Chris Whaley
After a career in big tech, Chris spent the last 10 years working for private equity firms and digital agencies. Then he started his own small business, acquiring and operating self-storage facilities across the Midwest. He needed websites that ranked, Google Ads that converted, and a way to tell his story online that agencies struggled to provide. So he built everything himself. The websites, the SEO, the ad campaigns, the content. The portfolio grew and his revenue tripled. Every site ranks on page 1.
But the real insight wasn't the tech — it was the gap. Small businesses are being left behind by AI. Their competitors are showing up in ChatGPT recommendations, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity answers — and they're not. Traditional agencies aren't solving this. They're still building WordPress sites and charging $5,000/month for the privilege.
Flint Digital was built to close that gap. We harness AI to tell your story, deliver in days not weeks, serve your customers, and make sure the next person searching for what you do — whether on Google or through an AI — finds you first.
Not another agency. A different model.
Traditional agencies bill for project managers, account reps, and junior designers. We use AI to handle the volume work and pass the savings directly to you.
AI-native, not AI-sprinkled
Every workflow runs through purpose-built AI. We ship agency-quality work at half the cost in half the time. That's the structural advantage.
Operator-built credibility
We built and ranked our own sites, managed our own ad budgets, and scaled our own businesses before touching a client project.
