How much does AI consulting cost for a franchise or multi-location business?
You run a franchise or multi-location operation, and you need a clear answer on AI consulting costs. An AI Deep Dive like FocusDude’s is a flat $1,500, not an hourly mystery.
You see numbers like $10,000 or $200 an hour and wonder what’s real. For a franchise group or multi-location business, the price can swing wildly because your systems are spread across sites. You just want to know if $1,500 is a lot or a steal.
AI consulting costs are all over the map. Some firms charge $200 to $500 per hour. Projects can run $15,000 or more. For you, it’s worse. A franchise or multi-location setup means more websites, more tools, more processes to untangle. That complexity jacks up the price fast.
A flat fee changes the game. FocusDude’s AI Deep Dive is $1,500. No hourly billing. In 2-3 days, you get a full teardown of your business. Your website, your software, your workflows, and what AI says about you. It ends with a written plan and fixes either shipped or quoted clearly.
This week, stop looking at hourly rates that pile up. A flat fee gives you a hard ceiling. You know exactly what you’ll pay. The Deep Dive spots what’s broken across all your locations and hands you a list of fixes you can act on. Call Scott at FocusDude. Ask if a Deep Dive fits your franchise structure.
Once it’s done, you have a single document that maps your AI gaps and opportunities. No surprise invoices. No vague advice. Just a clear path forward for every location you run.

how can ai help small businesses
Start from the pain, not the tool: where do hours leak, where do leads die, what do you retype every week. A deep dive maps your specific business to the handful of AI uses that pay for themselves in the first month.
how to choose an AI consultant
A good AI consultant should show you a clear plan, not just talk about the future. They should audit your actual business, not sell you a generic playbook. Ask for a fixed-price deep dive, not hourly billing. Look for someone who can implement, not just advise.
