Crews are out all day and the phone rings in a truck. A text back for every missed call, and a follow-up on every estimate that goes quiet. Missed-call text back.
Zygo Local · Montgomery, TX
AI help for Montgomery businesses, from down the road
The short answer
Ben Johnson runs Zygo Consulting from Montgomery, Texas, where he lives with his family. He puts AI to work inside local businesses in Montgomery, Conroe, Willis, Magnolia and around Lake Conroe, starting with missed calls and paperwork. The founding 30-day sprint costs $2,000, is built in the owner's name, and starts with an in-person walk-through.
This is my town. I'll come to you.
01
Home base
My family and I live in Montgomery. There's no storefront. I work from home, and when we meet, it's at your place of business, whether that's on Highway 105, out on FM 149, or a shop on the far side of the lake.
The town is older than Texas statehood. W.W. Shepperd laid it out in July 1837, and Montgomery was the county's first seat until 1889, when the records moved to Conroe.1 The owners I want to work with are the ones still answering the phone between jobs.
I'm also new at this, locally. I don't have a finished Montgomery client to show you yet. The founding price is how I plan to earn the first ones.
02
Businesses I work with around here
Auto repair shops
A follow-up on the work a customer turned down at the counter, and a reminder when the next service comes due.
Real-estate teams
A reply within minutes to every new lead, and a follow-up that keeps going after the agent who caught it gets busy.
Accounting and law offices
Document chasing and intake for the accountants. A fast first reply and intake questions for the lawyers. Accounting firms · Law firms

How a first meeting works
-
Step 1
You pick a time
Thirty minutes on my calendar, or an email. Tell me the one thing that eats your week or loses you customers.
-
Step 2
I come to you
Your shop, your office or the job site, at an hour that doesn't fight your busy one. Coffee in town works too.
-
Step 3
I mostly watch
How a call comes in, who picks it up, what happens to a quote after it goes out. I won't bring slides.
-
Step 4
A one-page plan
What I would fix first, what it costs, and the written guarantee. You decide on your own time. Nothing gets signed at the table.

What it costs
The founding offer
$2,000 for the first 30 days
Five local businesses get it this fall. Two start in November and three in December. It takes about four hours of your time, I pay for the tools during the sprint, and everything is set up in your name.
Every sprint comes with a written guarantee, spelled out in the one-page plan before you say yes.
After day 30, keep me on for $1,500 a month at the founding rate (regular $2,500), or run it yourself. How the 30 days run.
06
Who you'd be meeting
I'm Ben Johnson. My family and I live in Montgomery. Most of my career happened on a screen, and I want the next chapter to be with businesses I can drive past.
At Amazon I managed hundreds of millions of dollars a year in business. Then I built and ran a portfolio of consumer brands that grew to $80M+ a year. Today I lead growth and operations for a handful of consumer brands and media companies, mostly by fixing how leads, orders and money move through each business.
I do the work myself. The person who walks through your business in week one is the person who builds your system.
15 yrs in growth. 0 yrs in your trade. You'd teach me that part.

Questions about working locally
Is there an AI consultant in Montgomery, TX?
Ben Johnson of Zygo Consulting lives in Montgomery and puts AI to work inside local businesses in Montgomery, Conroe, Willis, Magnolia, around Lake Conroe and down to The Woodlands. He starts with the work that slips, like missed calls and paperwork. The founding 30-day sprint is $2,000, built in the owner's name.
Do you have an office in Montgomery?
No storefront. I work from home in Montgomery and meet you at your business, since that's where I can see how the work moves.
Do you have clients in Montgomery yet?
Not yet. The five founding spots this fall are my first local sprints, which is why they're priced at $2,000 instead of $5,000. Once a local business agrees to be named, the write-up goes on this page.
What does the first meeting cost?
Nothing. It's a conversation and a look at how your business runs. If it looks like a fit, I send a one-page plan with the price and the guarantee on it.
