AI Strategy Consulting for Australian Small Business

Most AI strategy consulting in Australia is built for enterprises: six-figure engagements, 80-page decks, and no implementation. RightLink does the opposite. We run a fixed-price review of your business, identify the two or three automations that will actually pay for themselves, and hand you a 90-day plan you can execute, with us or without us.

What you get

Two deliverables, both fixed-price and scoped in writing before you commit.

AI Readiness Review

We map your current workflows, how enquiries arrive, how quotes go out, how invoices get chased, and score each process for automation value and risk. You get a clear written assessment of where AI saves you time, where it earns revenue, and where it is honestly not worth the trouble.

90-Day Opportunity Roadmap

A sequenced implementation plan: which automation to build first, what it should cost, which of your existing tools it connects to (Xero, MYOB, ServiceM8, Tradify, HotDoc, Cliniko, Microsoft 365 and more), and exactly how you will measure whether it worked at the 90-day review.

What AI strategy consulting costs in Australia

Enterprise firms charge $50,000 to $250,000 or more for AI strategy engagements. For a small business, that maths never works. The RightLink consultation is free, any engagement is fixed-price and written down before you commit, and if we build the first automation for you, you receive a written quote before any work begins.

Our process

Step 1

Free 30-minute strategy call

We map how work actually moves through your business: how enquiries arrive, how quotes go out, how invoices get chased, and where time leaks.

Step 2

AI readiness review

We score each process for automation value and risk, and identify where AI saves time, where it earns revenue, and where it is not worth the trouble.

Step 3

90-day roadmap handover

You get a sequenced plan: which automation to build first, what it should cost, which of your existing tools it connects to, and how to measure it at the 90-day review.

Step 4

Optional build

If you choose to proceed, we implement the first automation. Projects are fixed-price, scoped in writing, and go live in 2 to 4 weeks. There is no obligation to continue past the roadmap.

Who this is for

Trades and construction

Quote follow-up, job scheduling, and invoice reminders that stop revenue slipping through the cracks.

Allied health and NDIS

Appointment reminders, participant communications, and document collection that cut no-shows and admin load.

Professional services

Client onboarding, document requests, and proposal follow-up handled without manual chasing.

Hospitality and bookings

Enquiry response, booking confirmations, and after-hours coverage so you never miss a sale.

AI strategy consulting: common questions

Enterprise consultancies price AI strategy engagements for large corporates, and for a small business that maths never works. RightLink does it differently. The initial consultation is free, and any engagement is fixed-price and scoped in writing before you commit — no hourly billing, no surprises. If we conclude your business is not ready for automation, we will tell you that in the free call, and it will cost you nothing.
Strategy is the review and the roadmap: we work out where AI genuinely helps your business, what it should cost, and in what order to build it. Implementation is the build: connecting the tools, writing the workflows, testing, and going live. RightLink does both, priced separately, with no obligation to continue past the strategy stage. You can take the roadmap and execute it yourself, with us, or with anyone else.
It is a focused plan to prove AI value in one high-impact area within 90 days, rather than a vague multi-year transformation. It defines the single process to automate first, what success looks like, and how you will measure it at the 90-day review. We have written a full template for Australian SMBs, which you can read on our blog.
No. We specialise in the small business market rather than enterprise. If you are running repetitive admin manually, chasing quotes and invoices, or missing enquiries after hours, there is usually a clear automation opportunity regardless of how many staff you have.
No. Part of an honest roadmap is telling you when an off-the-shelf tool, a process change, or simply doing nothing is the better call. We do not quote numbers we cannot defend, and we do not recommend builds that will not pay for themselves.
We tell you. The free consultation exists precisely so you find that out before spending anything. If there is no automation that will pay for itself in a reasonable timeframe, that is the honest conclusion, and it is yours to keep.
Yes. The consultation is conducted by video call and any build is completed remotely. We work with businesses across every state and territory in Australia.

Where a roadmap usually leads

Once the plan is clear, most clients start with one build and expand from there.
