Your AI-First Growth Partner

Elev8 Growth Solutions is a founder-led AI and growth agency based in Dracut, MA — right in the Merrimack Valley. We help trade and service businesses across the Merrimack Valley, Greater Boston, and Southern New Hampshire deploy AI sales agents, paid media, workflow automation, and conversion-focused websites, with most build work available remotely nationwide.

Who We Are

Elev8 Growth Solutions is a deliberately small, founder-led operation run by Max Kelley. We work with small and mid-sized businesses — including blue-collar trade and home-service companies like contractors, plumbers, electricians, and junk removal operators — to bring practical AI and automation into the parts of the business that actually move revenue. Elev8 Growth Solutions was founded in 2024.

We focus on the unglamorous, expensive problems: the missed calls that cost a job, the follow-ups that never go out, the quotes that take three days to send, and the websites that don't show up in local search. Boring problems with real revenue impact.

Based in Dracut, MA, we serve the Merrimack Valley (Dracut, Lowell, Lawrence, Methuen, Andover, Tewksbury, Chelmsford, Billerica, Wilmington, Lexington, Burlington, and Woburn), Greater Boston (Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville), and Southern New Hampshire (Salem, Nashua, Manchester, Pelham, Derry, and Hudson). Because most of our build work is remote-first, we also take engagements nationally.

What We Do

Four services, all delivered by the founder, end to end. Each one is built to do a specific job for a growing local business.

AI Sales Agents

AI voice and chat agents that respond to new leads within 2 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They qualify leads against your criteria, book meetings, and sync data into major CRMs like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Zoho — and escalate to a human when a question falls outside their training.

Performance Ads

Managed paid media across Google, Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Pricing is transparent: a 20% management fee on ad spend with a $500 minimum monthly fee, and we recommend a minimum of $1,000/month in ad spend to start. No long-term contracts.

Workflow Automation

We connect the tools you already use — Google Workspace, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, QuickBooks, Stripe, Mailchimp, and others via Zapier, Make, or custom APIs — into hands-off workflows. Simple automations go live in 1–2 days; more complex multi-step systems take 1–2 weeks.

Websites

Conversion-focused, mobile-first websites built on a modern React stack, typically launched in 3–6 weeks. Every build includes on-page SEO best practices — heading structure, meta tags, schema markup, and fast load times — plus hosting and ongoing maintenance.

Founder-Led, No Handoffs

Elev8 is intentionally small. Every engagement — AI agents, paid media, automation, and websites — runs through founder Max Kelley personally. When you hire Elev8, you get the operator building the work on every engagement, not a junior account manager, and not a chain of handoffs.

That model has a practical upside for the businesses we serve: direct access on the first call and every strategy session, no account-manager tax on your invoice, and right-sized engagements. If a project isn't a fit for a one-person shop, you'll hear that up front rather than after a contract is signed.

Work We're Proud Of

For Trash King, a junk removal and local-service business serving Salem, NH and nearby service areas, Elev8 built a polished, conversion-focused website and a local SEO foundation. The work covered website strategy, design, and development, local and on-page SEO, service-area content, copywriting, deployment, and ongoing maintenance — a clean, search-friendly foundation ready to expand with more service-area pages and blog content over time.

Over the February 19 – May 18, 2026 window — about three months — Google Search Console recorded 410 clicks and 31,121 impressions for the site, with 99% of those clicks from the United States and 73% from mobile. Several non-branded, high-intent searches reached page one of Google, including “junk removal near me” at an average position of 3.6. These are organic-search visibility figures only — we make no claim about lead volume or revenue, because that data wasn't measured.

Beyond Trash King, we've delivered work for the New England Construction Education Center, MVP Residential Services, and RJL Electric.

Our Approach

How We Work

We take a consultative approach to every engagement. Instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all package, we work directly with you to understand your business, your customers, and where revenue is leaking — then build the AI agent, ad campaign, automation, or website that addresses it.

Because every engagement runs through the founder, the person scoping the work is the person doing the work.

What We Value

• •Practical AI aimed at real revenue problems, not buzzwords
• •Transparent pricing and honest scoping
• •Direct founder access on every engagement
• •Foundations we can keep improving, not one-off launches
