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.
