AI and automation agency in Edinburgh

Last updated 28 October 2026

Level One is a small Edinburgh agency that builds automation and AI systems for owner-led businesses. Dean Finlayson runs it and does the work himself: phones answered, enquiries replied to, paperwork entered and chased, and marketing you can measure. Clients are in Edinburgh, across Scotland and elsewhere in the UK.

What we build

Four services, each with its own page and prices:

Is Level One an AI agency?

Partly. AI Staff Creation and AI Marketing and Brand Optimisation are built on AI tools. Much of the rest is plain automation: workflows that connect the apps you already use, so nobody types the same thing twice.

We only build an AI agent where a simple workflow can't do the job, because a workflow is cheaper to run and easier to look after. If that's the case for you, we'll say so on the first call.

Who we work with

Owner-led businesses where one or two people answer the phone, reply to enquiries, type up orders and still try to do the real work. That includes trades firms, cleaning companies, online shops, distributors, logistics firms and accounting practices.

How a project starts

With a 20-minute call, then a 90-minute Systems Review of how enquiries, orders and paperwork move through your business today. You get a written plan with costs and a fixed quote before anything is built. The first piece usually goes live within 1 to 3 weeks of sign-off.

What it costs

One-time build fees start at £1,000 for a landing page and £1,200 for Speed to Lead. Every price is on the pricing page.

Do you only work in Edinburgh?

No. Level One is based in Edinburgh and works with businesses across Scotland and the rest of the UK.
