What does Global Innovation Group do?+
Global Innovation Group LLC helps small operators learn AI, install production systems, and own the playbook — plus project websites and search visibility when the front door is the leak. Plain-English training, hands-on builds, accounts you control. Informed by operators who run AI in related real estate and capital businesses (separate companies). GIG is not a brokerage or lender.
Who is this for — and who is it not for?+
For: small business owners and teams who want systems installed, trained, and owned — real estate shops, gyms, lenders, clinics, law firms, retail. Not for: buyers who want guaranteed rankings or fake ROI; anyone seeking brokerage or lending from GIG (separate companies); teams that want a permanent black-box vendor with no playbook. If free tools are enough, we say so on the free consult.
How much does it cost?+
We price after we understand the leak — then match a door. Start with a free consult ($0). Optional: AI Audit $1,500 fixed (written Business Operator Review) — credits in full to first month if you start a plan within 30 days, so it functions as a deposit. Monthly fractional AI partner floors: Foundation from $800/mo (flagship workflow + keep-up + install), Growth from $1,500/mo (2–3 workflows), Fractional AI Ops from $3,000/mo (program depth). Websites from $4,500 / $9,500 / $15,000. Visibility from $1,500 / $4,500 / $1,500/mo. Floors are starting points; SOW is final. If free tools are enough, we say so.
Why do I need a fractional AI partner instead of just ChatGPT?+
Because the industry moves every week — models, agents, pricing, and what actually works in production. A free seat does not filter noise, map your leak, install a workflow in your CRM, train your team, or own the playbook with you. A fractional partner is someone who already keeps up with where AI has been and where it is headed, then applies it to your business month-to-month. Foundation starts from $800/mo M2M — less than a confused hire, and you can leave anytime.
How do I start?+
Book a free AI consult. You leave understanding why it matters to know someone who keeps up with AI, whether a fractional partner is worth it for you, and one clear next step — free tools, Audit, or monthly install. No pitch theater. If we are not the right fit, we say so.
What is the AI Audit?+
The AI Audit is a fixed $1,500 diagnostic of your business — the deeper look after a free consult. We walk your workflows and map where the hours and dollars are leaking, then deliver a written Business Operator Review: ranked automations, tool recommendations that fit your budget, and an honest verdict — including “not yet” when AI does not pay off. It is not a business appraisal and not real estate brokerage. If you continue to a monthly plan within 30 days of delivery, the audit fee credits in full toward your first month.
Is there a minimum commitment?+
No. Monthly plans are month-to-month — stay because it's working, not because a contract says you have to. Workshops and the AI Audit are one-off fixed fees. We keep it this way on purpose: a small business should never be locked into an AI spend that isn't earning its keep.
Do I need to buy hardware or expensive software?+
Almost certainly not. Most small businesses get real results from affordable subscription tools — Claude, ChatGPT, and off-the-shelf automation platforms — set up properly and wired into their workflow. That's tens of dollars a month, not thousands. Private setups on equipment you own exist for genuinely sensitive data — patient records, client files, loan documents — and we size those realistically for a small business.
Why do you say open-source and local AI is the future?+
Because the AI wars are commoditizing the models. OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Meta are spending billions leapfrogging each other, prices keep falling, and open-source models like Llama and Mistral now trail the frontier by months, not years. The durable advantage is shifting from access to application — and increasingly to ownership. A local, open-source model running on a machine you own means your data never leaves the building, no subscription meter, and no vendor that can reprice or cut you off. We set clients on that path at whatever pace fits: rent the frontier where it helps, own your own model where it counts.
What happens to the AI tools I already use?+
We work with what already earns its place. If a tool you pay for is doing its job, it stays — we'll set it up better and wire it into the rest. We're vendor-agnostic and take no reseller kickbacks, so every recommendation is made on fit and price, not commission.
Is Global Innovation Group a real estate brokerage or a lender?+
No. Global Innovation Group LLC is a separate company that installs AI systems and digital brand infrastructure for small operators. It is not Williams Capital Advisors (CRE brokerage), Capital Direct Funding (private lending), or Direct Servicing Initiative (loan servicing). Hiring GIG does not engage brokerage representation, mortgage origination, or private lending. Founder Francisco Williams also operates related real estate and capital businesses; those are proof of operator experience, not GIG product lines.
Who actually does the work?+
A small core team. Francisco Williams leads training and strategy — a CCIM-credentialed commercial real estate broker who also runs AI inside related brokerage, lending, and servicing businesses (separate companies). Cindy Adlawan, Executive Director, leads delivery: intake, build, and training on every GIG engagement. Kristle Alcuizar leads marketing and brand. When you hire GIG, you contract with Global Innovation Group LLC for AI and digital work — not for listing or lending services.
What kinds of things can you actually set up?+
Working tools, not decks: follow-up and outreach that run themselves, customer and client intake that routes itself, documents extracted instead of retyped, CRMs cleaned and kept clean, visit notes and billing narratives drafted for review, support questions answered around the clock, content drafted in your voice, production websites with design systems, conversion paths, and compliance-aware forms, and search/AI visibility systems (SEO, AEO, GEO, voice) so the front door is discoverable. Every build comes with training and a playbook so your team can run it.
Do you build websites and digital brand systems?+
Yes. Global Innovation Group LLC designs and ships project-based websites and digital brand systems for small operators — design systems first, then production sites with one clear conversion job, mobile and performance ship passes, and accounts you own. See live work at globalingroup.com/work (related operating companies are labeled separately from external clients). Websites are quoted separately from the monthly AI tiers; many clients combine both so leads from the site flow into AI follow-up and intake.
Do you offer SEO and AI search visibility (AEO / GEO)?+
Yes. Global Innovation Group LLC installs search and AI visibility systems for small operators — classic SEO, answer-engine optimization (AEO), generative-engine optimization (GEO) for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, plus voice readiness (VEO). The method is six gates first (discover, fetch, render, index, understand, extract), then content and authority — not GEO gimmicks or guaranteed rankings. Packages: Visibility Audit from $1,500, Search Foundations from $4,500, Visibility Ops from $1,500/month. Details at globalingroup.com/services/traffic.
Who owns the tools and the data?+
You do, always. Everything we set up lives in accounts you own, and every build comes with a playbook your team keeps. For sensitive data — patient records, client files, loan documents — we can set up private AI that runs in your own environment, so the data never leaves your hands. No lock-in is a design goal, not a slogan.
Why learn AI from a real estate expert?+
Because he's an operator, not a theorist. Francisco Williams is a CCIM-credentialed commercial real estate broker, Executive Vice President of Williams Capital Advisors, powered by KW Commercial Beverly Hills, and an NMLS-licensed mortgage loan originator (California DRE #01979442, NMLS #1858674). He put AI to work inside related brokerage, private lending, and loan servicing businesses first — separate companies from GIG — under the same tools, budgets, and constraints a small business faces. What GIG teaches is what actually worked. GIG itself sells AI and digital systems, not brokerage or loans.
Where is Global Innovation Group based?+
Global Innovation Group LLC is based in Southern California, with a mission rooted in helping the local small business community into the AI era. We work with small businesses across the United States — remotely, with in-person workshops and sessions in the Southern California area.
Do you specialize in real estate?+
Real estate operators are home turf for the founders' experience — Francisco runs AI inside related brokerage and capital businesses — so GIG is especially strong for brokerages, small teams, and independent investors who want systems, not representation. GIG does not list, sell, or finance property. The same practical playbook serves five more small-business verticals: gyms and fitness, lending and finance shops, healthcare and clinics, legal and professional services, and e-commerce and retail.
