AI Automation for Hudson Valley Small Businesses

You're losing leads right now. Let's fix that.

Slow follow-ups, missed calls, manual scheduling, unpaid invoices — it's costing you customers every week. We set up AI-powered automation so your business captures every lead, follows up instantly, and runs tighter without you doing it all by hand.

Every Manual Task Is a
Customer You Might Lose

A lead fills out your contact form at 9pm. You see it the next morning — but by then they've already called someone else. Multiply that by every missed follow-up, forgotten invoice, and scheduling back-and-forth, and the cost adds up fast. Most of this can run on autopilot.

We build AI-powered automations that handle your follow-ups, scheduling, invoicing, and review requests — so nothing falls through the cracks. And as a bonus, we also make sure your business shows up when people ask ChatGPT or Google AI for local recommendations.

Liam Farrell
Founder & AI Automation Specialist
Kingston, NY — Hudson Valley

One person. No hand-offs.
No runaround.

I'm Liam Farrell, an AI automation specialist based in Kingston, NY. I started Alder & Ash Digital because I kept watching talented local business owners lose leads and burn hours on work that a well-built automation could handle overnight. The same follow-ups, the same scheduling headaches, the same invoice chasing — week after week.

I fix that. I build automations that handle your follow-ups, scheduling, invoicing, and review requests so nothing slips through the cracks. I also help your business show up when people ask AI tools for local recommendations — but the core of what I do is making your operations run without you babysitting every step. When you work with me, you're talking to the person who builds it. No layers. No delays.

Straight answers
to real questions.

The things Hudson Valley business owners ask us before they start. No fine print, no runaround.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

Mostly local service businesses — contractors, salons, restaurants, photographers, realtors, fitness studios, and similar. If you're spending hours each week on admin instead of your actual work, we can probably help. We're based in Kingston, NY and work primarily with Hudson Valley businesses, but our services are available anywhere in the US.

What exactly can you automate?

The short answer: most of the repetitive backend work that eats up your week. The most common automations we set up are lead follow-up sequences (email and text), appointment scheduling and reminders, invoicing and payment reminders, review requests, and lead routing. If you have a process that's manual and repetitive, there's a good chance we can automate it.

Do I need to learn new software?

No. We plug into the tools you already use — your CRM, calendar, email, invoicing software, etc. The whole point is to make your existing workflow smoother, not add more tools to your stack. If something needs to change, we'll walk you through it.

What is AI search visibility?

It's whether your business gets mentioned when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI for local recommendations — "best plumber in Kingston," "top restaurants near Woodstock," etc. Unlike traditional Google search, these AI tools don't show a list of links. They recommend specific businesses by name. If you're not optimized for that, you're invisible to a growing number of potential customers.

How fast can you get automations running?

Most automations are live within 48 hours of our initial audit call. Larger projects (full-service packages with multiple workflows) typically take about a week. Either way, you'll know exactly what we're building and when it'll be done before we start.

Do you build websites too?

Yes. We design modern, fast websites with AI search visibility and automation baked in from day one. That means structured data so AI tools can recommend you, plus integrations for scheduling, follow-ups, and whatever else you need. If you already have a site, we can also audit it and add those layers without a full rebuild.

How much does this cost?

It depends on what you need. An AI Search Visibility Audit starts at $197. Automation setups and web design projects are scoped individually based on complexity. Our Growth package is $1,494 and our Full Service starts at $5,500+. Everything's flat-rate — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Check the pricing section for details, or just reach out and I'll give you an honest answer about what makes sense for your business.

Who am I actually working with?

Me — Liam Farrell. I'm the founder and the person who does the work. No outsourcing, no account managers, no hand-offs. When you email or call, you're talking to the same person who builds your automations and designs your site. I'm based in Kingston, NY.

What if I'm not sure what I need?

That's what the free workflow audit is for. We'll hop on a call, I'll ask about how your business runs day-to-day, and I'll tell you where automation would make the biggest difference. No commitment, no pressure — and if it turns out you don't need what I offer, I'll tell you that too.

What areas do you serve?

I focus on the Hudson Valley — Kingston, Woodstock, New Paltz, Rhinebeck, Saugerties, Beacon, Hudson, and surrounding areas in Ulster County, Dutchess County, and the Catskills. That said, AI automation and web design work remotely just fine, so I take clients from anywhere in the US.
