The Autopilot Loop
One link in.
One link in.
Booked jobs out.
Six steps. You handle one, plus a quick yes or no on step four. Afterburner runs the rest every day.
01You · 30 seconds
Paste your website
No briefs, no brand decks, no kickoff meeting. Your site already says who you are, what you do and where you work.
02Afterburner
It studies your business
Services, service area, offers, brand voice, colors and the reasons people pick you. Then it looks at what local competitors are advertising right now.
03Afterburner
It builds the creative + campaigns
Scroll-stopping statics, short videos, search ads and seasonal offers, each sized for every placement. Campaigns come with audiences, keywords, a geo radius and a budget split already set.
04You · Approve
You approve. It launches.
Approve, edit or reject each ad from your phone. Nothing spends a dollar until you say go. Approved campaigns go live on your own ad accounts.
05Afterburner · Daily
It optimizes every day
Tired ads get paused. Budget shifts to what's booking jobs. When an ad starts to wear out, a fresh one is drafted before results drop. All of it happens inside your caps.
06Your AI agent · Seconds
Every lead gets answered
When someone fills out a lead form or clicks to call, your Afterburner AI agent texts or calls back right away. It qualifies the job and books it on your calendar, even at 11 p.m. on a Saturday.
Why it's different
Ads are
Ads are
half the job.
Other ad tools stop at the click. For a home-service business, the money is made or lost in the first five minutes after a lead comes in. Afterburner Ads is wired straight into the AI front desk you already trust.
- No lead sits in an inbox. Form fills, calls and DMs all go to your AI agent.
- Optimized for booked jobs, not cheap clicks. The CRM tells the ads which leads became revenue.
- One system, one bill. Website, CRM, AI agent and ads, all from Afterburner.

It's your money and your reputation. Every change the AI makes goes through limits it can't override.
01 · Spend ceiling
Hard budget caps
You set the daily and monthly ceiling. The AI can move budget between winners, but it can never go past the cap. If a change would cross the line, it's blocked and comes to you as a request.

FAQ
Questions & answers
Do you take a percentage of my ad spend?
No. Every plan is a flat monthly fee with 0% of ad spend. Meta, Google, TikTok or OpenAI bill your ad budget directly to your own card on your own ad accounts.
Will the AI spend money without asking me?
Nothing launches until you approve it. After launch, daily optimization runs on its own but only inside the hard caps you set: daily, monthly, per-campaign and per-platform. Any change that would cross a cap is blocked and sent to you for approval instead.
Who owns the ad accounts?
You do. Campaigns run on your own Meta, Google, TikTok and ChatGPT ad accounts, so your pixel history, audiences and data stay yours if you ever leave.
What happens to the leads the ads generate?
Every lead is handed to your Afterburner AI agent the moment it comes in. The agent texts or calls back within seconds, qualifies the job and books it on your calendar, so ad dollars aren't lost to slow follow-up.
Do I need to already be an Afterburner client?
No, but it's better when you are. The lead handoff to your AI agent is what turns clicks into booked jobs. Existing clients get the setup fee waived. New clients can add the AI agent in the same onboarding.
Is there a contract?
No. Plans are month to month and you can cancel anytime. The one-time setup fee covers connecting your accounts, tracking, your brand kit and your first approved campaign set.
Can I run ChatGPT ads?
ChatGPT ads are in early access. On Afterburner and Full Throttle plans we build ChatGPT campaigns and launch them as advertiser access opens for your account.
Can I sign up and run it myself?
Right now Afterburner Ads is done-for-you: our team connects everything and you approve from your phone. A self-serve version is on the roadmap. Book a demo to get on the list.
