30-Day Implementation Plan

  1. Week 1 — Scope and first core tool

    1. Scope a single paid ads workflow for marketing agencies before adding tools.
    2. Use a web UI like DreamStudio or install locally

  2. Week 2 — Core stack live

    1. Install Wordtune browser extension or use online editor

  3. Week 3 — Measure and add supplementary

    1. Once core workflows run reliably, add tools such as Wordtune, Metricool, Deep Dream Generator for automation and reporting.

  4. Week 4 — Decide keep / cut / swap

    1. Track time saved on one paid ads workflow for marketing agencies for 7 days. Downgrade or remove tools with no measurable ROI.
    2. Document the final stack in Notion: core order, integrations, and manual override SOP when automation fails.
