Why founders fall behind on marketing
Before product-market fit, every hour goes to the product and every pound goes to runway. Marketing is the job that never quite starts.
Shipping always wins
There is always a bug to fix or a customer call to take. The blog post you planned three weeks ago is still a title in your notes app.
A marketer costs months of runway
A full-time marketing hire in the UK costs around £3,000 a month before any tools. Most early teams need that money for the product.
Nobody has heard of you yet
No domain authority, no followers, no one searching your name. You have to be found for the problem people type into Google before they know you exist.
AI answers before you do
Early adopters now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI which tool to try. If your site doesn't explain clearly what you solve, the answer names someone else.
Monday you ship. By Friday, your marketing has shipped too.
It's Monday, you've just pushed a release, and nobody outside your team knows it exists.
You paste your website into cmo.so. Maggie reads it and writes your brand profile: what you build, who it's for, why you're different, who you compete with and how you sound. You fix the two lines she got wrong.
By Tuesday a week of drafts is waiting: a blog post on the problem you solve, a LinkedIn post about the release in your own voice and a Google Business update, each with a picture in your brand's look. You approve them on your phone between calls.
By Friday they're live on your website and your channels, each reported back with its link. Next week she does it again, and Search Console in cmo.so shows you which posts are starting to bring people in.
Your whole marketing team, from £15 a month
Each of those problems has an answer that keeps running while you build.
Your brand, researched in minutes
Enter your website and Maggie builds your brand profile: products, audience, unique selling points, SWOT, competitors and voice. Every post starts from it, and you can change any part.
Brand profileArticles that answer real searches
Blog posts written for Google and for AI answers, on the questions your buyers ask, published straight to WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow or any site through the cmo.so API.
Blog on autopilotEvery channel in its own style
One idea becomes a LinkedIn post, a Google Business update and, in beta, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok posts, each written the way that channel reads.
Social channelsPictures without a designer
Every post gets a picture in your brand's look, with a title and a line of text in your colours. Videos you upload can be posted too.
Picture looksApprove in a tap, or let it run
Approve posts in the iPhone app, the web app, or inside ChatGPT and Claude. Once you trust it, switch any channel to autopilot and pause it any time.

Check your brand
Correct anything she got wrong. Every post builds on it.
Approve your first week

Why not just…
The usual ways early teams try to get marketing done, and where each one runs out.
…hire a marketer?
Around £3,000 a month before tools, plus weeks of hiring and briefing. Maggie starts from your website today, from £15 a month.
…use a freelancer?
Good freelancers are booked up and bill by the piece. Maggie writes every week, for every channel, in the same voice.
…write it with ChatGPT?
You still brief it, edit it, make the pictures and post everything yourself. Maggie runs the whole loop and remembers your brand between posts.
…do it yourself?
It works until the next release or the next fundraise. With Maggie, marketing carries on through the weeks you can't look at it.

Marketing automation for startups: your questions
Still unsure?
What is marketing automation for startups?
It's software that does the repeating work of marketing for you: researching your audience, planning content, writing posts, making pictures and publishing on schedule.
With cmo.so, Maggie does all of it from your website, and nothing goes out until you approve it.
How much does cmo.so cost for a startup?
There's a free plan with no card needed. Paid plans are per website and billed monthly, starting with Air at £15 a month for two posts a day; Pro is for growing teams.
Founding members get lower prices for good on every plan until 1 January 2027. You can cancel any time.
Will the posts sound like us?
Maggie writes from your brand profile, which includes your voice, audience and the way you describe what you do. You can edit the profile and any post, and she learns from your changes.
Does it post without asking?
No. By default nothing goes out until you approve it. When you're happy, you can switch any channel to autopilot and pause it again at any time.
Which websites and channels does it work with?
Websites: WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, and any other site through the cmo.so API.
Channels: LinkedIn and Google Business, with Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok in beta. You can request a channel that isn't listed yet.
How soon will we see results?
Your brand profile and first drafts are ready within minutes of entering your website. Search traffic builds over weeks to months as Google and AI tools find your posts; Search Console in cmo.so shows what each post brings in.
Can AI replace a marketing hire at our stage?
For the daily work of writing, designing and publishing, Maggie does what a first marketing hire would spend most of their week on. You still set the direction and approve what goes out, and many teams keep using her after they hire, so their marketer can focus on strategy.
What happens to our data?
cmo.so never sells or rents your data. Search Console data is only used to show your own results and plan your content, never for advertising or to train AI models.
Your launch deserves an audience
Enter your website. Your brand profile and first week of posts are ready in minutes.
