Cedar Falls is a University of Northern Iowa college town, which means a customer base that turns over every few years as students arrive and graduate.
Between UNI students and longtime Cedar Falls residents, local businesses serve two very different rhythms of return customer. The AI Tools Assessment looks at whether automatic review requests and AI chat booking would help a Cedar Falls business build a reputation that survives the constant turnover of a college town.
Based in Altoona, Iowa (Des Moines metro). Available to Cedar Falls and small businesses across the state, by phone, video, or in person.
What the assessment checks for Cedar Falls businesses
The AI Tools Assessment checks your business against a short list. If something doesn't apply, you won't hear a pitch for it.
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.
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, any time of day.
Automated lead follow-up
A lead who doesn't hear back in minutes often stops looking. Automatic follow-up closes more of what a Cedar Falls business is already getting.
Automatic review requests
Happy customers rarely leave a review on their own. Asking at the right moment, automatically, is usually all it takes.

One person, not a call center
Easy Biz Tech is run by Ted Gaunt, based in Altoona, Iowa, in the Des Moines metro. 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 client base so far is mostly Des Moines metro, built by word of mouth: the kind of businesses people already know and trust, plus churches, ministries, and musicians. For a Cedar Falls business, the assessment works the same way, by phone and video, with an in-person visit if it makes sense. He's one person who listens first, then tells you the truth about what AI would and wouldn't do for you.
