AI Agency or AI Consultant? A Practice Manager’s Guide to Choosing in Bexleyheath
If you typed “AI agency” into a search box, you probably want someone to take a job off your hands. Here is what an agency usually sells, what this site’s publisher does instead, and when an agency is the better call.
For an AI agency in Bexleyheath, be clear about what you are buying first: Dean Keating is not an agency but an AI automation consultant, working remotely from Horndean, Hampshire, who builds and installs AI agents for small businesses. If that fits, the first call is free: 07418 627304.

Start with what you want done
People search for an AI agency when they have a pile of work and no time. That is a fair reason. The word covers very different arrangements, so it helps to separate them before you ring anyone.
An agency usually means an organisation with several roles behind a sales process: someone to scope, someone to build, someone to manage the account. That can suit a business with a large project, a budget line for it and a manager to run the relationship.
What this site’s publisher is instead
Dean Keating, who publishes this directory, is an AI automation consultant. He is not an agency, and this page will not describe him as one. His website says the work is done for you and installed, not handed over: he builds AI agents, puts them in the email, diary and messaging tools you already use, trains your staff and supports it afterwards.
He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, and works with south-east London businesses remotely. If you want someone in the room, say so on the first call and look at providers nearer to you too.
A practice and its reminders
This site lists 22 dentists, counted on 10 October 2026. Picture a practice manager who spends part of every afternoon on the same three messages: confirming tomorrow’s appointments, nudging people who have not replied, and telling someone which slots are free.
That is a narrow, repeated job, which is the kind of thing his website lists: updates, confirmations and reminders, booking into the diary and sorting messages. Anything clinical, or any patient who sounds upset, is handed to a person. The job is small enough that one builder can do it properly, and large enough to give back real afternoons.
When an agency is the better choice
Choose an agency if you need several things built at once, a formal contract with named roles, or a supplier with its own staff to cover holidays. Choose a consultant if you would rather agree one task, see it working and then decide what comes next. Neither is right for everyone.
Questions for any provider
- Who will actually build it, and who will I speak to afterwards?
- Which of my current tools will it run inside?
- What happens when it is unsure of an answer?
- How will my staff be trained?
- When will I find out the cost?
He starts 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. There is no published price list; the cost is given after the call, with no obligation. Looking at the dentists category shows the sort of business he would be working with.
