A fractional CMO for Jacksonville — who also does the work.
Most fractional CMOs set strategy and hand it off. Most marketing managers execute without a strategy behind it. Swaha AI is built to be both, for one Jacksonville-based business at a time, for $2,000 a month.
See the cost comparison →Strategy, without the execution gap.
A fractional CMO sets the plan — the channels to invest in, the budget split, the quarterly priorities. The gap most Jacksonville businesses hit is what happens next: someone still has to build the content, run the campaigns, and manage the profile. Swaha AI closes that gap by doing both under one retainer.
Quarterly roadmap + monthly check-in
The CMO layer: what to prioritize, where budget goes, and how each channel is performing against the plan — reviewed with you, not just delivered as a slide deck.
Content, social, email, SEO/AEO
The marketing-manager layer: the roadmap actually gets built — social posts, email campaigns, blog/SEO content, and Google Business Profile management, every month.
Google, Meta, Local Services Ads
Paid-channel oversight is folded into the retainer — ad spend is billed directly by Google or Meta, never marked up by Swaha AI.
Plain-English, monthly, live
A marketing plan on the 1st and a plain-English report by the 5th, plus a live Command Center dashboard you can check anytime — the report a CMO gives a CEO, except always current.
Cheaper than the hire, not just cheaper than an agency.
The real comparison for a Jacksonville business isn't another marketing company — it's the hiring decision you haven't made yet.
