Why Choose Us
Digital marketing agencies thrive on deep client relationships, yet off-the-shelf tools like Make.com force you into rigid molds. We architect custom AI-powered automations from the ground up, integrating your CRM, analytics platforms, and project tools into a unified system. No more brittle zaps that break under load. Instead, enjoy flexible, scalable workflows that adapt to your unique service mix—whether it's SEO retainers, PPC campaigns, or content strategies. Our approach ensures every automation is built for your exact needs, turning operational chaos into a competitive edge.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Agency Efficiency With Custom-Built Power
Streamline Multi-Client Management
Streamline Multi-Client Management: Imagine your workflows as a well-orchestrated client pitch—seamless and precise. Our custom systems automate campaign tracking across dozens of retainer accounts, integrating tools like Google Analytics and HubSpot to reduce oversight errors by 35% and freeing your team to focus on high-level strategy, not manual data reconciliation.
Boost Billable Hours and Revenue
Boost Billable Hours and Revenue: Agencies report a 25% increase in capacity within the first quarter after implementation. No longer bogged down by manual integrations between ad platforms and reporting tools, your strategists deliver actionable insights on metrics like client acquisition cost faster, leading to higher retention rates above 90% and upsell opportunities without the subscription creep of tools like Zapier.
Eliminate Vendor Lock-In Risks
Eliminate Vendor Lock-In Risks: Own your automation stack outright with full source code access. Unlike Make.com's evolving pricing that spikes during high-volume client onboarding, our solutions provide unlimited flexibility for adapting to new retainer scopes, such as seasonal A/B testing protocols, without extra costs or reconfiguration headaches, ensuring long-term stability for your growing agency.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team wasted Fridays troubleshooting broken Make.com zaps for client SEO performance reports. Now, the custom dashboard aggregates data from Google Analytics, Ahrefs, and our CRM in real-time—we saved 15 hours a week, improved deliverable accuracy to 98%, and just renewed three six-figure retainers early because clients rave about the transparency."
Sarah Chen
Operations Director, PixelForge Digital Agency
"We manage 40+ PPC accounts across e-commerce and SaaS clients, and off-the-shelf tools couldn't handle our custom bidding rules tied to inventory levels. Their AI system integrated Google Ads, Facebook Ads Manager, and internal data flawlessly; costs dropped 28% from ditching multiple subscriptions, and our error rate hit zero within the first month, allowing us to onboard five new retainers seamlessly."
Mike Rodriguez
Founder and CEO, Amply Digital Marketing
"As a boutique agency specializing in B2B lead gen, flexibility is everything. AIQ built us an automation that personalizes email nurture sequences per client vertical, like tech and finance—implementation took just three weeks with minimal disruption, and we've seen a 22% lift in engagement rates without ongoing fees eroding our 40% margins on retainers."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom solution differ from Make.com for my agency's automations?
Make.com excels at quick, no-code zaps but hits limits with complex, agency-scale needs—like syncing multi-client data across ad platforms and CRMs without breaking. Our custom AI systems are engineered for depth: think robust code handling thousands of tasks daily, with AI smarts for predictive insights. Agencies using Make.com often face per-task fees that balloon during peak seasons; we deliver one-time builds you own, cutting costs by 40-60% long-term while offering unlimited flexibility. We've helped firms like yours migrate seamlessly, preserving all existing workflows while adding bespoke features tailored to digital marketing challenges.
What specific challenges in digital marketing agencies do you address?
We target pain points unique to agencies, such as fragmented client data from disparate tools, which leads to delayed reporting and lost billables. For instance, automating SEO audits or PPC bid adjustments across 20+ accounts requires more than basic integrations—our solutions create a central hub that pulls from Google Analytics, SEMrush, and project trackers in real-time. This eliminates manual exports that eat 10-15 hours weekly, boosts accuracy to 99%, and enhances client satisfaction through proactive insights. Unlike generic platforms, we customize for your service mix, ensuring scalability as you onboard new retainers without reconfiguration hassles.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom alternative to Make.com?
Timelines vary by complexity, but most agencies see a working prototype in 2-4 weeks after discovery. We start with a deep dive into your workflows—mapping client onboarding, campaign tracking, and reporting needs. Then, our team builds using advanced AI frameworks for reliability. Full deployment, including testing and training, wraps in 6-8 weeks total. Post-launch, we provide ongoing support to refine as your agency evolves. One client, a mid-sized firm with 30 clients, went live in five weeks and reported immediate 25% time savings on automations that Make.com couldn't handle at scale.
Will I really own the system, or is there any ongoing subscription?
Absolutely—ownership is core to our model. Once built, the system is yours: hosted on your infrastructure or ours with full access to code and configs. No monthly fees like Make.com's tiered pricing, which can hit $500+ for heavy use. This means unlimited runs, custom tweaks without penalties, and no risk of feature changes disrupting your operations. Agencies love this shift from 'renting' to 'owning,' as it aligns costs with one-time investment—typically recouped in 3-6 months through efficiency gains. We include documentation and handover sessions to ensure your team manages it independently.
Can this integrate with my existing tools like HubSpot or Google Workspace?
Yes, deep integrations are our specialty. We connect seamlessly with agency essentials—HubSpot for lead management, Google Workspace for collaborative content, and even niche tools like Ahrefs for SEO workflows. Our two-way APIs ensure data flows bidirectionally, creating a 'single source of truth' without manual syncs. For example, we can automate client brief imports from Google Docs into your project management, triggering AI-generated content outlines. This goes beyond Make.com's surface-level links, providing error-proof, scalable connections that handle your multi-service demands without downtime.
What kind of support do you offer after the custom system is built?
We treat it as a partnership, not a one-off project. Post-deployment, you get 30 days of hands-on support included, plus optional maintenance packages for updates. But since you own the system, our goal is empowering your team— we provide detailed docs, video tutorials, and a knowledge base tailored to agency use cases. If needed, we offer priority consulting at reduced rates. Clients often find they need minimal help after training; one agency handled their first expansion (adding email personalization) in-house within months, crediting our thorough handover for building their internal expertise.
