Based in Horndean, Hampshire. Works remotely with businesses in Sidcup and across the UK. Dean publishes sidcup.co. This is his own service, not an independent recommendation or ranking.
Three ways Dean can help
Live coaching
You do the work, Dean helps
Dean guides you live online while you set things up and learn the tools yourself. Installation is not included.
Consultancy
You get a plan
Decide your priorities, which tools suit, and where a person must approve before anything goes out. A set of decisions, not a build.
Installation
Dean builds it
A workflow that is scoped separately, quoted, built and tested for you. Agreed with you before work starts.
Discuss the relevant scope, costs and ongoing tool charges before any paid work.
What it can look like in practice
A made-up example for a small trades business. Not a real client, quote or result.
Enquiry
A message arrives asking about a job next week, with no postcode or details.
Draft
AI drafts a polite reply asking for the missing details.
Owner approval
The owner reads it, changes what they want, and sends it themselves.
Agreed follow-up
A reminder the owner has agreed to prompts a check-back if nobody replies.
How it works
Describe your work
Tell Dean what you do now and what you need.
Agree the help
Agree the suitable help, scope and costs.
Test before handover
Any agreed workflow is tested before it is handed over.
Fit is not assumed. If another route suits you better, Dean will say so.
Questions before you message
- What is the difference between coaching and installation?
- In coaching you set things up yourself with Dean helping live. In installation Dean builds a workflow for you, scoped and quoted separately. Installation is not part of coaching.
- Where is Dean based?
- Horndean, Hampshire. He works remotely with businesses in Sidcup and across the UK.
- What should I prepare?
- A few lines on what your business does, which routine jobs take your time, and which tools you already use. Please leave out customer details and anything private.
- What happens after I message on WhatsApp?
- Dean reads your message and replies when he can. You then talk through what you need, and only agree to help, scope and costs if it suits you. Nothing is sent until you press send.
Dean also has his own website: deankeating.com
This is the publisher's own business. Dean Keating publishes Sidcup.co, so this page is not a paid placement and the business is not ranked against other firms. He is not based in Sidcup: he works from Horndean, Hampshire, and delivers remotely anywhere in the UK. In-person visits are only possible in Hampshire and the immediate surrounding area, by agreement. There is no Sidcup office.
What he offers: coaching, to help you understand and use AI in the business you already run; consultancy, to assess priorities, tools, constraints and which decisions need a person to approve them; and installation, to build, connect, test and hand over an agreed workflow. They can be used together or separately, and which fits is discussed on the free first call, with the format agreed before any paid work.
AI automation: installed agents work in the tools a business already uses where that is feasible. Jobs his website lists include replying to enquiries, following up people who have already got in touch, preparing quotes and chasing the unanswered ones, booking jobs into the diary, answering common questions across email, web and WhatsApp, preparing invoices and payment reminders, and putting reports together. Follow-up runs to a timing and cap agreed with the business, bookings need real availability and agreed permissions, and anything that moves money needs a person to approve it. An agent cannot guarantee that it spots every urgent message or that a person replies in time.
How it works: a free call about how the business runs, an audit of the repetitive work worth automating, the build and install on your systems, then training and support. The free call is a discussion of your needs and options. Costs depend on the agreed scope and account for installation, tool running costs and support; the deliverables, format, feasible tools and access, costs, and what training and support cover are agreed before paid work starts. Ongoing support, including any retainer, is discussed based on what you need.
What his website says: he is a Shopify 10K Award winner with more than ten years in marketing, and has driven more than a million orders through Meta ads. These are his own claims and this directory has not verified them. He also builds websites for trades and small businesses and does SEO.
