Build Remote

Build Remote, digital marketing agency for home and local services

Build Remote presents itself as a digital marketing agency focused on home service and local businesses. Its approach combines building digital assets —brand, website, CRM, AI receptionist, scheduling, dispatch and the advertising that feeds them— with joint operation alongside the client. The firm defines itself as a hands-on agency, not a coaching company, and maintains that meaningful results come from being directly involved in the operation.

Services and technology ecosystem

The agency designs and implements websites, CRM, AI call handling, marketing automation, appointment scheduling and paid media. It also trains owners so they can operate those tools. The service is organized into two entry paths: one for those starting their first business and one for those already operating and looking to scale.

The technology ecosystem it deploys is structured in four chained stages:

• Capture: a website that ranks, loads fast and converts visits into contacts within the CRM.
• Response: AI chat, AI phone agent and AI text message agent that handle every call, message or inquiry, even after hours; a missed call becomes a reply text within seconds that books the job.
• Execution: scheduling, payments and dispatch; booked work is assigned to the right technician and payment is collected without chasing invoices.
• Growth: marketing automation and reports that manage review requests, keep customers active and schedule the next service.

The company describes this set as a connected platform, not a collection of isolated tools: each stage hands the contact to the next.

Packages to start or scale

Build Remote offers two packages. The Entrepreneur Launch Kit is designed for those starting from scratch and covers everything needed to launch a real business: the business itself, assembled and configured, with an AI-powered website, AI-integrated CRM, AI scheduling and payment processing. It includes an AI "front office" —phone agent, text agent and chat support—, marketing automations, training to hire, sell and market (virtual assistant onboarding and training, hiring mastery, sales mastery and digital marketing mastery), four months of marketing services and four months of web development, plus in-person Build Remote events.

The Business Scaler Package targets businesses already in operation. The agency argues that companies with years of activity carry temporary solutions —spreadsheets no one updates, phones unanswered after hours, CRMs part of the team avoids— and that starting with systems, integrations, automations and AI already connected avoids having to unlearn, migrate or repair.

Client results and documented case studies

The firm states that more than 250 home service businesses operate on its platform and publishes client case studies. Among them, Jake Finkenthal left a management position to start his own business; after ruling out franchises due to ongoing royalties, he chose Build Remote and began receiving bookings within two weeks of launching his campaigns, surpassing $10,000 in the third month. Brian Kim, coming from private banking and fintech sales, generated $19,634 in revenue and $10,562 in profit in his first month, with one to two hours of work per week. James Castek, with no prior experience in the cleaning industry, built a systems-driven cleaning business in eleven months that reached $30,000 per month.

The agency itself warns that these results are individual experiences, self-reported and not independently verified, that they are not typical and that it does not guarantee income, profitability or business success. It notes that starting a business requires real work, real money and tolerance for uncomfortable first months, and that many people who start a business earn little or nothing.

Team and headquarters

The team combines leadership, strategy, technology and marketing profiles. Kevin Dana is founder and CEO; Jessica Sales, COO and partner; Shay Bennett, VP of Strategy; Auon Raza, Head of Technology, and Toni Alvarez, Marketing Manager. The company has an office in San Diego, California, and describes its activity as that of builders, media buyers and operators, in contrast to AI companies that, according to its presentation, merely sell a login and a knowledge base.

Approach and work philosophy

Build Remote states it builds simple, proven, recurring-revenue business models with sustained demand, rather than following trends. Its method is based on the idea that owners start receiving real calls within a week and that technology must be operated jointly with the client. The agency explicitly positions itself as a practical alternative to coaching, with direct involvement in setup, launch and tracking the numbers.
