01 / WHAT WE DO

Good automation starts
with the right questions.

Before adding another tool, let’s understand the work.
A focused audit helps you choose your next move.

01START HERE

Automation Opportunity Audit

Get a clear view of where automation could help your business—and where it wouldn’t.

  • A review of your everyday processes
  • A written report and ranked opportunity roadmap
  • A 30-minute walkthrough of your next steps
A practical plan before a technical commitment.
02THEN BUILD

Automation implementation

Turn the right opportunities into connected workflows that fit the way your business operates.

  • Builds scoped from your audit findings
  • A fixed project price, quoted in writing
  • Optional ongoing builds and maintenance
You decide what to build and when.

02 / THE EVERYDAY OPPORTUNITIES

Small tasks.
Real room for improvement.

Examples of workflows we can explore in an audit.

01

Keep leads moving

THE FRICTION

An inquiry arrives. Someone copies it into a spreadsheet, then remembers to follow up.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Capture the inquiry, organize the details, and prompt the right next action.

02

Make handoffs easier

THE FRICTION

Customer details live in different tools. Your team re-enters the same information.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Connect the tools you use so approved information moves with the work.

03

Get time back from admin

THE FRICTION

Routine updates, reminders, and reports keep pulling you away from customers.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Automate repeatable steps, with human review where judgment matters.

Illustrative opportunities. Your roadmap is based on your processes, tools, and priorities.

03 / OUR APPROACH

Understand first.
Automate second.

Herald is a new agency built around a simple idea: small business owners deserve a clear, honest path to automation.

No inflated promises. No technology for its own sake. Just a practical conversation about what could work for your business.

    Choose what to implement. We agree on the scope and price before work begins.

04 / A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Let’s make it clear.

Do I need to know anything about AI?

No. Start with the tasks you do every day. We’ll explain the options in plain language and help you understand what is—and isn’t—a good fit for automation.

Do I have to commit to a build after the audit?

No. The audit gives you a written report and ranked roadmap. Implementation is a separate decision, with a written quote for the work you choose.

Will everything use AI?

Not necessarily. Some problems are better solved with a straightforward integration or a clearer process. The goal is a useful improvement, not AI for its own sake.

What does the audit involve?

We review your processes, identify promising opportunities, and deliver a written report and ranked roadmap. A 30-minute walkthrough helps you understand the recommendations and next steps.
