the short answer

What is askotter?

askotter is a managed website and marketing service for owner-operated businesses in the United States. askotter builds the site on the owner's own domain, runs the SEO and the AI search visibility, and takes change requests by text message, with a person reviewing every change before it publishes. Plans are $99/mo self-managed and $600/mo managed.

who we build for

Built for the owner who is the service.

Our customers do the work themselves. A hygienist gets twenty minutes between patients and it goes to notes.

Why it runs from your phoneShow less

Nobody who has been under a car since seven is opening a website builder that evening. So the marketing waits for Sunday, and most Sundays it keeps waiting. askotter is built to run from the phone that is already in your pocket.

01 · the bays are empty tomorrow

“Three bays open tomorrow. Send our customers something.”

Whiskers writes the offer, pulls the customers who have not been in for a while, and texts you the draft with the size of the list. Reply YES and it is out within minutes.

02 · you changed a price

“New patient exam is $89 now.”

Every page carrying the old number gets rewritten. One preview link comes back, at an address only you can open, before any of it is public.

03 · you added a service

“We do Invisalign now.”

A page gets written for it, with the questions people ask about it answered on the page. It goes live on your domain once you say so.

04 · something slipped

“Calls from your contact page are down 30% since the form changed.”

That one starts on our side. The site reads your Search Console and GA4, and when a page stops earning what it used to, the text arrives with the fix already drafted.

See the screens None of that needs a laptop or a login. A person reviews every change before it reaches your visitors.
text whiskers · one thread, every channel

Text Whiskers to get it done.

The website, the SEO, the promotions and the ad budgets all move through one text thread. You answer in your own words, and a person reviews every change before your customers see it.

Website
Prices, opening hours, a service you just added, a whole new page.
SEO
The monthly work, and the fix when a page that used to earn calls starts slipping.
Promotions
An offer written and sent to your customer list, put on your homepage and pushed to your Google profile.
Paid ads
Google and Meta budgets, and a straight answer on what each one booked.

Screen recordings of the product. The clinic, the garage, the domain and every figure in them are invented, so they show you an interface and never a client result. Nothing on your site changes without your reply, and every change can be undone.

See every screen All ten screens the thread carries, on one page.
we build it · it keeps learning

We build the site. Then it keeps getting better.

Give us the domain you already own, or describe the business in plain English, and the site is written and hosted in days. After that it reads your Google Analytics and Search Console every month. When a page starts losing calls, the fix arrives as a text with the reason attached, and nothing reaches a visitor until you reply YES.

what you get

Six jobs, one system.

The site goes live, then it keeps working. It finds what underperforms and fixes it.

The other four jobsShow less

It runs your Google and Meta budgets against the same numbers the SEO reads, and works on getting you named when someone asks an AI who to call.

It writes the promotion, sends the email campaign, answers the enquiries that come back, and when you want to know where any of it stands, you text it.

paid channels · google & meta ads

Ads tuned by the numbers Google cannot see.

Google Ads knows what a click cost. It does not know your hours, which page the click landed on, or whether anyone booked. Whiskers reads all four together every morning and tunes the account from what they say.

Which changes wait for your yesShow less

You write the rules in plain words. A search term that spends and never books gets cut on its own. Ads pause on the days you are closed. Anything that moves money, a budget shift, a new bid, a new campaign, is a text with the maths in it, and it waits for your yes. Every change lands in the same log as the website work, with the number it moved beside it. You keep the ad account and pay Google and Meta directly.

How paid channels run, and what they cost →

An illustration of the product, rebuilt in HTML for this page. The clinic, the domain, the phone number and every figure in it are invented. The rules that decide what is automatic and what asks first are set by you, in plain words, and can be changed by text. Nothing changes on your site without your yes, and every change can be undone.

answer engine optimization · aeo / geo

Searching turned into asking, and an AI answer names about three businesses.

A search page has room for ten businesses. An AI answer names two or three, and there is no page two. One agent works on that surface alone.

How it gets you namedShow less

It runs the prompts your customers type, records who got named instead of you, and rewrites your pages so a sentence can be lifted and attributed. It also corrects the facts the models have wrong about your business. A person approves every change.

Average of each client's own percentage change, measured in that client's Google Analytics over 180 days. Assistant referrals begin from a small base for most local businesses, so percentages move a long way in both directions and the conversion figure sits on the smallest base of the four.

faq

Common questions.

Short answers, in plain words.

How can you charge only $99/mo?

Because AI does the labor-intensive parts, the same AI the whole industry now uses. We pass those savings straight to you. At $99/mo you drive the web builder and ship the recommendations yourself, and the bill grows only when you ask for more compute. At $600/mo our team reviews everything and ships the work for you.

What's the difference between self-serve and managed?

Self-managed starts at $99/mo: you get the AI web builder, your hosted site, SEO, and the platform, and you decide what ships. Above that base it is priced on compute, so running more analysis or watching more ad channels raises the bill. Managed is $600/mo: our team builds the site and runs the SEO, and a human verifies every change before it goes live. Managed with paid channels is $1,000/mo.

What's the 6-month commitment?

SEO takes time, so we ask for 6 months to show real results. Cancel anytime with no penalty. Leave before 6 months and the website stays with us; complete 6 months and it is 100% yours, and we'll help you move it to another host if you ever go.

What does "human in the loop" mean?

A person on our team reads every AI-written change before it goes live on your site. The AI drafts the work and a human signs off on it.

What about PPC?

On the self-managed plan there is no paid-channel tier. You turn on Google Ads or Meta Ads and it is priced with the rest of your compute, so watching more channels costs more. You keep the ad accounts. Managed with ads is $1,000/mo, where our team runs the strategy and the day-to-day optimization, for ad budgets under $10K/mo. Ad spend is separate. You pay Google and Meta directly.
