What does HomePro Brand Builder do for service businesses?
HomePro Brand Builder is a contractor-led marketing agency serving New Braunfels and San Antonio, Texas. We provide website design, local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, Google Ads and Meta ads management, content, AI receptionists, website chat, and customer inquiry follow-up. The goal is a connected path from being found to receiving and handling an inquiry.
Do you provide contractor marketing in New Braunfels and San Antonio?
Yes. We provide contractor marketing in New Braunfels and San Antonio for roofing, remodeling, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, restoration, cleaning, landscaping, and other service businesses. We market those businesses; we do not perform their trade services. For ongoing work, confirm availability for your specific industry and city before committing.
What does local SEO include for a service-area business?
Local SEO connects accurate Google Business Profile information with useful website content about your services and the places you actually serve. Work can include categories, services, business details, review practices, photos, mobile usability, page titles, internal links, and service pages. We review the current gaps before recommending a scope. Google determines search and Maps rankings.
Should my business start with local SEO or Google Ads?
Start with the problem. Local SEO supports organic discovery and Google Business Profile visibility; Google Ads pays for exposure to selected searches. If your website or phone response loses inquiries, address that first. If the customer path works and you need additional search traffic, assess ads alongside a longer-term SEO plan. Budget, competition, and service margins guide the decision.
Can you design a website for my New Braunfels or San Antonio business?
Yes. We design mobile-first websites and landing pages for service businesses in New Braunfels and San Antonio. The scope can include clear service descriptions, authentic project photos, contact options, useful local content, and connected lead forms. Website scope and ongoing services are agreed separately from the one-time marketing audit.
What is AEO, and how is it different from SEO?
Answer engine optimization, or AEO, makes information easy to find, understand, and use when someone asks a question in search or an AI assistant. SEO supports discovery and indexing; AEO emphasizes clear questions, direct answers, accurate business facts, and helpful source content. We use readable service explanations and matching structured data. No agency can guarantee AI citations, recommendations, or a number-one ranking.
How much does it cost to start with HomePro Brand Builder?
The online marketing audit costs $99 one time and includes a detailed PDF report, an approximately 20-minute recorded walkthrough, and prioritized recommendations. No sales call is required. The existing 30-day money-back guarantee is governed by the Refund Policy. Website builds, ongoing SEO, ad management, software, and advertising spend have separate scopes and costs.
Can you help with missed calls and slow lead follow-up?
Yes. AI receptionists, website chat, and lead-response workflows can support customer inquiries when configured for your business. We define the information to collect, approved answers, human handoff, and notification destinations around your operation. The setup needs testing against your actual phone, form, and inbox path before anyone claims it is working end to end.
What exactly is in the $99 audit?
You receive a PDF report with the issues found in your Google Business Profile, website, relevant advertising, lead response, and available tracking. Each recommendation explains the problem, why it matters, and what to do next. You also receive an approximately 20-minute recorded video walkthrough and a fix-first priority list.
Is this a generic checklist or a review of my business?
It is a review of your actual business and the customer path people can see. I use your public presence and, if you provide read-only access, relevant private account data. I separate what the evidence supports from what needs further measurement, then rank the recommendations for your situation.
Who makes the recommendations?
Josh Beal leads the audit and the recommendation. I have worked in the trades, own operating businesses, hold IICRC, HAAG, and EPA Lead-Safe credentials, and buy Google and Meta ads for my own companies. The team supports the review; it is not a generic agency account report handed off without owner context.
What does the video show?
I walk through the main findings on screen, explain the evidence in plain English, and show which fixes I would tackle first. The recording is delivered with your report, so you can pause, replay, and share it with the people who will do the work.
Do I have to get on a call?
No. The audit is delivered as a report and a video, with no required sales call or meeting. If you want to talk through the findings afterward, I am happy to meet in person.
Can we meet in person after the audit?
Absolutely. I like to know the people I work with and shake their hand. Once you have your report and video, we can meet to go through the findings and discuss the next steps. Meeting is your choice, not a condition of buying the audit.
Will you change anything in my accounts during the audit?
No. The audit is a review and recommendation. If private data would help, I request read-only access separately. You stay in control of your accounts, and any implementation is a later decision you make after seeing the findings.
Can I use the report without hiring your team?
Yes. The report stands on its own. Do the fixes yourself or share the PDF and video with your staff or current providers. If you would rather have our team implement the work, we can discuss a scope based on the issues actually found.
Will you work with my competitors?
For ongoing marketing work, I take on one business per industry in each city at a time. While we work together, I will not take on a direct local competitor. The one-time audit is available separately and does not reserve a market.
What if I am not running ads yet?
The audit still examines your Google Business Profile, website, lead path, and available tracking. It will tell you whether advertising makes sense yet or whether you should first fix the offer, page, or response process that paid traffic would land in.
Is there a contract or anything recurring?
No. The $99 audit is one time. If you later choose managed marketing, that is a separate decision; ongoing work is offered without a long-term contract or cancellation fee.
What if the audit is not worth it?
The existing 30-day money-back guarantee applies as described in our Refund Policy. My goal is a useful report and clear recommendations you can act on, whether or not you hire us afterward.
Do you build custom software too?
Yes. We build and manage custom apps for contractors and small businesses, including scheduling, crew tracking, customer portals, estimate-to-invoice flows, and AI tools. HomePro Quick Estimator and HomePro Defender began as tools for our own companies and are live today.
How fast do you move?
The review begins after your request and checkout are complete and the information needed is available. The PDF and video are delivered by email. If you later hire us for implementation, we agree on the actual work before starting; I will not promise a date or result without seeing the scope.
What areas do you work with?
Our focus includes Austin, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, New Braunfels, the San Antonio metro and nearby communities such as Canyon Lake, Bulverde, Spring Branch and Seguin. Because the audit is delivered online, contractors and small businesses elsewhere in Texas and the United States can request one.
