Why outsourcing companies struggle to keep their marketing going

Your team spends every hour on client work: inboxes, calls, invoices and tickets. Telling the world what you do keeps sliding to next week.

Prospects don't know what to hand over

A founder buried in admin knows they need help, but not which tasks to outsource first or what it looks like day to day. If nobody explains it, they keep putting off the decision.

Trust is the real sale

You're asking a business to let your team into its inbox, its customers and its numbers. Prospects want to see how you onboard, keep data safe and handle a bad day before they sign.

You're compared on hourly rate

Freelance marketplaces and offshore listings put a price per hour next to your name and little else. Without your own content, your process, quality checks and account managers are invisible.

Your billable hours always win

Every hour your team could spend writing a post is an hour you could bill. So the blog stops, LinkedIn goes quiet, and new leads come only from referrals.

Your week with Maggie

Budget season starts next month, and your posts are already queued.

It's late August. Your team is covering holiday leave for three clients, and you know that in September business owners will be planning next year's budgets and wondering whether to hire or outsource. Your website hasn't said anything new since spring.

You paste your company's website into cmo.so. Maggie reads it and writes your brand profile: your virtual assistants, customer support and bookkeeping support, the founders and growing companies you work with, your onboarding process and quality checks, what sets you apart from freelance marketplaces, and the calm, organised way you talk to clients. You correct one thing: you've stopped offering overnight phone cover.

By Wednesday the drafts are waiting, each with a picture in your company's look: a blog post on the ten tasks a founder should hand over first, a guide to what happens in your first two weeks with a new client, a LinkedIn post from your operations lead on how your team handles a busy peak, and a Google Business update for local businesses searching for virtual assistant services. You approve three and add a line about your account managers to the fourth.

The posts go out through September at the times you set for each channel, and each comes back with its link. While your team is closing the month for clients, Maggie is already planning the posts for the Christmas rush, and Search Console in cmo.so shows which guides business owners are reading.

What you get with Maggie

A marketing assistant for the company that runs everyone else's admin

Each of those problems has an answer, and you still decide what goes out under your company's name.

Guides that make outsourcing feel easy

Posts on which tasks to hand over, how onboarding works, onshore versus offshore support and how to brief an assistant, written for Google and for AI answers. Published to your WordPress, Shopify, Wix or Webflow site, or any site through the cmo.so API.

Blog on autopilot

LinkedIn for founders and operations leads

Regular posts from you and your team on workload, hiring decisions and what good support looks like, written for the founders, office managers and operations directors who decide to outsource.

LinkedIn

Show your process, not just your rate

Maggie explains your onboarding, quality checks, account management and how you keep client information safe, so prospects can see why you're worth more than the cheapest listing.

Trust

Your services, in your words

Enter your website and Maggie builds your brand profile: your services, the clients you suit, what sets you apart, competitors and voice. Every post and picture starts from it.

Brand profile

Timed for when businesses decide

Posts are planned for the moments owners think about extra help: budget season, the new year, the run-up to Black Friday and Christmas, and the summer holiday cover gap.

Seasonal schedule

Approve without losing billable time

By default nothing goes out until you approve it. Check drafts in the iPhone app or at app.cmo.so in a few minutes, edit a line, skip a post, or let a channel you trust run on autopilot.

How it works

From your company's website to a steady flow of posts in four steps

  1. Enter your website

    Maggie reads it and drafts your company's brand profile in minutes.

  2. Check your profile

    Correct your services and hours, add the kinds of clients you want more of and choose your channels.

  3. Review the drafts

    Your first week of posts arrives with pictures. Approve, edit or skip each one.

  4. Let them go out

    Approved posts go out at each channel's times and every one comes back with its link.

Your other options

Why not just…

The usual ways outsourcing firms try to win clients, and where each one runs out.

…list on freelance marketplaces?

They bring enquiries, but they put you in a list sorted by hourly rate and keep the relationship on their platform. Content on your own website brings clients who choose you for how you work.

…pay for cold outreach?

Outbound campaigns can fill a calendar, but prospects check your website and LinkedIn before they reply. If those are quiet, the message lands flat. Maggie keeps both active every week.

…ask one of your assistants to do it?

Their hours are booked by clients, and marketing gets whatever is left. Maggie drafts from your brand profile, so someone only needs a few minutes to check and approve.

…pay a content agency?

SEO and content agencies often cost around £1,000 a month, which eats into the margin on several client accounts. Maggie writes and publishes every week from £15 a month.

Questions outsourcing companies ask

Marketing automation for outsourcing companies: your questions

Still unsure?

What is marketing automation for outsourcing companies?

It's software that does the repeating work of marketing an outsourcing or virtual assistant business: planning topics, writing blog and social posts, making pictures and publishing them on schedule.

With cmo.so, Maggie does all of it from your company's website, and nothing goes out until you approve it.

How do outsourcing companies get more clients online?

Outsourcing companies get more clients online by helping business owners picture the handover: clear guides on what to outsource, how onboarding works and how data is kept safe, plus steady LinkedIn posts that show the team behind the service.

Maggie writes those guides and posts every week, and Search Console in cmo.so shows which ones bring business owners to your site.

How much does marketing automation cost for an outsourcing company?

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, and Pro at £45 a month suits a company 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 outsourcing companies start with?

Most outsourcing companies start with LinkedIn and their own blog: LinkedIn reaches founders and operations leads, and the blog answers the searches they make before choosing a provider.

Google Business helps if you serve local businesses or have an office clients visit. Facebook and Instagram are in beta and can show your team and culture. Each channel has its own posting times and queue.

What kind of posts will Maggie write for an outsourcing company?

Practical posts that help a business owner decide: which tasks to hand over first, what a week with an assistant looks like, how to measure whether support is working, and how your onboarding and quality checks run.

She also writes LinkedIn posts from you and your team, and Google Business updates for local searches.

Can cmo.so explain how we keep client data safe?

It can explain the steps you describe on your website or in your brand profile, such as access controls, training and how you onboard a new client, in plain language prospects understand.

It writes from what you have described rather than adding certifications or claims, and you check every post before it goes out, so only what you actually do is published.

Does cmo.so connect to our clients' systems?

No, cmo.so doesn't connect to client inboxes, helpdesks or record systems. Maggie works only from your own website and brand profile, and publishes to your own channels.

So nothing your team handles for clients is used to write your marketing.

We serve clients in several countries. Can the posts reflect that?

They can. Your brand profile records where your clients are and where your team works, so Maggie can write for business owners in each market and explain time zones and cover hours clearly.

If you run separate websites for different markets, each can have its own brand profile, channels, schedule and approvals in one account.

How do we stop being compared only on price?

You stop it by showing what clients get beyond the hourly rate. Maggie writes about your process, your account managers, your quality checks and the problems you solve, so prospects compare the whole service.

Over time those posts give people a reason to contact you directly instead of picking the cheapest listing.

Is it safe to let AI post for our company?

It's safe because nothing goes out until you approve it. Approvals are on by default, and you can keep them on for every channel or let a channel you trust run on autopilot.

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.

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.

Can our team approve posts too?

Your team can approve posts too. In Me → Team you can add people and choose what each can see or change, using presets such as editor or manager.

So your operations lead can check posts about process while you look after LinkedIn.
