Okara AI CMO: Run Your Whole Marketing From One Tool

Okara is an AI CMO that runs SEO, GEO, content, Reddit and social as coordinated agents - from one dashboard, for $249/mo. Here's what it does and who it's for

Okara is an AI CMO: a single tool that runs the work of a full marketing team — SEO, AI-search (GEO), content, Reddit, and social — as coordinated agents that draft everything for your approval. It's built for founders and small teams who need consistent marketing execution without hiring, starting at $249/month.

AI has made it easier than ever to build a product. In the last two years, teams have gone from idea to launch in weeks. But here is the problem nobody talks about: building is the easy part now. Distribution is not.

We built CMO because great marketing should not be a privilege. It should be the default.

Hire your CMO now

If you're still deciding whether this category fits your stage, start with what an AI CMO actually is and how it compares to a fractional CMO or a marketing hire.

What CMO does

CMO is not a dashboard or a report. It is an agent that works. Every day, it runs 7 specialized agents in parallel across every channel that matters for growth.

SEO Agent

Okara SEO Agent audits your site, identifies what is holding back your rankings, and surfaces exactly what to fix.

GEO Agent

Monitors how AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude describe your brand. The Okara GEO Agent then helps you show up better in the places your customers are increasingly searching.

The research case for this is real: the Princeton-led GEO study (KDD '24) found that optimizing content for generative engines can lift visibility in AI answers by up to 40%.

AI Writer

Writes SEO articles, landing pages, and product copy targeting the keyword gaps your competitors are already winning.

Reddit Agent

Finds relevant conversations happening right now and drafts replies that contribute genuinely and drive real traffic back to you via the Reddit Agent.

Hacker News Agent

Writes the posts and helps you show up at the right moment.

And many more...

All of it running together, every day, so growth compounds rather than stalls.

The Reddit Agent is the one most people try first - here's how we think about Reddit without getting banned, and you can see what the agent does in more detail.

Why this matters

A full-time marketing hire costs at least $5,000 per month. Add freelance SEO, content, and social, and you are looking at $8,000 to $13,000 per month. That is $60,000 to $156,000 per year, and even a great team cannot monitor AI search results, run every channel simultaneously, and work without interruption.

CMO costs $249 per month, $2,490 per year.

We are not claiming it replaces human creativity or judgment. But for work that is consistent, research-heavy, and time-consuming, CMO does it better and faster than any team we have seen. We think that is worth something significant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI CMO?

An AI CMO is software that plans and runs marketing execution across channels the way a Chief Marketing Officer's team would — SEO, content, AI-search visibility, and social — without hiring for each function. It handles the repeatable execution layer; strategy and brand judgment stay with you. Okara runs seven such agents for $249/month.

What does Okara's AI CMO actually do each day?

It runs seven agents in parallel: the SEO Agent audits your site and surfaces ranking blockers, the GEO Agent tracks how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude describe your brand, the AI Writer drafts articles and landing pages against keyword gaps, and the Reddit and Hacker News Agents find live conversations and draft replies. Every output waits for your approval before it publishes.

How much does Okara's AI CMO cost?

$249 per month, or $2,490 per year. That covers all agents with no per-agent charge and no usage-based billing. There's a free plan with limited credits and no credit card required, so you can test it before paying.

Does Okara publish anything without my approval?

No. Every agent drafts, and you approve. Nothing posts to Reddit, your blog, or any social account until you've reviewed it. That human-in-the-loop step is deliberate - on Reddit especially, auto-posting is the fastest route to a ban.

Can an AI CMO replace a marketing hire?

It replaces much of the execution throughput of a small team, not the strategy or judgment of a leader. If your gap is getting marketing consistently done, an AI CMO closes it. If your gap is knowing what to do, you need a strategist — many teams pair a fractional CMO for direction with Okara for execution.

Who is Okara's AI CMO built for?

Founders and teams of one to five who need consistent marketing output and can't justify $60,000–$156,000 a year on a marketing team. It's a poor fit if you need brand strategy, investor narrative, or paid media management — those still need a human.
