FINAL 2 ONLINE SESSIONS

Ask ChatGPT who to call in your area for what you do. Is your business in the answer? Ranking on Google and being recommended by AI are different jobs. If your details don’t match everywhere, AI hesitates.

👉 Session 1 - Nov 2: Ranked Isn’t Recommended: How Your Small Business Earns AI’s Recommendation

Ask ChatGPT who to call in your area for what you do. Is your business in the answer? Ranking on Google and being recommended by AI are different jobs. If your details don’t match everywhere, AI hesitates.

You’ll start by building your Business Snapshot: one set of true facts about your business. Kylie then shows you the six places it needs to live, from your Google Business Profile to your socials, so AI can find you and trust what it finds. It’s also the first piece of your Business Brain.

👉 Session 2 - Nov 9: Your AI’s First Day: How to Brief AI So It Actually Knows Your Small Business

You’d never hand a new staff member the keys and say “good luck”. AI shouldn’t start with a blank chat box either. When AI doesn’t know your business, it guesses, and that’s how you end up with generic captions and answers that invent things you don’t offer.

The fix is an induction: a Business Brain that tells AI who your customers are, how you sound and what you do. Building on your Business Snapshot from Ranked Isn’t Recommended, you’ll create your Customer DNA and Brand Voice live, then watch the same prompt run with and without them.

It is like getting in the car, leaving your house, and expecting it to turn up at the right place, but not knowing what the right place looks like, how far it is, and which direction to go.

AI can transform your business, but don't make the same mistake as many businesses owners do - go hard at it without a plan or guardrails.

You cam start small, but understanding what it is that you are heading towards and how to protect your operations is the absolute key.

Cyber security is like personal hygiene - people only pay attention to it when it goes bad.

We help businesses implement AI in their operations. But so often they just need a better process, a CRM, or another "old world" tool rather than AI.

Knowing what you are doing vs what you should be doing is the absolute driver of the AI or Digital toolbox implementation path.

Everyone who have started with our one-on-one program knows - first session is there to help us understand how your business operates, help you find opportunities to save time and resources.

The next step forward should be tailored to what you need, how you operate, what your customers expect, and the context you run your business in.

We have a few more spots for one-on-one left!
The program is fully subsidised and is completely FREE for businesses in Yorke and Mid North region.

Small businesses often build up a mix of software, subscriptions and digital tools over time, which can lead to unnecessary costs, duplicated systems and security gaps.

This practical workshop will help business owners take a more considered approach to their technology by identifying opportunities to simplify and consolidate everyday systems, get more value from the tools they already pay for, and strengthen the way business and customer information is protected.

We will cover common cyber risks facing small businesses, including scams, invoice fraud and impersonation, along with practical security improvements that can be implemented without making technology more complicated.

The session will also look at where AI can genuinely save time and reduce administration, how it is changing the threat landscape, and what businesses need to consider before using AI tools with sensitive or customer information.

AI? For socials? Groundbreaking.

Plenty of businesses are already using AI to draft captions, tidy content calendars and get past the blank page.

The better question is: are you using it well?

Today at 10:30 AM SA time, social media expert Jarred Walker joins us online to unpack how to use AI for social media in a way that's useful, effective and less likely to get you penalised by platforms or ignored by your audience.

We'll look at what AI can help with, where it can trip you up, and how to keep your content sounding like a real business with a real point of view.

If you're using AI for socials, or thinking about it, this is a practical one to join.

Register or check the event details before 10:30 AM SA time today.
