How much does AI consulting cost?
If you run a Professional Services firm, a flat-fee AI Deep Dive gives you a clear price instead of hourly guesses.
You run a Professional Services firm. You've seen AI consulting rates at $200, $300, even $500 an hour. Then you spot a flat $1,500 price. Is that a bargain or a red flag? You just want a straight answer.
Professional Services firms often get quoted high hourly rates for AI work. Consultants charge by the hour and scope can drift. You end up with a bill that's double what you expected. The problem is not knowing the total cost upfront.
Hourly rates for AI consulting often start at $200 and can reach $500. For a Professional Services firm, a typical project might take 40 hours, leading to bills of $8,000 to $20,000. A flat-fee approach, like a fixed-price deep dive, stops the meter. You pay one price for a defined scope.
Stop guessing. Book a $1,500 AI Deep Dive with FocusDude. You get a full teardown of your business, a written plan, and fixes shipped or quoted. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. In 2-3 days, you'll have a clear roadmap. Don't pay a consultant to learn your business on your dime.
When the deep dive is done, you'll know exactly what AI can do for your Professional Services firm. You'll have a plan you can act on, with costs spelled out. No more wondering if you're overpaying. You'll have control over your AI budget.

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."

Other things people with a Professional Services ask
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.
