Small agency owner asks: what's your real-world agent stack for business ops, reporting and client work?
icommstudios · reddit · 2026-09-12
A small web/digital-marketing agency owner is asking for firsthand experience: coding is solved with Claude Code, but he lacks a proper orchestrator for business ops. His automation wishlist: inbox triage and follow-up checks, CRM board hygiene, meeting recaps and prep packs, monthly client reporting (GA4, Search Console, SEMrush, Google Ads, GBP), SEO audits and competitor monitoring, copy QA, review-response drafts, social scheduling, and site alerts. About half is on-demand, the rest scheduled or event-triggered.
He asks five questions of anyone actually running this: one tool or several? How do you split scheduled/triggered vs on-demand work? Honest maintenance time? What did you drop and why? Can Claude Code with custom skills handle it without a separate orchestrator? No product pitches — firsthand setups only.
