Questions owners ask.
- What is JB?
- JB is the AI business development agent from Vertana. It handles the marketing and back-office upkeep of an owner-run business by text: Google listing, reviews, website fixes, new leads, email drafts and owner reports. Nothing customers will read goes out without the owner's OK.
- Is the work log real?
- Yes. Every entry comes from JB's own records of work it did for real businesses, starting with the companies Jon owns. Names, numbers and anything private are removed before an entry is published, and the site rebuilds from those records each weekday.
- What kind of business is JB for?
- Owner-run service businesses that get customers from Google: law firms, studios, trades and local services. If the owner is the one who would otherwise post to the listing, answer reviews and chase leads, JB is built for them.
- How much does JB cost?
- JB starts at $500 a month, month to month. Vertana can look up your business first and show you three fixes for free.
