Why social service organisations struggle to keep their communications going
Every hour spent on a post is an hour not spent with a family, a carer or a young person. So the website and social pages wait.
People can't find you when they need you
A carer searching late at night for respite support, or a parent looking for help after a difficult diagnosis, finds a national website or a forum, not the local service ten minutes away that could actually help.
Referrers forget what you offer
GPs, school staff, social workers and housing officers refer people when they remember you. When your groups, drop-ins and eligibility change and nobody posts about it, the referrals slow down.
Funders want to see your work
Commissioners and grant funders look at your website and LinkedIn before a bid or a renewal. A news page that stopped two years ago makes a busy, effective service look quiet.
Sensitive stories are hard to tell
You can't share the people you support or the details of their lives, and nobody has time to turn the work into careful, anonymous posts that still feel real.

Carers Week is coming, and your posts are already written.
It's Monday at a family and carers support service. The new peer support group starts next month, you need volunteers for the summer, and Carers Week is three weeks away. Your website still lists last year's timetable.
You paste your website into cmo.so. Maggie reads it and writes your brand profile: your carers' groups, your young carers' sessions, the drop-in at the community centre, the areas you cover, who can refer, and the calm, plain way you talk to people who are already stretched. You correct two things: the Thursday drop-in moved to the library, and you add a house rule that no post may name or describe a person you support.
By Tuesday the drafts are waiting, each with a picture in your organisation's look: a blog post explaining who can use the carers' service and how to self-refer, a Google Business update about the new group with a button to your contact page, a Facebook post asking for summer volunteers and a LinkedIn post for local GPs and schools on what you offer this term. You approve three and soften the wording of the fourth.
The posts go out at the times you set for each channel and come back with their links. While your team is running sessions, Maggie is already planning the Carers Week posts, and Search Console in cmo.so shows which help pages people are finding.
Clear communications for your service, without taking staff away from people
Each of those problems has an answer, and a person on your team still decides what goes out in your organisation's name.
Plain answers to “how do I get help?”
Blog posts on who your services are for, how to refer or self-refer and what to expect at a first session, 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 autopilotFound in your area
Regular Google Business posts keep your centre or drop-in visible to people searching for support near them, with events such as a coffee morning and buttons that take people straight to your contact page.
Google BusinessYour house rules, checked first
Turn on Content Policy Guard with your own rules, such as never naming a service user or describing a safeguarding case. A risky post is held as a draft with a suggested rewrite. These are AI suggestions, not legal or compliance advice.
Content Policy GuardOne update, every audience
One idea becomes a post for each channel in its own style: Facebook for local families and volunteers (in beta), LinkedIn for commissioners, funders and partner agencies, Google Business for people nearby.
Every channelYour voice, kind and clear
Enter your website and Maggie builds your brand profile: your services, who you support, your area, what makes you different, and the careful voice you use. Every post and picture starts from it.
Brand profileA person approves every post
By default nothing goes out until someone on your team approves it. Review drafts in the iPhone app or at app.cmo.so, edit a line, skip a post, or pause a channel during a difficult week.

From your website to a steady stream of service updates in four steps
Enter your website
Maggie reads it and drafts your organisation's brand profile in minutes.
Check your profile
Correct your services, area and referral routes, add your house rules 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 social service organisations try to keep their communications going, and where each one runs out.
…ask a frontline worker to post when they can?
They can, until caseloads rise, and then posting is the first thing to go. Their time is better spent with the people you support. Maggie writes ahead and keeps the schedule going.
…rely on the council directory and partner websites?
Directories list your name and a phone number, often out of date. Your own website and Google Business profile can explain who you help, how to refer and what's on this month.
…hire a communications officer?
A full-time marketing hire in the UK costs around £3,000 a month before tools, which is hard to justify against frontline posts. Maggie writes and publishes every week from £15 a month.
…write it with ChatGPT?
You still brief it, check it, make the picture and post it yourself, and it doesn't know your services, area or house rules. Maggie remembers your organisation and puts posts out on schedule.

Marketing automation for social service organisations: your questions
Still unsure?
What is marketing automation for social service organisations?
It's software that does the repeating work of communicating about a social service: planning topics, writing blog and social posts that explain your services, making pictures and publishing them on schedule.
With cmo.so, Maggie does all of it from your organisation's website, and nothing goes out until a person on your team approves it.
How do social service organisations reach more people who need support online?
Social service organisations reach more people online by being easy to find at the moment someone looks for help: clear pages on who you support and how to refer, an active Google Business profile, and regular posts that referrers and families see.
Maggie writes those posts every week from your brand profile, and Search Console in cmo.so shows which help pages bring people to your site.
How much does marketing automation cost for a social service 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 single services, and Pro at £45 a month suits an 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 social service organisations start with?
Most start with their own website for clear help pages, Google Business for people searching for support nearby, and LinkedIn for commissioners, funders, GPs and partner agencies.
Facebook is in beta and often suits local families, carers and volunteers. Each channel has its own posting times and queue, and one idea can become a post for every channel.
Is it safe to use AI for a service that supports vulnerable people?
It is safe when a person on your team reviews every post before it goes out, which is how cmo.so works by default. You can also turn on Content Policy Guard with your own house rules, and a post that may break them is held as a draft with a suggested rewrite.
Content Policy Guard gives AI suggestions, not legal or compliance advice. A qualified person should still review each post, and your organisation stays responsible for what it publishes.
Do we need to share information about the people we support?
You don't need to share any. Maggie works from your public website and the brand profile you check, and cmo.so does not connect to case management or client record systems.
cmo.so never sells or rents your data, and Search Console data is never used for advertising or to train AI models.
How can we share impact without telling personal stories?
You can share impact through what you do rather than who you do it with: the groups you run, the questions people often bring, what a first visit looks like and the difference a service makes in general terms.
You can tell Maggie, your AI CMO, which kinds of stories are off limits and she writes within them. You can also add that rule to Content Policy Guard so a post that crosses it is held back.
Can cmo.so help us recruit volunteers?
It can help volunteers find you and understand the role. Maggie writes posts about what volunteering with you involves, the training you give and the difference it makes, for Facebook, LinkedIn and your website.
Applications still come to you through your own form, phone or email.
Will posts help with funding bids and commissioning?
They help funders and commissioners see an active, well-run service. Regular posts on your website and LinkedIn about your services, partnerships and events give them something current to look at.
cmo.so doesn't write bids or promise funding outcomes; it keeps your public communications steady while your team does the work.
Can posts go out for awareness weeks and new groups?
They can, as long as you add the dates to your brand profile or tell Maggie about them in advance. Posts for awareness weeks, new groups and holiday opening times are written ahead and queued.
You can pause a channel at any time, for example if a session is cancelled or a difficult event affects your community.
Can different services in our organisation have their own pages?
Yes. If each service has its own website, add them all to one account and each gets its own brand profile, channels, schedule and approvals.
If they share one website, Maggie can plan posts for each service from the same brand profile.
Can managers and trustees 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.
So a service manager can approve posts about their groups while the communications lead looks after the whole schedule.

Enter your website. Your brand profile and first week of posts are ready in minutes, and nothing goes out until a person on your team approves it.
