How much does AI consulting cost for a home service business?
If you run a home service company, a flat-fee AI deep dive gives you a clear price and a written plan, not an hourly mystery bill.
You see AI consultants charging $200 an hour or more online. You own a home service business and just want to know what it actually costs to get started. The numbers feel made up, and you don't want to write a blank check.
Most home service owners face the same wall. Your website brings in jobs, your crew runs on a loose process, and your phone rings with the same five questions. An AI deep dive looks at all of it. Your site, your booking flow, your follow-ups. The goal is to find where software can do the repeat work for you.
Hourly AI consulting often runs $200 to $350 an hour. A small automation might take a few hours. A full review of your business can take two or three days. At hourly rates, that adds up fast and you still don't know the final number. A flat-fee deep dive at $1,500 locks the scope from day one. You get a teardown of your business, a written plan, and fixes quoted or shipped along the way.
This week, book a call with Scott Gerke at FocusDude. He spends two or three days inside your home service business. He looks at what AI says about you, where you lose leads, and which tasks a machine can handle. You get a plain English report, not a pitch deck. No surprise invoices.
After the deep dive, you know exactly what to fix and what it costs. Your team spends less time on repeat work. Your customers get faster answers. You make decisions with real numbers, not guesses.
What our customers say
"Scott went above and beyond anything we ever could’ve expected. He didn’t just teach our team to use Claude. He opened our eyes to a whole new way of working. He pulled our entire business together, rebuilt our sales process from the ground up, helped us get payroll organized, and got us ready to launch our new sales team. The real difference for us has been Scott. We are going to keep working with him long-term."
"Working with Scott has been amazing! His ability to ingest information, understand it, and then help you understand it is second to none. His work ethic is unlike any I've seen. Scott's forward-thinking mindset is incredibly refreshing and helpful. If you want your website to be found more easily, do yourself a favor and talk to Scott and his team. But don't stop there. Scott has a wealth of knowledge that can help you in so many ways."
"Scott and team just finished a deep dive on our website and it was eye-opening. They found and implemented several key fixes, and actually explained them so we could understand. We've already hired them for another project."

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.
