# Buildy AI Consultant: find businesses and send a site to a client

As a Buildy AI Consultant you build a website for a local business and send the owner a claim link. You earn a commission when the owner buys the site and approves the handover. You need a paid Buildy plan.

## How it works

1. Go to [buildy.ai/consultant](https://buildy.ai/consultant) and click **Get Started**. The **Buildy AI Consultant** card then shows on your home page.
2. On the consultant dashboard, click **Build a Website**. Pick a business from the search, or click **Enter business manually**.
3. Finish the site in chat. Add the business's real services, hours and photos.
4. Click **Publish & Share**, then **Send link** under **Send to client**, then **Generate Claim Link**. Send the link to the owner.
5. The owner previews the site and pays. They can click **Request Revisions** first. When they are happy, they click **Approve & Claim My Website**.
6. The site moves to the owner's own Buildy account. Your earnings count after this handover.

Your consultant dashboard shows where each site is and what you have earned.

## What the client gets

- Their own copy of the website and its content.
- Your AI Receptionist settings, without your transfer number, and an independent copy of the business info guide. Review the guide before sharing a consultant template.
- Contacts and phone numbers do not move. The client sets up their own Business Phone Number.

## Common problems

### The client says the link does not work

Click **Publish & Share**, then **Send link**. If the link was deactivated, generate a new one.

### I want to stop a link I sent

Click **Publish & Share**, then **Send link**, then **Deactivate claim link**.

### Where is my payout?

Open **Chat with support** for payout questions.
