Marketing Automation
Find out in a week. Free, no obligation.
Your customers are asking ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google's AI for recommendations before they ever open a search page. Most local businesses have no idea what those answers say about them — or whether they come up at all.
The Free Audit
We ask the major AI assistants the questions your customers actually ask. "Best HVAC company near Sanford." "Who does commercial landscaping in Chatham County." "Reliable auto repair Pittsboro." Then we document what they say.
You get a short written report covering:
No pitch deck, no jargon. A clear picture of where you stand and what to do about it. Most audits take about a week. If we find you're already in good shape, we'll tell you that.

Seasoned AI
I deliver results. Plain language. Fast timelines. Built on 20 years of real-world experience.
I've been designing products and solving business problems for 20 years at companies like Lenovo, Fujifilm, and Duke University. I've lived through the hype cycles. I know what works and what's just noise.
Who I Am
I'm Paul Hilburger, founder of Seasoned AI. I spent two decades as a UX Designer and Design Manager at companies like Pentair, Lenovo, Fujifilm, Mann+Hummel, and Duke University.
I've designed enterprise software, shipped products used by millions, and hold 8 U.S. patents for UX innovations.
I'm not a "tech bro" who learned about AI last year. I've been solving design and automation problems since before these tools existed.
Now I'm using AI to help local businesses—plumbers, salons, chiropractors, restaurants and more—automate their marketing and get more customers. I speak your language. I understand your trade-offs. And I'm not here to sell you hype.

What I Do
Practical work that moves the businesses most likely to recommend you.
Search is changing faster than most businesses have noticed. Being on page one of Google matters less every quarter; being the business an AI names in its answer matters more. The work involves structuring your site so AI systems can actually read it, making your business information consistent everywhere it appears online, and building the kind of content that gets cited rather than skipped.
Reviews are no longer just social proof for humans — AI systems weigh them heavily when deciding which businesses to recommend. We set up a simple, repeatable process for asking satisfied customers at the right moment, monitor what comes in, and help you respond in a way that reads as professional rather than defensive. Steady and real beats a burst of reviews that looks bought.
Most small business websites were built for a web that no longer exists — slow, hard to read on a phone, and structured in ways that make them invisible to AI. We build sites that load fast, look current, and are organized so both people and machines can find what they need. Twenty-five years of design experience, not a template with your logo dropped in.
Once the foundation is solid, there's usually something specific eating your week. A scheduling process that runs on phone tag. A form that someone retypes into a spreadsheet. Calls going to voicemail after hours and turning into lost work. We build custom applications and AI phone answering that handle those things — the kind of software that used to cost fifty thousand dollars and six months.
How It Works
From first call to live results—no 6-month timelines.
15 Minutes
We talk about your business, your customers, and what's not working in your current marketing.
5-7 Days
I design and deliver your website or set up your marketing automation. No endless revisions.
Ongoing
Once your site is live, I run ads and create content to send qualified customers to your booking page.
Monthly
I track what's working, report monthly, and adjust campaigns to maximize your return.
Who This Is For
You're too busy serving customers to manage your marketing. You need someone who can handle it—without adding another thing to your plate or another meeting to your calendar.
You don't want to learn another platform, and honestly, the whole AI thing feels overwhelming. You don't need to understand it. You just need someone who does—and who won't make you feel behind for not keeping up.
You're a millennial or Gen X business owner who feels like technology went from manageable to unrecognizable in about six years. You're not opposed to new tools—you just want someone who translates instead of lectures.
Why Us
Twenty-five years designing software for Fortune 500 companies — healthcare, legal, and consumer products used by millions of people. Eight U.S. patents. Now applying that to businesses in our own community.
We recently built a benefits navigation application for a North Carolina nonprofit — a real, working product serving real people, built in weeks rather than months. That's the approach: enterprise-grade thinking, small-business timelines and budgets.
Based in Pittsboro. We work with businesses across the Triangle and central North Carolina.
