Following Up Facebook Ad Leads with AI: A Hayling Island Seasonal Guide

An advert leaves you paying for every click. The lead goes cold if the reply is slow. Easter-to-September firms, take note.

Dean Keating can automate follow-up after Facebook ad leads for a Hayling Island business: an AI agent picks up each lead, replies within minutes, keeps following up until the person books or says no, and books the call. His website says he has driven more than a million orders through Meta ads. He is based in Horndean, Hampshire; the first call is free.

A lead from an advert is different

Someone who searches for a plumber is looking for one. Someone who taps an advert in their feed was looking at holiday photos a minute ago. They filled in the form in a moment of interest, and that interest fades quickly. If your first message arrives the next day, they may not remember doing it.

The seasonal case

Beachlands runs its funfair from Easter to the end of the summer, according to the directory's area page, and the same pattern shapes a lot of island business: a short window in which visitors decide, followed by a quiet stretch. The directory lists seven places to stay and fifteen pubs and bars (10 October 2026), and many of them promote in the weeks before a season opens.

Picture a café or guest house that runs a Facebook advert before the Easter weekend. A good number of people fill in the form over a few days. The owner replies to the first few by hand and loses track of the rest, though the advert paid for every one of them. That example is an illustration, not a client.

What the agent does

From the jobs on Dean Keating's website:

1. Picks up each form submission as it arrives.
2. Replies within minutes, whatever time it is.
3. Asks what the person wanted: dates, numbers, the service.
4. Follows up again if they go quiet, until they book or say no.
5. Books the call or booking into the diary, and tells you.
6. Sends the weekly report so you can see who came in and what happened.

His background

His website says he has more than ten years in marketing and has driven more than a million orders through Meta ads. That is his own statement and we cannot check it for you. It does mean he knows how the lead side of an advert works.

Keep it honest

Only message people who submitted the form. Say what they signed up for. Stop when asked. Give them a person to talk to.

Getting it built

He works remotely from Horndean, a few miles north of Havant, and his website says he can visit Hampshire businesses. Compare other providers; he publishes this directory. See also WhatsApp follow-up.
