Back when we launched the first versions of Next Level Marketing AI, the press covered it on 4 different ocasions.
The Press Section on AISQ site covers also other AI related news from the AI Agenda.
So, for today’s post, let’s just focus on how Next Level Marketing AI evolved once the Alpha version was ready.
150 media publications covered AISQ’s initial unveiling of the End-to-End AI marketing technology inside Next Level Marketing AI. Full coverage, infographic, mentions and article are here.
That was in August 2024.
Just two weeks after that initial release, 200 business owners and entrepreneurs used it to make End-to-End Marketing for the first time ever.
This event also received coverage, because it had never been done before
The next step was to begin creating a full commercial product. These two initial pieces of news covered all over the press were related to the Alpha version of Next Level Marketing AI (specifically, Alpha v2 – it was a long process since 2023 to get this ready for the public).
SO the question came: what kind of commercial product could hold our Beta version? Where could this new technology have an enormous impact?
In the interviews with one of AISQ’s co-founders (Florin Muresan of Squirrly Limited), you can find the trails of a very big challenge of conquering obstacles online and helping people win!
Most of the interviews and origin stories here, and here, and here, and here. – they have the same core. The 2010 to 2012 experience of both co-founders was actually tied to making the website owners take actions on their sites, which would lead to results. Initially that evolved into gamification (which is why the co-founders received investment to start the Squirrly Company – now re-branded to AISQ) and into the Digital Assistants that they’ve been working on since 2010, to start creating technology that “senses” what is going on and what is required for improving online results.
Long story short: the founders were able to create mechanisms that made the site owners DO marketing activities.
They had the only Website-builder platforms in the world (they owned 2 big platforms) where users actually used them and did marketing.
Because of that, the retention rate was 3x larger than WordPress, Wix, Weebly, SquareSpace.
3x more clients continued using the sites they were creating, because they had results they could see and measure!
The other platforms only think: “Well, now you have a nice site. Good luck!” – but that doesn’t mean anything. Having a site online is an ABSOLUTE ZERO result!!!
Somebody needs to work on the marketing side of things, otherwise the site will go nowhere.
Well, as soon as the Alpha version of Next Level Marketing AI was a success, we had our answer: let’s get THIS technology to be the “Somebody” who works on the marketing side of things.
This thinking changed everything:
And the closed Beta became: AISQbusiness – get a brand new site online in just 2 business days. Then it does its own marketing!
And boy, was that a success. AI website builders were a joke, because there was no real CMS invovled. We gave the perfect CMS, WordPress, configured with multiple configurations that make WordPress perfect (we didn’t give vanilla versions; we actually gave amazing WordPress sites in those 48 hours – read specs here).
More details on AISQ vs AISQbusiness here, along with full lists, speed, security, etc.
Now, Next Level Marketing AI had the perfect environment to prove its capabilities and start helping entrepreneurs become successful online.
We were covered by the press all over again, because this concept was unheard of:
- You had a website created in just 48 hours – sometimes even faster because we used a supervised RPA (basically, a robot) to use our SOPs for creating WordPress sites, adding domain names, adding cpanel, setting the basics, etc.
- You then had help from Elementor AI to configure the Premium Theme created by the expert online salespeople from AISQ (covering their vast experience with Expectation Marketing and conversion rate optimization)
- And then an AI did all the marketing on all channels. End-to-End.
Yes, this WAS big news.
So by now we had learned quite a lot as a team and were very ready to make a big splash with this new technology we’ve created.
It not only connected through our entire ecosystem of products for Digital Marketing, it also helped run autonomous websites that do their own marketing. (human approval was still required)
We released the Early Access version of Next Level Marketing AI – we were covered by the Press again, and also: in under a month, we already sold 1,189 units of Next Level Marketing AI, becoming one of AISQ’s best selling products of the last few years. (other best-sellers were of course Squirrly SEO, Hide My WP Ghost and Education Cloud PLUS).
But for a debut, it did amazingly well in its first month.
So now you know the 4 different ocasion when media outlets covered our End-to-End Marketing tool.
It was important for us, because we had first-mover advantage here. We’ve been working towards a united workflow that connects the ecosystem since 2018. Next Level Marketing AI was our best solution.
Oh, and it was also cool that AISQbusiness reached 200 active WordPress sites created by our team and operated by AI soon after Early Access.
