If you mean **consultants who actually design and build automations for small businesses**, rather than large enterprise consulting firms, I’d shortlist them differently depending on your needs. ### My top picks 1. **Weblytica, LLC — Best overall for small-business workflow automation** - Kansas City–area firm. - Particularly focused on connecting existing software, eliminating copy/paste work, lead follow-up, intake, reporting, and operational workflows. - Good fit if you want someone to **look at your business processes and build the automation for you**, rather than simply sell you software. 2. **Solution Integrators — Best for operations + systems** - Kansas City-based. - Works with **Dubsado, ClickUp, Airtable, Zapier** and similar systems. - Strong fit for service businesses, agencies, consultants, and businesses that need their processes organized before automating them. 3. **The Workflow Wizard — Best for Zapier/Airtable-style automation** - Focuses specifically on workflow automation and API integrations. - Reviews mention substantial reductions in manual work. - A good choice if you already know, for example, *“I need my forms → CRM → email → task creation process automated.”* 4. **FreeFlow CEO — Best for owner/operator productivity** - Focuses more broadly on operations, delegation, systems, and automation. - Better if your problem is **“my business depends too much on me”** rather than simply needing two apps connected. 5. **DLH Salesforce Consulting Services — Best if Salesforce is central** - Overland Park/Kansas City. - More appropriate when automation involves Salesforce, CRM architecture, APIs, and more technical integrations. ### If you're not in Kansas City For a nationwide search, I'd start with **urlZapier's Solution Partner Directoryturn0search1**. Zapier specifically positions these partners for everything from deciding *what* to automate through building and troubleshooting the workflows. [zapier.com](https://zapier.com/partnerdirectory/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) For a small business, I would **not automatically hire a big automation consultancy**. Most companies with 1–50 employees can get significant value from relatively simple automation using tools such as Zapier or Make; the key is identifying the highest-volume repetitive process first.

I'll identify where you're losing the most time, calculate the ROI, and automate the highest-value processes.” I'd be wary of anyone who starts by selling you a particular AI platform before understanding your workflow. **If you tell me your industry, approximate company size, and what you want automated** (sales, customer service, bookkeeping, scheduling, lead follow-up, employee onboarding, etc.), I can narrow this to **3–5 consultants that are specifically suited to your business and compare their likely cost/fit.** Weblytica, LLC Solution Integrators The Workflow Wizard FreeFlow CEO DLH Salesforce Consulting Services
