{"faqs":[{"answer":"We optimize your Google Business Profile, local citations, on-page schema, and review velocity for terms like 'open water certification,' 'scuba lessons,' and 'referral dives.' When divers search nearby, you appear in the map pack with photos, hours, and a direct booking path — driving calls, direction requests, and form fills from high-intent searchers.","question":"How does local SEO help my dive shop get more certification sign-ups?"},{"answer":"Yes. Our AI SDR and AI voice agents are trained on your specific offerings, prerequisites, rental policies, and medical form processes. They qualify leads using your rules and book directly into your calendar. Complex questions can be handed to a real person with full context preserved.","question":"Can your AI SDR handle dive-specific questions like medical form requirements or gear rental?"},{"answer":"Our AI Creative Lab produces UGC-style video ads and static creative built specifically for dive shops — showing real gear, boats, student reactions, and local dive sites. We deliver 10 concepts × 3 hook variations per Creative Sprint (up to 30 platform-ready videos) so you test angles like 'first breath underwater' vs 'family dive vacation' at media-buying speed.","question":"What makes your ad creative different from what a generic agency would produce?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns on Google and Meta can start producing inquiries within days of launch. Local SEO compounds over months. We launch both simultaneously — ads for immediate volume, SEO for sustained visibility — while AI SDR ensures every inquiry is qualified and booked fast.","question":"How quickly can paid campaigns start generating dive trip inquiries?"},{"answer":"No. Our AI SDR, Pipeline Recovery, and automation systems work with your existing CRM, calendar, phone, and booking tools. There's no platform to adopt — we integrate with what you already use and handle the execution.","question":"Do I need to switch CRM or booking software to work with Worqd?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the Bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We audit your local search presence, ad accounts, creative, and lead-handling process.
