Based in Cincinnati, working across the Midwest
Andy Robbins and Noah Kruthaupt started AI Answered in Cincinnati. The businesses we work best with look a lot like the ones around us: founder-led, practical, and tired of paying for reports that never fill the calendar. You find those businesses all over Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, not just at home.
Most of the work runs remote. Ads, sites, sales follow-up and AI tools don't need us in your office every week. When being in the room changes the result, like a kickoff or training your team, we plan for it. Businesses in greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky can start on the AI consultant in Cincinnati page.
What the work includes
Customers. Paid social, local SEO and outreach. We set up tracking first so every booking or sale can be traced back to where it came from.
Sales.The process, the pitch and the follow-up. A lot of deals don't die on price. They die because nobody followed up. We fix that, and we join calls when it helps.
AI for your team. We find the repeat work eating your week, build the tool, train people by role, and write down the hours before and after. The public training example is Cleveland Clinic Innovations, on the AI adoption page.
The harder problems. Partnerships, pricing, operations and strategy, when that's the thing actually holding growth back.
How an engagement runs
- Assess. How the business runs today, and how customers find you now.
- Understand. Where time goes, and where leads leak between the first click and a closed deal.
- Expected outcomes. Customers, revenue or hours. We agree the number before we build.
- Implement. Ads, the site, sales follow-up, or a tool your team will open on Monday.
- Measure. Before and after, in your numbers, every week.
- Verify. Net impact on paper. Then the next result.
We don't do retainers with fuzzy value. You pay a one-time fee once a defined result is tracked, or a share of the value we create. Sometimes milestone equity for long partnerships. It's the same offer as our growth partner page.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Founder-led businesses where the owner still makes the big calls: service companies, local shops, ecommerce brands and B2B firms. If more customers, closed deals or hours back would show up in your numbers, we're worth a call.
