Why We Ran This Experiment
Ever wondered if AI Content Performance can truly fly on LinkedIn without a human in sight? We did. A small marketing team. Zero manual writing. One week. The goal was simple:
- See if AI-only posts could match or beat our usual metrics.
- Understand what topics resonate.
- Test the limits of automation with CMO.so’s Maggie’s AutoBlog.
It’s a mash-up of real numbers and real chatter. No fluff. No “game-changing” spiel.
Setting Up the AI-Only Week
Here’s the gist:
- We picked our playground: LinkedIn.
- We used Maggie’s AutoBlog to auto-generate microblogs.
- Each microblog was proofread. That’s it—no deep edits.
- We scheduled seven posts, one per day, through Buffer.
To keep it tight, we defined:
- 100% AI-generated for wording.
- Minimal context prompts about our niche.
- Focus on bite-sized, practical advice.
We borrowed a leaf from a Buffer experiment by Tamilore Oladipo. But we dialled in on CMO.so’s AI to see real AI Content Performance in action.
Tracking the Metrics
Every marketer loves data. Here’s what we measured:
- Total impressions
- Total engagements (likes, comments, shares)
- Daily averages
- Engagement rate (interactions ÷ impressions)
- Best and worst posts
By the end of Day 7, our numbers looked solid.
Impressions and Engagement
- 10,412 total impressions
- 178 total engagements
- 1,488 average daily impressions
- 25 average daily engagements
That’s roughly a 1.71% engagement rate. For a week of pure AI? Not bad. It’s slightly above industry norms for LinkedIn.
Best vs Worst Posts
Our top performer talked about “3 quick steps to draft headlines that convert.”
- Impressions: 2,013
- Engagement rate: 3.2%
Our least engaging post tackled “future trends in AI-driven marketing.”
- Impressions: 856
- Engagement rate: 0.9%
Lesson? People want quick wins. They crave punchy tips, not abstract theory.
What the Numbers Tell Us
The data echoed one clear trend: actionable > abstract.
Even with minimal human tweaks, our AI posts stirred real conversations. Here’s why:
- Speed: We churned out a week’s worth of posts in under an hour.
- Consistency: No writer’s block. Our feed stayed active.
- Relevance: Microblogs zeroed in on our audience’s pain points.
Plus, we used Maggie’s AutoBlog filters to hide under-performers. That meant Google still indexed them, but your LinkedIn feed only saw the winners.
How CMO.so Beats the Rest
Sure, there are plenty of AI writing tools. But here’s why CMO.so stands out in AI Content Performance:
- No-code setup. Launch in minutes, not days.
- Automated performance filtering. Only top microblogs go live.
- SEO optimization baked in. Your posts serve search and social.
- Budget-friendly pricing for SMEs and startups.
Traditional platforms ask for manual tweaks. Others focus only on ads or long-form. But with CMO.so you get mass microblogs plus real-time SEO insights—without learning a line of code.
Another Angle: Cost vs Impact
We compared costs of hiring a freelance writer for seven posts vs our AI route:
- Freelance writer: ~£350–£500
- CMO.so subscription: ~£49–£99 per month
Result? We saved 80% on content creation. And we gained more eyeballs. That’s the real measure of AI Content Performance.
Lessons Learned
Here’s what worked:
- Bite-sized, actionable posts.
- Scheduling early in the week.
- Minimal but specific prompts.
- Trusting automation to handle the rest.
Here’s what tripped us up:
- Some AI posts felt generic without extra context.
- Abstract topics underperformed.
- Styling quirks: odd capitals, list repeats.
We’ll refine prompts and lean even harder on performance data next time. But one thing’s clear: AI can be your secret weapon.
Why You Should Care
If you’re a small team or solo founder, here’s the deal:
- You don’t need a full-time writer.
- You don’t need deep SEO expertise.
- You don’t need a six-figure budget.
All you need is the right tool. CMO.so’s AI microblogs give you an instant edge on LinkedIn and beyond. And the first steps? Dangerously simple.
Conclusion
This week-long test proved one thing: AI-only content can drive real engagement. With Maggie’s AutoBlog, you get automated SEO-driven microblogs, smart performance filtering, and a user-friendly dashboard. It’s the easiest way to boost your AI Content Performance without the overhead.
Give it a shot. See the metrics for yourself. You might just find your LinkedIn feed buzzing—without writing a single word.
