What AI services do you offer for a UK small business?
How Do AI is an AI consultancy for UK small businesses. AI Consulting is the core of it: you describe the problem, we scope it on a free call and then design and build the solution — websites, apps, workflow automations and custom AI tools — for a fixed price. Alongside that, How Do AI Admin runs the ongoing growth jobs for you: finding new local customers, replying to reviews, and posting on social, all from one dashboard.
You do not have to pick one. A sensible starting point is a consulting bundle aimed at whatever is costing you the most time, with an Admin plan added later if you want the marketing side handled too. Everything is scoped from the same free discovery call.
How does working with How Do AI actually work?
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. We ask about your business, your customers and the specific bottleneck you want to fix — no sales pitch. If AI is the right answer we quote a fixed price for a consulting bundle, a bespoke build or a monthly Admin plan. If AI is not the right answer, we say so and point you elsewhere.
Once you sign, setup takes days rather than weeks. Consulting bundles begin at a scheduled live session — we work through the problem with you in the room over Zoom, not in a silo. A one-page site or a first automation is usually live in 3 to 5 working days. Admin retainers start within a week and produce their first batch of approved content in the same span.
Who is this actually built for?
UK small businesses and independent shops, mostly one-to-fifty people. Trades (plumbers, electricians, heating engineers, builders), local service businesses (salons, gyms, driving instructors), hospitality (cafés, restaurants), independent retail, and small professional practices (accountants, dentists, private clinics, estate agents). If you are the owner or the person who has to run the marketing and admin as well as the actual work, you are exactly the audience.
What we do not do: enterprise, large agencies, or companies with a full-time IT team who need managed vendor procurement. Not because we cannot — because our pricing and process are built around owner-operators who need results in weeks, not a six-month rollout.
How much does it cost and how does pricing work?
Fixed prices, no surprise invoices. AI Consulting is the part with published numbers: Lite £150 for 4 hours, Plus £250 for 8 hours, Core £400 for 16 hours. Bespoke builds are scoped after a free call, and Admin runs as a monthly plan priced on how many channels you want covered — both quoted properly, because what they cost depends entirely on what you need them to do.
A deposit up front, balance on delivery. Monthly plans are 30 days notice with no minimum term. Everything you build with us is yours — code lives in your accounts, data can be exported at any time, and there are no proprietary lock-ins.
Frequently asked questions
What AI services do you offer for small businesses?
How Do AI is a consultancy with two ways in. AI Consulting bundles hours with an engineer to solve a specific problem or build something bespoke — websites, apps, workflow automations and custom AI tools. How Do AI Admin is the ongoing side: it finds new customers, replies to reviews and posts to social for you from one dashboard. Consulting is the usual starting point, with Admin added later if you want it.
How much do your AI services cost?
AI Consulting has published prices: £150 for a 4-hour Lite bundle, £250 for 8 hours, £400 for 16. Bespoke builds are quoted as a fixed one-off fee after a free call, and Admin runs as a monthly plan priced on how many channels you want covered. Everything is fixed-price once quoted — no surprise invoices.
How long does a typical project take?
A one-page site or a single workflow automation is usually live in 3 to 5 working days. A multi-page website or a larger automation takes 1 to 2 weeks. A bespoke custom app is scoped after a free discovery call and typically runs 4 to 8 weeks depending on integrations. Admin retainers go live the same week and the AI takes over the moment it is trained on your business.
Do I need any technical skills to use these services?
No. Every service is set up, trained and maintained by How Do AI. You approve content, review results and stay in control, but you never write code, wrangle APIs or manage a server. If you can send an email you can run any of our tools. Setup calls are done over Zoom in plain English.
Will the AI sound like me and my business?
Yes. Everything we build — drafted replies, social posts, website copy — is trained on your business: services, pricing, tone, existing website copy, and any brochures or PDFs you share. You review a set of sample outputs before anything goes live and can retrain the tone at any time. The AI never speaks unless it matches your voice.
What happens to my customer data?
Your data stays yours. We store conversation transcripts and lead details in your account and email them to you directly. Nothing is sold, nothing is used to train third-party models, and everything is UK-GDPR compliant. You can export or delete your data at any time by asking, and we destroy backups on written request.
What if the AI gives a wrong answer?
The AI is boxed into your business content and told to escalate anything it is unsure about. When something falls outside its knowledge it flags it for a human rather than guessing, and nothing customer-facing is sent without your approval unless you have explicitly asked for that. You see the output so you can spot weak answers, and we retune the training as needed — usually within a day.
Can I cancel or downgrade?
Yes. Monthly retainers run month to month with no minimum term — cancel any time with 30 days’ notice and we hand back your data, transcripts and any assets we produced. One-off projects are yours to keep once delivered; you own the outputs. There are no lock-ins, no proprietary formats, and no exit fees.
