Using Comet AI Browser to scan local businesses and spot rough, outdated websites

Letting AI do the boring parts: research, copy draft, structure

Building a modern, clean one-page site that looks good on desktop and phone

Hosting the site on GitHub Pages so you have a public demo link you can send to the owner

How I reach out to business owners with:

“I already built this for you”

“You’ll never have to think about your website again”

The simple offer: $200/month per client for done-for-you website + tech help

This is something you can do with a laptop, an AI browser, and a bit of courage to message local businesses. No coding background required if you lean on the tools.
