What stood out is that Vlad doesn't sell; he diagnoses. Within the first ten minutes, he pinpointed the two things holding me back. Then he gave me a concrete fix for each. He was also refreshingly open about his own numbers, his assessment process, and what did and didn't work for him on Alignable. That kind of candor is rare. If you're a business owner who knows AI should be doing something for you but can't see where to start, Vlad is the person to talk to first. He starts with the business, not the tools. And he'll tell you the truth. Highly recommended.”

About Us

AI can help your business. The hard part is knowing where to begin.

I am Vlad Gutenmakher, an AI Coach and founder of Set Up Shop Online Inc. I help nontechnical business owners identify where AI can create the most value before they spend money on tools or implementation.

We start with your business, not the technology. Together, we look at your goals, workflows, customers, team, and biggest obstacles. Then we identify practical opportunities to save time, get more qualified leads, increase revenue, improve follow up, reduce repetitive work, serve customers better, and help your team accomplish more.

You do not need to become an AI expert. You need clear priorities, trusted guidance, and a practical plan you can act on with confidence.

I also partner with technology providers. I help define the opportunity, business case, desired outcome, and adoption plan. They implement the solution.

The best first step is a complimentary AI Fitness Assessment. We will uncover your strongest opportunities and determine the smartest plan to begin.

How We Got Started

Set Up Shop Online began by helping businesses improve their online presence through websites, software, digital strategy, and technology.

Over time, we realized our clients were not simply looking for more tools. They wanted more qualified buyers, stronger sales, better customer experiences, healthier profits, smarter decisions, and more capacity to grow.

That led us to ask a better question:

Where can AI and technology create the greatest value for this business?

Today, we help business owners clarify what they want to achieve, identify the best opportunities, and create a practical roadmap for moving forward.

The right solution might be AI, automation, better search visibility, software integration, team training, improved reporting, or a custom system.

Our goal is simple: help you use the right technology in the right place to increase revenue, improve profit, serve customers better, and grow with confidence.

She has a real ability to listen to people, understand what is beneath the surface, and help them see the value in what they already know and do. Robin genuinely cares about helping people get out of their own way, recognize their gifts, and build something more purposeful around them. She is not leading with a product or a transaction. She leads with the person. If you are a solopreneur, professional, or business owner who feels stuck, unclear about your direction, or unsure how to turn your experience into something meaningful, I would absolutely recommend talking with Robin.
