AI Consulting Services in Horndean: What You Are Buying and How to Compare Providers

Three things the phrase can mean

"AI consulting" is sold in at least three ways. A report that tells you what you could do. A workshop or training day. Or a working system built and left running in your business. The prices and the results are very different, so settle which one you want before comparing anyone.

Where Dean Keating sits

Dean Keating is an AI automation consultant, and one person rather than a consulting company. He is based in Horndean, Hampshire. His service is the third kind: he builds the AI agents, installs them in the tools you already use, trains your team and supports it. It is not a course.

The process is four steps. A free call. An audit of the work worth automating. The build and install. Training and support. He begins with the single task that would make the most difference, and the free call ends with a plan you can use with or without him.

A garage as the test case

This directory lists 18 garages as at 10 October 2026, in the garages category. Think of one. Customers ring, text and message to ask for a price, a slot or an update on the car. The workshop is noisy and the person at the desk is also the person under the bonnet.

A consultant who only writes a report would describe that problem. One who installs would pick a single piece of it, such as replying to new enquiries and booking them into the diary, and put it where the garage already works. That is the question to ask any provider: what exactly will be running, and where, when you leave?

Comparing consulting companies

Without naming or ranking any, these are fair things to ask:

- Who will actually do the work, and will the person you meet be the person who builds it?
- What will I have at the end that I can use if I stop working with you?
- Is the first job small enough to judge within your normal week?
- What does it cost, and when will I be told?

For Dean the last answer is that there is no published price list. The cost is given after the free call, with no obligation.

What his website adds

His website says he is a Shopify 10K Award winner, with more than ten years in marketing, and that more than a million orders have been driven through Meta ads he ran. Those are his own claims and we have not checked them. He also builds websites and does SEO, which is a separate service.

Remote or in person

The build and install are done remotely anywhere in the UK. His website says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby in person, so say so on the first call if you want to meet. He has no rated Google business listing, which is another reason this page is a description, not a recommendation. He publishes the site you are reading, so the sensible move is to speak to him and to at least one other provider.
