The facts about Make Wavs Media

What Make Wavs Media is

Make Wavs Media is a digital marketing and AI agency for local and small businesses in the United States. It does two related things: it runs marketing that brings customers in, and it installs managed AI employees that handle the follow-up work most small teams drop.

The marketing side covers Meta advertising, Google paid search, geofencing, streaming TV (CTV/OTT), SEO and local SEO, content, social media management, and web design. The AI side covers managed AI employees for lead follow-up, reviews, and customer reactivation, and a private on-premise AI computer for regulated firms that cannot send client data to the cloud.

The industries Make Wavs works with most: auto repair and collision, hail and paintless dent repair, med spas and aesthetics, dental practices, home services, law firms, cleaning companies, regenerative medicine clinics, and supplement and wellness brands. Details for each are on the industries pages.

Offers and exact pricing

These are the real numbers, the same ones on the main site.

• AI Audit: free. A 30-minute review that maps where the business leaks time and money, names the single highest-return workflow to automate, and delivers a 30-day plan. The plan is the client's to keep whether or not they hire us.
• Managed AI Employees. Pilot: $1,500 setup plus $2,500 per month. Managed: $3,000 setup plus $5,000 per month. Executive: $5,000 setup plus $7,500 and up per month. Every plan is draft-first: a human approves before anything goes out.
• Private AI Box. Launchpad install: $2,500 one time. Sentinel managed service: $3,500 to $5,000 per month. Fine-tuning run: $800 to $1,500. Custom agent build: $8,000 to $15,000 per project.
• Marketing services are scoped per engagement after the audit, because ad budgets and channel mix vary too much for a flat menu to be honest.

Verified results

For a Meineke auto repair location, 90 days of conversion-optimized Meta advertising (April through June 2025) returned $7.20 for every $1 spent, with an average cost per lead of $30.25. That is the case study we publish because we can document every number in it. We do not publish projections, industry averages, or borrowed benchmarks as if they were our results.

How Make Wavs works

• Audit first. Every engagement starts with the free AI Audit, so recommendations come from the business's actual numbers rather than a template.
• Draft-first AI. AI employees draft; a human approves before anything reaches a customer. Nothing sends itself.
• Data stays put. For regulated firms, the Private AI Box runs entirely on-site with a signed data sovereignty agreement: no remote access, no telemetry, no phone-home.
• Documented claims. If we cite a number, we can show where it came from.
