Dean Keating, AI Automation Consultant: Who He Is and Why He Appears on Folkestone.co

A visitor browsing the dentists and guest houses on this site may be surprised to find an AI consultant in the same directory. The reason is simple: the person who publishes the site also runs that business. Rather than hide the connection, we put it on the page.

What he does

Dean Keating builds AI agents for small businesses. An agent is a piece of software that does one repetitive job in the background: answering a new enquiry, chasing a quote, booking a job into the diary, raising an invoice, or putting the weekly report together. He sets them up inside the email, web forms, WhatsApp and diary tools you already pay for, rather than asking you to learn a new system.

His website describes the service as installed for you, not handed over. He builds it, installs it, trains your team and supports it afterwards. It is not a course, it is not a phone-answering service, and it is not an off-the-shelf chatbot product.

How a job runs

There are four steps. The first is a free call about how your business actually runs. Second comes an audit of the work that is worth automating. Third is the build and install. Fourth is training and support. He begins with the single task that would make the biggest difference rather than trying to automate everything at once, and you leave the free call with a plan you could use with or without him.

There is no published price list. The cost depends on what is automated and is given after the free call, with no obligation.

The background he gives

His website says he is a Shopify 10K Award winner, has more than ten years in marketing and has driven more than a million orders through Meta ads. Before marketing he spent five years as a professional stand-up comedian. He also builds websites for trades and small businesses and does SEO. He has no rated Google business listing, so there are no star ratings to quote.

Why the entry is labelled

Our directory profiles for other businesses are built from public information, and some firms pay for a featured place. The Dean Keating profile is neither of those. It sits in its own AI automation category, carries a publisher's label and is not ranked against anyone. If you are comparing AI help, we would rather you read our sixteen guides, ask the questions in them of several providers, and judge for yourself.

Where he is, and where you are

He works from Horndean, Hampshire. The build and install are done remotely and his website says that works anywhere in the UK, which covers a business in Kent as well as one in Hampshire. He can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby in person. For a firm on this stretch of coast who wants a person in the room, the honest advice is to say so on the first call and look at Kent providers alongside him.
