Marketing automation for churches and faith organisations
Your community does a lot more than most of your neighbours know: services, festivals, toddler groups, food banks, lunches and quiet support. Maggie, your AI CMO, writes the posts that tell them, for your website, Google Business and social channels, and someone you trust approves every one.

Why churches and faith organisations struggle to keep their news going
Most of the work is done by a minister or leader with too many roles and a handful of generous volunteers. The website comes after everything else.
The notice sheet doesn't reach new people
Everything is announced on Sunday or at Friday prayers, to the people already in the room. Newcomers, families who have just moved in and neighbours who might come to a carol service never see it.
The website still shows last Easter
Service times change, a new group starts, the hall gets a new kitchen. The website was set up by a volunteer years ago and nobody is quite sure how to update it.
Big festivals arrive suddenly
Christmas, Easter, Ramadan, Eid, Diwali, harvest and remembrance are the moments when more people look for a place to go. Posts about them are often written the week before, if at all.
People search before they visit
Someone looking for a church near them, a wedding venue or a parent and toddler group usually searches first. A Google Business profile with no recent posts makes it hard to know you're active and welcoming.

Advent is four weeks away, and the posts are already planned.
It's Monday at a parish church on the edge of a growing town. Advent starts in four weeks, the carol service and the Christmas Eve crib service need promoting, the new community café opens on Thursdays, and the website still lists a midweek service that stopped last year.
You paste the church's website into cmo.so. Maggie reads it and writes your brand profile: your services and who comes, your toddler group, food bank and community café, the hall you hire out, the weddings, baptisms and funerals you hold, and the warm, open way you talk about faith. You correct one thing: the Wednesday service is now on Thursday mornings, alongside the café.
By Tuesday the drafts are waiting, each with a picture in your church's look: a blog post on what to expect at a carol service if you've never been, a Google Business event for Christmas Eve with a button to your service times, a Facebook post inviting neighbours to the community café, and a post thanking the food bank volunteers. Your churchwarden checks the dates and you approve them all from your phone after the Monday meeting.
The posts go out at the times you set for each channel, spread through Advent, and each comes back with its link. Search Console in cmo.so shows which pages people find when they search for Christmas services nearby, and Maggie is already planning posts for the new year.
A helper who keeps your community's news going every week
Each of those problems has an answer, and your leaders still decide what goes out in your community's name.
Welcoming posts on your website
Posts on what to expect at a first visit, what happens at a baptism or wedding, your groups and your community work, written for Google and for AI answers. Published to your WordPress, Wix, Webflow or Shopify site, or any site through the cmo.so API.
Blog on autopilotEvery festival, planned ahead
Christmas, Easter, Ramadan, Eid, Diwali, Vaisakhi, harvest or the dates your tradition keeps. Posts are planned and queued weeks ahead, so neighbours hear about them in good time.
Festival calendarFound by people nearby
Regular Google Business posts keep your place of worship visible in local search, with events for services and activities and buttons that take people to your service times or contact page.
Google BusinessYour voice and your tradition
Enter your website and Maggie builds your brand profile: your tradition, services, groups, community work, who you serve and the way you speak. Every post and picture starts from it.
Brand profileOne notice, every channel
One idea becomes a post for each channel: Facebook and Instagram for your congregation and neighbours, YouTube for talks or music you've recorded (all in beta), LinkedIn for local partners and charities.
Every channelApproved by someone you trust
By default nothing goes out until someone approves it. Add your minister, administrator or a trusted volunteer in Me → Team, so the right person checks every post.

From your website to a season of posts in four steps
Enter your website
Maggie reads it and drafts your community's brand profile in minutes.
Check your profile
Correct service times and groups, add the festivals and events you keep and choose your channels.
Review the drafts
Your first week of 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 churches and faith organisations try to share their news, and where each one runs out.
…rely on the notice sheet and the noticeboard?
They reach the people who already come. Posts on your website, Google Business and Facebook reach the neighbours and newcomers who are searching for somewhere to belong.
…ask a volunteer to look after the Facebook page?
Volunteers are generous, but life gets busy and posting stops. Maggie keeps a steady schedule, and volunteers can still approve posts and add their own touch.
…leave it to the minister or leader?
They already carry pastoral care, services, meetings and the building. A few minutes approving drafts fits around that far better than writing every post from scratch.
…write it with ChatGPT?
You still brief it, check it, find a picture and post it yourself, and it doesn't know your services, groups or tradition. Maggie remembers your community and puts posts out on schedule.

Marketing automation for churches and faith organisations: your questions
Still unsure?
What is marketing automation for churches and faith organisations?
It's software that does the repeating work of sharing your community's news: planning posts around your services and festivals, writing blog and social posts, making pictures and publishing them on schedule.
With cmo.so, Maggie does all of it from your website, and nothing goes out until someone you choose approves it.
How do churches and faith organisations reach more people online?
Churches and faith organisations reach more people online by being easy to find when someone searches nearby: an active Google Business profile, clear service times and welcoming pages on their own website, and regular posts about what's happening.
Maggie writes those posts every week, queues them ahead of festivals and events, and Search Console in cmo.so shows which ones bring people to your site.
How much does it cost for a church or faith organisation?
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 congregations, and Pro at £45 a month suits a larger organisation 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 churches and faith organisations start with?
Most start with Google Business, because that's where people searching for a place of worship or a community group nearby decide, plus their own website for service times and welcome pages.
Facebook is in beta and suits congregations and neighbours, Instagram and YouTube are in beta too, and LinkedIn reaches local charities, schools and partners. Each channel has its own posting times and queue.
Is it appropriate to use AI for faith content?
It is appropriate when your leaders stay in charge of what's said, and cmo.so keeps approvals on by default. Maggie writes practical, welcoming posts about services, events and community life, and you edit or skip anything that doesn't sound right.
Maggie learns from your edits, so the tone gets closer to yours each time. Social channels connect through each platform's official sign-in, so cmo.so never sees your passwords, and cmo.so never sells or rents your data.
Does it work for mosques, temples, gurdwaras and synagogues as well as churches?
It works for any faith community with a website. Your brand profile records your tradition, festivals and the words you use, and posts are written to match.
If something isn't described the way your community would say it, correct it in the profile or in a draft, and Maggie learns from it.
Can it write sermons or teaching?
It isn't meant to, and we'd suggest it shouldn't. Teaching belongs to your leaders; cmo.so writes posts about it, such as an invitation to a series, a summary you've written or a talk you've recorded.
You can share your own words in a draft and Maggie turns them into posts for each channel.
Can it promote weddings, baptisms and hall hire?
It can write about what happens at a wedding, baptism, naming ceremony or funeral at your place of worship, and about your hall for parties, clubs and meetings, with buttons that take people to your contact page.
She doesn't take bookings or connect to a booking system, so enquiries still come to your office or administrator.
Can it help with our food bank, toddler group and community projects?
It can make sure your neighbours know about them. Maggie writes posts on when groups meet, who they're for, how to get involved and how to support a project, for your website, Google Business and Facebook.
It's a good way to show the wider community the practical side of your life together.
Can it help us find volunteers?
It can write regular, friendly posts about volunteer roles, from welcomers and café helpers to food bank drivers, and thank the people who already help.
People still get in touch through your website, email or office, as they do now.
Which websites does it work with?
cmo.so publishes to WordPress (including WooCommerce), Shopify, Wix and Webflow, and to any other website through the cmo.so API.
Each post is reported back with its link once it is live.
We're a group of churches or a diocese. Can cmo.so handle several?
Several websites can sit in one account, each with its own brand profile, channels, schedule and approvals.
If your churches share one website, Maggie can write posts for each congregation from the same brand profile, and each one's administrator approves them in Me → Team.
Let your neighbours know they're welcome
Enter your website. Your brand profile and first week of posts are ready in minutes, and nothing goes out until someone you trust approves it.
