OWNER-OPERATED CONTRACTOR-FOCUSED NO AGENCY RUNAROUND

MISSION FILE · OUR OWN PROPERTY

Booked Job

We designed, built, and now autonomously operate an entire content-marketing brand for the trades — a 157-page authority site plus a self-running engine that writes, films AI video, and publishes to 14+ platforms every day, with zero human hands on the wheel. This one isn’t a client; it’s ours — built to prove the system on ourselves.

THE MISSION

What this project set out to do.

The honest framing first: Booked Job is our own property, built from an empty scaffold — not a redesign, not a client. We built it to prove Hey Aaron can stand up and run an autonomous marketing brand end to end.

  1. Prove it on ourselves.Build the system we pitch — a real authority brand for the trades, run in-house.
  2. Publish everywhere.One engine → 14+ platforms daily, including AI short-form video with a custom “trades” voice.
  3. Get quoted by AI.An llms.txt, a 2,271-line llms-full.txt, and answer-first structure for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews.
  4. Own the audience.Email capture on 143 pages with an instant branded welcome email.
  5. Run itself.GitHub Actions + a Cloudflare cron — 24/7, no computer on, self-healing when a platform rate-limits.
