Business Systems

Systems built around how your business actually works.

Every package below is a complete system, not a task. Each one builds on the last, so you can start where it makes sense and grow into the rest when you are ready.

The Systems Ladder

Four tiers. Each one includes everything below it.

Nothing gets removed as you move up, only added. That is what makes each tier the smart way to buy, instead of just the more expensive one.

I

Foundation

$897

A custom website of up to five pages that presents the business and converts the people who find it.

II

Lead Capture

From $1,997

Foundation plus an AI front desk that captures, qualifies, and books leads day or night.

III

Complete System

From $3,997

Lead Capture plus automation and analytics. The website starts running part of the business.

IV

Custom Build

Custom quote

Multi location, complex integrations, or anything that does not fit a fixed tier.

Tier One

Foundation System

A complete, professional web presence of up to five pages. For a business that needs a credible foundation before investing in automation or AI.

Fixed Price$897
What's Included
  • Custom website of up to five pages, or a full cleanup of an existing site
  • Custom coded design, not a stock template with swapped colors
  • Conversion focused layout with clear calls to action
  • Mobile first responsive design, tested across real devices
  • Basic on page SEO: titles, meta descriptions, header structure
  • Google Analytics and Search Console setup
  • One round of revisions
Not Included
  • AI lead response or chat functionality
  • Automated follow up or workflows
  • CRM or lead tracking beyond form submissions
  • Ongoing content updates after launch

Why $897 for up to five pages. That is around $179 a page for a fully custom, mobile ready, SEO structured build. A single landing page elsewhere often costs more than that. You get a complete web presence, not a starter page.

Tier Two

Lead Capture System

Turns the website into an active front desk. For any business getting real traffic but losing leads to slow response time.

Starting At$1,997
What's Included
  • Everything in Foundation System
  • Custom trained AI assistant that answers visitor questions in real time
  • Lead qualification: the right questions asked before a lead reaches a human
  • Automatic appointment and consultation booking inside the conversation
  • Instant lead notification by email or SMS the moment a qualified lead arrives
  • Lead routing when more than one person needs to be notified
  • Initial automated follow up if a lead does not book on the first visit
Built-In Security

Your assistant protects itself.

  • Custom tools scan every conversation for abuse and prompt injection attempts
  • Suspicious activity is blocked automatically before it costs you a real lead
  • Everything is reported to a private client portal you can log into
  • Track IP addresses, review the full activity log, and see exactly what happened
  • You decide who gets let back in and who stays blocked
The Infrastructure Behind It

AI API costs. The assistant runs on a language model API billed per conversation. This is a real ongoing cost, not a one time toggle.

No exposed API keys. Every AI call routes through a secured backend, never client side, so the credentials cannot be scraped from the page.

Hosting and monitoring. The assistant's logic runs on infrastructure separate from Squarespace, watched for downtime, bad answers, and abuse around the clock.

A real security layer. Most chat tools leave you exposed. Yours ships with abuse detection, automatic blocking, IP tracking, and a portal to manage it all. That is custom software, not a plugin.

Flagship
Tier Three

Complete Business System

The website stops being a brochure and starts running part of the business. For an owner ready to stop being the bottleneck in their own operation.

Starting At$3,997
What's Included
  • Everything in Lead Capture System, security layer included
  • Up to three connected automations built around your real repetitive work
  • Examples: review requests, lead sync, reminder sequences, internal task creation
  • Analytics dashboard: lead volume, response time, booking conversion
  • Full engagement: kickoff call, scoping document, defined testing period
The Infrastructure Behind It

Automation hosting. Workflows run on a connected engine that must stay online and get monitored when a third party changes its API.

Integration and testing. Connecting the website, the AI assistant, and your existing tools means real configuration per integration, tested end to end with live test leads.

Why $3,997. Built as one system from day one. Buying the pieces separately and integrating them piecemeal costs more and works worse.

Tier Four

Custom Systems Build

Built from a blank page around your actual operation. Multi location businesses, complex approval workflows, or unusual integration requirements.

By ScopeCustom
What This Involves
  • A paid discovery phase, credited toward the project if you proceed
  • Custom infrastructure decisions made per project
  • Dedicated hosting, custom database, multi location data separation
  • Custom API integrations with your existing software stack
  • A written scope document and fixed price proposal before development begins
Why Custom Quote

Below a certain complexity, a starting price works because the floor is predictable. Above it, a headline number invites a business with a large problem to anchor on a small figure.

Custom Build skips that. The first deliverable is a scoped proposal, not a discount anchored number.

Why choose us over the all-in-one platforms?
The real cost, the learning curve, and what you actually own. Tap to open the breakdown.

The sticker price is never the real price.

The popular all-in-one platforms advertise a low monthly fee, then charge separately for the AI, the messaging, and everything that makes it actually work. Here is the honest math for a business that genuinely uses AI lead response.

The Question
The Competitor
AJC Business Systems
Who sets it up?
You do. Or you pay an agency $1,500 to $3,000 to configure it for you.
We build the entire thing for you, custom, before you ever log in.
The learning curve
Weeks learning funnels, pipelines, workflows, and calendars. You become the admin.
There is nothing to learn. It runs in the background and we maintain it.
Is it built for you?
No. The same generic tool is sold to a gym, a dentist, and a roofer.
Custom built around your business, your services, and how you actually operate.
What does the price include?
Base plan only. AI, messaging, and usage are billed on top, every month.
The build is one price. Care is a flat $49, with usage folded in.
What do you own?
Nothing. Stop paying and it all disappears. You were renting.
A system built for your business. The monthly is support, not a ransom.
Security
Generic. You manage abuse and spam yourself, if you even can.
Abuse detection, auto blocking, IP tracking, and a portal to manage it, built in.
You are not renting another tool you have to learn and run. We build it for you, and you keep it.

Competitor figures reflect the publicly advertised base plan plus the AI assistant add-on and typical messaging and usage fees required for real lead response use, based on published 2026 pricing. Actual costs vary with usage. Comparison shown for the AJC Complete Business System.

Standalone & Ongoing

Already have a site? Start with one of these.

Not every business needs a full system rebuild. These stand on their own, or plug into what you already have.

Standalone

Business Automation

$697 up to 3 workflows

For a business that already has a solid website and just needs the automation layer. Then $149 per additional workflow, so complexity gets priced instead of absorbed.

  • Up to three connected automations around one core process
  • Platform hosting and integration testing included
  • 30 day post launch monitoring window
Ongoing Support

Systems Care

$49/mo

Because our systems are heavily automated, ongoing upkeep is minimal, so the price is too. Monitoring, maintenance, updates, and troubleshooting on everything we build.

  • Around the clock monitoring on all delivered systems
  • Automation, AI, and integration maintenance as platforms change
  • Website updates, troubleshooting, and priority response
  • Usage and API monitoring folded in, no surprise bills
Platform

CRM

From $1,197 setup

Every lead and every customer in one organized place. Use the AJC CRM platform, or have custom software built around how your company operates.

  • AJC CRM: $1,197 setup plus $99/mo
  • Custom CRM development from $6,000
  • Full details on the CRM page
À La Carte

Maybe you just need one thing fixed.

You do not always need an entire system. Sometimes it is one page, one setup, one automation. That is completely fine.

Individual pieces are priced so that buying two or three separately always costs more than the nearest package. If you find yourself adding several, a system is the better buy, and we will tell you so.

The Honest Math

The bundle is always the better buy.

Every package is priced below what its pieces would cost à la carte, because a system built as one thing works better than parts assembled separately, and takes us less time to integrate.

If you are adding up à la carte items and getting close to a package price, buy the package. You get more, it is built to connect, and it costs less. We will point that out before you spend a dollar more than you need to.
