Direct Messaging & Automated Chat
If you’re not taking advantage of AI-powered chatbots for your business website, you are missing a great opportunity to save time and effort with your day-to-day inquiries and lead generation. A chatbot integrated into your website is like having a round-the-clock assistant who can answer frequently asked questions any time of the day or night. This not only makes it possible to address customer queries outside of regular business hours but also frees up your staff to focus on more complicated tasks.
Chatbots also enhance the lead generation process by asking targeted questions that help qualify leads and sort potential customers into a CRM system or sales funnel. AI integration can help you reduce your operational costs while maintaining high levels of customer service and improved conversions. We can integrate chatbots into your email marketing tools, CRM, and customer support software for a streamlined system that can handle a large volume of inquiries without needing additional staff.

Search Functionality
When you get website visitors, the last thing you want is for them to get bored or frustrated by being unable to find what they are looking for. Harnessing AI to improve search functionality will create a better user experience, which can lead to lower bounce rates and drive conversions. E-commerce retailers and other types of businesses with many offerings can show website visitors personalized results based on past purchases and searches, leading to more sales opportunities.
By understanding the intent behind questions and phrases rather than requiring exact keyword matching, AI-powered search helps your potential customers find relevant content or products that they may not have explicitly searched for. More relevant search results mean more frequent inquiries and increased sales. AI-powered search functionality also provides valuable insights into search patterns that can help you optimize your marketing strategy and website.

Content Migration & Generation
Save time and money in your business by harnessing AI to automate content migration, generation, and management processes. As your business scales, you will likely move your online assets to platforms that better meet your needs. AI can help smoothly transfer product descriptions, images, videos, reviews, and more during a website redesign or other transformation by preserving the data structure to minimize errors and the need for manual formatting. Content-heavy businesses like law firms and tax consultants can benefit from AI’s ability to digitize text from scanned documents and PDFs into editable formats.
Content production is an indispensable part of online marketing, and AI can significantly reduce the amount of time and effort it takes to generate it. AI not only improves existing content by suggesting SEO keywords and structure improvements but also generates text for product descriptions, blog posts, social media posts, and more. While human oversight and editing are still needed, AI allows you to efficiently produce content at scale to help drive organic traffic to your website.
What our clients are saying
Kevin and his team are fantastic. We’ve been working with them for some time now. They’ve built out some awesome landing pages for us that have been able to generate some solid conversions via our SEO. Big thanks to Kevin and his team for making digital marketing, something we know very little about it, a much easier process than I had initially imagined it would be :)
After 15+ years of dealing with a national firm, we moved to Kevin at Yardstick Services for our website redesign and digital marketing campaign. What a refreshing change…we received professional guidance and expertise from their team and they made the migration process seamless. After 3 years, we continue to receive excellent and timely service. They are a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend them.
Our team has had an amazing experience working with Yardstick on our new website build. Very organized, professional and personable. Highly recommend and cannot say enough good things about this crew! Looking forward to continuing to work with Yardstick. THANK YOU for helping to bring us into the 21st Century!

I have appreciated Kevin and the entire team at Yardstick for being able to deliver high quality work that has produced amazing results for us, all within the constraints of our budget.
Our company, International Yacht Training Worldwide, has worked with Yardstick for over a decade and are more than satisfied with the design of our website, collaboration when designing, and, of course, their support over the years. Owner, Kevin McLeod, and all of the Yardstick team are there to offer assistance when the need arises. Yardstick has created a second website for a new division of our company, Global Yacht Club, which is in an infancy stage. Their design and support teams are amazing and I highly recommend their services!
Our organization has worked with Yardstick for many years and have found their services to be attentive and thorough. They provide excellent advice on security and web development. We are extremely happy with Kevin and Brendon and their expertise.
I have worked with Yardstick for several years now on multiple website development projects, SEO, and web security, and cannot recommend them enough. Through the development of each site, Kevin has provided expert guidance and cost-conscious alternatives. Everyone on their team has been very knowledgeable and shown their commitment to meeting our needs, expectations, and timelines.
The website has totally revolutionized our organization. It’s a total game changer. We’ve gone from 4,000 people a month viewing our site to 24,000 people a month. We’re overwhelmed with the number of inquiries and requests we’re now getting.
Thank you for your unwavering support, leadership and patience in prep for this timely launch. On behalf of the JDS team, we are so appreciative of, not only Caitlin’s work (over the long weekend to ensure our deadlines were met), but your dependable and honest guidance.
We have been collaborating with Yardstick for a few years now for website development, SEO strategy and web security. Kevin and the Yardstick team are great – they provide professionalism and expertise but with a human touch that make it all the more enjoyable to work with them.
Also, for those of us who are metrics-driven, Yardstick’s regular updates on our firm’s online performance are fantastic!
