From a 1990s operation
to an AI-native agency.

You took the business back over in January after two years of negative profit, and you have already called it correctly: WordWorks is running a 1990s operating model on a 2026 cost base. Four projects below start closing that gap in month one — recovering cash lost to currency conversion, replacing the six-week-late Excel reporting with live numbers, cutting the document-to-payment cycle from weeks to minutes, and fixing the AI search invisibility that is already costing you inbound enquiries.

We heard you

Three things you said.

We do not need to imagine the friction. You described it. Here it is reflected back — because solving it starts with making sure you know we actually heard it.

You said

It is very 90s the way we do it — everything is manual, and we do not use any specific tools for HR or contracts.

What we heardDecades-old administrative habits — PDF contracts signed and emailed back, manual bank sign-offs, a 25-year HR veteran who is the only one who truly knows the payroll calendar — are running a business that should be digital by default. This is not a tooling gap, it is a set of single points of failure with no documented process behind them.
You said

We do not need the freaking Excel. I have been saying that for years.

What we heardEvery number in the business — sales pipeline, production status, finance — is hand-built into colour-coded spreadsheets by one person, and the reports land roughly six weeks after the month closes. Leadership is making decisions on data that is already stale by the time it arrives.
You said

I have been going down in negative numbers for the past two years — I am going down and down and down and down.

What we heardRevenue has nearly halved from a 2.2 million euro peak to 1.3 million today, and the cost structure has not caught up. The business is carrying licensing, headcount and vendor spend sized for a company twice its current revenue, and every quarter of inaction compounds the loss.

The difference

WordWorks, running the way
you envisioned it.

Specific to a business like yours — with the complexity, team, and clients you are managing.

Picture the third of the month closing and the numbers already being there — live, in a chat window, not six weeks later in a colour-coded Excel file one person has to build by hand.

Picture a content creator in Jakarta signing her agreement, submitting her invoice, and being paid in rupiah by the next scheduled batch run — no La Caixa, no conversion fee, no one chasing a signature.

Picture typing ‘translation agency Spain’ into ChatGPT or Google Gemini and WordWorks actually appearing — because the site is finally built for AI to read, not just for a human to scroll past.

Before we even spoke

We looked at
wordworks.es.

Before this conversation, we ran a quick audit on your website — checking how WordWorks appears to AI search engines. What we found matters, and most businesses have no idea this is happening to them.

Quick audit · wordworks.es · October 1, 2026Audit complete

WordWorks is invisible to AI search.

Search ChatGPT, Google Gemini or Claude for ‘translation agency Spain’ today and WordWorks does not appear — despite 35 years in the industry and a network of 300+ active collaborators. Three structural gaps explain why.

Spanish-only content
The entire site is written in Spanish with no English version, which excludes WordWorks from the English-language queries international buyers actually type.
No structured answer content
There is no FAQ schema or direct question-and-answer content for AI engines to extract and cite when someone asks for a translation partner in Spain.
Authority signals sit in prose, not data
35 years in business, 300+ collaborators and 750 linguists worldwide are strong credentials, but they live in paragraph copy rather than structured data AI crawlers can verify and surface.
💡

Fix these three gaps and WordWorks starts showing up in the exact AI search queries your competitors are currently winning by default.

What we would build

Four projects. Running concurrently.

Month one moves on two tracks. The MetaBase live-reporting layer is deployed immediately — your first quick win, replacing the hand-built Excel reports within the first two weeks. Alongside that, your specialist initiates all four projects below the moment they join WordWorks, typically week two to three once your candidate panel is selected. Everything runs simultaneously, managed by your dedicated PM.
Project 01 · AI and Search

AI Search Visibility

We fix the three gaps the audit identified, and extend the same treatment to the wider online marketing you are currently running by hand. Homepage content becomes readable to AI crawlers, structured answer content goes in so AI engines can extract what WordWorks does, and your credentials are wired into structured data AI search engines can verify, cite and surface. The manual posting workflow across Hostinger, Metricool and your blog is automated and made measurable — tying content output directly to enquiries and sales, not just hours spent.

WordWorks visible in AI search — while your competitors are still invisible
Project 02 · Finance and Payments

Batch Payment and Multi-Currency Payroll

We do not touch in-house salaries until they are mapped against Spanish payroll law and your two external accountants’ existing work. The first build targets what can be automated safely — a Wise-based batch run for freelancer invoices, calculated from your HR data and approved with one click — running alongside your existing La Caixa confirming facility, not replacing it. Mixed invoice types (by-the-word, by-the-hour, Spanish-tax and non-Spanish) and your quarterly tax filing are mapped in the Adoption Pathway audit before anything changes, so your financial controller sees exactly what is proposed before it touches a single payment.

Recovers an estimated 15,000 euro a year in currency-conversion losses alone
Project 03 · Business Intelligence

Live Financial and Production Dashboard

A chat-based reporting layer replaces the hand-built Excel reports, drawing live from your project management data so sales, production and finance numbers are current the day you ask.

Closes a six-week reporting lag down to zero
Project 04 · Client Operations

Client Portal and E-Signature

A self-serve portal takes a client from quote to signed agreement to paid invoice, cutting the document-signing-to-money-in-the-bank cycle from a week or more down to minutes.

Turns a multi-day cash cycle into a same-day one

What the audit uncovers

Four projects is where
it starts.

The four projects above are what we identified without looking inside WordWorks. The AI Adoption Pathway is what happens when we do.

In month one — running alongside the candidate selection and the four identified projects — your team completes the AI Adoption Pathway surveys. We map every process, every friction point, every place where time is being lost or value is being left on the table.

Andrew holds a strategy session with you at the end of week two to three. What comes out is a prioritised, ROI-ranked plan of AI opportunities specific to WordWorks. Not a generic framework. Your plan. Your specialist works from it every week, reviewed every quarter.

The four projects give you momentum from day one. The Pathway gives you direction for everything that follows.

How it unfolds

From agreement to
full delivery.

A clear sequence. Every step is managed by REMAP — your involvement is focused and minimal.

Day 1

Agreement and Kickoff

You sign the engagement agreement. Billing begins. The specialist search opens immediately, and we send your team the AI Adoption Pathway surveys so that process runs in parallel from day one. We also deploy the MetaBase live-reporting layer — your first quick win, live before your specialist even starts.
