Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of businesses can benefit from automation?
Almost every business. From local service providers to online stores, agencies, and professional services—automation helps save time, reduce errors, and increase revenue. If you run a business with repetitive processes, we can automate them.
Do you create custom automations?
Yes. Every business is different, which is why we offer fully custom automations built around your exact needs. Whether it’s a small task or a complete workflow system, we’ll design and implement a solution tailored specifically to your business.
How long does setup take?
Smaller projects can be completed in just a few days, while more complex systems may take a few weeks. During our free consultation, we’ll give you a clear timeline based on your needs.
How much does automation cost?
It depends on complexity, but our Quick Win automations start at $297 setup + $97/month. Business Efficiency systems range from $597-1,497 setup + $247-797/month. Custom solutions are priced based on scope. Most clients save more in the first month than they invest in setup.
Why do you charge a monthly retainer?
Automation systems need ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and optimization as your business grows. The monthly retainer covers system monitoring, bug fixes, small modifications, performance optimization, and support. Think of it as insurance that your systems always work perfectly.
What's included in the monthly retainer?
24/7 system monitoring and alerts
Bug fixes and troubleshooting
Small modifications and tweaks
Performance optimization
Monthly reporting on time/money saved
Email and phone support
Updates when platforms change their features
Are there any hidden fees? No hidden fees ever. The only additional costs would be if you request major system changes that go beyond the original scope (we'll always get approval first) or if you need extensive training for your team (included training covers basic usage and monitoring).
What if I'm already using some automation tools?
Perfect! We'll audit what you have, optimize what's working, and fill in the gaps. No need to start over.
What if my business grows and needs more complex automation? That's the best problem to have! We'll assess your new needs and can either modify existing systems (often covered under your retainer) or propose additional automation projects. Growing businesses typically see even better ROI as their automation needs become more sophisticated.
Do you offer payment plans? Yes! We offer 3-month payment plans for setup fees over $1,000. For example, a $1,200 setup fee can be split into 3 payments of $400. Monthly retainer fees are always billed monthly.
What's the ROI timeline? Most clients see positive ROI within 30-60 days. When you factor in recovered revenue from better follow-up and fewer missed opportunities, many clients report the system "pays for itself" in the first month. We track these metrics and provide monthly reports showing your actual savings.
Is it worth it for a small business? Absolutely. Small businesses often see the biggest impact because they're doing so many manual tasks. Even saving 5 hours per week at $50/hour value equals $1,300/month in time savings. Our smallest automation packages typically save 8-15 hours weekly.
What if something breaks?
That's what the monthly retainer covers - monitoring, maintenance, and quick fixes. Plus, we build redundancies so your business keeps running even if one piece needs attention.
Will you train me or my team on how to use it?
Yes. Every package includes training and documentation so you and your team feel confident using your new systems.
Can you work with my existing software?
Almost certainly yes. We've integrated hundreds of different platforms. If you use it for business, we can probably automate it.
What if my processes change?
Your monthly retainer includes small modifications and optimizations. Larger changes are handled as additional projects.
Do I need to learn how to manage these systems?
No technical knowledge required. We'll show you how to monitor results and make simple changes, but we handle all the complex stuff.
