The agency model is broken. We're fixing it.

Every marketing agency — including how ours has always worked — runs your requests through a relay of people. Things get lost in translation, time is lost, and you pay for the rounds. CI Web Group is removing the middle layer with AI agents you'll talk to directly in Slack.

The problem with every agency

It's the telephone game — with your money.

You're given an account manager — your single point of contact. Their job is to take your requests, translate them into tasks, coordinate the team, and report back. They're good people doing a hard job. But they're also a relay point. You get on a meeting, ask for work on your website, and it gets assigned through a project-management system or helpdesk to multiple people across the team.

Every time information passes from one person to the next, something is lost in translation. Time disappears. You get rounds of changes, and meetings just to get clarity. This is true at every agency — ours included. So we're fixing it.

    You ask for a change — on a call, in an email.

  2. Hop 2

    Writes it up and translates it into a task.

  3. Hop 3
    PM system / helpdesk

    Routes and queues it across the team.

  4. Hop 4

    Interprets the brief and mocks it up.

  5. Hop 5
    Developer

    Builds what they think was asked.

  6. Hop 6
    SEO / QA

    Reviews, flags issues, sends it back.

  7. Hop 7
    Back to you

    Days later — often not quite right. Round two.

How we're fixing it

Four moves to remove the middle layer.

Late 2026

You subscribe to the agents

Open Slack, ask for a change, and the agents do the work themselves — reporting back in seconds. The middle layer disappears.

The end state

Ask in Slack. Done in seconds.

No meeting. No ticket. No queue. You open Slack, ask for a change to your website in plain English, and the agent goes and makes it — then reports back that it's done, often in seconds.

What they do

You ask. The work gets done.

New pages & landing pages

Need a landing page or a new city page? Just ask — they spin it up and ship it live.

Blog content

On-brand blog posts, researched, written, published, and optimized for AI search.

SEO & metadata

Title tags, meta descriptions, internal links, and schema — updated continuously.

Featured images

Generate on-brand featured images for every post and page.

Promotions

Spin up, schedule, and update seasonal promotions across the site.

Press releases

Draft and publish press releases that build authority and citations.

Strategic advice

Real strategy grounded in your data — not generic templates or a chatbot.

Performance insight

Read Search Console and Google Analytics to find what's working and double down.

Why it's not live yet

The tech works. Trust takes time.

The agents can already do the work. What we're still building is the part that protects you — so we're doing this carefully, not fast.

  • Teaching you to talk to agents

    We're helping clients learn to prompt and communicate with agents clearly, so you get exactly what you intend.

  • Guardrails & harnesses

    We're building the safety rails so that if a request could hurt your business, performance, or brand, the agent recognizes it.

  • Agents that push back

    An agent should be comfortable explaining why it shouldn't make a change — not blindly doing damage. That judgment takes training.

  • Beta, then rollout

    We're beta-testing now and rolling this out toward the end of 2026 — only when it's genuinely safe in your hands.

What you're really getting

A full-time, in-house team — without the hiring.

It's like having a full-time team of marketers in house who are the most skilled at everything that moves the needle — for a fraction of a single salary.

What it will cost

A fraction of one hire.

Pricing scales with how much you use the agents — measured against the cost of one full-time employee (FTE). Pick your usage level:

~25%
of one full-time employee

Regular updates and a steady content cadence — roughly a quarter of one FTE.

What they touch — and what they don't

Marketing data in. Your back office stays yours.

They have access to
  • Hydra — your entire website and content database
  • The Central Intelligence engine
  • Synapse — our trades-industry data lake
  • Google Search Console
  • Google Analytics
They never touch
  • Your CRM
  • Your financial or banking data
  • Your dispatching or booking systems
