The AI Consultant for Small Business Owners in Phoenix

I run an Arizona business myself. I put AI to work there first, and I only bring you the parts that worked.

I ran my own business before I ever advised yours

Since 2018 I've run Liquid Breathwork, an Arizona Breathwork training company. I handle the sales, content, website, books, and teaching. At its low point the site got 17 clicks in a month.Google Search Console, Feb 2026.

Then I started using AI to get more done. The same site peaked at 1,647 clicks a month.Google Search Console, Jun 2026. The full breakdown is on the Liquid Breathwork results page.

What I mean by "AI consultant"

I'm one person, not an agency, so no account manager sits between us. I won't sell you a stack of AI-written blog posts, and I won't tell you to replace your team with a bot.

AI takes the repetitive, time-consuming tasks. Your voice and your judgment stay human.

Customers now ask ChatGPT and Gemini for recommendations as well as searching Google. Getting named in those AI answers is generative engine optimization. Using AI-assisted work to rank higher in Google is AI SEO, a separate piece I also handle. Both sit next to a website and the few AI systems worth using.

What working with me looks like

To see where you stand first, run my free website and AI visibility check. It shows whether ChatGPT and Google's AI recommend you or a competitor.

Everything after that is built around how you operate. I take on a few Arizona businesses at a time, mostly plumbers, painters, sign shops, and other local service businesses that depend on being found.

Frequently asked questions

Do you actually do the work yourself, or hand me off to a team?

Yes, all of it. I build the site, run the SEO and AI visibility work, and stay on it after launch.

What makes you different from a marketing agency?

I tested every piece on my own business, Liquid Breathwork, before offering it to anyone. You get the parts that worked there, fitted to your business.

Will AI replace me or my team?

No. AI takes the repetitive tasks, so you and your team have more time for the work customers trust you with.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the business. I quote it on a free call.
