AI implementation for small businesses

Beyond GEO — Brighter Days Consulting helps small businesses implement AI across their marketing and operations. We come in, build what matters, and hand it back. You leave capable, not dependent.

Every engagement follows the same four-phase process: audit, build, handover and check-ins. Plain English throughout. Project-based pricing always. No ongoing retainer.

The problem

The work that isn't your work

Most small business owners spend a significant part of their week on things that have nothing to do with why they started their business. Admin. Content. Reporting. Chasing. Scheduling. Systems that don't connect.

AI can handle a meaningful proportion of all of it. The challenge is knowing which tools to use, how to connect them, and how to build them into the way your business actually works — rather than adding another thing to learn on top of everything else.

That is exactly what Brighter Days Consulting does. We map where AI can genuinely help your specific business, build it, and hand it back with everything documented in plain English so you can run it without us.

The four-phase process

How every engagement works

Every client — whatever the tier — follows the same four-phase process. You always know where you are, what's happening next, and what you're getting at the end.

01WEEK 1

The Clarity Audit

We start by getting under the skin of your business. Your tools, your workflows, your marketing, how you appear in AI search using ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. We come back with a plain-English AI Opportunity Report that maps exactly where AI can help, prioritised by impact. You know what we're going to do and why before we touch anything.

02WEEKS 2–4

The Build

This is where we get to work. Tools set up. Content workflows created. Automations built. GEO footprint improved across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. We work in person or remotely and explain everything as we go so nothing feels like a black box.

03WEEKS 4–5

The Handover

We document everything in plain English. Not a technical manual — a guide your team can actually use. Then we run a handover session so you feel genuinely confident running everything without us. You own it. We just built it.

04WK 6 + MO 3

The Check-ins

Two structured follow-up calls included in every Core and Growth engagement. We review what's working, answer questions, tweak anything that needs it, and identify anything new worth adding. This is what separates a proper transformation from a report that gathers dust.

Pricing

Three ways to work together

Every business is different. The right tier depends on how wide and deep you want to go — not on how much we can sell you.

Starter
£750 – £1,200

One problem. One solution. 2–3 weeks.

Best for: Very small businesses with one clear problem to solve and a tighter budget. A focused engagement on one area of your business — most often marketing or a single workflow. Audit scoped to that area, one or two tools set up and working, plain-English documentation, one follow-up check-in call.

Core · Most popular
£2,000 – £3,500

The full transformation. 5 weeks.

Best for: Small teams of 2–10 who are ready for a proper transformation across their whole business. Our flagship engagement. A full audit across marketing, operations and GEO — including how you appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews — AI improvements across all three areas, complete documentation and handover, two check-in calls at six weeks and three months.

Growth
£4,500 – £6,000

Deeper. Wider. More ambitious. 6–8 weeks.

Best for: More complex businesses with bigger teams, more systems to integrate, or bigger ambitions. Everything in Core plus broader implementation across more areas, training for multiple team members, a third check-in call, and first right of refusal on any follow-on work.

Pricing philosophy

Why we don't charge by the hour

Every Brighter Days engagement is project-based. You pay for the result, not the time it takes to deliver it.

Hourly pricing penalises efficiency. The better we get at our work — and the more we use AI to deliver it — the less you should pay. That's backwards.

Project pricing means you always know what you're spending, the incentive is on us to deliver efficiently, and the value you receive is the measure of success — not the hours on a timesheet.

No retainers. No monthly fees. No dependency. Just a clear project, a clear outcome, and a business that runs better at the end of it.

FAQ

Questions about working with Brighter Days

ChatGPT is a tool. Brighter Days Consulting is a strategy. Knowing which tools to use, how to connect them, where they will save you the most time, and how to build them into your actual workflow — that is the work. Most people who try to figure it out alone either give up or end up with something that half-works. We build it properly, from the start, around your specific business.
No. Every engagement is a defined project with a clear start and end point. The check-in calls at six weeks and three months are included in Core and Growth engagements — but after the final check-in, you are free. No retainer, no monthly fee, no ongoing commitment.
Yes. We work with UK businesses in person or remotely, and with international businesses fully remotely across any time zone.
Small businesses with two to ten people across a wide range of sectors. Owner-led, founder-led, people who are brilliant at what they do and want to spend more time doing it. Brighter Days Consulting does not specialise in one industry — we specialise in making small businesses work smarter using AI.
Yes. GEO work — including an audit of AI search visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews — is included in every Core and Growth engagement as standard. Starter engagements can include a GEO element depending on scope agreed at the outset.
