You're still doing
manually what should run itself.

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform. It replaces Zapier, Make, and most custom backend glue code. We use n8n because it is self-hosted, handles long-running jobs, and gives clients full ownership of the logic with zero vendor lock-in.

Three named packs: Lead Pipeline (form-to-follow-up with enrichment and routing), Content Engine (brief-to-publish with brand-voice QA and schema), and Ads Optimizer (daily Google Ads audit with pause/scale recommendations). Plus custom workflows specific to your business. Clients typically run 8-15 workflows total.

Yes. Full access to your n8n instance with the workflows exported as JSON, on request or on exit. There is no shared-stack lock-in tier — every build is deployed for the client that owns it.

Self-hosted n8n as the orchestration layer, a zero-retention AI layer for reasoning, local models for execution-heavy tasks, a vector store for brand memory, Postgres for state, Redis for queues, and observability on top. Deployed to your own cloud on the larger builds.

Every workflow runs through a cost guardian sub-workflow that enforces per-client daily limits. The system cuts off at the limit and alerts the founder. We also run a circuit breaker that watches cost, CPA, and ROAS anomalies and pauses spending if something breaks.

A full-time marketing automation engineer is a six-figure annual hire plus tooling and benefits, with a hiring cycle before anything ships. This is scoped and quoted per build, and the systems are battle-tested across other builds before they reach yours.

Yes. n8n has native integrations with 400+ tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, Segment, Sanity, Google Ads, Meta Ads, ClickUp, Notion, Slack, Gmail, Linear). Anything else we build a custom node for. Most integrations take 1-3 days to deploy.

You keep everything. Workflows exported as JSON, docs written, handover call scheduled. Zero lock-in. We would rather lose a client because they outgrew us than because they felt trapped.

GEO needs constant content production, citation tracking, and authority signal work. Doing it manually is expensive and slow. n8n orchestrates the generation, QA, publishing, and weekly citation tracking across AI engines in the background. The automation layer is what makes the GEO program economically viable.
