What does it cost to work with Heartwood?
AI Employee installations start at $1,500 per month. Lead engagement packages start at $2,500 per month. Websites start at $2,500 as a project, StoryBrand messaging starts at $1,500 one time, funnels and email start at $1,500 project-based, AEO starts at $500 per month, and ongoing content marketing starts at $1,000 per month. On a 30-minute call we tell you which one pays for itself first.
Where do most clients start?
Installing the AI Employee. It takes the calls, follow-ups, and admin off your plate first, which frees up the time and the money to fix the marketing. Then we layer messaging, the website, and weekly marketing on top of it.
How fast can you launch a website?
Most sites launch in 5 to 7 days from kickoff. Bigger builds or anything with custom functionality run 10 to 14 days. AI Employee installs are live in two weeks or less, and some are running in a day.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Heartwood doesn't do six-month or 12-month contracts. Most clients work month to month after the initial install or website project.
Do you do SEO or the AI search thing?
Both, and they are different jobs. SEO competes for a spot in a list of links. AEO, Answer Engine Optimization, competes to be named inside the answer ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews writes. You can rank on page one and never get quoted, so we work on both.
What do you actually send me every week?
A Monday report: what ran, what worked, what's next. Plain English, real next steps, no 30-page PDF nobody reads.
Who do you work with?
Mostly owner-led Texas companies doing $250K to $10M a year: contractors, trades, medical and dental practices, law firms, insurance agencies, and real estate. Heartwood is based in Seguin and most clients are around Seguin, New Braunfels, Cibolo, Schertz, San Marcos, and San Antonio, though we do work outside Texas.
