Small business automation and technical SEO that works
I build automation and technical SEO for small businesses. On the automation side: forms, chatbots, AI agents, and workflows with Zapier, Make, and n8n. On the SEO side: I find what keeps your site from ranking and fix it in the code. Based in the Philippines, working with small businesses in the US and worldwide.
Good automation usually starts with one annoying task: a form, a follow-up, a report, or a record someone updates by hand. We map the smallest useful version first.
Useful workflows. Built around your tools.
Forms, chatbots, AI agents, Zapier, Make, n8n, CRM automation, email workflows, reporting, and tool integrations for small businesses.
Smart forms and lead capture
Useful forms for leads, bookings, requests, and internal intake. The goal is clean data and fast follow-up.
AI chatbots
Simple website or internal bots that answer common questions, collect details, and know when to hand off.
AI agents for repetitive tasks
Small helpers for summaries, tagging, drafting, routing, research, and other repeatable admin work.
Zapier / Make / n8n workflows
Workflows that connect the apps you already use. Zapier for speed, Make for visual logic, n8n for control.
CRM, email, spreadsheet automation
Keep contacts, notes, reminders, and status fields in sync across the tools your team opens daily.
Reports and notifications
Daily summaries, alerts, and exception reports that show what changed and what needs attention.
Technical SEO and site audits
Indexing, schema, Core Web Vitals, titles and CTR from Search Console. I find what blocks rankings and fix it in the site. See SEO work.
Inspectable automation cases.
Real n8n workflows with the trigger, rules, AI step, screenshots, and handoff notes shown in full.
Slack Knowledge Bot with n8n
Ask in Slack, search approved Google Drive docs via Qdrant, answer with sources or a low-confidence note.
Self-hosted n8n Deployment
Private automation infrastructure: Cloudflare, Docker, n8n, PostgreSQL, HTTPS, and basic hardening.
Lead Outreach Drafts with n8n
Research a public site with Groq, draft one short message with DeepSeek, save it to Airtable for review.
A simple way of working. No mystery in the middle.
Automation or SEO, the shape is the same: start with one task or one page, build or fix a working version, test it, and leave you with something you can understand.
We pin down the one task or page that matters most, who owns the result, and what a useful outcome actually looks like.
We decide what needs doing, what needs a human check, and what happens at the edges, like missing data in a workflow or a change that could shift rankings.
I make the change, a working automation or a concrete SEO fix in the site, keep it inspectable, and test the normal case plus the edge cases.
You get the live setup or a prioritized fix list, short notes, and a clear first place to look if something needs attention.
Start with one useful workflow. Grow only if it works.
For automation, start with a $75 audit when the right workflow is unclear, or a $150 fixed-scope build when it is already clear. For SEO, choose a one-time $150 audit or ongoing work from $300/month.
Workflow audit: from $75
One manual process mapped and reviewed before a build. Tool, cost, risk, and handoff notes. Simple next-step recommendation. Good fit / not worth it call.
Simple automation: from $150
Forms, lead trackers, alerts, simple reports. Basic Zapier, Make, n8n, or chatbot setup. Short handoff notes included.
Workflow buildout: from $500
Multiple tools or handoff points. AI drafts, agents, or review steps if useful. Testing, failure notes, and screenshots.
SEO audit: $150
Technical and on-page audit. Indexing, schema, speed, titles, CTR. Prioritized fix list. No retainer, no ranking promises. What is included.
Monthly SEO: from $300/mo
Ongoing technical SEO after the audit: fixes, index cleanup, on-page work, and a report you can read. What you pay depends on your site size and what the audit surfaces. No lock-in. See monthly SEO.

What Is n8n? A Guide for Small Businesses
No jargon, no code. What n8n is, what it can automate, how to start free, and why I use it over Zapier and Make.
Make for Small Business
The prettiest builder in automation: what it is great at, what its credits really cost, and when it is the right tool.

The easiest start and the most integrations by far. What Zapier is best at, and the point where it gets expensive.

The Technical SEO Fixes Agencies Won't Touch
Duplicate titles, wrong canonicals, parameter URLs, broken links, and a bloated sitemap.

FloxoLab is run by Stepan Nikonov. It has grown to cover two things small business sites actually need: automation and technical SEO. On the automation side I use Zapier, Make, n8n, forms, chatbots, AI agents, Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, Gmail, and Slack.
On the SEO side I find what keeps a site from ranking and fix it in the code: indexing and crawl issues, schema, Core Web Vitals, titles, and the CTR problems that show up in Search Console. I work async-first with small businesses in the US and the Philippines.

Questions small businesses ask. Plain answers.
No. I use Zapier, Make, n8n, forms, chatbots, AI tools, and simple custom code when needed. The best tool depends on the workflow, budget, and how much control you want.
Start with a task that has a clear trigger and a clear result: a new lead, a paid invoice, a support request, a weekly report, or a repeated follow-up.
Yes. Zapier is usually fastest for simple automations, Make is strong for visual branching, and n8n is useful when you need more control or self-hosting. I can help you pick based on the workflow, not the brand.
Usually, yes. If your team already uses Google Sheets, Gmail, HubSpot, Airtable, Slack, Telegram, Notion, or similar tools, I try to build around that instead of forcing a new stack.
A good workflow should make failures visible. I include simple notes about where it runs, what can fail, and what to check first. Ongoing support is available if you do not want to maintain it yourself.
That is the goal. I keep the setup understandable and include handoff notes. For self-hosted n8n, someone still needs to own hosting, updates, monitoring, and fixes.
I do not build spam systems, misleading demos, or automations that depend on private data without permission. I also avoid huge vague projects. Small, useful workflows are the sweet spot.
Yes. Technical and on-page SEO is a second service line for small business: indexing and crawl issues, schema, Core Web Vitals, titles and meta, and CTR problems pulled from Search Console. The fixed-price SEO audit is $150.
