Porchlightby Southern AI SolutionsPorchlightby Southern AI SolutionsWe grade how your business shows up when a stranger looks for it — then turn on what’s missing: a site that answers questions, your Google presence, a receptionist that speaks your caller’s language, and a weekly digest of work worth going after.
We shop your business the way a stranger would: search your trade, search your name, search in Spanish, tap your number, look for your reviews. Twelve checks, graded honestly — if we can’t verify something, it isn’t on the card. You get one page showing exactly what a customer experiences today, and what we can fix.
Your card arrives by email within two business days. No calls unless you ask for one.
One clean page built from your facts only, in English and Spanish — with a built-in assistant that answers visitors’ questions and only says what’s true about your business.
Your Business Profile stood up correctly — you hold the account, we hand you every value ready to paste. One name, one number, everywhere.
Answers when you can’t, in the caller’s language. Takes the name, the address, and the need, books it, and texts you the lead — from your own number.
Every week: bids, projects, and jobs in your trade and your towns — school districts, county portals, new developments. Only what we haven’t shown you before.
Job post, print flyer, and phone-screen sheets in English and Spanish — screening on stated qualifications only. You decide who to hire.
One page a month: what ran, what it found, what it booked. Built from records, not promises.
Every business we take on is graded on the same five rungs. We tell you which rung you’re on, what’s blocking the next one, and we climb together.
Nobody quits a ladder they can see.
The full twelve-check grade on how your business shows up, with every fix named. No obligation — plenty of owners take the card and do it themselves.
Get yoursEverything on your card’s red rows, turned on: your site, your Google Business Profile, your listings — built in days, walked through together on the phone, owned by you.
Book your setup callThe weekly digest of bids and projects in your trade and towns, the always-on watch behind it, and your monthly proof page. Everything stays yours if you go.
Start the digestAs you climb, there’s more we can turn on — a monthly content engine ($129/mo) and the receptionist line (by quote). We’ll tell you when they’re worth it for your business — not before.
Tell us where to reach you and Doug calls within one business day — to walk through your report card, confirm it’s a fit, and set the clock on getting you found. Payment happens on the call, once you’ve said go. No charge to book.
No charge to book, and no obligation. Doug calls you — a real person, not a call center.
✓No rankings promises. Anyone who guarantees you the top spot on Google is guessing with your money. We show you what we did and what it produced — from records.
✓No hostages. Your site, your Google profile, your content — yours from day one, and they stay yours if you leave. We hand over everything.
✓No invented facts. If we can’t verify it, we don’t print it — on your report card or on your website. Blank beats guess, every time.
Doug Alexander spent nearly thirty years in the marine trades before building software. Southern AI Solutions exists for the person doing the work — the owner quoting jobs from the truck, the crew that speaks two languages, the business too busy working to chase visibility.
We’re a software company aimed at one thing: helping small businesses succeed. The tools on this page are the same ones we run on our own company — report card, climb, digest and all.
Software for people who do the work.
Porchlight is a small-business visibility service from Southern AI Solutions. We give you an honest report card on how your business shows up when a stranger searches for it, then turn on what’s missing — your website, your Google Business Profile, a receptionist that answers in your caller’s language, and a weekly digest of work worth bidding.
We shop your business the way a customer would — search your trade, search your name, search in Spanish, check your website and reviews — and grade it honestly on one page. Every red line comes with the fix. If we can’t verify something, it isn’t on the card. It’s free and yours to keep.
No. Anyone who guarantees you a spot is guessing with your money — Google and AI answer engines can’t be bought or ranked directly. What we do is make your business the kind these engines can find and quote — consistent facts, a clean site, real reviews — and we check by asking them your customers’ questions and showing you what came back.
The report card is free. Findable by Friday is a $495 one-time setup — your site, Google Business Profile, and listings, built in days and owned by you. The Opportunity Digest is $79 a month, cancel anytime. A monthly content engine ($129/mo) and a receptionist line come later, only when they’re worth it.
Yes — everything. Your website, your Google profile, your content are yours from day one and stay yours if you ever leave. We hand over every login and value, and we never hold your accounts.
We’re based in Clearwater, Florida and know Tampa Bay best, but the work is done for you and can be done anywhere by phone — the website, the Google setup, the digest, and the receptionist all work wherever you are.
Nineteen — English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Arabic, French, Vietnamese, Chinese, Tagalog, Korean, Russian, Polish, German, Italian, Persian, Urdu, Hebrew, and Hindi. Your website, your receptionist, and your report card in the language your customers actually speak.
