AI operations for local business

The quiet system
behind better-run
local businesses.

Aelvar builds and manages a complete AI operations stack for independent brick-and-mortar businesses. Reviews, customer communication, social content, hiring, and a 24/7 phone agent — all handled, all connected, all for one monthly retainer.

What we handle

A full operations stack, built for the way local businesses actually work.

Most agencies sell you one tool. We build you a connected system that handles the work you don’t have time for — and keeps running whether you’re open or not.

01

Reviews & reputation

Every Google, Yelp, and Facebook review gets a thoughtful, on-brand response — within hours, not weeks.

02

Customer communication

SMS and email campaigns that feel personal, built on Klaviyo and powered by AI that sounds like you.

03

Content & social

Consistent posts across Instagram, Facebook, and Google Business Profile — without you touching a phone.

04

Operations & staff

Hiring workflows, onboarding sequences, a staff knowledge base, and a 24/7 phone agent that answers every call.

Why Aelvar

We don’t advise. We build, deploy, and manage.

Most consultants hand you a strategy deck and walk away. We set up every system, connect every tool, and manage the whole thing on an ongoing basis. You don’t need to learn anything new — you just get your time back.

i.

Built for local, not enterprise

Every system is designed around how a 5-person shop actually operates — not how a Fortune 500 thinks about AI.

ii.

One monthly retainer

No per-seat fees, no hidden add-ons, no upsells. One predictable number covers the build, the tools, and the ongoing management.

iii.

We handle the stack

Klaviyo, Make.com, Vapi, Google Business Profile, Claude — you don’t need to know what any of that means. You just get the results.

iv.

Portland-based, relationship-first

Based in Beaverton. We work with independent businesses across the Portland metro who want a real partner, not a software subscription.

The proof

Hot Box testimonial coming soon — we’re currently running a full pilot implementation for a 15-year Beaverton local favorite, documenting every result.

Let’s talk
