Human experience. Amplified.

I'm Michael Proctor. I sold search ads when Overture was selling clicks on Yahoo for fractions of a cent. Today I run the marketing and the tech for Able Rooter, my brother Tom's drain shop in St. Louis. Every system I sell, I built and proved there first.

No charge to request the call. Mike or Tom calls back within one business hour.

Numbers with sourcesOne accountable personYour accounts, your data
Who it's for

Business, big and small.

The recipe was proven on a family drain company because that's where I could prove it with my own numbers. It works anywhere real work gets done for real customers.

Local serviceTrades, clinics, salons: own the towns you work in.
Multi-location & franchiseOne page per location, one standard across all of them.
E-commerce & retailProduct and category pages that answer real buying questions.
Professional servicesCase studies and answers that prove expertise before the call.
B2B & manufacturingSpec-level content for buyers who research for weeks.
Startups & appsLaunch pages, guides and a data loop from day one.
The Absolute First system

Five tools. One idea.

Each tool has one job and does it well. Together they turn finished work into the next customer, for a two-truck shop or a fifty-location brand.

Data Hub

See what deserves attention

Recorded sales, average ticket, traffic and leads on one screen. Better, worse or the same, one week at a time.

What makes it different
Search sits next to the money, so you see which pages actually pay.
For any business
One weekly scorecard for a single shop or fifty locations.
How it works →

The Desk

Where the work lives

Calls, customers, appointments, pricing and job history in one place. The last visit is already on the card.

What makes it different
It treats every finished job as raw material, not a closed ticket.
For any business
A retailer's orders, a firm's matters, a clinic's visits: one record per customer, every time.
How it works →

Story Drive

Develop the story

Notes, photos and the job itself become a draft: the findings plus the place, ready to be a page.

What makes it different
The draft starts from proof you already have, so it can't be generic.
For any business
A finished project, a delivered order or a solved case becomes a case study draft.
How it works →

Content Blast

Review, then publish

Draft, then review, then the connected publish step. Nothing goes up until a person reads it.

What makes it different
A human checkpoint built into the machine: speed without the embarrassing mistakes.
For any business
Any team publishing at volume keeps one owner accountable for every word.
How it works →

Sidekick

Say it. It writes it.

Record what you want to say, in your own words. Sidekick turns it into articles and content, ready for review.

What makes it different
It starts from your voice, not a blank prompt, so the content sounds like the person who knows the work.
For any business
An owner, a doctor or a sales lead talks for two minutes. The business gets an article, a post and a page to review.
How it works →

Sample screens illustrate how each tool works. They are not a live account.3

How it works

Every job works twice.

Most business websites sit still. Ours run in a loop: the site attracts the lead, the work gets recorded, the record becomes the next page, and the numbers show what to do next.

One job, six assets

What happens after the truck leaves.

Finished work is the most valuable thing a business makes, and most businesses throw it away. Shown here with a drain job; the same goes for an order, a project or a client engagement.

Report · Heal · Grow

A system that tells you how it's doing.

Signals from Google, the store, the phone and the reviews come together in one place. It reports every day, flags what's slipping, and grows with every job.

Reports

Data Hub puts recorded sales, traffic and leads on one screen. Compare periods. See the services and towns behind the money.

You see it every morning
Heals

Connection monitoring catches a broken link to Google or the store. Pages that start losing clicks get flagged for a refresh.

A person makes the fix
Grows

Every finished job can become a new page. More pages that match real searches bring the next call, which makes the next page.

The loop compounds
Case study

Most agencies show a client's chart. I show my own shop.

Able Rooter is a family drain, sewer and plumbing company in South City St. Louis, at the work since 2011. Each number names where it came from.

Apps for industry

Industry-level data apps for high-end manufacturing.

Same method, different floor. On an SMT line, one wrong number in a part program costs a reel, a board or a shift. PnP Toolkit puts the datasheet math, the reel checks and the shift handoff in the operator's hand, on every major pick-and-place platform, not just one machine.

PnP Toolkit is independent software. It is not made, endorsed or supported by any machine maker named here. The savings calculator uses figures you enter; it does not track results.

  • QFN decoder. Datasheet dimensions in, program values out, with a to-scale drawing and warnings for likely input mistakes.
  • Scan and capture. Photos of reel labels, product pages or dimension tables fill the form.
  • Kitting and load check. A paste-in BOM becomes a per-reel kitting list; every reel is checked against the job, including near-matches and reels that will run out mid-job.
  • MSL timers. Open moisture-sensitive bags and bake times, tracked.
  • Mispick log and shift handoff. The worst feeders ranked, open issues passed to the next shift.

Solid ground

Do it right, and it keeps paying.

Tricks work until the next Google update. Honest pages built from real jobs don't expire. They pile up, and each one makes the next one stronger.

The difference

An agency rents you traffic. We build an asset you own: pages, reviews, records and numbers in your name, on your accounts.

The opportunity

Most businesses, big and small, still run a brochure site. Search and AI assistants now reward specific, honest answers. Few businesses have them, and every finished job, order or project is a chance to add one.

The long-term promise

No shortcuts that get punished later. No content you'd be embarrassed to defend. Year one builds the foundation. Year three, you're standing on it.

The typical agencyAbsolute First
Who owns the workThe agency's platform. Leave, and the pages go with it.You. Your domain, your accounts, your content.
What a page saysA template with the town name swapped in.Real work only your business could show.

About

An operator who got new tools, not a software company visiting a trade.

Industry-level data apps that support high-end manufacturing processes are part of the work now too: PnP Toolkit puts SMT pick-and-place setup in the operator's hand. I've stood on both sides of a business: the sale, and the night something breaks. AI didn't give me the experience. It gave me a faster way to put it to work. Claude, ChatGPT and Grok are my tools, not my staff. One person is on the hook for your account, and it's me.

  1. Marina del Rey, California

    InfoSearch Media

    Sales and development in early paid search, when Overture sold pay-per-click ads on Yahoo for fractions of a cent.

  2. Huntington Beach, California

    Patriot Safe Company

    Moved from sales toward director and vice president while the company grew from about $100,000 to about $9 million.

  3. St. Louis, Missouri · since 2011

    Able Rooter

    Co-runs the shop with his brother, Thomas Craig. Built the website, the reviews program, the video channel and the job desk.

  4. Now

    Absolute First

    Turning that operating life into tools other owners and operators can use: ServicePlumber for the trades, and PnP Toolkit for high-end electronics manufacturing.

What I promise

  • A callback within one business hour, 8 AM to 6 PM Central, Monday through Saturday.
  • Every number in a report names its source and date.
  • A backup before any live change. Your jobs and records never get wiped.

What I won't promise

Fine print

  1. Able Rooter figures. Google rating and review counts from Able Rooter's two public Google Maps listings (1,052 + 13 = 1,065, both 5.0), checked Oct 28, 2026; 1,182 total adds Facebook (63, 5.0) and Yelp (51 + 3, 4.8). Video views: 1,770,950 summed from the 403 of 1,207 videos TikTok would load on @sewerspaidforit.com (the true total is higher), YouTube @sewerspaidforit 326,099 views as shown on the channel, and @the.drain.bros 34,682 across 25 videos, checked Oct 28, 2026. Facebook and Instagram plays are not included because they are not publicly visible. Recorded sales ($2,010,552), orders (4,754), cities (177) and average order ($423) come from Able Rooter's own shop ledger in ServicePlumber. They are not audited and are not a share of any market. The 83% figure is 282 of 340 written Google reviews checked Oct 24, 2026.
  2. Results are not typical. Able Rooter is owned and operated by Michael Proctor and Thomas Craig, the people behind Absolute First. Its results reflect years of work, one market and one team. Your results will differ.
  3. Sample screens. Product visuals and figures shown inside them are illustrative samples, not a live customer account.
  4. Growth model. The estimator is a hypothetical illustration using inputs you choose. The default leads-per-page, publishing share and close-rate values are assumptions, not measured rates from Able Rooter or any client; only the $423 default ticket comes from Able Rooter's ledger. It assumes a 3-month ramp and no page decay. Actual results depend on your market, competition, search engine and AI assistant changes, execution and many factors outside anyone's control.
  5. No guarantees. Nothing on this site guarantees rankings, citations by AI assistants, leads, sales or revenue.
  6. Plan prices. ServicePlumber plan prices as listed on serviceplumber.app, Oct 2026. Setup plus the first month is due at signup. Ad spend, domains, taxes, third-party fees and excess usage are separate. Custom engagements are scoped and priced in writing after a review.
  7. Reviews. Quotes are short excerpts from public Google reviews of Able Rooter, shown with the reviewer's first name and last initial as displayed. Reviews written by the owners are excluded.
  8. Third-party names. Google, TikTok, Facebook, Yelp, Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and other names belong to their owners. Their mention implies no endorsement.
  9. Google rankings. From the Google Search Console Performance report for ablerooter.com, web search, checked Oct 27, 2026, using both of the site's properties: the https property (data from Oct 10 to Oct 26, 2026; 1,000 search terms, 111 averaging first place) and the http property (16-month view, June 2025 to Oct 2026; 551 search terms, 57 averaging first place). “First place” means Google reported an average position below 1.5, which rounds to 1. The board shows 140 unique searches after leaving out searches for the company's own name, searches naming other companies, machine-generated phrasing and towns outside the service area. Where a search appears in both properties, the row with more impressions is shown, and each row lists its data window. Average position is Google's average of the highest spot the site appeared in each time it was shown. Rankings vary by location, device, time and personalization, and many of these searches had few or no clicks, so the board shows visibility, not traffic. Past rankings do not guarantee future rankings.
  10. AI recommendations. Google AI answers: the Generative AI features report in Google Search Console for https://www.ablerooter.com, web search, 480 impressions with data from Oct 10 to Oct 26, 2026, checked Oct 27, 2026; page counts come from the same report. AI assistant visits: Google Analytics 4, Traffic acquisition by session source for Able Rooter, Jan 1, 2024 to Oct 26, 2026: chatgpt.com 0 sessions in 2024, 17 in 2025 and 75 in 2026; copilot.com and perplexity combined 1 in 2024, 2 in 2025 and 4 in 2026. Analytics counts only visits where the assistant passed its name along, so the true number may be higher; people who read an AI answer and then called without visiting are not counted at all. Impressions and sessions are not customers, and not every visit led to a job. “$0” means Able Rooter has not paid for advertising in any AI assistant. AI assistants change their answers over time; past mentions do not guarantee future ones. The example searches are real queries from Search Console, shown with Google's reported average position.
