The tools don't write the blog. You do.
A keyword tool, an AI writer, an optimizer, a scheduler: $250 or more a month, and every one of them still needs you at the keyboard. For a small business blog, the stack is the problem. We replaced it with a service that does the actual work.
- Research, writing, and publishing in one subscription
- No prompts, no scores to chase, no copy-paste
- Hours back every single week
- One bill instead of four
What the typical stack costs, and what it still leaves you doing
| Tool category | Typical cost | What it does | What's still on you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keyword research tool | $99 to $130/mo | Tells you what to write | You still have to write it |
| AI writing assistant | $40 to $80/mo | Drafts when you prompt it | You prompt, fix, and fact-check every piece |
| Content optimizer | $90 to $120/mo | Scores what you wrote | You rewrite until the score is green |
| Scheduling and publishing | $20 to $50/mo | Moves it to your site | You format, upload images, and click publish |
| Update My SEO | $149/mo | Researches, writes, and publishes to your site on schedule | Reading the result, if you feel like it |
Tool prices are typical published ranges for each category, and the bigger cost was never the subscriptions: it's your hours. If you love running a stack, keep it. This page is for everyone who bought the tools and still has an empty blog.
From setup to autopilot in three steps.
No technical skills. No content calendar to manage. No writers to chase.
Connect your site
Tell us your URL. If you're on WordPress, GoHighLevel, Wix, or HubSpot, we connect to your existing blog. If not, we set up a hosted blog on your domain and walk you through the one DNS record.
Tell us about your business
What you sell, what you don't, who you compete with, and how you talk. This is what makes the writing yours.
Publish on autopilot
