Why it stalls

Plenty of owners have tried an AI tool, enjoyed it for a week and drifted back to the old routine. The tool was fine. Nobody had worked out where it fitted, or who would keep it running.

Practical help is about that gap, not about the technology.

Pick one task

Look at your week and find the job that is repeated, boring and costs you customers or evenings. Examples in a service business include replying to new enquiries, chasing quotes, sending appointment reminders and raising invoices. Pick one, not five.

The directory's area pages describe a town of retail parks, industrial estates and residential neighbourhoods, so service firms here range from garages to shops to home services. The task differs, but the method does not.

The four steps

Dean Keating's website sets out the same route:

1. A free call. You describe how the business runs.
2. An audit. Together you identify the work that is worth automating, and in what order.
3. Build and install. The agent is built and set up in your email, website and WhatsApp.
4. Training and support. Your team learns to work with it, and he keeps supporting it.

You leave the first call with a plan you can use with or without him, so there is no pressure to carry on.

What to expect from yourself

Someone in the business has to answer questions about how things are done, and has to check the agent's work at first. It is not hands-off from day one.

Honest limits

He is based in Horndean, Hampshire. The work is remote, so if you need someone on the premises you should say so and also speak to providers nearer you. There is no published price: the cost depends on the task and is given after the call.
