Marketing routines
Marketing that recurs, without the retainer.
Marketing routines own the work that only pays off when it happens every week: SEO and answer-engine audits, social publishing, watching competitor pages for real changes, reviewing Loops lifecycle email, and distilling customer signals from Slack channels, Intercom or Plain conversations, and Granola meeting notes. Runs produce evidence-backed findings and channel-ready drafts, and anything that publishes goes through a tool you approved first.

Common questions
- Can a marketing routine publish on its own?
- Only through explicitly approved tools, such as Zernio MCP accounts you connect for social publishing. Everything else ends as a reviewable draft or a pull request.
- How is an SEO audit different from a crawler report?
- The routine explains the highest-value changes in priority order and can prepare a reviewable GitHub pull request, rather than exporting a list of every finding at equal weight.
- What does competitor monitoring actually report?
- Only meaningful changes — pricing, packaging, positioning, features — quoted exactly from the pages it watched. A week with no movement is one line, not a padded report.
