Digital marketing: SEO, social media and email, with and without AI

Digital marketing for a small business is a set of tasks repeated every week: publishing pages that answer each market’s searches, running social media, writing to customers, answering questions, measuring what pays. Many of them can be automated without AI; AI helps where it saves time without lowering quality.

For each task, we say what can be automated without AI, what AI really adds, and what must still be reviewed by a person.
