FAQs
Do we need a full rebrand or just a brand refresh?
Refresh when your story still fits, rebrand when name, positioning, or audience has fundamentally changed.
- Refresh fits when visuals feel dated, messaging needs clarity, or you are adding services without changing who you are.
- Rebrand fits if the market moved, the name confuses customers, you merged or expanded, or the promise no longer matches the experience.
- Tradeoffs: refreshes are faster and preserve equity, rebrands reset perception and create a clean platform for growth.
- We start with a short brand audit questionnaire and a 30–45 minute call to recommend the right path.
What should a small-business brand style guide or brand kit include so my team can stay consistent?
A practical toolkit your team can use on day one.
- Identity essentials: logo suite (full, horizontal, icon), clear space rules, misuse examples, delivered as SVG/PNG/PDF.
- Color and type: primary and secondary palettes with HEX/RGB/CMYK, typefaces with a readable type scale for headings, body, buttons, and forms.
- Voice and messaging: value props, tone do’s and don’ts, and 3–5 example headlines you can reuse.
- Templates: a few high-leverage items such as social post, proposal or one-pager, and a presentation cover.
- You receive a single source-of-truth brand guide PDF plus a tidy asset folder so files are easy to find.
How much does branding cost, and what is included?
Most small-business branding projects land between $3,000 and $15,000, with comprehensive strategy plus identity systems starting around $12,000+. We have packages for every budget and can phase work so the brand scales with you.
- Typical inclusions: positioning and messaging, logo suite, color and typography, brand guidelines, social and document templates.
- Add-ons: naming, photography direction, iconography, website starter kit, packaging, or sales materials.
What is the difference between brand strategy and visual identity, and do we need both?
Strategy defines what you say and to whom, identity is how it looks and feels.
- Brand strategy: positioning, value props, voice and tone, proof points that guide all copy.
- Visual identity: logo system, color, typography, layout rules, imagery direction that make you recognizable.
- Most growing teams benefit from both so websites, ads, and sales materials stay consistent.
- We confirm scope, the decision-maker, and feedback milestones at kickoff so timing stays predictable.
How do we measure if a rebrand or brand refresh actually worked?
Track brand awareness, clarity, and conversion before and after, then adjust what moves the needle.
- Visibility: watch branded search impressions and clicks in Google Search Console (GSC) over 30–90 days.
- Engagement: compare direct and organic traffic quality in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), time on page and bounce on brand pages.
- Conversion: measure contact form submissions or booked calls from your homepage and top service pages, compare pre and post.
- Ads and social: look for higher ad click-through rate (CTR) and more saves or comments on brand-led posts.
- We set a simple pre-launch baseline, then review at 30/60/90 days to confirm lift and prioritize next actions.
How long does a branding project take from kickoff to delivery?
Many projects complete in 3–6 weeks, larger multi-channel systems take 6–10+ weeks.
- Timing depends on decision speed, rounds of review, and whether it is strategy only or strategy plus identity.
- We keep momentum with clear milestones and quick check-ins that fit San Antonio service-business schedules.
- Timeline ranges and key milestones are documented at kickoff.
What do you need from us to start the branding process?
A little direction goes a long way.
- Background: goals, audiences, competitors, and any past brand or market research.
- Assets: existing logos, fonts, colors, imagery, and examples you like or dislike.
- Proof: testimonials, case stats, or before-and-after examples we can weave into messaging.
How do I choose a brand name that is memorable and available, and how do I check it?
- Shortlist names that are easy to say, spell, and remember, then do a “radio test” out loud.
- Check the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database for obvious conflicts using TESS (quick “knockout” search). Not legal advice, just an early screen (USPTO TESS).
- Verify domain and key social handles, prefer simple, consistent handles across platforms.
- If a name passes early checks, ask an attorney for clearance before investing in design.
