Built properly. Then kept growing.

Websites, automations and new products for founder-led businesses. Enquiries slipping through, a website that isn't pulling its weight, or something new to launch: I work out what it needs, build it, and stay on to grow it.

Based in Stockport, UK. Working with businesses worldwide.

Recent work

Different businesses. Same job.

Making the website and the systems behind it actually work.

The Influential English website, rebuilt

Language school

They came for automation. The website turned out to be the real problem, so we rebuilt that first, then the systems and the ads behind it.

The LLH Residential estate agency website

Estate agency

A new website running on automated workflows, built in GoHighLevel and n8n.

The Gemma Easdon Coaching website

Coach

Online courses and a membership portal, built from scratch.

Then he came back

The estate agency came after the language school.

Same owner. He was happy with the first build, so he handed over the second. His third business is next.

AI that answers for you

The enquiries you miss are the ones that cost you.

Most lost business isn't lost on price. It's the call nobody picked up, the 9pm message that sat until morning, the reply that went out after they'd booked someone else.

  • Chat agents

    Answer questions on your website and WhatsApp, and book the appointment, at any hour.

  • Voice agents

    Pick up the calls you can't, qualify the caller and put them in your diary.

  • Instant follow up

    New enquiries get a reply in minutes, in your tone, not tomorrow.

  • A person when it matters

    Every agent hands over to you when a human should take it.

Don't take my word for it.

The chat on this site is the same kind of agent I build for clients. Ask it anything about working with me.

Look for the chat bubble in the bottom corner of this page.

You describe it. I find out if it's possible.

One of my clients has never sent me a brief. He tells me what he's trying to achieve, often without knowing whether it can be done.

I go away, research it, and come back with what's possible.

  1. Work it out

    We start with the problem or the idea, not a spec. You get a straight answer on what's possible, including when the answer is that it isn't.

  2. Build it

    Website, workflows, portal, product. Whatever the thing actually needs, built properly, on systems you own.

  3. Keep it growing

    Once it's live, you can keep me on monthly to run it, add to it and fix what breaks. Or take it in house. Your call.

You don't need to have this worked out before we speak.

What I build

The pieces most builds are made of.

Yours will not need all of them.

See how each one works

A score-routing workflow built in GoHighLevel
  • Websites and funnels

    Built to convert, not just to look finished.

  • AI voice and chat agents

    They answer the phone and the chat window properly, at any hour, and hand over to you when it matters.

  • Automated workflows

    Enquiries, follow-up and booking handled without you holding it together.

  • CRM and pipelines

    One place where every enquiry lives, so nothing sits unanswered.

  • New digital products

    Taken from idea to live, including the commercial thinking.

  • Portals, courses and memberships

    Somewhere for your customers to actually go.

  • Email and SMS campaigns

    Sent to the right people rather than everyone on the list.

  • Social posting and paid ads

    Scheduled, published and reported on without the weekly scramble.

  • Reviews and reputation

    Asking every happy customer, instead of the ones you remember.

Who this works for

Different trades. Same headaches.

If your business runs on enquiries, bookings or repeat customers, the build underneath is much the same. These are the kinds of businesses it suits.

Estate and letting agents

Viewing requests answered at 9pm, not 9am.

Mortgage and finance brokers

Every lead followed up, and the paperwork chased for you.

Coaches and trainers

Courses, memberships and bookings in one place.

Schools and tutors

Enquiries turned into enrolments without the back and forth.

Clinics and practitioners

Bookings, reminders and reviews that run themselves.

Trades and home services

Quotes followed up before the customer rings someone else.

Salons and studios

Fewer no-shows, more rebookings.

Consultants and agencies

A pipeline you can actually see.

Reviewing a monthly performance dashboard

After the build

When it's live, I can stay on.

A monthly retainer, shaped around what you actually want handled. Content, new automations, tuning the AI agents, fixes, and someone to think the next step through with.

  • Scoped to you

    We agree what's covered each month. No off-the-shelf package.

  • One fixed fee

    Quoted for your business, so you know the number every month.

  • Reviewed quarterly

    As the business changes, the retainer changes with it.

One business or a chain of locations. It's scoped to fit.

How monthly support works

Gary Grehan, founder of Elevate and Automate

I'm Gary.

I work from Stockport, UK, with founder-led businesses wherever they are. Calls book in your time zone, and UK afternoons overlap with US mornings.

I'm not an agency. When you hire me you get me, the thinking and the building from the same person. That is deliberate. Whoever worked out what to build is the one who builds it, and the one who looks after it afterwards.

More about me

Start with a conversation

Tell me what you're trying to fix or launch. If I can help, I'll tell you how. If I can't, I'll tell you that too.
