Service engagement FAQs
What people usually ask before booking a Keystone service. If your question is not here, the free 20-minute route-finding chat covers the rest.
Clear answers should make the next decision easier, not heavier.
How long does a typical project take to deliver?
Most first projects run 1-2 weeks for a small fix, 2-3 weeks for a website rebuild, and 4-8 weeks for a full diagnostic followed by build. A simple AI Front Desk pilot can often start faster once the approved answers, handoff route, and access are clear. The free fit check gives a tighter estimate.
What does a service like this typically cost?
The AI Front Desk pilot is GBP 249 setup plus GBP 79/month for the first 60 days, then GBP 197/month if continued. Core is GBP 497 setup plus GBP 197/month, and Plus is GBP 997 setup plus GBP 397/month. Most first Keystone projects run GBP 400-2,500 depending on scope. Keystone gives a single written number after the fit check, not a vague rate card.
Do I need to give Keystone access to my existing systems?
Depends on the service. Website work usually needs hosting and domain access. CRM or automation work needs access to the current system. Strategy or audit work needs nothing beyond the URL or a copy of what is already in place. Keystone will list exactly what is needed in the proposal so there are no surprises.
What if the work does not help?
Keystone says so in the first chat if the project is not a good fit, and the chat is free either way. For paid work, revisions are scoped in the proposal before any payment is taken. If the agreed scope is not met, Keystone puts it right at no extra cost.
Do I own the work when it is done?
Yes. Every deliverable is white-labelled. Your brand, your code, your domain, your content. There is no lock-in, no vendor trap, and no recurring licence Keystone leaves behind without telling you about it first.
What areas does Keystone cover?
Most work is with UK small businesses, with a focus on Bedford, Northamptonshire, and the East of England. Remote work is normal for digital projects. Local SEO and Google Business Profile work is UK-specific and tied to a single physical area.
