This article reveals a step-by-step strategy to generate verified, high-value leads for AI marketing services using Google's Gemini AI and Manus AI tools. It explains the concept of AI guilt among small businesses, how to identify businesses already spending on advertising, and how to monetize these leads by offering AI-driven marketing solutions, including website creation and AI search visibility improvements.
In the rapidly evolving world of AI marketing, many believe that making money requires building complex apps or inventing new AI platforms. However, the real opportunity lies in helping millions of small businesses that are unaware of how AI can solve their problems and grow their business.
Small businesses often have problems costing them customers daily, yet they don't realize it. Offering AI marketing services to these businesses can be a lucrative full-time income source. For example, Mina Marketing, a company based in Hawaii, has grown significantly by adopting AI strategies, achieving 257% growth year over year for three years.
Business owners experience what is called "AI guilt" — a fear of missing out (FOMO) on AI technology that could improve their operations. With mainstream adoption of AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, many businesses are moving through stages of awareness, from being unaware of AI to being ready to adopt AI solutions but unsure where to start.
The key to success is to build a list of leads who are most likely to pay for AI marketing services. The best leads are businesses that already have cash flow and are spending money on advertising.
Businesses investing in advertising are more likely to invest in additional marketing services. For example, searching for "roofer Hawaii" on Google reveals companies running Google Ads campaigns, indicating they have cash flow and understand the value of advertising.
Google's AI model, Gemini, can be prompted to act as a B2B lead generation specialist. By asking Gemini to identify businesses currently running Google Ads in a specific area, you can obtain a list of 25 businesses complete with company name, URL, phone number, email address, and evidence of ads.
This method ensures you are contacting warmer leads who are already investing in growth.
Once you have a list of businesses spending on advertising, you can approach them with irresistible offers. For example, you can offer to improve their AI search visibility for a monthly fee (e.g., $1,000/month).
If you are unsure how to improve a business's AI search visibility, Gemini's guided learning feature can teach you step-by-step how to optimize a website for AI search results.
Alternatively, you can outsource this work to AI SEO specialists on platforms like Upwork, paying them a fraction of what you charge the client and keeping the rest as profit.
You don't need to do everything yourself. You can either learn new skills using AI tools like Gemini or hire specialists to do the work for you. This approach allows you to collect money upfront from clients and then pay freelancers to deliver the service, acting as a middleman.
Another lucrative opportunity is targeting businesses that do not have websites. Approximately 27% of the 36 million businesses in the US lack a website.
Manus AI can generate a list of businesses with verified Google Business Profiles but no website attached. This list includes contact information, allowing you to reach out with a pre-built website offer.
Using tools like Go HighLevel, you can build a professional website for a client in just three clicks, even if you have no prior experience. This allows you to deliver value upfront by creating a website before contacting the business owner.
When reaching out to businesses, personalize your communication by researching their current online presence. For example, you can send a message like:
"Hey [Business], your competitors in the city are starting to show up in AI search results, but you are not. I just asked ChatGPT about your company and it couldn't find you. Do you have two minutes to chat?"
For businesses without websites, you can send a message offering the pre-built website at a discounted price.
Members of the community following this strategy have secured clients quickly. For instance, a newcomer landed a $2,000 setup and $500 monthly retainer with a landscaping company within two weeks.
This strategy leverages AI tools like Gemini and Manus AI to build targeted lead lists of businesses that have cash flow and a need for AI marketing services. By offering solutions such as AI search visibility improvements and website creation, you can generate predictable income.
Remember, the key is to focus on businesses already investing in advertising or those lacking essential digital assets like websites. Use AI to learn skills or outsource tasks, and always deliver high-quality solutions.
