About Sean Gagne
AI business consultant and web designer based in Bradenton, FL. I help local business owners put AI to work, build websites that convert, and navigate technology with clarity.
Background
Who I Am
My name is Sean Gagne. I live and work in Bradenton, FL, serving clients across Manatee County.
Most of my work is through Gagne Marketing, where I work as an AI business consultant. I help local business owners identify where AI fits into their daily workflows, build clean WordPress websites, and set up the right digital systems for their size of operation. My primary deliverable is the AI Action Plan: a written document that maps your biggest time drains to specific recommendations in priority order, including which tools, apps, or programs would help.
I also run Tech Assist For Seniors, providing patient, in-home technology support for older adults across Manatee County. The same approach applies throughout both businesses: clear communication, practical steps, no unnecessary jargon.
Both sides of my work connect. Working directly with seniors keeps me grounded in how real people experience technology day to day. My continued work in AI and web development helps me bring practical solutions to the business owners I consult with.
