  1. A new post is ready: “Tank or tankless: what it costs to switch in Fremont.” It goes live Wednesday on brightline.example/blog, then to Facebook, Instagram and your Google profile. OK to post?

  2. YES

  3. Anything new?

  4. One new lead from your website: Maria in Fremont wants a tankless install quote. Her number is in your leads.

Example texts with Brightline Plumbing, a fictional business.

You run the jobs. We keep you posting.

  1. Text us your website

    We learn your services, towns and hours, and you approve the facts once.

  2. Connect your blog and socials

    Connect your WordPress site with our plugin, then the social accounts you want posts to go to.

  3. Approve by text

    As each post is ready we text it to you. Reply YES and it’s published and shared, or tell us what to change.

Customers now ask ChatGPT who to call.

AI assistants answer from what they can read about you. If your hours, services or towns are missing or out of date, the call goes to someone else. A blog with current articles about the work you do gives them something correct to read. See what they say about you today with the free report.

My water heater just burst. Who can replace it today in Fremont?

A few licensed plumbers locals recommend. Brightline Plumbing installs tank and tankless heaters across Fremont, Hayward and Union City, and offers upfront pricing.1 Their emergency line is open weekdays only2, so for a burst tank tonight Bayside Rooter or a 24-hour service may be faster.

One thing, done every week: your blog and social posts.

Your blog, written and published for you

Helpful articles about the jobs you do, in your voice and drawn only from facts you approved. They go live on a schedule, so customers, Google and AI assistants find something current about you.

  • We set up a fast blog at blog.yourdomain.com for you, and you can move it to WordPress anytimePlanned
  • Or use your own WordPress site, and we publish there with our plugin
  • Every fact in an article traced back to one you approved

How blogging works

Every article shared to your social accounts

Each article becomes a post written for each network and spread across the week, on the accounts you connect.

  • Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky and your Google Business Profile
  • A version made for each network, not the same link six times
  • Scheduled at sensible times, waiting for your OK or a standing rule
  • Connect your accounts in a couple of taps

How blog + social works

Run it all by text

No app to install and no dashboard to learn. We text you each draft and you reply YES, NO or what to change. Ask what came in today and get a plain answer.

  • Get set up in a text thread: your business, your website, your first plan
  • Approve a post by replying YES
  • Works in iMessage, with plain texts for everyone else
  • Steps that need a computer come as a one-time link
  • A Monday plan and a Friday results text

How texting works

A blog and social feeds that keep up while you’re on the job.

The ingest.blog autopilot, built in. Helpful articles about the work you do, published on schedule and turned into posts for every channel. How blogging works

  1. Analyze your market

    A free look at your local competitors, the towns you serve, and the questions homeowners and businesses ask before they hire someone like you.

  2. Set the plan

    Your services, service area and seasons become an editorial calendar. Approve it or adjust it from your phone.

  3. Publish everywhere

    Articles go live on your site on schedule, and posts go out to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and your Google Business Profile at the same time.

  4. Measure and repeat

    Traffic, rankings, AI answers and engagement flow back in. What brings in work gets more, what doesn't gets dropped.

What would it cost to do this yourself?

Move the sliders to your own numbers, or your office manager’s, and compare the hours with a plan’s price.

Writing in-house, 40 h/month$2,000

Blog$145

Difference per month$1,855

Your numbers, not ours: this compares writing time at your rate with the plan’s price. You still review and approve what’s published. Launch pricing isn’t final.

Two plans. Approve everything by text.

Autopilot, with you holding the keys.

Nothing goes out without you

Every article and social post waits for your OK by text or in the app. Turn on autopilot per kind of post, with limits, when you're ready.

Every claim has a source

Articles can only state facts you've approved, and each one links back to where it came from.

No fake anything

No invented reviews, quotes, stats or accounts. Customer stories and photos are used only with the customer's consent.

No cold calls or texts

We text you, and only people who opted in. Ingest Cloud never cold-calls or cold-texts anyone on your behalf.

Built for licensed professions

Law and accounting firms get copy checked against advertising rules: no promised outcomes, required disclaimers, and no soliciting people in distress.

We show what we measure

No one controls what Google or AI engines show. We publish, track what changes, and report it.

Questions

How do I get in?

Owners get in by invite for now. Go to the top of this page: if our text number is shown there, text START to it from your phone, with an invite code if another owner or a partner gave you one, and you're set up in that thread. If it isn't shown yet, request an invite there to hold your place on the waitlist. We never text a number someone typed into a form, so a place held on the web is picked up when you text us from that number. Agencies and teams can sign up on the web.

Do I need an app?

No. Ingest Cloud is built to run by text from your phone's messages app: you answer a few questions to get set up, approve a post by replying YES with the short code we send, and ask what went out this week. When a step needs a computer, like connecting WordPress or your social accounts, ask and we text you a one-time link for it. There's also a web app, with email and password or single sign-on, for agencies and teams.

What do I get?

Helpful blog articles about the work you do, written in your voice from facts you approved, published to your WordPress site on a schedule. With Blog + Social, each article is also turned into posts for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky and your Google Business Profile and spread across the week. You approve by text.

Where does my blog live?

Today, on your own WordPress site: install our plugin and we publish there. If you don't have a blog yet, we'll set up a fast blog at blog.yourdomain.com for you, with nothing for you to maintain, and you can move it to WordPress anytime with a full export. That is planned and not available yet.

Which social accounts can it post to?

Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky and your Google Business Profile: whichever ones you connect. Each network gets a version written for it, scheduled at a good time for that network.

Does it work with iMessage?

Yes. On an iPhone our texts arrive in iMessage. On other phones they arrive as regular texts, with the same steps. Reply STOP at any time and we stop texting you.

How much does it cost?

Blog is $145 a month. Blog + Social is $495 a month. These are the same two plans and prices as ingest.blog. Both start with 30 days free, cancel anytime before day 30: we take a card when you start, charge nothing for 30 days, and on day 21 and day 27 we email you (and text you, once your mobile number is added) the date of the first charge with a one-tap cancel link. One free trial per business. Launch pricing isn't final and may change before general availability.

I run a plumbing (or roofing, or cleaning) company, not a tech startup. Is this for me?

Yes. We built Ingest Cloud first for local service businesses and professional firms: plumbers, roofers, contractors, HVAC and electrical, landscapers, janitorial companies, CPAs and law firms. You don't need a marketing team. Tell it about your business once, and approve what it writes from your phone.

How much of my time does it take?

Setup is texting us your website and checking the facts we pull from it, then connecting your WordPress site and social accounts. After that, most owners spend a few minutes a week replying to texts. You can let routine posts go out on their own, with limits.

Will you get me more calls, or the top spot on Google Maps or ChatGPT?

Nobody can honestly promise that, and we won't. We keep your blog and social accounts current and show you what went out and how your blog's visits change. To see what Google and AI assistants say about you today, run the free report on this page.

We're a law firm (or CPA firm). What about advertising rules?

Copy for law and accounting firms is checked for promised outcomes and missing disclaimers, and quotes need the professional's approval. Your firm still owns final review under your state's rules.

What happened to ingest.blog?

It's now part of Ingest Cloud, with the same two plans. Existing setups keep generating and publishing posts and social updates, and the posts now draw on everything Ingest Cloud knows about your business.

Does Ingest Cloud do anything else?

Yes. Outbound email to past customers and referral partners, local press, an AI receptionist, AI visibility tracking and agency accounts are on the More from Ingest Cloud page. They aren't part of the Blog and Blog + Social plans.
