Seven roles a small business can't afford to hire — content, SEO, social, email, revenue, analytics, creative. All wired to one generator, all running right now. On real data, not headcount. Here's the drawing.
↑ Not a mockup of someone else's tool — the shape of a department that staffs itself. Six components run unattended; one (email) holds at the human gate.
Every node on the drawing is the same machine wearing a different hat. Get this loop right once and you can clone it across the whole department.
Your traffic logs, product feed, news in your niche, booking calendar. Never invented facts — this is what separates a department from a slop machine.
A small script (or agent) that turns that data into a page, post, email, or video. Idempotent, backed up, with a dry-run before anything ships.
A cron job. Content a few times a week, stats hourly, the newsletter every Friday. The department keeps its own hours — including the ones you're asleep for.
A quality score on everything, plus a human gate on anything that leaves the building. The machine drafts; you approve what matters.
Each is a salary a small business can't justify. Run as a pipeline, the whole set costs less than one of them.
Blog posts, landing pages, and buyer guides — in your voice, about your thing.
Built from a real data spine, not thin air. Publishes on a schedule and pings the search engines the moment a page goes live.
auto: data → generator → cron publish → IndexNow ping
Keeps every page findable and structured the way crawlers — and AI agents — expect.
Rebuilds both sitemaps, injects schema, and submits new URLs automatically. A quality scorer is the standing QA gate.
auto: sitemaps + JSON-LD + IndexNow, scored 90–100
Turns one thing you published into posts across every channel you're on.
The same content the writer just shipped gets reshaped per platform and queued — no separate calendar to babysit.
auto: one canonical post → fan-out to N channels
Writes the newsletter from the week's new pages and gets it to the line.
Stops one step short on purpose. It lands a draft in your inbox; nothing sends until you say so. The one seat that always waits for a human.
auto: new pages → templated draft → your approval → send
Earns from the traffic the rest of the department brings in.
Affiliate links and ad slots placed automatically and kept valid — dead links swapped, not left to rot. Spend decisions stay yours.
auto: link/ad injection + validate-or-replace
One dashboard that answers "is any of this working?" without a spreadsheet.
Built hourly from your real server logs — not a vanity widget. Real numbers, plainly shown, per page and per channel.
auto: access logs → stats JSON → live dashboard
Narrated video and images, made from the content you already have.
A neural voice narrates; visuals assemble; the clip publishes and embeds itself back on the page it came from.
auto: script → voice → assemble → publish → embed
The schedule is the manager. It runs the roster on time, every time, and only escalates the one thing that needs a person. That's the whole trick: automate the work, keep the judgment.
Automation isn't autopilot into a wall. Four things never ship without you — and that's the point of the amber callout on the drawing.
Not a 200-site empire — one shop. Here's the real footprint, drawn to the same spec.
A small cloud box. Holds the site, the scripts, and the schedule. The flat monthly cost is the ceiling — there's no per-post meter.
One per role on the drawing. Each reads your data and makes the thing. Written once, they run forever.
Content a few times a week, stats hourly, newsletter weekly, links nightly. The whole schedule fits on an index card.
After setup, the marginal cost of another post, another email, another video is essentially zero. That's the difference between hiring a department and building one.
SMB multi-channel agency programs typically start around $3,500–$5,000/mo — for a slice of an account team. Deptzy runs all seven seats for a flat $2,900/mo, with a human approving anything that ships.
Multi-channel programs typically start ~$3,500–$5,000/mo — and you're one logo on an account manager's list.
A fractional CMO sets strategy by the hour; every hand that executes it bills separately. You become the project manager.
AI writing and social tools run roughly $29–$299/mo apiece — and the operator gluing them together is still you.
