What if your sales pitch could run itself? That's the idea behind the website audit tool that Logan Greenhaw, Owner of TrailMix Creative, built using Gravity Forms, GravityWiz's API Alchemist add-on, and a handful of clever API integrations. In this episode, Logan walks us through how he turned a tedious manual process — running SEO audits for prospective clients — into a streamlined, AI-assisted lead generation engine that does the heavy lifting for him.
Logan and Matt also dig into the realities of running a full-service creative agency over the past decade: the pressure to say yes to everything, how client expectations have shifted in the age of AI, and why the "anyone can just use ChatGPT" sentiment is both a real threat and a bit overblown. If you're an agency owner trying to figure out how to use smarter tooling to generate better leads and close more clients, this one's for you.
