What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Agency's Bottom Line
Reclaim 12+ Hours Weekly for Billable Work
Reclaim 12+ Hours Weekly for Billable Work: Manual follow-ups on client deliverables consume up to 20% of an account manager's day, per MarketingProfs reports on agency operations. Our system automates 80% of these tasks, including status updates and milestone reminders, freeing your team to focus on high-value strategy sessions and creative ideation for retainer clients. Agencies report a 25% productivity boost within the first month, translating to $5,000+ in recovered billable hours at standard $150/hour rates.
Achieve 40% Higher Client Conversion Rates
Achieve 40% Higher Client Conversion Rates: Generic follow-ups miss the mark in a client-relationship focused industry like professional services. Our AI crafts hyper-personalized messages based on behavioral data from past consultations, timing outreach when prospects are most receptive post-RFP submission. This results in a proven 40% uplift in conversions for service proposals, as seen in Gartner's agency benchmarks, directly impacting your agency's revenue without increasing headcount.
Realize 4x ROI Through Cost Efficiencies
Realize 4x ROI Through Cost Efficiencies: Subscription chaos from multiple tools like separate CRMs, time-tracking software, and invoicing platforms costs professional services agencies an average of $15,000 annually. By unifying follow-ups into one owned system integrated with existing workflows, we eliminate redundancies and reduce operational costs by 60%. Clients achieve ROI in under 90 days through automated retainer renewals, with scalable automation that grows with your client base—no added expenses for expanding advisory teams.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried in follow-up emails after every client pitch for digital strategy retainers. Now, the system handles nurturing for our 50+ active clients, including automated check-ins on project milestones, and we've closed three new six-month retainers in the last two months that we would've missed. It's like having an extra senior account manager who never sleeps, saving us 15 hours weekly on routine tasks."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Account Director, PixelForge Digital Agency
"We integrated this with our Asana workflows for campaign tracking, and it's cut our manual check-ins by half across 20 ongoing client projects. One key client renewed a six-figure annual consulting contract after a perfectly timed AI follow-up that referenced their specific scope adjustments from our last quarterly review. Real time savings—about 10 hours a week across the board, allowing us to take on two more retainers without extra staff."
Mike Rivera
Operations Lead, Nexus Digital Consulting
"Custom automation like this is a game-changer for agencies like ours in the B2B professional services space. It personalized follow-ups for a major B2B advisory campaign we ran, boosting response rates from 15% to 42% by tailoring messages to each client's industry challenges. We've saved roughly $8K in the past quarter by not hiring an extra coordinator, redirecting those funds to client innovation workshops."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with our existing marketing stack?
We start by mapping your current tools—think HubSpot, Mailchimp, or Google Workspace—and build deep, bidirectional integrations using custom APIs. This creates a single source of truth, eliminating data silos that plague 65% of agencies. Our process includes a full audit to ensure zero disruptions, with testing phases that mirror your live campaigns. Unlike superficial connections in no-code tools, our code handles complex scenarios like conditional follow-ups based on campaign performance, saving you from manual reconciliations and boosting efficiency from day one.
What kind of time savings can a marketing agency expect?
Based on our deployments, agencies typically recover 10-15 hours per week per account manager from manual follow-ups. This comes from automating routine tasks like email drafting and scheduling, which eat into billable time. For a mid-sized agency with 20 clients, that's over 50 hours weekly redirected to strategy. We've seen ROI materialize in 60-90 days, with one client reporting a 28% increase in billable utilization. It's not just savings; it's reallocating talent to high-impact work that drives client satisfaction and retention.
Is the AI able to maintain our agency's personal voice in follow-ups?
Absolutely. We train the AI on samples of your past communications, capturing nuances like tone, terminology, and personalization styles unique to your brand. This ensures follow-ups feel authentic, not robotic—crucial in a relationship-focused industry. For instance, it can reference specific campaign feedback or client goals pulled from your CRM. Testing shows 85% of recipients can't distinguish AI-generated messages from human ones, preserving trust while scaling outreach. We refine this iteratively based on your feedback, making it a true extension of your team.
How secure is the data in this custom automation system?
Security is paramount, especially with client data in marketing. We use enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access controls from the outset. All integrations are audited for vulnerabilities, and the system is hosted on secure AWS infrastructure with regular penetration testing. Unlike shared platforms, your data stays isolated in a owned environment—no third-party risks. Agencies in regulated sectors have praised our approach for handling sensitive info without breaches, ensuring peace of mind as you automate at scale.
Can this scale as our agency grows and takes on more clients?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability, handling everything from 10 to 500+ clients without rework. We use modular code that expands seamlessly—add channels or rules without downtime. One agency grew from 30 to 150 accounts post-implementation, and the system adapted flawlessly, maintaining 99.9% uptime. This future-proofs your investment, avoiding the costly migrations common with rigid tools. As your workflows evolve, we provide updates to keep efficiency high, supporting your growth trajectory.
What if we need custom tweaks after launch?
Flexibility is built-in. Post-launch, we offer a 30-day optimization period with unlimited adjustments based on your usage data. Beyond that, our maintenance includes quarterly reviews to incorporate new features, like emerging AI capabilities. Since you own the system, tweaks are straightforward—no vendor approvals needed. Clients appreciate this, as it allows quick adaptations to shifting client needs, such as seasonal campaign tweaks, ensuring the automation remains a strategic asset rather than a static tool.
