Who Is Dean Keating? AI Automation for Bognor Regis Businesses, Explained

The short version

Dean Keating builds AI agents for small firms. An agent is a piece of software that takes over one repeating job, such as answering a new enquiry, and does it inside the email, web forms, WhatsApp or booking tools the firm already has. He builds it, installs it, trains the people who will use it and keeps supporting it. His website's own phrase is that it is installed for you, not handed over.

Where he is, and what that means for you

He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, and has no office in Bognor. The build and install are done remotely, anywhere in the UK, so the distance does not stop the work. His website says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby; we have not seen it promise visits in West Sussex, so ask on the first call rather than assume. If you would rather have someone in the room, say so and look at Bognor-based providers as well.

The jobs on his list

His website lists the work an agent can take on:

- replying to new enquiries within minutes, day or night
- following up every lead until they book or say no
- sending quotes and chasing the ones nobody answered
- booking jobs into the diary
- answering common questions across email, web and WhatsApp
- sorting and routing messages, and escalating to a person when it should
- sending updates, confirmations and reminders
- raising invoices and chasing late payments
- copying details from one system into another
- putting together the weekly report

How a start looks

There are four steps: a free call, an audit of the work worth automating, the build and install, then training and support. He starts with the single task that would make the most difference rather than trying to automate everything at once. 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.

Why the publisher is writing about himself

This directory lists 541 businesses in eleven categories as of 10 October 2026, from 87 pubs and bars down to 31 gyms. Dean Keating publishes it and also runs this service, which is why his profile is labelled as our own business and is not ranked against anyone. His website says he is a Shopify 10K Award winner, has more than ten years in marketing, has driven more than a million orders through Meta ads and spent five years as a professional stand-up comedian before moving into marketing. He also builds websites for trades and small businesses and does SEO. He has no rated Google business listing, so there is no review score to quote. Treat all of that as his own account of himself.

What it is not

It is not a course, it is not phone answering and it is not a chatbot product you subscribe to. It is a set-up job done on your systems.
