🏆 Why CWS Wins in Central Ohio

🥇

Only All-in-One Provider

No other company in Columbus bundles website + AI bot + missed call + security into one subscription.

💰

$0 Barrier to Entry

Every competitor charges $600-$3,500 upfront. CWS charges $0. Period.

🔒

Security Nobody Else Has

9 enterprise security modules, 102 tests, TCPA compliance. Zero competitors offer this.

🏠

Data Stays Local

Ollama AI runs on your server. Customer data never touches third-party clouds. Only CWS does this.

Gaps & Opportunities

Your advantages and areas to expand into

✅

Missed Call Bot — You're the ONLY one

Zero local competitors offer this. National players (Enzak, Upfirst) don't do web or security.

✅

Security Blanket — Exclusive to CWS

No Columbus agency has anything close to your 9-module security pipeline.

✅

Transparent Pricing — Builds Trust

Bold Crow and 614 Digital hide their prices. You publish yours. Small businesses love this.

💡

Add Google Ads Management

614 Digital and Web Canvas offer this. Easy add-on for $200-$500/mo margin.

💡

Add Email Marketing

614 Digital has this. Low effort to add with tools like Mailchimp/Brevo integration.

💡

Photography Partnership

Robintek offers headshots/video. Partner with a local photographer instead of building this.
