When emergencies hit at 2 a.m., locals called them. But the next generation of customers were asking ChatGPT for an emergency plumber, and the company was nowhere to be found." +- Execution: "A step-by-step plan our team executed while the owner ran the business" — "From the day the business signed up for **Stay Found**, our team handled everything." +- Result headline: "**Score went from 21 to 70. Calls tripled. In 90 days.**" (Note: hero says "67 days," headline says "90 days" — timeline inconsistency on page.) + +## Key Claims & Stats +- This Tampa company: **18 years in business**, strong local reputation, yet "nowhere to be found" for AI emergency-plumbing searches. +- **Score: 21 → 70** (dashboard, 90 days after starting Stay Found). +- "**Calls tripled. In 90 days.**" +- **Timeline mismatch**: hero headline "67 days"; results block "90 days." +- Testimonial (owner): "The calls have roughly tripled and I did not touch a computer." +- Methods caveat: "Every number below is from the business's Bizl dashboard, 90 days after starting Stay Found." — self-reported dashboard figures, no independent verification (Tier-3). +- Product/service line named: **Stay Found**. + +## Offer / Pricing Details (if applicable) +- No pricing on page. Free audit CTA: "Takes 4 minutes. Our team handles everything after." +- Product line named: **Stay Found**. + +## Process / How It Works +- Free audit finds the AI gap → "step-by-step plan our team executed while the owner ran the business" → dashboard-tracked 90-day Stay Found window. +- Fully done-for-you: "Bizl handles all of it. I just answer the phone and show up." + +## Notable Strengths or Patterns +- **Urgent-demand vertical** (emergency/2 a.m.): emotional weight of missing calls in an emergency. +- **Tech-aversion persona**: owner "I am a plumber, not a marketer. I do not have time to learn schema or whatever it is called." Blue-collar relatability. +- "Did not touch a computer" = fully done-for-you labor-removal message. +- "Beyond the numbers" qual section alongside quant headline. +- Dashboard numbers + 90-day window lend veneer of precision. + +## Notes for Digital Operations Partner +- **Silent Customer Loss**: Compelling discovery-failure story — a reputable business financially bleeding emergency calls it never knew it was losing. DOP's central wedge; DOP should prove the loss with measured pre/post call data, not anecdote. +- **Evidence quality**: Score (21→70) and "calls tripled" sourced only to Bizl dashboard (Tier-3, n=1, self-reported). "Tripled" is survey-level; no baseline call volume shown. DOP can supply verified metrics and clear definitions. +- **Timeline inconsistency** (67 vs 90 days) is a minor credibility slip on the page worth noting; DOP's measured reporting should be internally consistent. +- **Human supervision vs black-box**: Black-box "handles all of it — I did not touch a computer" is sold as a benefit; DOP = human-supervised + agent-assisted where the owner understands and approves. Transparency differentiates. +- **PoC-style entry**: free audit ("Takes 4 minutes") mirrors DOP Cold Audit → PoC → Retainer. +- **Conversion patterns**: urgent-demand framing, tech-aversion persona, labor-removal ("did not touch a computer"), dashboard numbers, quick-audit CTA. +
