Who we work with

We work with owner-run businesses of 1–50 people, such as trades, clinics, retail shops, and professional services, in Vancouver and across Canada.

About

turbopilot helps small businesses use AI in two places: how customers find you, and how your team gets work done. We start with how your business runs today and the tools you already pay for, then add AI where it saves time or brings in customers.

How we work

  1. Audit. We learn how your business runs, which tools you already use, and how customers find you today.

  2. Fix the gaps. We take care of the quick wins first, like a website AI assistants can't read or a phone line that goes to voicemail after hours.

  3. Automate. We set up AI agents and tools that handle repetitive work, such as answering common questions, drafting quotes, and sorting email.

  4. Monitor. We check in as your business and the AI tools change, and we adjust what we built so it keeps working.

Services

Get recommended by AI

AI search optimization

We rewrite your key pages so they answer customer questions directly, build an FAQ section, and make your business details consistent across Google, directories and review sites. AI assistants cite businesses whose information is clear and agrees everywhere.

Technical setup

We add structured data (JSON-LD) to your website, make sure AI crawlers can read it, and publish an llms.txt file that points AI tools to your most important pages.

Put AI to work

  • AI receptionist booked Tue 2pm
  • Invoice reminder sent
  • Review request sent

AI assistants for your team

We set up AI assistants for you and your staff, connect them to your email, calendar and files, and show everyone how to use them.

AI receptionist

An AI receptionist answers calls and website chats after hours, books appointments, and sends you a summary each morning.

Workflow automation

We connect the tools you already use so routine work runs without you: follow-up emails, invoice reminders, review requests, and appointment confirmations.

Business knowledge assistant

We build an assistant that knows your price list, policies and procedures, so staff get answers without interrupting you.

Ongoing support

Each month we re-check how AI assistants describe your business, keep your tools updated, and adjust automations as your business changes.

What happens on the free call

In 30 minutes we'll:

  • ask how your business runs and where your time goes,
  • check what ChatGPT says about you right now, and
  • suggest two or three changes you could make, whether or not you hire us.

There's no sales pitch and no obligation.

About the founder

Martin, the founder of turbopilot, smiling with a city and the sea behind him

I'm Martin, founder of turbopilot. I'm a machine learning engineer, and I've been building AI systems for 8 years.

At Nearmap, I worked on the AI team building models that run on aerial imagery. At Yelp, I was a Staff Engineer leading a team of six that kept malicious bots off the site. As AI took off, that work grew: we blocked scrapers harvesting Yelp's content for AI training, while letting through assistants like ChatGPT when they fetch a page to answer someone's question.

At Yelp I saw how much effort it took a company that size to keep up with AI. I also watched skilled engineers I know hold off on AI tools that I now use every day. Most small-business owners have even less time to keep up than they do.

I started turbopilot so small businesses don't fall behind as AI changes how customers find them and how work gets done. I'm based in Vancouver, BC.

FAQ

What does it cost?

The AI Visibility Audit is free. For other work, we give you a fixed quote after the free call, before anything starts. Most projects cost $1500–$2000.

Do I need to be technical?

No. We set everything up, show you and your staff how it works, and leave written instructions.

What happens to my customer data?

We use business versions of AI tools that don't train on your data, and each tool only gets access to what it needs. We'll explain what goes where before we connect anything.

What is AEO, and how is it different from SEO?

SEO (search engine optimization) helps your website rank in Google's list of links. AEO (answer engine optimization) helps your business get named in the answer an AI assistant writes. Most of the work helps both.

How long until I see results?

Automations start saving time the day we switch them on. AI visibility takes longer, usually a few weeks, because each assistant updates what it knows on its own schedule.

Which AI tools do you work with?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, plus the software you already use, such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, Square, Jobber. We don't take commissions from software vendors, so we recommend what fits your business.

Can't I just do this myself with ChatGPT?

You can, and we're happy to show you how. Most owners hire us because they don't have the hours to test tools, connect them to each other, and keep them working.

What if the AI gets something wrong?

Anything that reaches a customer gets a review step until you trust it. We also show you how to check and correct what each tool does.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Projects are one-off, and monthly support can be cancelled at any time.

Do you only work with businesses in Vancouver?

We work with businesses across Canada. Most of the work happens remotely, and we can meet in person around Vancouver.
