How much does AI marketing cost for a small business?

£500, one flat fee, paid before we start: the source of truth, your tool set up with it, the skills and automations for the jobs you repeat, and the handover. The tool itself is billed to you by the provider, on a business plan.

A bigger build, a lead-handling system, a CRM wired in, a content pipeline that runs on its own, is scoped as sprints with the number in writing first. The detail is on AI marketing pricing.

Why does ChatGPT sound like everyone else?

Because it does not know your business. Most small businesses try it, write three posts, and stop, because the output could have come from anyone. The fix is a source of truth: one document with what you do, who it is for, your prices, your proof, how you talk and what you will not say.

I write it with you in one sitting of questions, about half an hour, and it becomes the first thing every tool reads. That is the difference between AI that sounds like you and AI that sounds like the internet.

Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini: which should I use?

The one you will actually open every day. All three do the language work well once they know the business. If you already pay for one, I set that one up. If you do not, I recommend on the call, based on how you work and what the rest of your tools connect to.

Whichever it is, it runs on a business plan where the provider does not train on your data, in an account in your name. More on Claude and ChatGPT set-up.

What can AI actually automate in my marketing?

The handful worth having, not everything that is possible. A first reply to every enquiry in minutes, in your voice, for you to approve. Follow-ups that send themselves after a job or a call. One conversation a month turned into a page, an email and a set of posts.

Nothing customer-facing goes out without a person deciding it should, until you decide otherwise. More on AI automation.

Who will set it up?

I will. Gareth Wray, in Ipswich: twelve years in sales, then the marketing, then the builds, and my own business started from a source of truth written the same way. For a year I qualified small businesses by phone, and nine times out of ten the answer to "Do you do any marketing?" was "no time". This is the fix for that. I am on 07451 260050.

  • What I will not do
  • Sell you a platform to rent
  • Automate anything customer-facing without a review step
  • Take a commission from any tool
  • Build a workflow that is not worth having

What it did for three clients.

Meta ads · Rich and Niche Academy

Clicks that were not converting, fixed at the creative.

The campaign was getting clicks and little else. I rebuilt the creative and the copy around the audience rather than the brand. Same account, before and after:

Click-through rate 4.94% to 8.74%
Return on ad spend 2.76x to 6.51x
Clicks 1,257 to 4,063
Cost per click $0.04 to $0.03

Definitely give Gareth a try if you're looking for a full stack marketer.

Lead capture · Aspire 1 Coaching

From word of mouth to a funnel that runs itself.

A good service and no way to capture a lead. Everything came through word of mouth. I built the whole path, from the first click to the follow-up email:

01Landing page
02Ebook lead magnet
03CRM pipeline
04Email sequence

Outstanding service from Gareth! He took care of everything, from setting up automations to creating lead magnets. Excited for what we can achieve together. Highly recommend!

A mailing list from Instagram, 30 sign-ups in a day.

Mac wanted somewhere to send people from Instagram instead of handling everything in the DMs. The first build was a giveaway landing page, then a calculator. Within a day of him promoting it, with no ads, 30 people had joined his mailing list. The case study.

Questions people ask before they start.

What does this actually cost? £500, one flat fee, paid before we start. It covers the source of truth, your LLM of choice set up with it, the skills and prompts for the jobs you repeat, the automations that fit, and the handover. If you then want something bigger built, a lead-handling system, a CRM wired in, a content pipeline that runs on its own, that is scoped as sprints with the number in writing first.
Are you an AI marketing agency? No, I am one person: I write the source of truth with you, set up the tools, build the automations and run the handover. No retainer, no platform to rent, and nothing in my name that you depend on.
What is a source of truth? One document that holds what the business does, who it is for, the prices, the proof, how you talk and what you will not say. It is what makes an AI sound like you instead of like everyone else. I write it with you in one sitting of questions, usually about half an hour, and it becomes the first thing every tool reads.
Which tools do you use? Whichever fit the job and your budget: Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini for the language work, your existing CRM and email platform where possible, and lightweight automation such as Make, Zapier or a small script on your own hosting. I do not resell a platform and I do not take a commission from any of them.
Will it sound like a robot wrote it? Not if it is set up properly. The first sprint is mostly capturing how you actually talk to customers and turning that into instructions, examples and guardrails. Anything customer-facing gets a human review step until you are confident enough to remove it.
Is my customer data safe? It stays in accounts you own, on paid business tiers where the provider does not train on your data, and nothing personal goes into a tool without a written note of what and why. If a workflow needs data I would not be comfortable sharing, it does not get built.
Do I need a technical person on my side? No. You need someone who knows the business well enough to answer questions for a couple of hours in the first week, and whoever will use the workflow day to day for the handover.
What if it does not work? The handover is not finished until you have produced something usable with it on the call: a post, an email, a reply to an enquiry, in your voice. If a workflow turns out not to be worth having, I say so early rather than build it.

AI that knows your business.
