The morning call list, already made.
A commercial construction firm in Columbus, Ohio specializing in mid-to-large-scale build-outs and QSR restaurant construction across multiple states. The leadership team wanted a smarter way to find, evaluate, and pursue the right projects — so we built an automated lead pipeline, an AI agent team, and a GEO/SEO strategy around how they already work.
Published April 2026
The situation.
The leadership team had access to one of the largest construction project databases in the country. The opportunity was turning that raw data into a focused, prioritized pipeline that surfaced the best-fit projects every morning without manual searching.
Every morning meant manual review: scanning fresh project listings, guessing at fit, deciding who to call. Best-fit projects sometimes got missed on busy days. Outreach was written from scratch every time. And several marketing, sales, and operations functions were all competing for the same hours of leadership attention.
The opportunity wasn't "use AI somewhere." It was smarter lead discovery, scored by criteria the team controls, wired directly into the CRM and outreach they already used.
The morning pipeline.
Five steps, running continuously in the background. The leadership team's only job is to pick up the phone.
Scoring criteria are fully customizable by the leadership team at any time — if the target market shifts, the weighting shifts. The scoring system bends to the business, not the other way around.
The agent team.
Alongside the pipeline, we stood up four specialized AI agents — each with a defined role, running daily on a dedicated hardware + software stack tailored to the firm's operations.
Sales & Lead Gen Agent
Monitors the project database, scores and routes leads, manages the CRM pipeline, and drafts outreach. The morning call list starts here.
Marketing Agent
Runs social content, LinkedIn strategy, brand communications, and campaign management — with LinkedIn prioritized as the primary B2B channel for reaching developers, property managers, and franchise decision-makers.
SEO & GEO Specialist Agent
AI-search optimization, structured data, crawler access, and content strategy positioning the firm as the contractor AI recommends across Columbus and expansion markets.
Operations & Bidding Agent
Scheduling, subcontractor coordination, bid packaging, and process documentation — the connective tissue between a won lead and a delivered project.
What we delivered.
Automated Lead Pipeline
Connected the existing project database to an AI scoring and routing system. Leads are evaluated, scored, and organized by priority every day. Top leads push directly into the CRM with notes and recommended next steps. Follow-up communications are pre-drafted and ready for the leadership team each morning.
Full Hardware + Software Setup
New hardware configured from scratch and optimized for AI workloads. Complete AI software stack installed, authenticated, and tailored to the firm's operations. Central knowledge base built around projects, clients, and processes. Backup and security protocols configured for data protection.
Social Media & Content Strategy
A tailored strategy across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business Profile — each with its own approach and cadence. LinkedIn prioritized as the primary B2B channel. Content calendar showcases completed projects, builds credibility in target markets, and generates inbound interest from the right audience. Paired directly with the GEO/SEO plan so every post reinforces visibility in AI search results.
GEO/SEO Visibility Strategy
Full GEO audit completed with baseline visibility assessment. AI search optimization strategy designed to position the firm as the contractor AI recommends in Columbus and across expansion markets. Structured data, crawler access, and content strategy tailored for AI search engines. Long-term goal: become the AI search authority in commercial construction across multiple states.
The result.
The leadership team now starts each day with a prioritized list of the best-fit projects, scored and organized by AI. Leads that used to require hours of manual review are evaluated automatically. Follow-up communications are pre-drafted. The CRM is populated with scored opportunities before anyone opens their laptop. The system runs continuously for a fraction of what it would cost to add headcount — and it never misses a lead.
Time saved is the lead-gen and social-media work that used to require leadership attention every day. Lead flow is fresh daily volume across six states — nothing falls through.
