AI for Small Business: How We’re Helping You Work Smarter

June 27, 2025
Hands typing on a laptop next to a latte

If you’re like so many of the small business owners we work with, you’re wearing too many hats. You’re writing the emails, managing social media, creating proposals, onboarding clients — and still trying to find time for the work that actually lights you up. When it’s time to offboard tasks, you are starting from scratch with outdated SOP’s or in-person trainings that can take a TON of time.

That’s why we’ve added a new layer to our services: AI implementation for small businesses.

At The Mina Company, we believe AI isn’t about replacing the human touch. It’s about giving you more space to focus on what truly matters — your vision, your clients, and your energy.


Why Small Businesses Are Turning to AI

AI is no longer just for big corporations. Small businesses are adopting AI tools because they help with:

Marketing automation: AI can generate blog outlines, social media captions, hashtags, and newsletters/email subject lines in minutes.

SEO support: Tools like ChatGPT help with keyword research, meta descriptions, and blog structure ideas — saving you time and boosting visibility.

Operations efficiency: AI can draft client emails, summarize meeting notes, create proposals, and document your internal processes. It can also automate tasks to send summaries on current projects or tasks to employees. If given enough information, it can also be an interactive employee manual, where it can answer questions and give suggestions – WILD (we know!)

Content repurposing: Imagine turning a single blog post into Instagram captions, emails, and LinkedIn updates in one sitting. That’s what AI can help you do.


Our Favorite AI Tools for Small Business

Here’s what we’re using — and what we recommend for most small, soul-led teams:

✨ Fathom for Teams: Game changer for note-taking and meeting summaries. No more scrambling to remember who said what — Fathom keeps your team aligned effortlessly. Their ‘Ask Fathom’ abilities is also mind-blowing – can’t remember a specific detail from your meeting? Fathom will find it in seconds. Get a month of Premium for Free – click here!

✨ ChatGPT (Pro version): Invest in the Pro version and use it across your team. We use it daily to:

  • Write proposals
  • Draft blog posts
  • Plan social media schedules
  • Troubleshoot business questions
  • Find the most cost-effective solutions or popular question that your potential customers might have
  • And honestly, just about anything else that eats up your time

Pro Tip: For anything business-related, feed ChatGPT specific context about who you are and what your business does. The better the input, the better the output.

✨ Canva (with AI integrations): Canva is essential for quick, polished graphics, documents, and even simple videos. Even better — integrate it with ChatGPT to speed up your design process!

✨ Other helpful tools: Explore AI for keyword research, platform connections, automated digital advertising, meta descriptions, caption writing, and repurposing content across platforms.


Why You Need a Custom Plan

AI tools are powerful — but using them well is about more than just downloading the latest app.

✅ A custom plan helps you choose the right tools for your business.
✅ It saves time by setting up workflows that fit your team’s actual needs.
✅ It helps you avoid wasting money on tech that doesn’t serve you.
✅ It ensures your systems feel intentional, not overwhelming.

That’s exactly why we offer tailored AI implementation services at The Mina Company. We help you:

  • Audit your current processes
  • Identify where AI can make the biggest difference
  • Set up workflows that feel natural and supportive
  • Train your team to use the tools confidently

Final Thoughts

AI can absolutely help your small business save time, money, and energy — but only when it’s implemented in a way that fits who you are.

You don’t have to do this alone — we’re here to make the switch easier, more intentional, and built for you.

Honest marketing means telling you what’s working, what isn’t, and when something isn’t worth your money.

It also means you’re never stuck with us. Your accounts, your data, and your assets stay yours. If you’re with us, it’s because you want to be, not because you have to be.

My husband and I own or part-own nine businesses, so I know what it’s like to trust someone else with something you’ve worked so hard to build. When I make decisions at Mina, I’m not thinking about what grows our bottom line the fastest. I’m thinking about what I’d want if it were my business, my budget, and my name on the line.

You deserve a partner who cares as much about your growth as you do.

Looking for a marketing partner you can trust? Let's see if we're a good fit. DM us or visit theminacompany.com

Ep. 8 is out now: Raising Girls and a Business 🩷

I started The Mina Company while I was pregnant with my youngest, and in those early days I planned client meetings around feeding schedules. Seven and a half years later, my girls are 11 and 7, and the business has grown up right alongside them.

In this episode, I’m answering questions my team pulled about motherhood and running a company. I talk about what changed when the baby years ended, how I show up for two kids at very different stages, how being a working mom shaped Mina’s culture, and the leadership lessons I’ve learned from raising two strong girls. That includes the one in this clip: today’s best might look different than tomorrow’s, and that’s okay.

If you’re building a business with your kids watching, this one’s for you.

Listen wherever you listen to podcasts!

Are you a home builder looking for a marketing team who can make the most of your busy season? You’re not alone. This is the time of year most builders reach out to us.

Custom homes are a long, high-trust sale. Buyers want to see your work, get a feel for how you build, and trust you before they ever pick up the phone. At The Mina Company, we help custom home builders and service-based contractors turn thoughtful design, quality work, and local reputation into a powerful marketing presence.

That’s what’s behind these numbers. SEO that keeps builders on page one month after month. Websites and ads that turn searches into real inquiries. Social that shows off the craftsmanship before the first call. We do this for residential and commercial builders, here in Colorado and across the country.

And we only partner with one builder per area. You’ll never share a strategy with the competitor across town.

Ready to see what this could look like for your business? DM us or visit theminacompany.com

Some seasons, the smartest spend is less.

We've tested the alternative across every industry we work in. More ads, more SEO, more effort poured into the slow months. The season stayed slow anyway. Demand has its own rhythm, and no budget is big enough to argue with it.

So we don't ask our clients to keep pouring money into a season that won't pay it back. We'd rather protect your budget for the stretches where it actually moves the needle, and ease off when it doesn't. Some of our clients pause entirely when things are quiet, and we pick right back up when their busy season returns.

Your marketing should work with your calendar, not against it.

Ep. 7 is out now: Creating the Vision & Mission 🧭

In the hallway between Erica’s bedroom and her daughters’ rooms hangs Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” quote, rewritten for women. The credit belongs to the woman in the arena, the one who dares greatly. It’s become the quote her whole life runs on, and it’s what pushed her to take a hard look at The Mina Company’s vision, mission, and purpose for the first time in years.

In this episode, Erica breaks down the difference between the three, shares the new versions she wrote for Mina (including the line with a little bite: “even when it costs us”), and explains how she turned them into real, day-to-day decisions her team makes. She also shares a simple place to start your own: notice what you’re jealous of when you see it out in the wild.
