Why business consultants struggle to stay visible
When you are on an engagement, the client gets all of you, and your own marketing waits until the work runs out.
Busy on projects, invisible between them
During a six-month engagement you post nothing. When it ends, there's no pipeline, and the first month goes on coffees and catch-up calls instead of paid work.
“Consultant” says nothing
Thousands of people on LinkedIn call themselves business consultants. Without articles that show how you think, a managing director can't tell you apart from the rest.
Owners search for problems, not consultants
Business owners search “how to scale a service business” or “when to hire an operations manager”, and increasingly ask AI. If your answer isn't online, theirs comes from someone else.
Your best stories are confidential
The turnaround, the restructure, the pricing project that doubled margins. You can't name the client, so the story never gets told at all.
Your engagement ends in six weeks. The next client is already reading your posts.
You are three days a week inside a manufacturing client, helping them restructure their operations. It's going well, and it ends in six weeks. After that, your diary is empty.
You paste your consultancy's website into cmo.so. Maggie reads it and writes your brand profile: your work on operations, pricing and growth planning, the owner-managed firms with twenty to two hundred staff you work with, how your hands-on approach differs from the big firms and from generalist coaches, and your direct, practical voice. You correct one thing: you no longer run open workshops.
By Tuesday the drafts are waiting, each with a picture in your brand's look: an article on five signs a growing business needs an operations manager, a LinkedIn post on a lesson from the current project with the client unnamed, a client story about a pricing review written as “a family-owned distributor”, and a Google Business update for owners searching for a business consultant nearby. You sharpen the opening of the LinkedIn post and approve all four from the train.
The posts go out at the times you set for each channel and each one comes back with its link. By the time the engagement ends, you have six weeks of steady posts behind you, and Search Console in cmo.so shows which articles owners are finding.
Your thinking, published every week
Each of those problems has an answer, and you still decide what goes out under your name.
Articles owners search for
Practical posts on the problems your clients have, such as pricing, cash flow, hiring the first managers or planning a sale, written for Google and for AI answers. Published to WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Shopify or any site through the cmo.so API.
Blog on autopilotLinkedIn in your voice
Regular LinkedIn posts that sound like you, drawn from your articles and the lessons you share. Maggie learns from every edit, so they get closer to your voice each week.
LinkedInClient stories, kept confidential
Describe the problem and the result without the name, such as “a regional engineering firm”, and Maggie writes the story that way, so your best work can finally be shared.
Client storiesYour method, not a template
Enter your website and Maggie builds your brand profile: services, clients, unique selling points, SWOT, competitors and voice. Every post shows how you work, not what every consultant says.
Brand profileVisible while you are on site
Posts are written and queued weeks ahead, so your blog and LinkedIn keep going during a demanding engagement, and the pipeline isn't empty when it ends.
Steady pipelineApprove from anywhere
By default nothing goes out until you approve it. Swipe through drafts in the iPhone app or at app.cmo.so between meetings, edit a line, skip a post or pause a channel.
ApprovalsYour marketing team, in your pocket

From your consultancy's website to a steady flow of posts in four steps
Enter your website
Maggie reads it and drafts your consultancy's brand profile in minutes.
Check your profile
Correct your services and the clients you want more of, and choose your channels.
Review the drafts
Your first week of articles and posts arrives with pictures. Approve, edit or skip each one.
Let them go out
Approved posts go out at each channel's times and every one comes back with its link.
Why not just…
The usual ways business consultants try to keep new work coming, and where each one runs out.
…rely on referrals and networking?
They bring good clients, but they depend on your time and stop when you are busy on a project. Articles and posts keep working for you while you are on site.
…hire a ghostwriter?
A good ghostwriter often costs a few hundred pounds a month for a handful of posts, and still needs a call to learn each topic. Maggie keeps your brand profile and writes every week from £15 a month.
…pay a marketing agency?
SEO and content agencies often cost around £1,000 a month, which is a lot of billable days for a one or two person consultancy. Maggie covers your blog and LinkedIn for a fraction of that.
…write it with ChatGPT?
You still brief it, edit out the generic advice, make the picture and post it yourself. Maggie remembers your method and clients, and puts posts out on schedule.

Marketing automation for business consultants: your questions
Still unsure?
What is marketing automation for business consultants?
It's software that does the repeating work of marketing a consultancy: planning topics, writing articles and LinkedIn posts, making pictures and publishing them on schedule.
With cmo.so, Maggie does all of it from your website, and nothing goes out until you approve it.
How do business consultants get more clients online?
Business consultants get more clients online by showing how they think about the problems their clients have: regular articles that answer owners' questions, LinkedIn posts that share lessons from real work, and client stories that show results.
Maggie, your AI CMO, writes those posts every week and keeps them going while you are on an engagement, and Search Console in cmo.so shows which articles bring people to your site.
How much does marketing automation cost for a consultant?
There's a free plan with no card needed. Paid plans are per website and billed monthly: Air at £15 a month covers two posts a day, which suits most independent consultants, and Pro at £45 a month suits a consultancy posting on several channels.
Founding members get lower prices for good on every plan until 1 January 2027. You can cancel any time.
Which channels should business consultants start with?
Most consultants start with LinkedIn, where business owners and directors spend their working day, and their own blog, which holds the articles Google and AI answers can find.
Google Business helps if you serve a local area and owners search for a consultant nearby. Each channel has its own posting times and queue.
Is it safe to let AI write as me?
Yes, because nothing goes out until you approve it, and you can edit every word. Approvals are on by default for every channel.
Your LinkedIn connects through LinkedIn's official sign-in, so cmo.so never sees your password, and cmo.so never sells or rents your data.
Will the posts sound like me or like generic advice?
They start from your brand profile, which records your method, your clients and your voice, so they read as your view rather than general tips.
Maggie learns from every edit you make. The more you correct in the first weeks, the closer the drafts get to how you write.
How do I write about client work without breaking confidentiality?
Describe the situation and the result without anything that identifies the client, such as “a family-owned distributor with sixty staff”, and Maggie writes the story that way.
You approve every post before it goes out, so you can check nothing identifiable slips through.
Can it help me win more work after an engagement ends?
It helps by keeping you visible the whole time. Because posts are queued ahead and go out while you are busy, owners keep seeing your thinking during the engagement rather than after it.
Maggie doesn't send emails or contact prospects, so the enquiries still come to you through your website, LinkedIn or phone.
Can cmo.so help me appear in AI answers?
It helps by publishing clear, quotable answers to the questions owners ask, which is what AI answers draw on. No one can promise a mention.
AI visibility in cmo.so shows how Google's AI answers describe and mention your consultancy, so you can see what changes over time.
Can it promote my workshops, talks or a book?
Yes. Add the date and details and Maggie plans posts before and after it, for your blog and LinkedIn, and Google Business posts can carry an event with a button to your booking page.
She doesn't take bookings herself, so people register through your own page.
I work with associates. Can they approve posts too?
Yes. In Me → Team you can add people and choose what each can see or change, using presets such as editor or manager.
If an associate has their own website, add it to the same account with its own brand profile, channels and approvals.
Which websites does it work with?
cmo.so publishes to WordPress, Wix, Webflow and Shopify, and to any other website through the cmo.so API.
Each post is reported back with its link once it is live.
