AI Business Coach · Dean Keating

AI automation for small businesses, coached by an AI consultant who runs his own businesses on it

Enquiries waiting for a reply. Quotes to chase. Invoices to send. A weekly report nobody has time to build. I coach UK business owners, one-to-one and remotely, to hand that kind of work to AI inside the tools they already use, with them setting the rules.

ChatGPT check · 10 October 2026

ChatGPT named me in 8 of 15 questions about AI automation help, and first in 6.

One dated check. ChatGPT's answers change from run to run, so treat this as evidence, not a promise.

Where the week goes

Most owners I speak to aren't short of ideas for AI. They're short of an hour to work out which job to hand over first, and how to set it up so it doesn't make a mess.

  • Enquiries sit for hours because nobody had a minute to reply.
  • Quotes go out, then nobody follows them up.
  • The same details get typed into three different systems.
  • Invoice reminders depend on someone remembering.
  • You've tried ChatGPT, got something half useful, and went back to doing it by hand.

Proof, not promises

I don't just talk about AI. My own businesses run on it.

I run my own businesses on AI agents

My web agency and my network of local directory websites run on more than 100 defined AI agent roles. The rule is the same one I'll coach you to use: the agent does the repeatable work, a person sets the rules and approves what matters.

  • Sorting the client inbox and routing each email to the right desk
  • Working client website edit requests from start to finish
  • Writing the monthly SEO update for each client
  • Drafting invoices, held for approval before anything is sent

Who you'd be working with

I'm Dean Keating. Before marketing I spent five years as a stand-up comedian, which taught me more about what people actually want than any course. Since then I've spent over a decade building and scaling businesses online. Now I build my own businesses around AI agents, and coach other owners to do the same, carefully.

What happens on the free strategy call

Dean Keating

It's a 30-minute call with me, Dean. Not a sales rep, not a call centre.

  1. 1

    You tell me where the week goes

    How the business really runs, and which jobs keep landing on you. No slides, no jargon.

  2. 2

    We pick the first job worth handing over

    And I'll tell you which ones aren't worth it yet. Some aren't.

  3. 3

    I show you what it would look like

    In the tools you already use, with the approval points you'd want.

  4. 4

    You decide

    If coaching fits, I explain how it works and what it costs. If it doesn't, I'll say so.

Is this for you?

This is for you if…

  • You run a UK business with real, repeatable admin.
  • You or your team lose hours a week to work done at a screen.
  • You want to understand and control the AI, not just be sold a tool.
  • You'll put in the time to try things between sessions.

It's probably not for you if…

  • You're pre-revenue with no processes to improve yet.
  • You want a magic button with no say in how it works.
  • Nothing in your business is repetitive or done at a screen.
  • You'd rather have it built for you than learn it (see done-for-you below).

  1. 1

    Three quick steps so I can prepare. About two minutes.

  2. 2

    I message you

    I WhatsApp you from 07418 627304 to find a time that suits.

  3. 3

    We talk

    30 minutes, by phone or video call. Nothing is booked until I confirm.

Questions people ask first

What does coaching cost?

It depends on how much help you want, so I don't put a price on this page. If coaching looks like a fit on the call, I'll give you a straight figure there. There's no obligation and no pressure to decide on the call.

Is the strategy call really free?

Yes. It's 30 minutes with me, by phone or video call, and you're under no obligation afterwards.

Do I need to be technical?

No. Coaching starts from how your business works today. I explain everything in plain English, and we only use tools you're comfortable with.

What's the difference between coaching and done-for-you?

Coaching means you learn to set it up and run it yourself, with me alongside you. If you'd rather I built and installed it for you, that's my done-for-you service, and we can talk about either on the call.

Is my data safe?

We work inside your existing tools, with only the access you choose to give. Please don't put client names, passwords or confidential records in the application.

Do you only work in Hampshire?

No. I'm based in Horndean, Hampshire, and coaching is remote, so it works the same anywhere in the UK.

Will you hard-sell me on the call?

No. If it's a fit, you'll know. If it isn't, I'll tell you, and point you somewhere better if I can.

Start with one job you'd love to stop doing

Tell me where your week goes. If AI can take some of it, I'll show you where to start.
