When you’re a web agency with the skills to build just about anything, it can be a challenge to find the right clients and earn their trust quickly.
That was the situation for Hatty AI, a high-performance development shop building everything from beautiful WordPress sites to AI-powered automation tools. They had the expertise. They had the systems. But they wanted more: bigger projects, higher-quality leads, and faster growth.
So, they joined the GoDaddy Agency Program, and the results speak for themselves.
From skills to scale: Hatty AI’s challenge
Even with 60+ years of combined experience, Hatty AI knew two things were holding them back:
- Breaking into larger, high-value projects where infrastructure credibility matters.
- Finding leads that match their advanced capabilities without wasting time on bad fits.
“We had the skills and systems to take on complex work, but we wanted to shorten the sales cycle and open more doors with well-qualified prospects.”- Joshua Hatfield, Founder, Hatty AI
Why the GoDaddy Agency Program?
Hatty AI and the GoDaddy Agency Program were exactly the strategic partnership their business needed. By joining forces, Hatty AI gained:
- Enterprise-level hosting and security to inspire client confidence.
- A dedicated Agency Success Manager (shout-out to Vicente Valdez) who took time to understand their strengths, client base, and growth goals.
- Access to qualified, ready-to-move leads that matched their sweet spot.
“It felt less like onboarding and more like building a meaningful partnership.” - Joshua Hatfield
1. Big wins and real results
- 100% close rate on GoDaddy leads*
- $110K in contracted revenue in their first 5 months
Since joining the GoDaddy Agency Program, Hatty AI has closed over $110,000 in contracted revenue and grown the agency by 10%. While not all of that revenue has been realized yet, Founder Joshua Hatfield sees it as a powerful indicator of momentum.
What caused such a vast increase in revenue? Joshua and his agency's guidance and expertise helped expand the client's needs and open up new opportunities for long-term relationships.
Every GoDaddy-referred lead that made it to a proposal turned into signed work.
Notable projects include:
- Enterprise ecommerce platform with AI personalization: Advanced engagement tools, smart product recommendations, and a scalable backend.
- Nationwide addiction recovery platform: Infrastructure and front-end rebuild after other vendors couldn’t deliver.
- Security assessment platform: Fast, secure deployment backed by GoDaddy hosting.
2. Repeat business and new service lines
Many GoDaddy-connected clients have returned for even more advanced work:
- Web3 development
- AI-powered chatbots
- Voice AI agents
- Custom automation workflows
This means more recurring revenue and deeper client trust.
3. GoDaddy’s brand boost
The GoDaddy name and infrastructure help close deals in competitive pitches. Pair that with Vicente’s proactive support, and Hatty AI can confidently pursue — and win — projects that demand reliability, security, and scale.
Advice for other agencies
Joshua’s advice is simple:
“Don’t think of it as just a vendor. Treat it like a strategic ally. Know your strengths, collaborate fully, and use every resource — especially your Agency Success Manager. The more you engage, the faster you’ll grow.”
