AI marketing agency
An AI marketing agency that keeps your people in charge
Your buyers now ask AI who to hire, and your team wants AI help that actually sticks.
What it is
An AI marketing agency uses AI inside the marketing work, builds websites that AI search tools and AI agents can read and use, and puts AI to work in its clients' own teams. MKTNG is an AI marketing agency in Sacramento, California, founded in 2015. We run that AI as ongoing work, with a person reviewing what it produces, so your people keep the work that needs them.
Key takeaways
- An AI marketing agency puts AI in three places: the marketing work itself, your website, and the daily work of your team.
- MKTNG is based in Sacramento, California, and has been since 2015. Most clients are service companies of roughly 15 to 150 people in construction and trades, professional services, real estate, and mission-driven work.
- AI takes the repetitive drafting and follow-up off your people. A person reviews what it produces before anything goes out, until you decide otherwise.
- The work continues after launch: workflows, what data each tool can see, human review, and updates as the models change.
- We measure what we control: how AI tools describe you before and after the work, how fast and accurate your site is, and where your leads come from.
An AI marketing agency puts AI to work in three places
The first place is the marketing work. AI drafts the follow-up email, the brief before a meeting, and the first pass at a page or a post, working from the facts and voice your company signed off on. A person edits and approves it.
The second is your website. Some of your next customers will ask ChatGPT or Google's AI answers who to hire before they ever visit your site. The site has to be easy for those tools to read, quote, and get right, and easy for an AI agent to use when it books a call or sends a message for the person it works for. That work is AEO, and making a site agent-ready is part of it.
The third is your team's own work. AI gets set up inside the workflows your people already run, connected to the data it needs and nothing more, with a person in the review step. Every agent we deploy starts by drafting, and more autonomy comes in stages, each one a decision someone on your team makes. Models change often, so someone has to keep the system current. We do that under a service agreement.
The point of all three is more time for the work only your people can do: the customer call, the estimate that needs judgment, the relationship with a long-time client.
How to tell an AI marketing agency from a tool subscription
Ask who does the work, what happens to your website, and who keeps the AI running after the first month. The answers sort most offers quickly.
| Question | AI marketing agency | Traditional marketing agency | AI tool subscription |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work? | Senior people, with AI drafting and a person reviewing every piece | People, mostly by hand | Your team, in whatever time they have |
| What happens to your website? | Built so AI search tools can quote it and AI agents can use it | Built for people and Google search | Outside the scope |
| Where does AI show up in your team's day? | In the workflows they already run, connected to the data each task needs | Usually outside the scope | One login per person, each one learning a slightly different version of your company |
| What does the AI know about your company? | One shared record that every tool and every page reads from | Whatever the account team keeps in its files | Whatever each person typed in |
| Who keeps it current? | The agency, under a service agreement, with a quarterly review | The agency, for the campaigns it runs | Whoever on your team has time |
What we do as an AI marketing agency
Each piece below can start on its own. Most clients begin with the one that costs them the most today.
AI inside the marketing work
Content, follow-up, meeting briefs, and proposals drafted by AI from your company's approved facts and voice. A person on your team or ours edits and approves every piece before it goes out.
AEO websites that AI can read
Fast pages written as answers to your buyers' questions, with consistent company facts and structured data, so AI search tools describe you accurately. We build these as AEO Websites.
Agent-ready access to your site
Markdown versions of your pages, discovery files that list what the site offers, and tools that let an AI agent send you a message or book a call.
AI deployed into your workflows
Agents and assistants set up inside the systems your team already uses, with clear rules for what data each one can see and a person approving each send. More on our AI implementation services page.
Groundwork, one record of your company
The structured record that your website, your team, and your AI tools all read from: what's true, how you talk, who you serve, what you won't say. A fact changes in one place.
Managed operation after launch
Monitoring, knowledge updates, new permissions as you grant them, and updates as the models change, under a service agreement with a monthly readout and a quarterly review.
How an engagement works
It follows the six steps on our how we work page.
- Working Session. One conversation with your team about where you want AI to take the company and what you're working with today. Where a website is in scope, we run the AI search baseline before we meet.
- Systems audit. We document the tools, data, and files your team uses, and where your people sit with AI today.
- Roadmap. A written plan for what gets built first, in what order, with a price for the first build.
- Foundation. We write Groundwork for the first department and launch the first build on top of it, in files you own.
- Managed operation. The system runs under a service agreement, and we review it with you every quarter.
- Customer success. A named owner on your side, role-based training for your team, and regular checks so drift gets caught early.

Questions we get
What is an AI marketing agency?
An AI marketing agency uses AI inside the marketing work, builds websites that AI search tools and AI agents can read and use, and sets up AI in its clients' own workflows. MKTNG does all three and keeps a person reviewing what the AI produces.
Is there an AI marketing agency near me in Sacramento?
Yes. MKTNG is an AI marketing agency based in Sacramento, California, founded in 2015. The team meets Sacramento-region clients in person and works with companies across Northern California and beyond.
How is an AI marketing agency different from buying AI tools?
A tool subscription gives each person a login. An AI marketing agency sets AI up inside your workflows, connects it to one shared record of your company, builds your website for AI search, and keeps all of it current as the models change.
Does working with an AI marketing agency mean a smaller team?
No. MKTNG uses AI to take repetitive drafting and follow-up off your team, and a person reviews everything before it goes out. Your people keep the customer work and the judgment calls.
Can an AI marketing agency get us recommended by ChatGPT?
No one can promise that. AI tools decide what to cite on their own, and they change often. MKTNG makes sure your site gives them a clear, current, accurate page to quote, and measures the change with the same AI search baseline before and after the work.
What kinds of companies does MKTNG work with?
Mostly service companies of roughly 15 to 150 people in construction and trades, professional services, and real estate, plus mission-driven organizations. Many are in the Sacramento region.
What happens after the AI is live?
It runs under a service agreement: monitoring, knowledge updates, new permissions as your team grants them, and updates as the models change. You get a monthly readout, a quarterly review, and a named contact at MKTNG.
