# AI automation for marketing agencies

WorkflowPal automates the recurring delivery work that caps agency growth: client reporting, client research and repeat tasks across Google Analytics, ad platforms, HubSpot, Slack and Google Sheets. A marketing agency automated 20+ hours a week of reporting and research, then took on 8 more clients without hiring.

## Where do agency teams lose the most time?

- **Monthly client reporting** assembled by hand from several platforms.
- **Client and competitor research** before every pitch, QBR and strategy call.
- **Senior people doing low-leverage work** instead of strategy and client relationships.
- **A capacity ceiling:** every new client means someone gets overloaded, or works weekends.

## What can AI automate for a marketing agency?

Agency workflows we automate:

| Workflow | Today | With automation | Plugs into |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Client reporting | Data pulled from each platform into slides or sheets | Data pulled, charted and summarized into your template for review | Google Analytics, ad platforms, Google Sheets |
| Client research | Hours of reading before each call | A cited research brief drafted for the account lead | Web, CRM, your notes |
| Recurring delivery tasks | Checklists done by hand every week | Routine steps run automatically; people handle the judgment calls | HubSpot, Slack, project tool |
| Status updates | Account managers write them from scratch | Drafted from project and performance data | Slack, email, Google Sheets |

Anything that goes to a customer, a candidate or a carrier, or changes a record, can wait for a person to approve it until you trust it.

## What results have agency clients seen?

- **20+ hrs/week**: of reporting and research automated (marketing agency) ([case study](https://workflowpal.com/case-studies/agency-reporting-automation/))
- **+8 clients**: taken on without hiring (marketing agency) ([case study](https://workflowpal.com/case-studies/agency-reporting-automation/))
- **10+ hrs/week**: back for each senior team member (marketing agency) ([case study](https://workflowpal.com/case-studies/agency-reporting-automation/))

The team stopped working weekends, and client retention improved. [Read the agency reporting case study](https://workflowpal.com/case-studies/agency-reporting-automation/).

## Will it work with our existing tools?

Yes. We build on the tools you already run (Google Analytics, ad platforms, HubSpot, Slack and Google Sheets), so nothing gets ripped out and your team has nothing new to learn. If a system has an API, an export or a shared inbox, we can usually work with it. The audit confirms this for your specific stack before you commit to anything.

## How do we start?

Request a [free workflow audit](https://workflowpal.com/free-workflow-audit/). Tell us how your delivery workflow runs. You get back a one-page plan: the 3 tasks worth automating first, hours saved, and what a build would cost. It takes about 15 minutes of your time, and there is no obligation to buy anything.

Prefer to talk first? [Book a 30-minute call](https://calendly.com/dan-workflowpal/30min).

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the output stay on-brand?

Yes. Reports and briefs are built from your templates and past examples, and a person on your team reviews them before anything reaches a client.

### Will clients know reporting is automated?

They will notice reports arrive on time with better commentary. What you tell them about how it is produced is up to you.

### Which platforms can it pull from?

The ones you report on today, typically Google Analytics, the major ad platforms and your CRM, plus Google Sheets for anything without a clean API.

### Do we need new tools?

No. The workflows run on the stack you already have, so there is nothing new for the team to adopt.
