01 / Working with Austin businesses

Remote senior-operator model — what it actually means for your Austin business.

Horsiq is based in Tampa Bay. We work with Austin businesses entirely remotely — and that is by design, not a limitation. Every service we offer is built digitally: AI agents run on your cloud accounts, ad campaigns live in your Meta and Google accounts, websites deploy to your hosting, CRM systems sit on your database. There is no physical deliverable that requires a local office and a local office's overhead baked into your invoice.

What remote means operationally: you work directly with founder Alex Trojan — same person on the audit call, the build, and the handover. No account manager layer, no senior-on-the-call pattern where a junior team inherits the project after signatures. For Austin founders who have run that pattern before and watched execution drift from what was promised, the difference is structural, not a claim on a website.

Pricing is fixed before the work begins. The number is agreed at the end of the scoping call — not after discovery, not after a proposal round, not as a surprise on the first invoice. And when the build ships, everything runs on your accounts. No ongoing Horsiq license required for the system to keep working.

02 / Built for Austin's economy

Why Austin businesses are a natural fit for the stack we build.

Austin is one of the fastest-growing large cities in the United States, and its economy runs on the kinds of operations where AI automation and performance advertising have the clearest payback. The tech corridor along US-183 and the Domainhouses a dense cluster of SaaS companies, startups, and the Austin campuses of major tech employers — an environment where founders are already accustomed to buying tools and services that ship fast and don't require babysitting. They recognize a well-built automation when they see one.

Beyond tech, Austin runs on short-term rentals and hospitality at a scale few cities outside of Nashville and New Orleans can match. South Congress, the Rainey Street corridor, and the East Austin entertainment district generate year-round inquiry volume with hard peaks around SXSW, Austin City Limits, and Formula One at the Circuit of the Americas. A booking agent that captures inquiries at midnight during a festival week — and books them before a competitor wakes up — is not a novelty in that market; it is table stakes.

The real estate market in Austin and the surrounding suburbs — Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, and the rapidly expanding corridor toward Kyle and Buda — has been one of the most active in the country through multiple rate cycles. The agents and brokerages working that market deal with high inquiry volume, speed-to-lead pressure, and CRM management that overwhelms teams built for slower markets. That is exactly the condition where lead routing and follow-up automation earns its keep.

Home services and trades in the Austin metro are in a structural growth phase driven by residential construction. Roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and landscaping companies are adding territory faster than they can add front-desk headcount — and the company that calls the lead back first still wins the job, regardless of who has the best crew. Healthcare practices — med spas, dental groups, specialist clinics — compete in a well-educated, price-aware market where intake speed and follow-up professionalism are visible signals of quality before a patient ever walks in.

The throughline across Austin's economy is the same: high-volume service operations where inquiries arrive around the clock, follow-up speed is the competitive edge, and back-office work quietly consumes the team's week. Those are the conditions where a well-trained AI agent earns its keep fastest — not as a chatbot stapled to a homepage, but as an intake system running the routine work so the team can focus on the jobs only humans should do.

03 / What we build

Services for Austin small and mid-size businesses.

  • 01

    AI agents & automation

    Custom agents trained on your Austin operation — booking, lead follow-up, intake qualification, weekly reporting, back-office data work. Built on your infrastructure with a real training period before any code ships, so the agent understands how your specific business actually runs, not a generic version of your industry.

  • 02

    Facebook & Meta ads

    Campaign strategy, creative, targeting, and ongoing management for Austin service businesses — geo-targeted to the neighborhood or ZIP, with creative written for the Austin buyer, not a national template. You own the ad account; we manage the campaigns inside it.

  • 03

    Web development

    Marketing sites and landing pages built for conversion and search — fast, clean, with structured data, honest copy, and a clear path to action. Deployed on your domain and hosting; no proprietary CMS lock-in; you own the codebase.

  • 04

    Custom CRM & ERP

    Configuration and automation of existing CRM tools, or lightweight custom systems built on your own database for operations that off-the-shelf tools can't handle cleanly. Fixed-price project; you own the codebase and the data.

05 / Process

How an Austin project moves from scope to live.

  1. Step 01

    Audit call

    30 minutes. We find the highest-leverage place to start — the routine work bleeding the most hours or the ad channel with the clearest gap. If automation or paid ads won't pay back for your Austin business yet, we say so. We would rather tell you that than sell you a build that doesn't earn.

  2. Step 02

    Scope & price

    Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed before work begins. For automation builds: a 2–4 week training period follows — capturing how your Austin operation actually works before any code ships. For ads and web builds, we move directly to production.

  3. Step 03

    Build

    Everything built on your accounts, your API keys, your infrastructure. For automation: agents trained on your real context, not a generic template. For ads: creative and targeting built for your specific Austin market and buyer. For web: fast, conversion-focused, on your domain.

  4. Step 04

    Handover

    Live with recorded walkthroughs, documentation, and a 30-day support window while the build settles into real usage. You own everything from day one — the handover is a formality, not a transfer of control.

06 / FAQ
Does Horsiq work with Austin businesses even though you're based in Tampa?
Yes. We operate remote-first by design, not by accident. Every deliverable is built digitally — AI agents run on your cloud accounts, ad campaigns live in your Meta and Google accounts, websites deploy to your hosting. Founder Alex Trojan is on every project regardless of geography. Austin clients get the same senior operator and fixed-price model as our Florida clients, no local-office tax baked in.
How much does an AI automation project cost for an Austin business?
Every engagement is fixed-price, scoped before any work begins. Single-workflow automation builds typically run in the low thousands; multi-system builds combining CRM integration, ad management, and automation together sit higher. Those are typical market ranges — your number comes out of a 30-minute audit call where we scope exactly what you need and what it costs. No open retainers, no surprise overages.
Who actually works on my project — or does it get handed off after the sales call?
Founder Alex Trojan works on every build. There is no account manager layer, no offshore delegation, no senior-on-the-sales-call pattern. You get one senior operator who scopes the work, builds it, and ships it. For Austin businesses that have cycled through agencies and received that bait-and-switch pattern, this is a structural difference, not a marketing claim.
What does 'you own everything' actually mean?
Every agent, workflow, website, and ad account we build lives on your accounts and your infrastructure from day one. If you stop working with us tomorrow, everything keeps running — no platform lock-in, no proprietary dashboard, no ongoing license paid to Horsiq for the system to stay on. We build on your API keys, your hosting, your tools. You own it outright.
Can you run Facebook and Google ads for Austin businesses remotely?
Yes. Ad management is entirely remote work — we access your ad accounts directly, build the campaigns, write the copy, set up the targeting, and manage the spend. For Austin's hyperlocal market — a South Congress restaurant, an East Austin med spa, a Round Rock home-services company — we geo-target down to the neighborhood or ZIP code without any local-office overhead.
What kinds of Austin businesses do you typically work with?
Technology companies, healthcare practices, hospitality and restaurant groups, short-term rental and real estate operations, home-services and trades businesses, and professional services firms. Austin's economy blends a mature tech sector, a booming tourism and live-events market, and a real estate scene that has not stopped growing — the industries where AI automation and performance ads earn their keep fastest.
How long does it take to get an AI agent or automation live?
Most single-workflow automation builds ship within four to eight weeks from the audit call. That window includes a 2–4 week training period where we capture how your operation actually works — the rules, the edge cases, the judgment calls — before any code ships. The training period is not optional; it is why the automation works in production instead of breaking after the pilot.
Do you build custom CRM and ERP systems, or only configure off-the-shelf tools?
Both, depending on what the business needs. For most Austin SMBs, we configure and automate an existing CRM like HubSpot or GoHighLevel — faster and cheaper than custom. For operations with workflows that off-the-shelf tools can't handle cleanly — a clinic with a specific intake process, a contractor with multi-stage job tracking — we build a lightweight custom system on your own database. You own that too.
