Questions
Asked and answered.
What is Summone Consulting?
An AI consultancy based in Glasgow, Scotland, founded by Steven Summone: 25+ years of FTSE 100 enterprise experience, including Virgin Money and NatWest Bank. We help businesses of every size adopt AI strategically and practically, from Glasgow SMEs to large enterprises across the UK. Meet Steven on the about page, or see everything we do on one page.
What AI services does Summone Consulting offer?
AI strategy and roadmaps, workflow automation, Microsoft Copilot deployment, local SEO and AI search visibility, AI workshops and training, and executive AI mentorship for senior leaders. The full directory lives at services.
How much does an AI consultation cost?
The initial 45-minute strategy call is completely free, and you leave with a clear picture of where AI can have the fastest impact in your business. No obligation, no jargon, no slide decks. After that, packages are tailored to your size and requirements. See how consulting engagements work on the AI consulting page, or book the free call.
Does Summone Consulting only work with large enterprises?
No. Steven has deep FTSE 100 experience, but Summone was built to bring that level of strategic thinking to smaller businesses that do not normally get access to it. We work with startups, growing SMEs and established businesses across Glasgow, Edinburgh and the wider Scottish market, sized to your budget and ambitions. Judge for yourself in the case studies.
How do I get my business found in AI search tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity?
AI platforms pull from structured, authoritative, citation-worthy content, not just keyword-optimised pages. We build the right content structure, earn citations and establish clear entity signals so AI answers say your name, not a competitor’s. For Scottish businesses this is one of the biggest visibility opportunities going; start with AI search visibility.
Is Summone Consulting based in Scotland?
Yes, 100% Scottish-based: Glasgow HQ with an active client base in Edinburgh, the central belt and the wider UK. See Glasgow and Edinburgh.
How do you protect our data during an AI implementation?
Governance comes first, not as an afterthought. Steven spent 25 years inside FTSE 100 banks where data handling is non-negotiable, and we publish our AI data handling policy and data processing agreement openly. Every engagement starts by assessing what data a tool will touch, and we only recommend tools that meet your industry’s compliance standards.
What happens after the engagement ends?
You are not left holding a slide deck. Engagements hand over written playbooks your team keeps, and our guarantee means we keep working until the results are there. Many clients continue on a rolling retainer or move into one-to-one mentorship; both can be stopped with notice. The goal is capability inside your business, not dependency on ours.
