Rock Island shares its name with the Army arsenal on the island in the middle of the Mississippi, and the town around it runs on a mix of government workers, history, and small independent businesses.
Rock Island's downtown and riverfront draw a different crowd than the bigger retail centers nearby. The AI Tools Assessment looks at whether automatic review requests and follow-up would help a Rock Island business build an online reputation that holds its own against businesses across the river in Iowa.
Based in Altoona, Iowa (Des Moines metro). Available to Rock Island and the Quad Cities by phone and video, with in-person visits by arrangement.
What the assessment checks for Rock Island 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 Rock Island 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 Rock Island 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.
