The problemPaying an agency every month, still few leads, and nobody can say why.
In shortAI digital marketing from Pixel & Oak means AI agents do the research, writing, ad checks and reporting, and founder Haider Ali approves anything that goes public or spends your money. It suits small businesses that want SEO, content, ads and social without a full agency. Plans start at $1,500 a month, beginning with a 90-day plan.
An AI digital marketing agency should cost less and tell you more. Too often it is the opposite: a high monthly fee, few leads, reports full of impressions, and a contract that is hard to leave. We work differently. Pixel & Oak is one person, Haider Ali, our founder and CEO, directing a team of AI agents, and every account stays in your name.
The agents do the research, keyword analysis, drafting, design, scheduling and reporting. Haider sets the plan, checks the work, and approves anything that goes public or spends your money. Much of the work agencies bill for is research, first drafts and assembling reports, and agents now do that quickly. What they cannot do is take responsibility, so every piece of work has a named person who signed it off.

Already have a website? Start with a free AI visibility audit: send your domain and get a one-page report within two working days, with the first three fixes in order.
Owners who come to us have usually lived through at least one of these.
The fee goes out, the phone stays quiet, and reports full of impressions cannot tell you whether to keep marketing or cut it.
What we doA monthly plain-English report from your own Search Console, GA4 and ad accounts: what was done, what moved, what did not, and what changes next month.
Leaving means rebuilding the website and losing campaign history and listings, so the cost of switching keeps you paying.
What we doAd, analytics, social and email accounts stay in your name. We are added as users you can remove at any time, and every file we make, source files included, belongs to you.
Months of extra fees with nothing to show for them, and long calls on hold just to cancel.
What we doOur monthly plans run month to month with no long-term contract. Because the accounts are already yours, leaving costs you nothing but the notice to stop.
Ad money goes to markups and untested changes, often with pressure to spend more on campaigns that are not converting.
What we doYou pay Google or Meta directly and we never mark up ad spend. You approve the plan and any spend increase, and Haider approves every budget and targeting change.
Hours spent re-explaining your business, work that stalls, and knowledge that walks out the door with each person.
What we doThere is no account-manager layer. The person who approves your work is the person you talk to, and weekly updates show what was done.
You pay agency-era fees for tool output that sounds like every other business, with no way to tell what the AI did and what a person did.
What we doOur agent table below shows which work AI does and what a person checks. Drafts come from research on your own customers and are edited by a person before you see them.
We would rather tell you now than take the project and disappoint you.

Worth knowing: Most "AI marketing" means a tool that produces more posts and articles, faster. Volume is rarely what a business is missing. We use the agents to do the slow parts properly, such as research, fact-checking and reporting, and keep the output to what your customers will actually read.
Research on your market, competitors and customers, turned into a 90-day plan that names the channels worth your money and the ones that are not.
Keyword research, page updates and tracking in Google and in AI answers such as ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.
Articles, emails and posts drafted by AI agents from real research, then fact-checked and edited before you see them.
Google and Meta campaigns checked every weekday by an agent, with every budget change approved by Haider.
Posts, graphics and short videos made in-house and scheduled after your approval. AI images are never passed off as real photos.
What was done, what moved, what did not, and what changes next, taken from your own Search Console, GA4 and ad accounts.

Most bad agency experiences trace back to a question nobody asked before signing. Here are the ones that matter, with our answers.
The right choice depends on your budget and how much you want to manage. Here is how the main options compare for a small business.
| Option | Typical cost | What you get | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI-powered agency retainer | About $3,000 to $8,000 a month for content and SEO (one agency's published range) | A team and a process | Retainers, account managers and terms to read closely |
| In-house marketer | A full salary plus tools and benefits | Someone who knows the business deeply | One person's skills, hiring time and cost |
| DIY with AI tools | Tool subscriptions plus your time | Full control | Posts that sound like everyone else's, and no plan |
| Our plan | From $1,500 a month; ad spend paid separately to the platforms | A 90-day plan, two channels and a monthly report, approved by one named person | Remote only, with the capacity of one person |
| Agent | What it does | What Haider checks |
|---|---|---|
| Researcher | Market, competitor and customer research, with a source for every claim | That the sources are real and the conclusions follow from them |
| Signal | Keyword research, rankings and AI-answer tracking from Ahrefs and Search Console | Which keywords are worth chasing for your business |
| Writer | Drafts articles, emails, ads and posts from the research | Facts, tone, and anything that makes a promise to customers |
| Reach | Checks Google and Meta ad accounts and drafts changes | Every change that touches budget or targeting |
| Herald | Schedules approved posts on your social accounts | The content calendar, before anything is published |
| Analyst | GA4 and Search Console reports, dashboards and alerts | That the numbers are read correctly before they reach you |
| Lens, Director and Voice | Graphics, short videos made in code, and AI narration | That nothing misrepresents your product, team or results |
The agents are software. They can be wrong, and some of what they draft gets thrown away. That is why nothing reaches your customers or your ad budget until a person has approved it.
We do not buy followers, likes or reviews, send cold email, use bought lists, pass off AI images as real photos, or mass-produce pages to chase keywords.
Your accounts, in your name. We are added as users; we never own your ad accounts, profiles or data.

Spreading a small budget across every platform is the most common way marketing money is wasted, so we start narrow.

AI agents from our Design & Film and Growth & Marketing divisions do the work, in parallel. Haider Ali, founder and CEO, agrees the plan with you and signs off everything before it reaches you.

It is a marketing service that uses AI to handle research, writing, ad monitoring and reporting, so fewer billable hours go into slow work. At Pixel & Oak, AI agents do that work and founder Haider Ali approves anything that goes public or spends your money. You talk to the person who signs off the work, not an account manager.
Our plans start at $1,500 a month for a research-based plan, monthly reporting and work on two channels, such as SEO content and social media. Each channel can also be bought on its own, with prices on its service page. Ad spend is paid by you directly to Google or Meta and is never marked up.
Ask before you sign: how long is the contract, who owns the website and ad accounts, is ad spend marked up, who approves budget changes, which work is done by AI, and what the monthly report measures. Be wary of anyone who promises rankings or a set number of leads. Our answers to each are on this page.
Not an agency in the usual sense. There is one person, Haider Ali, and a team of AI agents. That keeps the price lower and means the person who approves your work is the person you talk to. It also means we take on a limited number of clients at a time.
No. Our monthly marketing plans run month to month with no long-term contract. Your accounts, data and files stay in your name throughout, so if you decide to stop, you keep everything we made and simply remove our access. The plan and reports stay with you too.
Most of the first-draft work is: research, keyword analysis, writing, graphics, scheduling and reporting. A person plans the work, edits and approves it, and is accountable for it. You will always know which parts were drafted by AI, and nothing goes public until it has been approved.
Google has said that appropriate use of AI is not against its guidelines, while producing content at scale to manipulate rankings is. Everything we publish is researched, fact-checked and edited, and we keep the volume to what is useful rather than what is easy to produce.
You do. Ad accounts, social profiles, analytics and email platforms stay in your name, and we are added as users you can remove at any time. Everything we make for you is yours, including the source files, so leaving never means starting again from nothing.
Ads can bring visits within days of launch. SEO and content usually take three to six months to show in search, and visibility in AI answers is newer and less predictable. We report what changed each month and do not promise rankings or a number of leads.
