The problem

You don't have a marketing problem.
You have a leak.

Most local businesses in Westchester and Fairfield are already getting enough interest. They're just losing it between the first call and the booked appointment.

62%

of calls to small businesses go unanswered

You're with a customer, on a job, or it's 6:15 PM. The caller doesn't leave a voicemail. They call the next name on Google.

5 min

is the window to reach a new lead

Respond within five minutes and you're far more likely to connect and qualify. Wait an hour and the odds collapse. Wait a day and they've already booked someone else.

88%

of people trust online reviews like a personal referral

Your work is great. Your Google rating is 4.1 with 23 reviews because nobody asks. The shop across town with 212 reviews wins by default.

This is not your team's failure. Nobody can answer the phone, run the ads, chase the reviews, and do the actual work. The fix isn't hiring another person. It's a system that answers, follows up, and asks — every single time, without you.

How it works

Live in 7 days. Producing in 30.

We install and run the whole thing. You keep doing what you're good at.

The Growth Audit

30 minutes on a call. We pull up your Google profile, reviews, ads, and top 3 competitors live and show you exactly where customers are leaking. You get the list either way.

Day 0 · Free

The Build

We connect your phone, calendar, and Google profile; write and launch your ads; set up the instant-response and review system. You approve every message before it goes out.

Days 1–7

The Run

Every new lead is answered in under a minute, followed up until they book or say no, and asked for a review after the job. You get one plain-English report a month: leads, appointments, reviews, cost per booked customer.

Ongoing · monthly
What you get

One system that finds them, answers them, books them, and asks for the review.

Everything runs on one platform we build and operate for you. No stitching together six apps. No logins to learn.

01

Local ads that book, not just click

Google and Meta campaigns targeted to your towns and zip codes, sent to pages built to get a phone number, not a “like.”

02

Missed-call text-back

Miss a call, and the caller gets a text in seconds from your business number. The conversation starts before they call your competitor.

03

AI receptionist & booking

Answers questions, qualifies the lead, and books directly into your calendar — nights, weekends, and while you're on a job.

04

Review engine

Every finished job triggers a polite ask by text. Happy customers go straight to Google. Unhappy ones come to you first.

05

Follow-up that never quits

Email and text sequences for quotes that went quiet, no-shows, and past customers who are due back. Written in your voice.

06

One inbox, one pipeline

Calls, texts, emails, Facebook and Instagram messages, web forms — all in one place, so nothing falls through.

07

Google Business Profile

Optimized, posted to, and kept accurate so you show up in the map pack when someone nearby searches.

08

A report you'll actually read

Leads, appointments, reviews, and cost per booked customer — one page, once a month, plus a 20-minute call to adjust.

Pricing

Simple plans. No surprises. Cheaper than a front-desk hire.

Every plan includes setup, the platform, and a real person in Westchester you can call.

Who this is for

Built for the businesses that run on the phone ringing.

If a missed call is a missed customer, this is for you.

Dentists & orthodontists Med spas & aesthetics HVAC, plumbing & electrical Roofing & contractors Landscaping & tree service Physical therapy & chiro Law firms & CPAs Real estate teams Gyms & studios Auto repair & detailing Restaurants & catering Home services of every kind

Who it's not for

Brand-new businesses with no reviews and no customers yet. Businesses that can't take on more work in the next 90 days. Anyone who wants to “try social media” without a way to capture the lead. We'll tell you on the audit call if it's not a fit — and point you somewhere better.

Why Torque

Run by someone who's actually done it at scale.

At a five-person New York fintech, Chris Dessi used AI and automation to generate $32 million in revenue. Before that, he helped build Buddy Media into a $689 million Salesforce acquisition.

Torque AI brings that same machine — instant response, relentless follow-up, reviews on autopilot — to local businesses in Westchester and Fairfield County, at a price that makes sense for a single location.

Chris lives in Westchester, is a member of the Business Council of Westchester, and is the person who answers when you call. No account managers. No offshore ticket queue.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is ad spend included in the monthly fee?

No. Your ad budget goes directly to Google and Meta from your own accounts, so you always own the spend and the data. We recommend $1,000–$3,000/mo on Growth and $3,000+/mo on Dominate, depending on your industry and how many towns you serve. Starter needs no ad spend at all.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Plans run 90 days to start — that's how long it takes to build the system and let the ads learn — and month to month after that. Founding clients lock in their rate for 12 months but can still cancel with 30 days' notice after the first 90.

Do I need to replace my website or phone system?

No. We layer on top of what you already have. Your website, your phone number, and your Google Business Profile stay exactly where they are. If your site is costing you customers, we'll tell you, and we can build a better one — but it's never required.

Who owns the accounts, the reviews, and the leads?

You do. Ad accounts, contact lists, conversations, reviews, and every lead we generate belong to your business. If you ever leave, it all leaves with you.

Will the automated texts sound like a robot?

No. Every message is written in your voice, uses your team's names, and is approved by you before it goes live. Customers can always reach a human — the system just makes sure the first reply happens in seconds instead of hours.

How fast will I see results?

Missed-call text-back and review requests start working the day they're switched on. Ads usually take 2–4 weeks to settle. Most clients see a measurable lift in booked appointments and reviews within the first 30 days.

What happens on the 30-minute Growth Audit?

We pull up your Google profile, your reviews, and your top competitors live on the call, and show you exactly where customers are leaking out. You leave with a written list of fixes whether or not you hire us. No pitch deck. No pressure.
