Lead Intelligence System

How Agent0's own AI
finds and warms your leads.

We practice what we build. Our own lead pipeline is fully automated — so by the time we speak, you've already been qualified and informed.

01
Lead Capture on Website
When you submit the audit form below, your details are captured and instantly routed into our lead system — no manual step.
02
AI Qualification Agent
Our AI agent reviews your industry, business type, and problem — scores the lead, and prepares a tailored context brief.
03
Automated First Contact
Within minutes, you receive a personalised WhatsApp or email message from Agent0 — relevant, specific, not generic.
04
Interest Qualification
The AI agent asks 2–3 qualifying questions via WhatsApp — budget, timeline, key priorities. You respond in your own time.
05
Hot Lead Alert to Christiaan
Once a lead is qualified and interested, Christiaan receives a WhatsApp notification with full context — and makes one focused call.
06
Booking Confirmation
If the lead books a consultation, an automated confirmation, reminder, and preparation guide is sent — before we even speak.

Bothma

Founder & AI Systems Architect · Agent0

I transitioned from a traditional career into building AI systems because I saw firsthand how much time and money small businesses lose to manual, repetitive work. Agent0 exists to fix that — one business at a time.

I don't build technology for the sake of it. I build systems that solve a specific problem, generate a measurable result, and pay for themselves — fast.

AI systems architect focused on practical automation — not hype
Specialised in South African SME market and local business operations
Every system I build has a measurable ROI target before the first line of code is written
I personally visit every new client — no project is handled by a team you've never met

FAQ

Common questions,
straight answers.

No. Every system we build is designed to be operated by non-technical staff. We train your team during handover and provide simple guides. If something breaks, we fix it.
We visit your business in person, interview you and your team, map every manual workflow, and identify your top AI opportunities ranked by ROI. You get a 20+ page strategy report, a 60-minute debrief, and a custom implementation roadmap. The R3,500 is fully credited toward any build package you proceed with.
Most systems are delivered within 5–7 business days after scope is agreed and a deposit is paid. Larger multi-system projects typically take 2–4 weeks. We set clear timelines upfront — no surprises.
Start with the R3,500 audit. It tells you exactly where to focus first. We then build the highest-ROI system first — so the system pays for itself before we build the next one. We've designed our approach specifically for South African small businesses with real budget constraints.
Yes. All packages include 30 days post-launch support. After that, we offer monthly retainer options for optimisation, new builds, and priority support. Most clients stay on retainer because new opportunities keep emerging once the first system is live.
Our in-person audits and consultations are available across Gauteng. Remote builds and strategy work are available nationally and internationally. If you're outside Gauteng, we can conduct the audit virtually via video call with screen sharing.

Performance & Visibility

Website stats,
SEO & AI search scores.

Static audit based on what's built into this page — structured data, meta tags, schema, and page architecture. Real traffic scores require Google Search Console and Analytics (see Analytics tab).

Honest note: These scores reflect what's coded into this page — schema markup, meta tags, heading structure, and on-page SEO. Scores for backlinks, speed, and traffic are estimates until you connect Google Search Console and Analytics. Once connected, replace these with your real scores.

AI search scoring is estimated. No public API exists to query how ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini rank a specific site. These scores reflect your on-page readiness — structured data, content clarity, entity signals — not live AI engine results. Actual visibility grows with content, backlinks, and citations over time.

🤖 How to rank in AI search engines
01 Publish case studies with specific numbers. AI engines pull quantified results — "43% increase in bookings" ranks higher than "improved bookings".
02 Add an FAQ section per service page. AI assistants answer questions — if your page answers them better than anyone else, it gets cited.
03 Get mentioned on South African business sites. AI engines weigh third-party citations heavily — aim for MyBroadband, ITWeb, or SA SME directories.
04 Use entity-clear language. Always say "Agent0 AI agency Johannesburg" not just "we". AI engines build knowledge graphs from entity references.
05 LinkedIn articles weekly. ChatGPT and Perplexity index LinkedIn heavily — a weekly 300-word post about AI for SA businesses dramatically increases AI search visibility.
Your current analytics status: No tracking detected on agent0.co.za — set up at least Google Analytics + Search Console before launching.
