AI consulting · Anthropic-certified
We're based in Tampa, about 30 minutes over the Howard Frankland, and we work with owners across St. Pete and Pinellas on-site. No local office, no pretending otherwise, just the same in-person discovery a South Tampa client gets, and systems that handle the lead follow-up, customer response, and admin currently running through you.
Most firms either advise or build. We do both: an independent assessment of where AI will move revenue, margin and capacity in your business, implementation inside the tools your team already uses, and ongoing management measured against a monthly return-on-investment report.
Our servicesWho we work with Established businesses doing $500K+ a year, in any industry, including Home Services Law Firms Insurance Accounting Firms Financial Advisors Real Estate
Two ways to work together: we help you decide where AI belongs (and where it doesn’t), or we build it into your business and remain accountable for keeping it running. Either way it’s scoped to how you actually operate, and aimed at one number: revenue recovered, quotes out faster, hours handed back.
Most AI consultants pitching St. Pete businesses are dialing in from Austin, New York, or somewhere on a Zoom grid. We're not local to St. Pete either, we're across the bay in Tampa. The difference is that across the bay means we show up.
Thirty minutes over the Howard Frankland. That’s the whole claim, but it’s the difference between walking your counter, your back office, and your phone system in person, and trying to diagnose a workflow over a screen share. Discovery happens on-site in St. Pete if you want it there.
Every engagement is personally reviewed and personally delivered. Nothing is farmed out to a team in another country or handed to an “implementation partner” you’ve never heard of. If a system breaks at 6am, you have the number of the person who built it.
We don't just use AI; we're certified directly by Anthropic, the company behind the Claude models that power every system we build. Real credentials on the exact stack your systems run on, not a weekend AI course.
Plus six from Microsoft and one from Google
I run a small HVAC business and reached out to Carter with questions about whether AI was the right fit. He answered every question perfectly and stopped money leaking in my business each month from bad follow-up, missed calls, etc. We had a 2.3x ROI on our investment and I'm very happy.
I was skeptical for the first few weeks using Carter Simmons. Fast forward 2 months, Carter's systems and SOPs have been amazing to our business, automating tasks that were eating 5-10 hours a week off each of our sales reps. Thank you Carter!
Working with Carter was phenomenal. His communication was on point and he really cared about each one of his clients. We saw a dramatic increase of getting our time back each week. Within the first couple weeks, we were already on track to get 7 to 10 hours back. Definitely recommend any SMB looking for AI consulting.
Same process whether you're downtown, out toward Gulfport, or somewhere outside the metro.
No cost, no commitment. We walk your sales, ops, and admin workflows together, in person if you're in St. Pete or anywhere in Pinellas, video call if not. Booked within 48 hours.
We pinpoint the 2–5 highest-ROI places AI saves you time or makes you money, then build the biggest one custom to your tools and workflow. Day-30 Guarantee: live by day 30, or your setup fee back.
We host, maintain, and improve every system month to month, and report on what it recovered. Then we find and build the next one, so the payback grows every month. No lock-in.
No, we're based in Tampa and serve St. Petersburg and the rest of Pinellas County on-site. It's about 30 minutes over the Howard Frankland, so you get the same in-person discovery a South Tampa client gets. We'd rather tell you that plainly than pretend to an address we don't have.
Any established, owner-led business doing $500K+ in annual revenue with work the team repeats every week. Some of the industries we work with: home services, law firms, insurance agencies, accounting firms, financial advisors and real estate. That's true anywhere in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County.
Yes. We'll come to you, your office, your studio, or anywhere from downtown to the EDGE District, for the discovery session if it makes the audit better. Most of the implementation work is remote regardless of location, but discovery and walkthroughs benefit from face-to-face.
Your first system is scoped at kickoff and built inside the tools you already use. If it isn't live by day 30 from kickoff, your setup fee is refunded in full and your 12-month term is void, so you're never held to a term for a system that never shipped, the one condition being timely access to the accounts the build depends on. St. Petersburg clients typically get their free consultation on the calendar within 48 hours.
Same engagement, same pricing. I cover all of Pinellas County and the wider Tampa Bay metro, Hillsborough, Pasco, and parts of Manatee. In-person sessions throughout, including Gulfport, Pinellas Park, St. Pete Beach, Tierra Verde, and downtown St. Pete. Working from another part of the bay? There are pages for Tampa, Clearwater, and Wesley Chapel.
Yes, happy to sign a mutual NDA before the audit. Most engagements get into customer data, sales pipelines, and operational workflows, so confidentiality is the default.
One free call. We go through your sales, ops, and admin, pinpoint where AI actually pays off in your business, and tell you straight whether it's worth doing. You leave with the plan either way. No deck, no pitch, no commitment.
