AI Consulting for Small Business
We empower small and mid-sized businesses with accessible, real-world Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions that drive growth, boost efficiency, and keep you competitive in today's market.
AI Shouldn't Feel This Overwhelming
You know AI matters — but where do you even start?
Thousands of tools, endless hype, and no clear answer for a business like yours. So it stays on the to-do list and nothing changes.
You don't need 50 tools. You need the right one.
The businesses that win with AI don't overhaul everything at once. They fix one bottleneck with one well-chosen tool, see the results, then build from there.
Generic advice doesn't fit how your business runs.
No two businesses slow down in the same places. Finding the right starting point means asking good questions about how yours runs, not working from a template.
Four Ways We Put AI to Work for You
Some clients want a roadmap. Some want the whole thing handled for them. Here's the menu, and if you're not sure, the free mini audit is the place to start.
AI Audit
We look at how your business runs, find the task that wastes the most time, and prescribe one tool to fix it. Free to start.

Learn moreThree Simple Steps
We don't sell software. We find where AI fits your business, and where it doesn't.
Free 15-Minute Mini Audit
We get on a quick call and ask where your days go. By the end you'll have one tool prescribed for one problem, and you can put it to use the same afternoon. It costs you nothing.
Full Assessment ($999)
We go through your whole business and hand you a ranked plan: what to fix first, which tools to use, and what each one should save you. If you have us do the setup, the $999 comes off that bill.
We Help You Put It to Work
Some clients take the plan and run with it themselves. Others have us handle the setup. Both are fine, the plan is yours either way, and nothing locks you in.
Two Simple Ways In

Why Work With Us
No Jargon, Ever
We explain everything in plain English. You don't need to know what a model or an agent is. You just need to know what it does for your business.
Free to Start, Low Risk
The mini audit costs nothing and takes 15 minutes. You'll know whether we're worth hiring before you spend a dollar.
The Right Tool, Not Our Tool
We don't sell software, so we have no reason to push one product. We recommend whatever fits your business best, even if it's free or something you already own.
We Focus on One Thing First
Instead of a giant overhaul, we find the single bottleneck costing you the most and fix that. Small wins first, momentum from there.
You Keep Everything
The roadmap, the recommendations, the setup: all of it is yours. If you never call us again, everything keeps working.
Built for Real Businesses
We work with owners and teams who are busy running their business, not studying AI. We come to you, work remotely, or mix the two, whatever suits your schedule.
When Customers Ask AI, Your Business Is the Answer
When people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google's AI for a recommendation in your industry, most businesses are invisible. We make sure yours is the one AI names.
See where you stand
See how AI answers for your category today, and where your business is missing from its answers.
Get into the right sources
We get your business into the places AI trusts and pulls from, so your name is the one it brings up.
Watch it improve
Every month you see what moved: where you show up now, which questions you win, and who you outrank.
Want to train your whole team?
We run hands-on AI workshops, seminars, and team training, in person or virtual. Good for teams, associations, and local business groups.
Built by a Small Business Owner
I'm Russell Powers. I spent more than 20 years in retail, including 10 years owning a UPS Store franchise, and I've started and sold two businesses of my own. I know what it's like to run a company with no time to spare.
When AI arrived in 2024, I was a skeptic. Then I started building with it and saw how much it could do for businesses like mine. I started Elite Automation to bring that to other owners, without the overwhelm, from someone who's sat in your seat.
