From Carpenter to Social Media Expert

I understand small business struggles because I've lived them. After 20 years building kitchens and bathrooms, I know what it's like to be too busy for marketing - and too small for expensive agencies.

Why I Started AutoGen Digital

For 20 years, I ran a successful carpentry business around Pontefract. I knew my trade inside and out - could build anything, fix anything, make customers happy. But marketing? Social media? That was a different story.

I'd start posting on social media with the best intentions, maybe keep it up for a week or two, then get busy with a big kitchen install and forget about it for months. Sound familiar?

When I finally tried to hire help, the quotes were ridiculous - £2000+ per month from agencies who didn't understand what it's like to run a real business. They wanted to manage my Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn... I just wanted consistent posts that brought in customers.

So I learned to automate it myself. Started with simple scheduling tools, then discovered AI could create the content too. With algorithm-optimized posting (up to 7 times daily at peak engagement times), I was getting real engagement and bringing in new customers - all while focusing on actual carpentry work.

Other tradesmen and small business owners started asking how I did it. Rather than explain the same setup process dozens of times, I decided to offer it as a service. That's how AutoGen Digital was born.

Local Service, Personal Approach

Why Local Matters

Big agencies treat you like account number #47,832. They've never met you, don't understand your business, and couldn't find Pontefract on a map if their life depended on it.

I'm different. I live here, work here, understand the local market. When you call, you get me directly - not an account manager, not a call center, just the person who set up your system.

Need a face-to-face meeting? I'll drive over. Want to explain your business over a proper cup of tea? Perfect. That's how business should be done.

Local Service Advantages:

  • Face-to-face meetings when you need them
  • Understanding of local market and customers
  • Direct phone access - no phone trees
  • Same-day response to urgent issues
  • Built-in accountability - we live in the same community
