Who is John Alewine?

I'm John Alewine. I live and work in Kansas City, and I build AI and business automation for small businesses. I also build and run eight businesses of my own. Every one is live, so you can check my work instead of taking my word for it. This page lists each one, shows you how to confirm my accounts are really mine, and tells you how to reach me. I take contract projects, and I'm open to full-time roles.

Who is John Alewine in Kansas City?

I'm a Kansas City consultant who builds AI and automation for businesses that run on calls, leads and follow-up. I describe myself as Kansas City's AI and business automation expert. That's my own positioning, not an award or a ranking. My businesses cover Google map pack work, email marketing, an AI voice receptionist called Nora, lead follow-up systems, email checking, crypto education, a roofer directory and AI visibility testing. Before this, I marketed to financial advisors.

What kind of consultant I am

An AI and automation consultant connects the tools you already use (phone line, calendar, CRM, email) so routine work gets done without someone watching it. A missed call gets answered. A new lead gets a reply. A typo in an email address gets caught.

A data science firm is different: it trains custom models. A full-service agency is different too: it runs your whole brand. I work closer to the ground. One business, one broken process, one working fix. The longer version is in my guide to AI automation for small business.

What I have built

All eight are live. Visit the site, read the prices and try the free tools.

• Get Found with AI: Tests how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity answer "who should I hire" prompts, then fixes what keeps a business hard to find. Check it: run the free AI recommendation test.

Blur, ContactLint and Crypto Guidance are trade names of Crypto Boutique LLC.

How to check that it's really me

These are the only places I post as myself:

• LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/johnalewine
• X: x.com/j0hn1x (the "0" is a zero)
• This site and the eight business sites above
• The live Nora demo line from Blur AI Solutions: (816) 683-2229

If a profile, phone number or email isn't on that list, don't assume it's me.

What I'm open to

I take contract projects. I'm also open to full-time roles in AI implementation, including forward-deployed engineer roles, where you work inside a team to get AI running in its real processes.

If you're hiring, read Hiring an AI implementation engineer in Kansas City and Who understands AI agents the best in Kansas City?

Who I'm not a fit for

If you want guaranteed results, I'm not your guy. Nobody honest can guarantee a map pack spot, an AI recommendation or a sales number.

Hire someone else when:

• You need brand, creative, media buying and a big team. Hire a large agency.
• You need custom machine learning models or enterprise data systems. Hire an enterprise data science firm.
• You want to compare many vendors side by side. Use a directory like Clutch.
• You have crypto tax or legal questions. Talk to a CPA or an attorney.

How I put this together

On October 23, 2026, I checked the top results for "Who is John Alewine?":

1. My LinkedIn profile. It's real, but the version search engines show is an older SEO, ads and crypto headline with no list of these businesses.
2. A people-search directory page for the name. It blends many people with the same name.
3. A LinkedIn profile for a different John Alewine (not linked here). It shows up for the same search.

None of them list my live businesses, show how to check my identity, warn about mixed-up records or answer the reviews question. This page covers all four.
