boringmarketer lays out a six-step playbook for launching an AI services firm for "boring" Main Street businesses: 1) pick one high-ticket local niche; 2) build an asset pack solving ONE painful problem with the math/receipts; 3) run a hyper-local Meta ads campaign walking through it; 4) claim you're working with 2-3 local clients via an application flow, land a case study, film a video; 5) solve one problem attributable to more calls, revenue, and fewer headaches; 6) rinse and repeat — productize and solidify workflows with each customer.
