AI Agency or One AI Consultant? What a Small Business in Emsworth Should Know
If you typed "AI agency" into a search box, you probably want somebody to set up AI so you do not have to. This page explains who does that, and which kind of provider suits you.
For a small business in Emsworth, the honest answer is that it depends on size and need. Dean Keating of Horndean, Hampshire, is an AI automation consultant, not an agency: he builds AI agents, installs them in your tools, trains your people and supports it. Phone or WhatsApp 07418 627304.
Start with a plain statement
Dean Keating is not an agency. He is one AI automation consultant who builds, installs, trains and supports. He also publishes this directory, so this page has an obvious interest. Read it as an introduction from the owner, then compare.
What an agency usually offers
Agencies tend to sell a package of services, often to larger organisations: strategy, several workstreams, account management. That can suit a business with a bigger budget, many departments, or a project that needs different specialists at once. If that sounds like you, an agency may be the better choice, and you should ask each one who will actually do the work.
What you get from one consultant instead
His website describes a done-for-you service in four steps: a free call, an audit of the work worth automating, the build and install, then training and support. It calls the result installed for you, not handed over. He begins with the single task that would make the most difference, and you leave the free call with a plan you can use with or without him. No price list is published; the cost is given after the free call, with no obligation.
A small example
The directory lists one photographer (counted 10 October 2026). Picture a photographer working alone: they are behind the camera when an enquiry lands, so the reply waits until the evening. The jobs his website lists include answering new enquiries within minutes, sending quotes and chasing the ones nobody answered, and booking the job into the diary. A sole trader rarely needs an agency for that. They need those jobs done.
Questions to put to any provider
- Will you build it, or hand me instructions?
- Does it run inside the software I already have?
- Who trains my staff, and who do I ring when it does something odd?
- Do I get a plan I can use without you?
- Where are you based, and can you come to me if I want that?
Where he is based
He is in Horndean, Hampshire, the same county as this town, and sets up remotely. His website says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby in person. He has no rated Google business listing, so there is no review score to quote.
What it is not
It is not a course, not phone answering and not a chatbot product. For a closer look at the comparison, read what to ask an AI consulting provider or how an installer differs from an adviser.
