Free tools & lead capture
We offer free interactive tools on our website, including the ROI Calculator, AI Readiness Assessment, Customer Service Calculator, Process Prioritizer, and SEO & AI Search Analytics Dashboard. When you use these tools:
- You may optionally provide your name, email address, and company name to export a PDF report of your results
- This information is stored in our CRM system to enable follow-up communications about our services
- You are not required to provide this information to use the tool — only to export a PDF report
- Tool calculations and results are processed entirely in your browser and are not stored on our servers
Google API services — SEO Dashboard
Our SEO & AI Search Analytics Dashboard connects to your Google account to access data from Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, and Google Ads. By using this tool:
Data we access
- Google Analytics 4: Sessions, users, bounce rate, landing pages, traffic sources, device and geographic data
- Google Search Console: Keywords, impressions, clicks, click-through rates, and search positions
- Google Ads: Campaign data, search terms, cost, and conversions (if connected)
- Google account email: Your email address associated with your Google account
How we handle your data
- Analytics data is fetched directly in your browser using your own Google OAuth token — it is not sent to or stored on our servers
- Your Google email address is used to create a contact record in our CRM for lead management and optional monthly report subscriptions
- PDF reports are generated entirely in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers
- Google OAuth tokens are stored only in your browser session and are never persisted or sent to our backend (except for Google Ads API queries which require server-side proxying with our developer token)
What we do NOT do
- We do not sell, transfer, or share your Google data with third parties, advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers
- We do not use your Google data for advertising, retargeting, personalized ads, or interest-based marketing
- We do not use your Google data to determine credit-worthiness or for lending purposes
- We do not store your Google Analytics, Search Console, or Ads data on our servers
The Automators' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
- Employee training on privacy and security practices
- Secure hosting and data storage facilities
Data retention
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
