AI Automation
Done-for-you AI automations for small businesses: lead follow-up, customer replies, and internal workflows that run themselves, built around your business and taught to you.
Read the full AI Automation page →What is AI automation for a small business?
AI automation means software handles the repetitive work your team does by hand: replying to new leads, answering common customer questions, moving data between the tools you already use, and sending follow-ups. GenesisFlō builds those workflows around how your business actually runs, tests them on your real scenarios, then teaches you to operate and change them yourself. You keep every decision; the system does the busywork around the clock without adding headcount.
What can GenesisFlō actually automate for me?
The most common builds are instant lead follow-up (a new inquiry gets a smart reply in seconds), appointment and quote workflows, review requests, and back-office data entry between the tools you already use. We map your business first, then automate the steps with the fastest payback.
How much does AI automation cost?
Most small-business automation projects land between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars depending on scope, far less than the cost of the hours they save every month. You get a fixed quote after a free discovery call, so there are no surprise fees.
How long does it take to set up?
Simple automations, like AI-powered contact-form follow-up, can go live in under a week. Larger multi-step workflows typically take two to four weeks including testing on your real scenarios and training you to run the system yourself.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
No. We build everything around the tools you already use, explain it in plain language, and then teach you and your team to run and update the system yourselves. No black boxes, and no dependency on us to keep it working.
Does GenesisFlō work with businesses near Minneapolis–St. Paul?
Yes. GenesisFlō is based in the Twin Cities and works with Minnesota small businesses in person or remotely, and with clients across the United States. Local example: Ship Minnesota in Monticello launched with an AI-automated contact flow we built in seven days.
Website Design
Custom, AI-powered websites for small businesses, designed, written, and launched fast, with automation built in so every visitor gets a response.
Read the full Website Design page →What is an AI-powered small-business website?
It is a custom-built site that also works your leads: every form submission triggers an AI automation that answers the customer in seconds and notifies you, and the page structure is built so Google and AI assistants can read, quote, and recommend the business. GenesisFlō designs the site, writes every line of copy, builds it, and launches it, typically in one to three weeks, then hands over the keys and teaches you to update it yourself.
How much does a small-business website cost?
A custom-designed small-business site from GenesisFlō typically runs from the low four figures depending on page count and automation needs. You get a fixed quote up front after a free discovery call, and the price includes design, copywriting, build, and launch.
How fast can my website launch?
Most sites launch in one to three weeks. Our fastest build, a complete 4-page site with AI-automated lead follow-up for Ship Minnesota, went live in seven days, before the store’s grand opening.
What makes an “AI-powered” website different?
Beyond design, the site works your leads: forms reply to customers instantly with AI, notify you, and route information where it needs to go. The site is also structured so search engines and AI assistants can read, index, and recommend your business.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
Yes. Every site ships with an editing dashboard and a hand-off session where we teach you to change text, images, and pages yourself. You own the site, the domain, and the content outright.
Do you build websites for businesses in the Twin Cities?
Yes. GenesisFlō is based in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area and builds websites for Minnesota small businesses as well as clients across the United States. Everything can be done remotely, from kickoff to launch.
AI Ads & Video
AI-produced commercial ads and video content for small businesses: scroll-stopping video ads, product spots, and social content at a fraction of traditional production cost.
Read the full AI Ads & Video page →What is an AI-generated video ad, and what does it cost?
An AI-generated ad uses AI for the expensive parts of production, the visuals, voiceover, editing, and captions, while a human directs, scripts, and edits the spot. That puts a finished commercial in the hundreds to low thousands of dollars instead of the $10,000 to $50,000 a traditional shoot costs, and it turns revisions from weeks into hours. GenesisFlō delivers every ad platform-ready in vertical, square, and landscape, with alternate hooks so you can test instead of guess.
What are AI-generated ads?
AI-generated ads use artificial intelligence for the expensive parts of production: visuals, voiceover, editing, and captions. You get a polished commercial without a film crew, studio, or five-figure budget, and revisions take hours instead of weeks.
How much do AI video ads cost?
Typically a small fraction of traditional production, most projects land in the hundreds to low thousands depending on length and format, versus $10k–$50k for a traditional commercial shoot. You get a fixed quote before work starts.
Will the ad actually look professional?
Yes. Modern AI video tools produce broadcast-quality visuals and voiceover, and every ad is directed, scripted, and edited by a human. You approve the concept and script before production, and revisions are included.
What platforms are the ads made for?
Everything is delivered platform-ready: vertical with captions for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts; square and landscape for Facebook, Instagram feed, and YouTube. You get every format from one production.
How fast can I get my ad?
Most ads are delivered within one to two weeks of approving the script, and simple social cuts can be faster. Traditional production timelines of two to three months become days.
AI Consulting
Practical AI consulting for small businesses: an honest audit of where AI saves you time and money, a clear roadmap, and hands-on help implementing it.
Read the full AI Consulting page →What does an AI consultant do for a small business?
An AI consultant looks at how your business actually operates, identifies the tasks AI can do faster or cheaper, and hands you a prioritized plan with real costs and expected payback. GenesisFlō sells no software and takes no vendor commissions, so the recommendations are neutral, including the times the right answer is a $20-a-month off-the-shelf tool. Every engagement ends with something you can act on immediately, and we can build the systems on the roadmap ourselves so the plan does not die in a PDF.
Is AI worth it for a small business?
Usually yes, but not everywhere. Lead follow-up, customer questions, content, and data entry typically pay back quickly; some things aren’t worth automating at all. An audit tells you which is which before you spend money.
How much does AI consulting cost?
GenesisFlō sessions start at $150 for a 90-minute strategy session, and a full opportunity audit starts at $750. Ongoing advisory runs from $500 per month. Every engagement has a fixed price agreed up front.
Do you only recommend tools you sell?
No. GenesisFlō is tool-agnostic and takes no commissions. Recommendations are based on your workflows, budget, and team, and we’ll happily tell you when the right answer is a $20/month off-the-shelf tool.
Can you implement the recommendations too?
Yes. Unlike advice-only firms, we build automations, websites, and AI systems ourselves, so the roadmap can go straight into production with the same team that wrote it.
Claude for Small Businesses
Done-for-you Claude AI setup for small businesses: workspace configuration, custom workflows, team training, and integrations, so your team actually uses AI safely and well.
Read the full Claude for Small Businesses page →What does it take to set Claude up for a small business team?
A Claude subscription on its own gives your team an empty chat box. A working rollout means the workspace, permissions, and projects are organised around how the business runs, Claude is loaded with your brand voice, policies, and documents, it is connected to the tools you already use, and your staff are trained on prompts for their real tasks with a simple policy covering what data is safe to share. GenesisFlō does that setup end to end, typically in one to two weeks.
What is Claude and why should my business use it?
Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. Businesses use it to draft emails and proposals, summarize documents, answer questions from company files, and automate writing-heavy work. It’s known for accuracy, handling long documents, and strong privacy controls, which is why it fits business use well.
Is my business data safe with Claude?
Anthropic does not train its models on business customers’ data by default, and Claude offers enterprise-grade controls. As part of setup we configure privacy settings and write a simple usage policy so your team knows exactly what’s safe to share.
What does Claude cost for a small team?
Claude’s business plans are priced per user per month, comparable to other workplace software. Our one-time setup and training fee comes on top, quoted flat after a discovery call, and most teams find the time saved in the first month covers it.
How is this different from just buying ChatGPT or Claude subscriptions?
A subscription gives your team an empty chat box. We deliver a configured system: your brand voice and documents loaded, integrations connected, ready-made workflows for your actual tasks, and training so the tool gets used every day instead of forgotten in a week.
How long does a Claude rollout take?
A typical small-team rollout takes one to two weeks: workspace setup and configuration in the first few days, then integrations, workflow playbooks, and a training session. Your team is productive with Claude from the first week.
Do you offer Claude training near Minneapolis?
Yes. GenesisFlō is based in the Twin Cities and runs on-site training for Minnesota businesses, plus remote rollouts for teams anywhere in the United States.
