Jennifer Bagley, CEO of CI Web Group and visionary behind Hydra OS, has received the 2026 Innovation Award from The Sisterhood, an honor recognizing women who are building the future of their industries.
The recognition centers on a simple idea with compounding results: put the most powerful marketing technology in the industry into the hands of women who are building trades businesses, and then watch what they build with it.
Hydra OS is the first AI-first operating system website. Instead of a static site and a pile of disconnected tools, a Hydra OS website runs on one central intelligence, a knowledge base that holds everything about the business and directs a team of specialist agents across SEO, AEO, GEO, local search, design, and content. It is the same technology CI Web Group deploys for the largest distributor and manufacturer groups in home services.
The Women in the Trades Hydra OS website giveaway exists to put that firepower behind women-owned companies at the moment it changes the trajectory. This year, the program produced its strongest proof yet. Khadija Head, the giveaway’s first winner, hosted and organized the giveaway at The Sisterhood event and made the final selections.

Jackie joined her family’s Sioux Falls, South Dakota, HVAC business in 2010 and became the first woman to graduate from Southeast Technical Institute’s HVAC/R program. In 2023, the same year Thorson Heating celebrated 80 years in business, she became its third-generation owner.

Jasmine owns Snapmaids, a residential and commercial cleaning company in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Through its partnership with Cleaning for a Reason, her team provides free home cleanings to people undergoing cancer treatment, taking one household chore off their list while they’re in treatment.
Samantha Houchin, The Weather Changers Heating and Air Conditioning

Each winner receives a free Hydra OS website with all new content written for SEO, AEO and GEO, full optimization, and custom components, the same build CI Web Group delivers to paying clients, plus onboarding through the full Hydra journey.
“What Khadija did is the model,” Bagley said. “She did not just win a website. She built with it, and then she turned around and handed the same opportunity to five more women. That is how an industry changes, one company, one market, one leader at a time.”
Each website moves into production once the winner’s signed agreement and completed onboarding prompts are in. Follow their launches here, and if you want to know how AI search sees your company today, run the free AI visibility check at ciwebgroup.com/ai-check.
