Recurring marketing work that slips
Marketing teams know which checks matter. Titles that got too long after a redesign, a pricing page that still shows last quarter numbers, a blog post with a broken link to a deleted feature, a landing page that lost its meta description. The checks are simple and nobody runs them weekly because launches always come first. A scheduled AI agent runs them every week, compares the result with the previous run and reports only the regressions.
The same approach covers reporting. Instead of someone copying numbers from three dashboards into a deck every Monday, a cron pulls the data through an API, writes a short summary and drops it into Notion or a Google Sheet.
Marketing jobs worth scheduling
| Instruction | Schedule | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| Audit our 40 most important pages for title length, meta description, H1 and broken links, report only new problems | Every Monday at 7 AM | Slack marketing channel |
| Check every blog post published this month for outdated product names and prices | Every Wednesday at 10 AM | Google Sheets |
| Compare our pricing page copy with the plan table in our docs and flag mismatches | Every day at 6 AM | Slack, direct message to the page owner |
| Pull last week traffic and signups through our analytics API and write a five line summary | Every Monday at 8 AM | Notion weekly report page |
| Review new comments on our recent posts and list questions worth a reply | Every weekday at 3 PM | Slack |
| Draft social posts for new blog articles and hold them for review | Every Thursday at 11 AM | Approval queue, then the social channel |
The SEO audit agent template covers the first job out of the box, with memory so repeat findings stay quiet.
A time math example for content checks
Hypothetical example, not a measured result. Say a content marketer spends 3 hours every Monday checking key pages and another 2 hours assembling the weekly report. That is about 20 hours a month. If two crons do the checks and draft the report, and the marketer spends 45 minutes reviewing the output, the monthly total drops to about 3 hours. Your own numbers depend on how many pages you track and how detailed the report is.
A weekly audit of 40 pages with a headless browser uses a few browser minutes per run. Starter includes 60 browser minutes a month, so check the run log after the first week and move to Pro if you track hundreds of pages.
Controls before anything goes public
Marketing output is visible to customers, so public steps need a person in the loop. Any step that posts to a public channel, publishes content or emails your list can wait on an approval gate. The approver sees the exact text, approves or rejects it, and the run log records who did what and when.
- Approval gates on public posts and email sends
- Run log with every page checked, every finding and every retry
- Memory so known issues are not reported every week
- Dry run mode for testing a new audit before it alerts anyone
- Failure alerts by email or Slack
How to set up your first marketing cron
- 1Write the job in one sentence and list the pages to audit, or point the agent at your sitemap.
- 2Say exactly what counts as a problem, such as titles over 60 characters, missing meta descriptions, more than one H1 or links that return an error.
- 3Choose where results go. A short Slack message for new issues and a full Google Sheets table for the history works well.
- 4Run the audit once in dry run mode and compare the findings with what you know about the site.
- 5Turn on the weekly schedule and let memory keep known issues quiet.
Once the audit runs reliably, add the reporting cron. Teams that do both usually spend Monday mornings deciding what to fix rather than looking for what is broken.
Which plan fits a marketing team
A solo marketer with a few weekly audits and a report fits Starter, which allows 10 active crons, 300 runs and 60 browser minutes a month. A team of up to five that audits large sites, needs 300 browser minutes or wants to trigger crons from a publishing webhook should pick Pro. Agencies and larger teams that want approval rules per team and a one year run log choose Teams. Details are on the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
What does an AI SEO audit agent check?
Whatever you list in the instruction, typically titles, meta descriptions, headings, broken links, missing images, page speed signals and outdated text. It reads each page with a web fetch or headless browser step.
Will it report the same issue every week?
No. Memory stores what it found last run, so it reports new issues and fixed issues, and stays quiet about known ones unless you ask for a full list.
Can it publish posts automatically?
It can draft them and hold them behind an approval gate. Nothing goes to a public channel until someone on your team approves it.
Can it pull numbers from our analytics tool?
Yes, through an HTTP request step with stored credentials or an inbound webhook on Pro. The AI step then writes the summary.
Where do marketing reports end up?
In Slack, Gmail, Google Sheets, Notion or any webhook. Many teams send the short summary to Slack and the full table to a Google Sheet.
