FAQs
Common questions from Perth SMB owners.
- Is XLev Perth-based?
- No - XLev is headquartered in Forestville, Sydney. We serve Perth SMBs remote-first, with in-person workshop and training days available when they add value. The time-zone difference (AWST is 2-3 hours behind Eastern time) is rarely a friction; we schedule calls and reviews around Perth business hours.
- Does the time zone make remote-first work harder?
- Not in our experience. Most implementation, automation and custom build work happens asynchronously or in scheduled video calls. We commit to Perth-friendly scheduling for synchronous touchpoints and route most messaging through async-by-default channels (Slack, Microsoft Teams, email).
- Do you visit Perth in person?
- Yes. We travel to Perth for strategy workshops, training days and major review milestones. Travel costs at cost on top of the engagement fee. The longer flight typically means we coordinate 3-5 day on-site weeks rather than single-day visits.
- What's a typical Perth engagement?
- AI strategy workshops AUD $5,000-15,000. Full Claude implementations AUD $25,000-80,000 over 6-10 weeks. Custom builds from AUD $5,000, scaling with scope. Retainers AUD $4,000-15,000/month. Delivered remote-first with selected in-person touchpoints.
- What does an AI consultant actually do?
- A good AI consultant finds where AI saves time or makes money in your business, then installs the tools, workflows and training to capture it - and stays until your team actually uses them. XLev does this for Perth SMBs end to end: Claude rollouts, custom builds, n8n automations, strategy and training. Working systems, not a strategy deck.
- How much does an AI consultant cost in Perth?
- It depends on scope. At XLev, strategy workshops start around $5,000, custom builds and automations from around $5,000, a full Claude rollout is typically $25,000-$80,000, and hourly advisory is $599/hour. Every Perth engagement starts with a free discovery call and a fixed, scoped quote, scheduled around Perth business hours.
- How do we book a first conversation?
- Book a free 30-minute discovery call via the Contact page. The call covers where your business is today, what you want AI to do, and whether XLev is the right partner for a Perth engagement. We schedule the call around Perth business hours.
