AI Consulting Services for a Small Business in Romsey: How to Compare What You Are Offered
Consulting services and consulting companies can mean very different things. Here is a way to compare quotes, using a vet's practice as the example.
Dean Keating provides AI consulting services for small businesses in Hampshire from Horndean, Hampshire: an audit of the work worth automating, then the build, install and training. He is one consultant, not a company, and the first call is free. Call or WhatsApp 07418 627304.
Two things sold under one name
Some AI consulting is advice: a report, a workshop, a list of ideas. Some is delivery: somebody builds the thing and puts it where you work. Quotes for the two look similar and are not. Before you compare prices, decide which one you are buying.
Dean Keating's service is the second kind. His site calls it done for you, installed for you, not handed over. He is one consultant. This directory does not rank AI consulting companies, and we name none.
The example: a vet's practice
The directory lists veterinary and pet services, with two entries as of 10 October 2026. Picture one of them. The front desk handles appointment requests, repeat prescription questions, reminders and a steady flow of "is my pet's booking confirmed?" messages, all while someone is standing at the counter.
An adviser might write a report recommending a reminders system. A delivery service would build the reminders and the first-reply messages, put them into the tools the practice already uses and show the staff how they work. Same word, different job.
What the service covers
From his website: replying to new enquiries within minutes, day or night; sending updates, confirmations and reminders; answering common questions across email, web and WhatsApp; sorting and routing messages; escalating to a person when needed; and the weekly report. He works in four steps: a free call, an audit, the build and install, then training and support.
Questions to put to any provider
- Who will actually do the work, and will they be the person I speak to?
- Which of my existing tools does it run in?
- What do I keep if we stop?
- What happens when it gets something wrong, and how do I turn it off?
- Where do you start? Dean starts with the single task that makes the most difference, rather than a grand plan.
You leave his free call with a plan you can use with or without him. That is worth asking of anyone else too.
Cost
There is no published price list. The figure depends on what is automated and is given after the free call, with no obligation. Be wary of any provider who quotes before they have seen how you work.
Where he is
Horndean, Hampshire, the same county. Install is remote, with visits possible in Hampshire or nearby according to his website. He publishes this site, which is a reason to compare. Our guide to an AI consultant who installs, not just advises covers the difference in more detail.
