Blog questions, answered.

How often do you publish new guides?
We publish new guides on a rolling basis as pricing, vendor behavior, and industry data shift. Guides are dated, and we update them when the underlying numbers change.
Do these guides cite real numbers?
Yes. Every figure in these guides is sourced, industry reports, published vendor pricing, and public data, not invented numbers. Where a number is directional rather than confirmed, we say so.
Do you publish your prices?
Not on this blog. Our model is a setup fee, then pay per qualified appointment, quoted on a call once we know your industry and criteria. Only the real estate cold calling VA plans have published monthly prices.
Who writes these?
VA Horizon's team writes these guides using primary research into vendor pricing, industry benchmarks, and our own campaign data, not AI-generated filler.
