// WHO WE ARE

Built by an operator.
Not a developer.

AP Consulting was founded in Brisbane by a systems builder with a background in finance, operations, and business development across multiple industries.

We don't resell tools. We design and install AI-powered operational systems — built specifically for owner-operated businesses that are tired of losing leads, chasing jobs, and doing everything manually.

Background spanning operations, commercial management and two years evaluating private businesses for hands-on ownership — before AI consulting was a title.

PROBLEM 01
Leads come in after hours — and go cold before you call back
PROBLEM 02
You're spending hours on follow-ups, reminders, and admin that could run automatically
PROBLEM 03
You're the bottleneck — nothing moves without you

This isn't a people problem. It's a systems problem.

// THE REAL COST

Every week without a system
is a week of lost revenue.

Missed leads. Manual follow-up. Repeat admin. These aren't one-off problems — they compound. Every month you operate without automation infrastructure, the gap between you and competitors who have it gets wider.

78%
of leads never get a same-day response
11hrs
lost per week to tasks automation handles in minutes
3×
more revenue per operator in systemised businesses

*Indicative industry figures. Results vary by business type and implementation.

// THE AP DIFFERENCE

Why AP?

01AI

I map where automation creates real leverage — lead capture, booking, follow-up, CRM sync — using Make, Airtable and AI agents.

02PRACTICAL

Years operating and evaluating real businesses means I know what breaks. I'll tell you what to leave alone, not just what to sell you.

03BUILT, NOT JUST ADVISED

The audit isn't the end product. It's the map. I build the system that follows.

// FAQ

Common Questions

Our flagship AI Lead & Booking System starts at $3,500 for setup and an optional $500/month Care Plan for ongoing support and maintenance. A separate $1,000/month Advisory Retainer is available for clients who want ongoing strategic direction (see below). We also offer custom scoped engagements depending on complexity.

No. We build around your existing stack — whether that's a CRM, booking platform, or just a phone and email setup.

Most systems are live within 2–3 weeks from the point of sign-off.

Yes. You own the system. We offer an optional Care Plan for ongoing support, updates, and optimisation — but it's not mandatory.

Yes. We handle the build and integration. You and your team receive a full handover so you can run it without technical knowledge.

A receptionist works set hours, calls in sick, and costs $50,000–$65,000 per year in salary alone. This system runs 24/7, responds in under 2 minutes, never misses a lead, and costs less than $500/month to maintain after setup. It doesn't replace your team — it handles the volume your team can't.

We don't resell software. The $500/month covers API licensing for the tools your system uses, continuous AI model tuning, system monitoring, security updates, and direct support access. It keeps the system sharp and running — it's an optional, cancel-anytime Care Plan, not a lock-in contract.

The $500/month Care Plan keeps your built system running — monitoring, API licensing, model tuning, and support. The $1,000/month Advisory Retainer is a separate, optional service: a fractional AI director for businesses already running systems who want ongoing architecture and workflow decisions. Most clients only need the Care Plan.

No lock-in. The setup fee covers the full build. The $500/month Care Plan is optional and can be cancelled with 30 days notice. You own the system outright after delivery.
