AI Automation for Iowa Small Business

Everyone's selling you "AI for your business." Almost none of it does anything. We build the automation that actually runs your leads, bookings, and follow-up.

TG Group builds AI automation for Iowa small businesses: agentic AI that answers a missed call with a text, books a customer over chat, follows up on a lead in minutes instead of days, and asks for a review at the right moment. It all runs on GoHighLevel, the CRM and automation platform underneath it. Start with the $297 AI Tools Assessment and find out which pieces your business actually needs.

Cutting Through The Noise

Most "AI for your business" pitches are noise. Real automation is different.

Open your email and someone is trying to sell you an AI avatar, an AI-generated marketing calendar, or a chatbot with a personality. Almost none of that moves the needle for a small business. What actually helps is automated workflows that do a real job: answer the phone, book the appointment, chase the lead, ask for the review.

What gets pitched

  • Chatbot avatars with a face and a name
  • "AI replaces your front desk" pitches
  • Expensive all-in-one platforms you'll use once
  • Content generators for posts nobody reads
  • Voice AI that answers calls like a robot

What actually helps

  • A text sent automatically the moment you miss a call
  • A booking link a customer can text or chat to use
  • Follow-up that goes out in minutes, not days
  • A review request sent right after a good job
  • A website that stays current without you touching it
What AI Can Actually Do

Four things worth your money, and why

The AI Tools Assessment checks your business against this short list. If something doesn't apply, you won't hear a pitch for it.

1

Missed-call text-back

Every call that goes to voicemail is a customer who might just call the next business. A text goes out automatically the second you miss it, so the conversation doesn't end there.

2

AI chat and SMS booking

A customer texts or chats to book instead of playing phone tag. It's a two-minute job for them, and it happens whether you're on a job site or asleep.

3

Automated lead follow-up

A lead who doesn't hear back in minutes often stops looking for you. Follow-up that happens automatically closes more of what you're already getting, without you remembering to send it.

4

Automatic review requests

Happy customers rarely leave a review on their own. Asking at the right moment, automatically, is usually all it takes to build up what people see on Google.

How It Works

Three simple steps

1

Take a free class

Ted teaches free "AI for local business" classes at Iowa business organizations. No pitch, just a straight look at what AI actually does and doesn't do for a small business.

2

Get the AI Tools Assessment

A $297 session where Ted listens to how your business runs and tells you plainly which of these tools would help, and which wouldn't be worth your time.

3

Install what actually fits

Missed-call text-back, AI chat and SMS booking, lead follow-up, review requests, whatever the assessment turned up, built and run on GoHighLevel. Many businesses keep Ted on afterward to manage the automation and add more as they grow.

The Platform Underneath

All of it runs on GoHighLevel

GoHighLevel is the CRM and automation platform behind missed-call text-back, AI chat booking, lead follow-up, and review requests. Ted runs a GoHighLevel white-label agency, about 3 years in and working toward official HighLevel certification. You don't have to learn the software. He sets it up and runs it.

Who You're Talking To

One person, not a call center

TG Group is run by Ted Gaunt, based in Altoona, Iowa, through his business Easy Biz Tech. Ted spent 30 years running his own small businesses before turning to this work, so he's not selling AI he's never used himself, he's pointing out what's actually worth adopting.

His clients so far are the kind of small local businesses that find him by word of mouth: the businesses people already know and trust, plus churches, ministries, and musicians. He's not a big agency with a sales team. He's one person who listens first, then tells you the truth about what AI would and wouldn't do for you.
