USA

US businesses: every lead answered, every hour

Paid ads, AI follow-up in under a minute and GoHighLevel, run for clinics, trades, real estate and agencies.

All 50 states, remote-first

The system

One system, not a list of services

Every channel we run sends its leads into the same GoHighLevel pipeline, where the AI answers, follows up and books. That is what you buy, whichever page you started on.

In writing

What we promise, in writing

Owners tell us the last vendor locked them in, kept their phone number, or handed the account to a junior. So we put these four in every proposal.

No auto-renew, no exit fees

Setup is a fixed project. Management is month to month after that. Cancel with 30 days notice and nothing renews behind your back.

You own everything

The GoHighLevel sub-account, the phone numbers, the ad accounts, the pixel and every lead stay in your name. Leave, and you keep them.

Reported by booked appointments

Not impressions, not ROAS screenshots. You see calls answered, appointments booked and shows, every week, in your own dashboard.

Built by the people you talk to

No junior handed 14 accounts. The engineers who scope your system on the call are the ones who build it and answer your messages.

Who this is for

What does an AI marketing agency do for a US local business?

It brings in leads through paid ads, responds to them within a minute using AI voice and text agents, and keeps following up until they book. Skill Up Experts does all three on one GoHighLevel account that you own.

US specifics

How do we handle US phone numbers, SMS consent and TCPA?

We register your business for A2P 10DLC inside GoHighLevel, capture written consent on every form, and honor STOP keywords automatically. That is the baseline for sending any automated text in the United States.

Local Services Ads

Should a US business run Google Local Services Ads?

If you are a licensed home-service, legal, real-estate or healthcare provider in a category Google supports, usually yes. Local Services Ads sit above regular search results, show your Google Guaranteed or Screened badge, and you pay per lead rather than per click.

We handle the background check and license verification paperwork with you, set your service areas and job types, and route every LSA call and message into GoHighLevel so the AI follow-up starts immediately. Leads that do not fit get disputed so you are not charged for them.

Where LSA is not available for your category, we build the same intent capture with standard Search campaigns and call tracking.

  • Google Guaranteed or Google Screened setup and verification
  • Service areas mapped to the ZIP codes you actually want
  • Every lead pushed into GHL with call recording attached
  • Weekly dispute review so junk leads are refunded
How it works

What happens after you book a call with us?

A fixed sequence so you always know what comes next.

1

Strategy call

Thirty minutes on your current lead flow, response times, ad spend and the tools you already use.

2

Growth audit and roadmap

We review your ads, website, follow-up and CRM, then send a prioritized plan with what to build first and why.

3

Build inside your GHL account

Pipelines, calendars, AI agents, tracking and campaigns are built in an account you own, not ours.

4

Launch and weekly numbers

Campaigns go live, the AI answers, and you get a weekly report on leads, bookings and cost per booked appointment.

Industries

Which US industries do we work with most?

Businesses that depend on inbound leads, appointments and fast follow-up.

Working with a remote team

How do time zones and working hours work with a remote agency?

We cover US business hours across Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific time for calls, reporting and support, and the AI systems we build run around the clock regardless.

FAQ

Questions US businesses ask before working with us

Do you work with businesses in every US state?

Yes. We are remote-first and currently support clients in multiple states. Ads, GoHighLevel builds and AI agents work the same regardless of location. The only state-specific pieces are licensing checks for Local Services Ads and any state-level SMS or telemarketing rules, which we account for during setup.

Who owns the GoHighLevel account and the ad accounts?

You do. We build inside a GoHighLevel sub-account registered to your business and run ads from ad accounts you own. If you ever stop working with us, everything stays with you, including pipelines, automations, contacts and campaign history.

Is the AI voice agent compliant with US calling rules?

We build it to be. Inbound calls are answered by the agent, outbound automated calls and texts only go to contacts with recorded consent, quiet hours are enforced, and opt-outs are processed automatically. We recommend your attorney reviews the final consent language, and we provide the exact wording and records to make that easy.

How much do you need in ad spend to start?

It depends on your market and service, so we set it on the strategy call rather than quoting a number here. What matters more is that the follow-up system is ready before ads go live. Spending on leads you cannot answer is the most common mistake we fix.

Do you replace my front desk or receptionist?

No. The AI agent covers what your team cannot: after-hours calls, overflow when everyone is busy, and instant text replies to web leads. Your staff still handles complex conversations, and every AI interaction is logged in GoHighLevel so they can pick up where it left off.

What does the AI voice agent cost to run?

GoHighLevel meters voice AI per minute of conversation, roughly in the range of ten to twenty cents a minute for speech-to-speech models, plus telephony. We pass that usage through transparently and show it on your monthly report. There is no hidden markup buried in a bundle.

How fast can we go live?

A GoHighLevel build with AI follow-up typically goes live within a few weeks, depending on how many tools we connect. Ad campaigns launch once tracking, landing pages and consent are in place. We would rather launch a week later with working follow-up than launch fast into a leaky pipeline.

Can you take over ad accounts another agency set up?

Yes. We audit the existing accounts first, keep what is working, fix tracking, and rebuild campaign structure only where the data says it is needed. You keep all historical data because the accounts stay under your ownership.
