The Cloud Agent Factory

How we run business and personal-brand audits, build websites, and do SEO with a fleet of AI agents in the cloud — at a cost low enough to give the first audit away free. Here’s the whole plan, numbers included.

We help the good guys win. To do that at scale, we’re moving our audits, website builds, and SEO work out of one-off desktop sessions and into a fleet of cloud agents that run on demand — triggered by our website, scheduled for monthly client work, and able to run a hundred at once. This is the plan we’re executing, published openly because we believe in building in public.

Why now: Managed Agents

The enabling technology is Claude Managed Agents — a cloud platform where our existing audit methodology runs as an autonomous agent. We don’t build servers or write an agent loop; we define the agent once, and the platform runs it in a secure sandbox with web access, our SEO tools connected, and our credentials locked in a vault the agent can never read.

It runs our actual skills

The same 10-skill methodology we teach — strategist, proof harvester, gap analyzer, website builder, Knowledge Panel SEO — loads directly into the cloud agent.

It runs in parallel

The platform accepts 300 new sessions a minute. A 150-person conference launches in about 30 seconds, each audit in its own sandbox.

You only pay while it works

Sandboxes are ephemeral — runtime is billed by the second only while an agent is actually running. Zero audits costs roughly zero.

No DevOps required

There are no servers, containers, or deploys anywhere in this plan. Setup is configuration in a console, not custom code.

What an audit actually costs us

This is the part most agencies won’t show you. Here’s our real cost per deliverable, computed from published AI pricing — and why that lets us give the quick audit away.

Deliverable Cost today Optimized What you pay
Quick Audit (5-min scorecard) ~$0.95 ~$0.30 Free
Deep Audit (20-page, 90-day plan) ~$15 ~$4.50 $149
Personal brand website build ~$24 ~$15 $99/mo + setup
Monthly content + monitoring ~$10 ~$7 $299–499/mo

“Prescription before diagnosis is malpractice. If you see a marketer making recommendations not based on your data, run.” The free Quick Audit is a real diagnosis — and it costs us under a dollar to produce, so there’s no catch.

How we run it live at conferences

When we speak at an event, we don’t just talk about audits — we run them on stage. Attendees scan a QR code, type their name and company, and a cloud agent audits their business while we’re still presenting. The results hit their inbox in minutes.

  1. Scan & enter. A QR code on the opening slide opens a 30-second form — name, company, email.
  2. Watch it work. Each attendee sees their own agent on their phone: researching, scoring, writing — live.
  3. Mission Control on the big screen. The whole room watches the fleet light up — every audit a tile, counters climbing, the feed scrolling. See the live demo →
  4. Results in the inbox. A personalized scorecard arrives in minutes, with an offer to go deeper.
The honest economics of the offer: a deep audit costs us a few dollars of compute and is worth what competitors charge $1,500+ for. So at events we can run a first-25 flash as low as $29, settle the headline price at $99–149, and still come out ahead — while the attendee gets a genuinely useful, human-reviewed report.

Built on a simple structure

Outcomes

Clients buy results, never logins

You get a PDF and live pages. No software to learn, no seats to manage — just the audit, the site, the rankings.

People

Certified builders, real review

Every report is reviewed by a certified AI Builder before it goes out. The human judgment is the product; the agent is the leverage.

Verticals

One method, every trade

Roofers, landscapers, HVAC, dentists, founders, even young athletes — the same engine, tuned for each industry’s language and proof.

Transparency

We publish our costs

This page exists because we’d rather show the math than hide behind a quote. That’s what building in public means to us.
