CLEO ORBIT
CLEO ORBITEverything runs.
You only approve.
Orbit is the autonomous mode of CLEO, the specialist AI that runs your brand's digital marketing. It is the world's first engine to run a brand's entire presence, from the map to the model, autonomously, under your approval.
CLEO Orbit is CLEO with nobody driving. The same audits, the same server-side fixes, the same content, the same replies. The difference is that you never have to ask for them. Orbit decides what your brand needs this week, does it and brings it to you for a yes.
Why it exists
Every marketing platform ever sold shares one flaw.
It waits.
It waits for someone to log in, read the dashboard, work out what matters, and then do the work by hand. The dashboard was never the bottleneck. The person was.
Orbit removes the wait. It does not surface a fix and hope. It writes the fix, applies it server-side, measures the lift and moves to the next one. It does not hand you a content calendar to fill. It reads where you are losing citations and writes the piece that wins them back.
The engine was always capable of running itself. Orbit is us letting it.
The two modes
One engine.
Two modes.

CLEO finds the fix. You choose when to apply it.

Orbit drafts, schedules and posts, in your voice.

CLEO shows you the score. You act on it.
Orbit
Orbit acts on it. Daily. Then shows you what moved.
Three ways it runs
Say nothing. Say a goal.
Or just ask.
Self-directed
Give it nothing. Orbit finds its own opportunities across Maps, Search, AI Search, Social, Reviews and Leads, ranks them by expected impact and works through them day by day. The scores move without instruction.
To a goal
State an objective, a launch or a promotion. Orbit writes a dated plan, runs it on a cadence over weeks and re-plans from what the results show.
On demand
Email Orbit a request: a post on a topic, an article, a reply. It prepares it and sends it for approval.
In all three, nothing goes live beyond the approval depth you have set.
How it runs
Orbit runs the six surfaces
you already know.
In Assisted, you operate and CLEO assists. In Orbit, CLEO operates and you approve. Audits run. Fixes ship into your CMS. Articles are written from the citations you are losing. Your Google Business Profile stays current. Replies go out in your voice. The month plans itself. Every action arrives in one approval queue.
Maps
Your Google Business Profile kept accurate and current, and a drafted reply to every Google review, in your voice. Google only.
Search
Audits on schedule, fixes written server-side into the CMS, redirects, schema and internal links kept clean without a ticket.
AI Search
Losing answers rewritten for queries watched six days a week across the engines, readiness held intact as the site changes.
Social
Conversations found, replies written in your voice, the calendar filled and posted.
Reviews
Reviews fetched and drafted for reply across G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, TrustRadius and Tripadvisor, on cadence.
Leads
Leads captured from your presence, with names, companies and context, routed into the same approval queue.
Leads and paid media run on the same approval queue, in beta.
Beneath the six
Your website
The crawl layer. Every fix Search and AI Search make is written server-side into your own site, into the source a machine reads. It is not a surface.
Orchestration
The month planned from what the data says is missing, and every action above routed into one approval queue. It is the engine beneath the six surfaces, not a surface.
Six surfaces, one loop, nobody driving.
The control
Autonomy without approval
is just risk.
You set the depth for each surface: approve every action, approve by category, or approve once. Named Approvers hold the yes. Every action is logged with its before and after. Any applied fix reverses in one click. At setup, Orbit tells you what it cannot touch on your stack, rather than failing quietly three weeks in.
Set the depth, per surface
Approve every action
Nothing leaves the queue without your yes.
Approve by category
Clear the fixes once, and read every reply before it posts.
Approve once
Set the loop running on a surface, and read what moved.
You keep the only job that should never be automated. Saying yes.
The real cost
The tool was never
the expensive part.
For every $1 a business spends on a marketing tool, it spends several more on the people who run it: a salary, a retainer, a freelancer, a manager's evenings. Marketing teams also use only a third of what their tools can do (Gartner). Orbit takes on the larger number. Your part becomes approval and exceptions.
The shape people reach for, $1 of tool against about $5 of people, is an illustration at the level of a single tool. It is not a cited analyst figure, and CLEO does not attribute it to one. The calculator below makes it concrete on your own numbers instead.
At the level of the whole budget the published split is narrower. Gartner's 2025 CMO Spend Survey of 402 marketing leaders, run February to March 2025, puts marketing technology at 22.4% of the budget against in-house labour at 21.9% and agencies at 20.7%, so people cost roughly twice what software costs. In 2026 labour rose to 24.5% and marketing technology fell to 19.4%. The third-of-capability figure above is Gartner's own, from its Marketing Technology Survey, so most of a subscription goes unspent while the person is paid in full.
Cost to run
What the work costs you today
People, a month, today
$979 to $1,792
One in-house specialist, at the fraction of the role you selected, covering the whole estate.
Tools, a month, today
$500
On your own numbers, every $1 of tool carries about $2 to $4 of people. That ratio is yours, not a published industry figure.
CLEO list price, a month
$600 to $1,000
SEO + GEO with Orbit at $600 a site a month, and SEO + GEO + Social with Orbit at $1,000 a site a month, across one site. Enterprise is $3,000 per location a month, with Orbit included. Enterprise+ is custom priced, with Orbit included. Every price is published in the Plan Schedule.
Plus your approval time
Approval and exceptions
Orbit routes every action into one queue and logs it with its before and after. The work left to you is saying yes, and handling the cases that need a person.
BasisA US SEO and marketing specialist earns $47,000 to $86,000 or more a year (PW Skills and Uplers, 2025).
Three worked examples
An owner-led business
A $500 tool stack, run by a part-time marketer at ten hours a week. The tools are the small line. The ten hours are the large one.
US SEO and marketing specialist salary, $47,000 to $86,000 or more a year (PW Skills and Uplers, 2025).
A mid-market brand
The average SEO agency retainer is about $3,200 a month (Ahrefs, survey of 439 providers). GEO is often billed on top. The software inside that retainer is a fraction of it.
The average SEO agency retainer is about $3,200 a month (Ahrefs, survey of 439 providers). GEO and AEO are often billed separately from $900 a month (GoodFirms, 2026).
A multi-location group
Six surfaces, many locations, by hand, means several specialists or a large retainer. In Orbit it is one approval queue.
Delivery bought in rather than salaried runs roughly $300 to $2,500 per site per month (Wisemonk and Invedus, 2026).
You were never paying for the tool. You were paying for the hands.
Autonomy costs what the work costs.
Orbit is added to Social, SEO + GEO or SEO + GEO + Social, and included on Enterprise and Enterprise+. The standalone Local plan has no Orbit. Every price is published in the Plan Schedule.
What Orbit adds is not a feature. It is the operator.
Governance and trust
Autonomy you can audit.
Approval depth, per surface
Approve every action, approve by category, or approve once and let the loop run. The depth is yours to set and yours to change.
A full action log
Every action Orbit takes is logged with its before and its after, so what changed is readable after the fact, not only at the moment of approval.
One-click reversal
Applied fixes reverse in one click. Nothing Orbit writes is a one-way door.
Named Approvers
Approval sits with the people you name on the account. Nothing publishes on the word of anyone else.
Data residency
Hosted in Mumbai, with disaster recovery in New York.
What runs today
Said plainly.
Generally available
Local, SEO, GEO, Social and Perception.
In beta
Leads and Ads. The claim does not rest on them.
Social publishing
Orbit publishes by itself wherever the platform permits automated publishing: X, LinkedIn, Bluesky and Mastodon, and on YouTube on Enterprise. Instagram follows once Meta grants API access. Where a platform does not permit it, the engine prepares the post and a person places it. The Plan Schedule marks those rows (M).
Requirement
Orbit is added to Social, SEO + GEO or SEO + GEO + Social, and included on Enterprise and Enterprise+. The standalone Local plan has no Orbit.
No one can automate what a platform forbids.
Proof
Already running.
RMB
A digital marketing agency runs 44 client sites on Orbit for SEO, across WordPress, Wix and Shopify. Every audit, fix and ranking check is run by Orbit.
CLEO runs on Orbit
CLEO's own presence runs all five surfaces on Orbit. Leads is a sixth surface, tracked but not yet tested. Its sister company RegenAI Viola runs on Orbit too.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The world's first engine that runs your brand's entire presence, from the map to the model, autonomously, under your approval. The four tests behind the claim, every platform reviewed, and the source and date for every line are published at regencleo.ai/worlds-first, and re-checked quarterly.
Orbit is the autonomous mode of CLEO. In every plan, CLEO finds the work and you apply it. In Orbit, CLEO plans the work, does it and publishes it, and you approve. Same engine, same fixes, same content. No one driving.
Orbit is added to Social, SEO + GEO or SEO + GEO + Social, at the price the Plan Schedule sets for that plan, and included on Enterprise and Enterprise+. The standalone Local plan has no Orbit. Current prices are published at regencleo.ai/pricing.
Because what it adds is not a feature, it is the work. In Orbit, CLEO is not producing suggestions for someone on your team to action. It is doing the auditing, the fixing, the writing, the replying and the posting. Priced against the person who would otherwise do it, Orbit is not a close comparison.
Only if you tell it to. Approval depth is yours to set, per surface: approve every action, approve by category, or approve once and let the loop run. Every action is logged, and applied fixes reverse in one click.
The engine did not change.
The driver did.
