Build a Custom GPT for your Santa Clarita Business the Simple Way (Connor with Honor’s Local Playbook)
Build a Custom GPT for your Santa Clarita Business the Simple Way (Connor with Honor’s Local Playbook)
By Connor MacIvor — “Connor with Honor,” Founder of SantaClaritaArtificialIntelligence.com, Host of SantaClaritaAI.com; Realtor (SantaClaritaOpenHouses.com); AI Growth Architect at HonorElevate.com; coder since the early ’80s; former LAPD.
TL;DR
Yes, you can build a custom GPT in an afternoon — even if you’re not technical.
Think of it like teaching a new hire with a binder: what to do, what not to do, how to speak.
Start with one clear job (e.g., “Answer questions about our Santa Clarita services and book consults”).
Use plain-English instructions, a small set of starter files, and safe defaults (no PII, no medical/legal advice).
Wire in measurement: what success looks like (leads, bookings, FAQs deflected).
Keep it local and trustworthy: add SCV examples, and comply with TCPA/CAN-SPAM basics for any outreach you trigger downstream.
Ship a v1 in hours, then iterate weekly with short tests.

Why Custom GPTs Matter in Santa Clarita
Here in Santa Clarita Valley, we move fast and we take care of each other. A custom GPT is like hiring a polite, always‑on concierge who knows your business, your boundaries, and your neighborhood. It doesn’t replace your team — it handles the repetitive, consistent work so humans can do the high‑trust, high‑touch parts.
In plain English: your GPT is a playbook-reading assistant. You feed it your rules and examples. It stays in‑bounds, answers how you answer, and hands off to you when the question is sensitive or the stakes are high.
What We’re Building (and What We’re NOT)
We’re building:
A simple, job-focused GPT with clear instructions in my voice (friendly, direct, neighborly).
A private “knowledge pack” (PDF/Docs/FAQs) with your offers, service areas, schedule, and disclaimers.
Guardrails to avoid risky topics, with human handoffs for anything sensitive.
A measurement plan: What counts as a win (bookings, leads, FAQ solves) and how we’ll track it.
We’re NOT building:
A do‑everything bot. (Scope creep kills quality.)
Legal/medical advisor.
A spam machine. (We respect TCPA/CAN‑SPAM, consent, and quiet hours.)
Analogy: Think of your GPT like a well-trained barista. It makes great coffee, remembers regulars, and knows when to call the manager.
Connor’s 7‑Step Simple Build
1) Pick One Job
Choose the single, painful job you want solved first. Examples:
“Answer FAQs and book consults for our SCV landscaping company.”
“Triage ‘What neighborhood fits me?’ questions and point to our best blog posts.”
“Turn inbound questions into clean leads in our CRM with tags and notes.”
Why one job? Focus makes the instructions short, the answers consistent, and the success measurable.
Write this down (1 sentence):
“This GPT’s job is to help Santa Clarita families and businesses understand [SERVICE], answer common questions in our voice, and route serious inquiries to [BOOKING/LINK].”
2) Write the House Rules
This is the heart of your custom GPT — the part where you tell it exactly how to behave.
Use my template (paste into your GPT’s instructions):
Role & Mission
“You are the assistant for [BUSINESS NAME] in Santa Clarita Valley. Your mission is to answer questions in our friendly, plain‑English style and help the visitor take the next step (book, call, or read the right page).”
Voice
“Clear, confident, neighborly. Avoid jargon. If a concept is complex, add a quick ‘this is like…’ analogy.”
Boundaries
No legal, medical, or financial advice.
Don’t collect sensitive data (SSN, credit card, HIPAA, exact DOB).
If the user asks for anything risky, say you can’t and offer a safe alternative or a human handoff.
Local Context
“Prefer Santa Clarita examples. Know neighborhoods like Valencia, Saugus, Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch, Newhall. Mention traffic, schools, and timing when relevant.”
Next Steps
“When someone shows intent (e.g., ‘Can you help me?’), offer one clear option: [BOOKING LINK] or [CONTACT LINK].”
Quality Checks
“Before answering:
Is my answer true and specific?
Am I inside the boundaries?
Did I give one obvious next step?”
3) Give It Your Playbook
Upload the minimum set of materials your GPT needs to be useful on day one:
About & Services (one-pager).
Top 20 FAQs (short answers).
Pricing/tiers (ranges are fine).
Service area (Santa Clarita neighborhoods; include maps/screens if helpful).
Booking/Contact (final URLs).
Disclaimers (what you won’t do).
Pro Tip (Connor): Don’t dump your whole Dropbox. Give it the cleanest 5–10 pages first. You can add more once v1 is working.
4) Teach the Voice
Give 3–5 example answers in your tone. The GPT will generalize.
Example (tone sample):
“Great question. Short answer: yes, we serve Valencia and Stevenson Ranch. The calendar link above is the fastest way to get on the books. If you’re not ready to schedule, this 2‑minute guide covers the basics and what to expect on day one.”
Add a mini style guide:
Prefer short paragraphs.
Use bullet points when listing steps.
Add one analogy for any tricky idea.
Avoid hype; keep it helpful.
5) Define Outputs & Checks
Tell your GPT what finished work should look like.
Output patterns to include in the instructions:
FAQ answers → 2–4 short paragraphs + 1 clear CTA.
Directions → bullet steps, links, and landmarks (SCV‑specific when helpful).
Summaries → 3 bullets max, plain English.
Sensitive topics → graceful refusal + human handoff.
Quality checklist (the GPT self‑checks each answer):
Does this match our voice?
Is there exactly one next step?
Did I stay within boundaries?
6) Test Like a Customer
Put on a customer hat and try 10 realistic questions:
“Do you serve Canyon Country?”
“What does this cost?”
“Can you start this week?”
“How does it work?”
“What if I’m not happy?”
“Where are you located?”
“Can you show me reviews?”
“What neighborhoods do you recommend for [goal]?”
“Can you text me?”
“How do I book?”
Flag anything that feels off. Tweak the house rules or source docs, not the one-off answer. You’re training the system, not patching it.
7) Ship, Measure, Improve
You don’t need perfect. You need useful.
Ship v1 and watch:
Leads captured (per week).
Bookings created (kept appointments).
FAQ deflection (how many questions handled without needing you).
Time‑to‑first response (if you route to humans).
Iterate weekly: add one new FAQ, tighten one answer, and run one tiny experiment (e.g., new CTA wording). Document changes in a simple changelog.
Action Playbooks
Local Business (Service, Retail, Trades)
Goal: turn website questions into booked appointments.
Starter instructions add‑on:
“If the user shares a phone number, thank them but don’t auto‑text. Offer our booking link. Respect opt‑out language if they use it.”
“If someone asks for deals, point to our Specials page and note seasonal timing in SCV (heat waves, wind, school calendar).”
Files to upload first: services one‑pager, pricing ranges, service area map, booking link, 10 reviews.
Two v1 CTAs: “Book a 10‑minute call” or “Get a same‑day quote.”
Metrics that matter: cost per kept appointment; show rate; 5‑star reviews velocity.
Real Estate (Realtors, Teams, Lenders)
I wear my Realtor hat here, too. Your GPT should act like a friendly showing assistant with great manners.
Starter jobs:
Qualify buyers lightly (budget range, timeline, favorite areas like Valencia/Northbridge).
Offer tour scheduling and open house info.
Route listings/education (“First‑time buyers? Here’s your 7‑step path.”)
Files to upload: buyer & seller FAQs, open house schedule page, consult booking link, market update template, neighborhood guides.
CTAs: “Book your 10‑minute consult” / “Get your home price range.”
Guardrails: no financial advice or rate quotes; point to licensed pros.
Families & Parents (Homework, Safety, Screen‑Time)
Your family GPT is a coach, not a disciplinarian.
Starter jobs:
Turn school emails into plain‑English checklists.
Summarize long homework prompts into doable steps.
Propose screen‑time agreements the family can actually follow.
Files to upload: school calendar highlights, family rules, device list, “what we value” one‑pager.
Guardrails: no health/medical advice; suggest talking to a teacher/counselor when appropriate.
Mini Case Study: A Santa Clarita HVAC Shop
Problem: summer rush → phones ringing → team slammed with repetitive questions.
V1 GPT job: “Answer AC repair FAQs and book 15‑minute consults for Valencia/Stevenson Ranch homes.”
Inputs: services one‑pager, prices (range), service area list, booking link, 8 reviews.
Rules: neighborly tone, no diagnostics over chat, one clear CTA.
Week 1 results: 32 questions answered, 14 consult bookings, 9 kept. Owner freed ~6 hours.
Iteration: Added “What to check before you call” checklist to reduce unqualified calls and scaled reminders around SCV heat advisories.
Choosing the Right Scope (Comparisons & Trade‑offs)
Scope When to choose it Pros Cons FAQ‑only You need quick wins; limited docs Fast to ship; low risk No booking/lead handling FAQ + Lead Capture You can handle follow‑ups Clear ROI; fills pipeline Needs CRM flow Triage + Booking Service business w/ calendars Fewer calls; higher show rate Requires reminders/ops Internal Assistant Busy team, many SOPs Saves staff time No direct revenue on day 1
Connor’s rule: start one level simpler than you think.
Local SEO Angle: Make Your GPT a Santa Clarita Pro
Give your GPT local hooks so answers feel grounded:
Mention specific neighborhoods (Valencia, Saugus, Newhall, Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch).
Add landmarks (Westfield Valencia Town Center, The Cube, Central Park) when giving directions.
Link to your local blog posts for depth (see Recommended Reading below).
Encourage reviews post‑service; respond promptly and politely.
Risk, Safety & Governance (Practical, Not Scary)
Boundaries to set in the instructions:
No sensitive data collection (SSN, credit card, HIPAA, student records).
No medical, legal, or financial decisions.
Always give a human path for complex/sensitive issues.
Messaging compliance basics:
If you later connect texting or email, get clear consent; provide opt‑out; honor quiet hours.
Keep records of consent and avoid hype.
Reputation: ask for reviews after a successful service; never incentivize for positive reviews; reply to all feedback.
Quality loop:
Weekly 20‑minute review of transcripts.
Tag top 5 recurring questions; update the FAQ page and the GPT sources.
Implementation Checklists

One‑sentence job statement written.
House rules pasted into GPT instructions.
5–10 clean pages uploaded (About, FAQs, pricing ranges, service areas, booking link, disclaimers).
Voice samples added (3–5 short answers).
Output patterns defined (FAQs, directions, summaries, sensitive topics).

FAQ (Plain-English Answers)
Q1: Do I need to be technical?
No. Think in checklists and examples. The platform handles the plumbing; you handle the clarity.
Q2: How many files should I upload?
Start with 5–10 pages. Quality beats quantity.
Q3: What’s the fastest way to see value?
Pick one job (FAQ + booking), add a calendar link, and measure kept appointments.
Q4: Can the GPT write emails or texts?
Yes — but keep outreach consent‑based and human‑reviewed. Use the bot to draft; you push send.
Q5: How do I keep it from saying the wrong thing?
Tight house rules, clear boundaries, small starter docs, and a weekly review.
Q6: Can it learn our neighborhoods?
Absolutely. Include a short page listing SCV neighborhoods plus a sentence on who they’re great for.
Q7: What if prices change a lot?
Use ranges and say, “Final quotes after an inspection/consult.” Update the pricing PDF monthly.
Q8: What about Spanish speakers?
Add a note: “If the user prefers Spanish, reply in Spanish with the same boundaries and CTA.”
Q9: Can I connect it to my CRM?
Yes, once v1 is stable. Start simple, then add CRM capture, tags, and calendar syncing.
Q10: How will I know it’s working?
You’ll see repeat questions drop, bookings rise, and fewer back‑and‑forth emails.
Q11: Will this replace staff?
No — it supports staff and frees them for high‑trust work.
Q12: Can I use it for training new hires?
Yes. Your GPT doubles as a living SOP.
Q13: How often should I update it?
Weekly is ideal. Add one FAQ, refine one answer, remove one confusion.
Q14: What if someone asks for something we don’t do?
Say no politely, explain what you do, and offer a helpful alternative or a human handoff.
Q15: Where should it live on my site?
On your Contact and Services pages first; later, site‑wide.
Key Takeaways
Pick one job.
Write house rules like you’re briefing a new hire.
Upload 5–10 clean pages — not your entire archive.
Add voice samples and output patterns.
Ship, measure, improve weekly.

Realtor Version: Your Neighborhood‑Savvy GPT (Showings, Tours, and First‑Time Buyers)
Purpose: Turn website and chat questions into booked consults and tours while staying compliant and human‑first.

House Rules Add‑On (Realtor)
No legal, tax, or lending advice; for rates and pre‑approval, refer to licensed lenders.
No guarantees about appreciation or multiple offers; use ranges and recent examples.
Respect privacy: do not ask for SSN, full DOB, or financial documents.
If someone asks for a valuation, provide a range and invite a consult for specifics.
Prefer local detail: Valencia, Northbridge, Saugus, Canyon Country, Newhall, Stevenson Ranch; mention schools, commute routes (I‑5, 14), and amenities (Westfield Valencia Town Center, The Cube, Central Park) when helpful.
Files to Upload (start with 5–10 pages)

“Think of pre‑approval like a boarding pass: it doesn’t fly the plane, but you won’t get on without it. I’m not your lender, but I’ll introduce you to a local pro if you’d like.”
Output Patterns (what good looks like)
Neighborhood fit → 3 bullets (vibe, price range, commute/schools) + 1 CTA (book consult).
Tour setup → step‑by‑step: choose areas → confirm budget range → calendar link.

Files to Upload: services (EV charger, panel upgrade, lighting), pricing ranges, service area, safety checklist, booking link, permit/inspection overview.
Voice Samples:

Education mini‑guides (EV charger levels, GFCI vs AFCI) in 4–6 bullets.
Test Prompts: “Do you install EV chargers in Newhall?” “Lights flicker in Canyon Country,” “Panel upgrade for solar in Saugus.”
