AI audit · UK SMEs

An AI audit that starts with a stopwatch.

An AI audit for UK businesses with 10 to 250 staff. We look at how your marketing and sales work actually gets done, time the tasks that eat the most hours, check how AI is already being used and agree what to fix first. You end up with a baseline, a short list of priorities and a clear view of the risks.

In short.

Dutch Digital's AI audit maps where a UK SME's marketing and sales time goes, records a baseline of how long key tasks take, reviews current AI use and risks, and prioritises the workflows worth automating first. It is the first week of the four-week AI Marketing & Sales Ops Sprint.

Who it's for.

Owners, managing directors and marketing or sales leads at UK businesses with roughly 10 to 250 staff who want to know where AI would genuinely help before spending money on tools or training.

It also suits businesses where people already use AI informally and the leadership wants to know what is happening and whether it is safe.

The problem.

Most AI advice starts with tools. The better question is where your team's time goes and which tasks are worth changing. Without a baseline you can't tell whether AI saved anything, and without a policy you can't tell what has been pasted where.

What happens.

The audit is week 1 of the 4-week AI Marketing & Sales Ops Sprint. A lighter version, mapping where the hours go, is part of the half-day AI Kick-start Workshop.

  • Map the work: short conversations with the people doing marketing and sales tasks.
  • Time it: how long lead replies, proposals, CRM notes, reports and content take today, and who does them.
  • Check current AI use: which tools are used, on which data, and where the risks are.
  • Prioritise: the few workflows where AI pays back fastest, and what should stay human.

What you get.

  • A baseline: time per task today, written down before anything changes.
  • A priority list: the workflows worth building first, in order.
  • A risk view: where data is being shared and what your AI policy needs to cover.
  • A plan: what weeks 2 to 4 of the sprint would build, train and measure.

Questions

Straight answers.

If yours isn’t here, ask it on the call.

What is an AI audit for a small business?

An AI audit for a small business is a structured review of where staff time goes, which tasks AI could help with, how AI is already being used and what the risks are. Dutch Digital's audit focuses on marketing and sales and records a baseline so the hours saved can be measured.

What does an AI audit include?

It includes mapping marketing and sales tasks, timing how long they take today, reviewing current AI tools and data use, and a prioritised list of workflows to build first, with the risks and policy points noted.

How long does an AI audit take?

The audit takes one week as the first stage of the four-week AI Marketing & Sales Ops Sprint. A shorter version runs within the half-day AI Kick-start Workshop.

Do we need to be using AI already?

No. The audit works whether your team uses AI every day or not at all. If people already use it informally, the audit shows where and how, so you can make it safe and consistent.

What happens after the AI audit?

Weeks 2 and 3 of the sprint build and test the priority workflows with your team, and week 4 covers training, measurement against the baseline and handover.

Who carries out the audit?

Menno Kuiper, founder of Dutch Digital, carries out the audit himself. He has worked in digital marketing since 2010 and works in English or Dutch.
