Use AI writing tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, or Surfer AI to:
Draft blog posts that target local SEO keywords
Create service descriptions for your website
Generate email and SMS campaigns for follow-up

AI-powered chatbots and CRM systems can:
Greet website visitors instantly
Answer FAQs
Collect lead info and schedule calls or estimates
