AI Consulting Services in Fareham: What You Pay For and How to Compare

"AI consulting services" covers a wide range, from a morning of advice to a full build. Before you compare providers, decide which of those you are buying.

Three things consulting can mean

1. Advice. Someone looks at the business and writes down what could be done.
2. A plan plus supervision. Advice, followed by you or your staff doing the work with guidance.
3. Hands-on installation. The consultant builds the system and puts it in place.

Dean Keating works at the third level. His website describes the service as installed for you: he builds AI agents, installs them in the tools the business already uses, trains the team and supports it. The first steps are a free call and an audit of what is worth automating. You come away with a plan you can use with or without him.

An example: a small accountancy

The directory lists 20 accountants, counted on 10 October 2026, in the accountants section. Most are small practices, and their admin follows the same rhythm: client messages that need a reply, documents to chase, reminders before a deadline, invoices to raise and payments to chase.

A consultant doing the first level would produce a document. One doing the third would pick the task that costs the practice most, perhaps replying to new enquiries and chasing the paperwork clients owe, and build an agent that handles it in the practice's own email. The partner still decides anything involving advice. The agent sorts and routes messages, sends confirmations and reminders and escalates to a person when something does not fit.

How to compare consulting companies and consultants

- What will exist at the end? A report, a system, or both.
- Who does the work? The person you meet, or someone else.
- Where does it run? Ideally inside tools you already pay for.
- What happens afterwards? Who fixes it when a form changes or a price moves.
- What do you keep if you stop? A usable plan is a good sign.

Do not rely on a "best of" list for this, including ours. We have not assessed other providers, and a list of names tells you little about the quality of the work.

About the consultant behind this site

He is one consultant, not a company or a firm. His website mentions a Shopify 10K Award, more than ten years in marketing, more than a million orders driven through Meta ads and five years as a professional stand-up comedian before marketing. These are his own statements and we have not verified them. He has no rated Google business listing, so there are no reviews to point to.

He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, and does the build and install remotely anywhere in the UK, which his website says he can supplement with visits to businesses in Hampshire or nearby. There is no published price list; the cost is given after the free call, with no obligation.
