wrenfield Comfort Co.

    Direct local competitor

    Installation-focused, leads with financing on new systems.

  3. 3

    Evercourt Home Services

    National chain

    Multi-state home services brand with a local branch.

  4. This business: not on the bill.

The finding is not “here are your competitors.”

It is “here is who is capturing the demand you are not.”

Sound Check for Oxbend Heating & Air

Regional HVAC company

  • 14 pages and files read
  • 5 searches run the way buyers search
  • 7 businesses named and labeled
  • 9 findings, ranked by what each is costing you
  • 1 Critical
  • 3 High
  • 3 Medium
  • 2 Low

Severity reflects estimated impact on revenue or trust, not effort to fix.

Finding 01 · Critical

Absent from the searches the homepage is written to win.

Every search built around emergency repair, the service the homepage leads with, named three competitors and never Oxbend. It is losing consistently, not narrowly.

Evidence: five live searches.

Finding 02 · High

The site leads with installation. Most of what the service pages describe is repair.

Seven of nine service pages cover repair and maintenance, while the homepage and title lead with new systems. A buyer or an AI assistant comparing the two gets mixed signals about what this business is.

Evidence: the homepage and nine service pages.

What is working

The service-area pages are specific, consistent and current, which is exactly what an AI answer needs to place a local business.

One of our questions

Is repair or installation the business you want more of? It decides whether Finding 02 is a messaging fix or a strategy question.

It finds, it does not fix.

Sample competitive landscape

How do I stay ahead of my competitors?

Stop finding out last.

Roadies keeps your competitors, your customers and your market in view and tells you in plain language what changed and what it means for your business. You hear about a competitor's new offer while you can still respond, not after it shows up in your numbers.

More customers. Better decisions. Time back to run the company.

How your Roadies team keeps you current

Does Roadies learn my business?

Bands have their own roadies. So do you.

When you start, a Roadies crew is assembled for your business alone. Your crew learns your market, your customers and your competitors, and it learns you: the direction you set, how you like to work, and what you have already ruled out.

Everything the system learns about doing the work well, you get. Everything it learns about you stays yours.

Who is behind Roadies?

AI does the work. Experience knows what good work looks like.

Roadies combines an AI operating team with the experience of the operators who built it. Between us, we have led large-scale enterprise organizations, built and led companies, developed competitive intelligence functions, served complex clients and designed technology and security environments inside highly regulated industries.

That experience matters. AI can research, analyze, draft and recommend. Knowing what's practical, and turning the work into action, takes people who have run organizations.

How we work with you

You set the direction. Your Roadies team does the work. And the people behind it, who have spent decades running organizations, make sure that work is practical, relevant and ready to act on.

What you get at each step

What do clients say about Roadies?

“Roadies has shifted my perspective.”

“I am a self-described AI skeptic, and my previous experience has often been that AI offers a lot and delivers little of substance. Roadies has shifted my perspective. I view Roadies as a very powerful, yet accessible tool, one that is particularly relevant to my challenges as a small business owner.”

Who Roadies is for

What happens to my business data?

Your data is yours.

Your data is yours, and nothing material happens without your approval. The free Roadies Opening Act starts with nothing but your website and never asks you to connect an account.

How we handle your data

Questions business owners and leaders ask us

Who am I actually competing with when customers search for what I sell?
You are competing with whoever gets named when your buyer searches or asks an AI assistant for what you sell, and that is often a different list from the one you have in mind.
Why doesn't my business show up when people ask ChatGPT?
AI assistants name the businesses that the sources they read describe clearly and consistently, so a business can look fine to a person and still be passed over in an AI answer.
Do I need to know anything about AI to use Roadies?
No. You need to know your business, and you already do.
How is a Roadies competitive read different from a SWOT analysis?
A SWOT analysis is a snapshot of what you already know on the day you write it, while the read your Roadies team keeps tells you how sure it is and gets revised when the facts move.
I'm trying to decide between a fractional CMO, a marketing agency and an AI tool. Which one does my business need?
Start with what you're missing: someone to decide what to do, someone to do it, or both.
Is it safe to give Roadies my business data?
Your data is yours: nothing material happens without your approval, and the free Opening Act starts with nothing but your website and never asks you to connect an account.
