In many Seguin businesses the owner does the work, collects payment and answers the phone. We set up an AI assistant that handles calls, WhatsApp, texts and website chat in English or Spanish, books the appointment and has a summary waiting for you when you're done.

Hi! Yes: Thursday 10:30 or 3:00. Which works? 3 o'clock, thanks Done, you're booked. You'll get a reminder the day before.

Yes, especially if you're the one answering the phone. An AI receptionist handles calls, WhatsApp, texts and chat 24 hours a day in English or Spanish, replies with your business details and books on your calendar. In Seguin, where 3 in 10 people speak Spanish at home and the population has grown 39% since 2020, it catches the calls you miss today while you're working. The system - 1 Call, WhatsApp, text or chat - 2 AI answers in the customer's language - 3 Replies with your business information - 4 Appointment booked on your calendar - 5 Summary in the CRM for your team ## What happens to the calls you miss in Seguin? Seguin went from about 29,000 to 41,000 residents in five years. Those are new families who don't yet have a trusted plumber, salon or mechanic, and who call two or three businesses before deciding. If your phone rings while your hands are full, that new customer goes with whoever answered first. Almost 6 out of 10 residents are Hispanic and 3 out of 10 speak Spanish at home. In a family business, sometimes only one person on the team is comfortable in Spanish, and they aren't always free. The customer who sends a WhatsApp in Spanish at nine at night expects an answer that night, not the next day. With about 690 employer firms in the latest city-level count, most Seguin businesses are small and don't have a receptionist. An AI assistant doesn't replace your personal touch: it handles the basics, books appointments and passes you what matters with a summary, so you only return the calls that are worth returning. ## Seguin by the numbers: who you're selling to Seguin grew 39% between 2020 and 2025, to about 41,000 residents, and is one of the most Latino cities on the corridor: almost 6 out of 10 residents are Hispanic and 3 out of 10 speak Spanish at home. It is a market of family-run and service businesses, with about 690 employer firms in the latest city-level count. When I searched for small-business marketing agencies in Seguin, none based locally showed up: the business that gets organized first, with a good profile, a clear site and automatic follow-up, stands out fast. The Seguin Economic Development Corporation publishes resources for small businesses and the UTSA SBDC serves the area. Seguin sits northeast of San Antonio and close to New Braunfels. - 41,048 residents (2025 est.) - 58.5% Hispanic or Latino - 30.1% speak Spanish at home - 687 employer businesses Share of residents who speak Spanish at home, I-35 corridor - San Antonio 36.4 % - Seguin 30.1 % - Kyle 27.3 % - San Marcos 23.3 % - Austin 20.2 % - New Braunfels 17.6 % Source: U.S. Census Bureau.

It's an assistant trained on your business information that answers, books and hands off to a person anything it shouldn't handle alone. - [Answers calls 24/7 Picks up the phone at any hour, in English or Spanish depending on the caller, with a natural tone and your business's style.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/asistente-ai-chat-voz) - [WhatsApp, text and website chat The same assistant replies by text on every channel, using the same information it uses on calls.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/asistente-ai-chat-voz) - [Trained on your business Services, hours, service areas, FAQs and rules: what it can say, what it can't and when to bring in a person.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/ai-agents) - [Appointments straight to your calendar Offers open time slots, books the appointment, confirms by message and sends a reminder before the visit.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/crm-gohighlevel) - [Qualifies every lead Asks what you would ask (service, area, urgency, budget) and saves the answers on the contact record.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/ai-agents) - [Handoff to a person with a summary When someone on your team is needed, it transfers or alerts them and leaves a conversation summary in the CRM so nobody repeats questions.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/crm-gohighlevel) - [Automatic follow-up If the customer doesn't book, the system follows up with reminders and messages in their language.](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/servicios/automatizaciones-ia) ## How we set it up, step by step - 1 ### 15-minute call, free You tell me how calls and messages come in today, what's being lost and what your customers ask. Together we decide whether an AI receptionist makes sense for your business. - 2 ### A fixed, written price I send you which channels get connected, what the assistant does and doesn't do, the delivery date and the price. Call and messaging usage is separate, and I explain how it's calculated. - 3 ### Training and testing with you We load your services, hours, areas, FAQs and rules. Before launch you test it yourself in English and Spanish, by phone and by message, and we adjust anything you don't like. - 4 ### Launch and conversation review During the first weeks we review conversations, correct answers and fine-tune when it hands off to a person. After that we keep improving it based on what your customers ask. ## Voicemail or rule-based chatbot vs. an AI receptionist | | Voicemail or rule-based chatbot | SHAART AI receptionist | | After hours | The customer leaves a message, if they bother | Answers, resolves questions and books at any hour | | Language | One language or a "press 2" menu | Replies in English or Spanish, matching the customer's language | | Questions | Canned answers or none | Answers with your services, hours, areas and rules | | Appointments | Someone has to call back | Books on your calendar and sends a confirmation | | When it doesn't know | The question goes unanswered | Doesn't make things up: says so and hands off with a summary | | Records | Scattered notes or nothing | Every conversation is logged in the CRM with a summary | In our October 2026 review of I-35 corridor providers, the ones offering AI voice agents with pages for San Antonio and Austin publish in English only. ## Real work, with sources Our own projects, published as case studies with every number sourced. Client work appears only with written permission. ### Case: from Ahrefs 55 to 100 and PageSpeed 96 Anthony Hunt's site went from 55 to 100 in the Ahrefs audit (1,771 URLs, 0 errors) and its mobile home page from 55 to 96 in PageSpeed, with 1,990 URLs in its sitemaps and every finding turned into an automatic check so it does not happen again. - 55 → 100 Ahrefs audit - 55 → 96 Mobile PageSpeed, home page [See the case study](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/proyectos/anthonyhunts-seo-y-velocidad) ### Case: booking site and SEO for tourism My Dominican Trip is a bilingual tours and transfers site for travelers from the US, Canada and Europe, built on WordPress with an in-house plugin (Travel Suite) that works as booking engine, payments, CRM and SEO; its sitemaps add up to about 2,700 URLs and, over three months, Search Console recorded 22.5k impressions. - 22,500 Google impressions (3 months) - 104 Google clicks (3 months) [See the case study](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/proyectos/my-dominican-trip-travel-suite) Verified reviews ## What my clients say Real reviews from businesses that trusted the system. ## Industries we focus on in Seguin ### Contractors and home services Fencing, roofing, HVAC, landscaping and cleaning in Seguin, McQueeney and Marion. While you're on a job, the assistant takes the call, asks for the address, the type of work and when works for the customer, and books the estimate visit. If it's a water leak or an AC that quit in the middle of summer, it alerts you right away so you make the call. ### Clinics, salons and barbershops At a Seguin salon or barbershop the phone rings while someone is in the chair. The assistant gives hours and services, books on your calendar, confirms by WhatsApp or text and sends a reminder the day before. At a clinic, questions about symptoms or results always go to your staff; the assistant only guides and books. ## How much does it cost? The AI receptionist has no published price: it depends on the channels, your call volume and what needs to be connected, so I give you a fixed, written price after the 15-minute call. Call and messaging usage is billed separately. These do have published prices: - ### Strategy consultation $ 99 one-time per 1-hour session [See plan →](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/consultoria) - ### WhatsApp Automation $ 79 one-time + $ 15 /month [See plan →](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/digitalizate-basico#addons) - ### Custom AI receptionist Calls, WhatsApp, texts and website chat in English and Spanish, with calendar and CRM: a fixed, written price after the 15-minute call.

We work over video call with businesses in Seguin and Guadalupe County; the assistant is set up online and you test it from your own phone before launch. It works just as well. The assistant answers in the language it's spoken to, so a caller who speaks Spanish gets the answer in Spanish, with your services and hours. You test it yourself in both languages and we adjust the words your customers actually use. Yes. Some businesses start with WhatsApp and add calls later. WhatsApp automation connected to the CRM has a published add-on price: $79 plus $15 a month. The AI assistant is quoted separately, at a fixed, written price after the 15-minute call. They may, and we don't hide it. The assistant speaks with a natural tone and your business's style, but we don't promise it's the same as a person. That's why you test it yourself in English and Spanish before launch, and if someone asks, it tells the truth. It's instructed not to make things up. If the answer isn't in the information you gave it, or the topic involves special pricing, complaints or emergencies, it tells the customer a person will follow up, alerts you and leaves the conversation summary in the CRM. Usually, yes. In the diagnostic we check which number the assistant will work with, the one you use today or a new one, depending on what your phone provider allows. Appointments are booked on the GoHighLevel calendar, which syncs with Google Calendar or Outlook. We confirm the details on the 15-minute call. It's quoted at a fixed, written price after the 15-minute call, because it depends on channels, volume and integrations. Call and messaging usage is billed separately. If you'd like to review your case in depth first, the 1-hour consultation is $99.
