Precision Local – Customer Showcase

Overview

Precision Local is an SME digital agency specialising in website builds, SEO, content creation, and client reporting. As a tech-savvy organisation, they understand cloud tools and workflows, but prefer to delegate infrastructure, automation, and backend management to a trusted partner. Their goal was to focus entirely on delivering digital services without being slowed down by operational or hosting concerns.

Their Challenges

Before partnering with The Nerdy Cloud Guy, Precision Local needed a more structured, scalable, and efficient cloud environment. Their challenges included:

• A need for reliable domain, website, and email hosting
• A centralised platform for timesheets, SOPs, client reports, and content management
• Higher-than-necessary costs from mainstream SaaS tools
• A need for automated social media workflows
• Device-compatible and reliably delivered email communications
• A custom proxy solution that would allow websites hosted in AWS S3 to be served cleanly over HTTP(S) through Cloudflare
• They wanted a streamlined infrastructure that supported their operations without adding overhead.

What They Wanted

Precision Local made it clear that they wanted to stay focused on their core services while leaving “the nerdy stuff” to us. They wanted automation, simplicity, reliability, and predictable costs.
