AI, Automation & Insight
We help businesses combine human expertise with practical AI to save time, improve decisions and strengthen follow-up.
Could your
marketing
work
smarter
AI is moving quickly, but the opportunity for most businesses is practical rather than dramatic. It can help speed up research, improve content planning, summarise data, support campaign testing, automate repetitive tasks and make follow-up more consistent. Used properly, it can give your team more time to focus on the work that needs human judgement.
One Design Group helps businesses understand where AI, automation and insight can make a real difference. We avoid gimmicks and focus on useful systems: better reporting, clearer workflows, stronger lead follow-up and marketing activity that becomes easier to manage and measure.

AI Search & Visibility Reviews
AI is changing how people search, compare and choose suppliers. Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini and other tools can influence the way users find information before they visit a website. That does not mean traditional SEO is dead, but it does mean website content needs to be clearer, more useful and better structured.
We review how your business appears across Google, your website, service pages, citations and AI-influenced search environments. Citations are mentions or references to your business across the web. We also review structured content, page titles, internal links, technical SEO and schema markup.
Schema is structured code that helps search engines understand the content of a page. It is not a magic ranking switch, but it can support a stronger technical foundation when used properly.
The aim is to help your business remain built to be found as search behaviour changes.
AI Marketing Support
AI can help marketing teams and business owners work faster, but it needs to be used carefully. Uncontrolled AI content can become generic, inaccurate or disconnected from the brand. Used properly, it can support research, content planning, campaign testing, reporting and workflow improvement.
We help businesses use AI in a practical, brand-aware way. This can include content ideas, first-draft support, campaign variations, customer research summaries, competitor analysis, email planning, social post development and internal marketing processes.
The key is human direction. AI should support expertise, not replace it. We help set up prompts, review processes and brand guidance so AI-assisted work still sounds like your business and supports your commercial goals.
This helps teams save time while keeping quality, accuracy and judgement in the process.
Content Planning & Workflow Support
Consistent content is difficult when there is no process. Many businesses know they should publish insights, emails,
LinkedIn posts or articles, but struggle to decide what to say, who should write it and how often it should go out.
We help create content plans and workflows that make regular marketing more manageable. This can include topic planning, campaign themes, content calendars, approval processes, AI-assisted drafting, brand tone guidance and repurposing plans.
Repurposing means turning one idea into several useful formats, such as an article, LinkedIn post, email, website section and sales follow-up. This helps make content more efficient without repeating the same message everywhere.
The result is a clearer rhythm for marketing activity and a stronger connection between insight, campaigns and sales conversations.
AI Opportunity Reviews
Many businesses know AI could help but are not sure where to start. The risk is either doing nothing or chasing tools without a clear business purpose. An AI Opportunity Review helps identify where AI could realistically save time, improve marketing or support better decisions.
We review your website, marketing activity, content process, reporting, lead follow-up and repetitive admin tasks. We then identify practical use cases that could create value without overcomplicating the business.
This might include faster content planning, automated reporting summaries, email follow-up support, customer enquiry routing, campaign research, sales document support or internal knowledge tools.
The output is a clear list of opportunities, priorities and next steps. It gives business owners a grounded way to explore AI without hype.
Marketing Automation
Marketing automation helps repetitive tasks happen more consistently. It can support lead follow-up, email journeys, customer reminders, abandoned basket campaigns, event communication, onboarding sequences and reactivation campaigns.
We help plan automation around the customer journey. That means identifying what should happen when someone completes a form, downloads a guide, makes an enquiry, attends an event, abandons a basket or becomes a customer.
Automation is not about removing the human relationship. It is about making sure useful follow-up does not get missed. A well-planned workflow can help people receive the right message at the right time, while giving your team clearer visibility of what is happening.
This can improve response times, reduce admin and help more enquiries become meaningful conversations.

HubSpot CRM Setup & Optimisation
HubSpot is one of the world’s leading CRM and marketing platforms, used by businesses of all sizes to manage contacts, track sales pipelines, automate follow-up, run email campaigns and measure commercial performance – all in one place.
Whether you are new to HubSpot or already using it but not getting enough from it, we can help.
For businesses just getting started, we configure HubSpot correctly from day one – setting up your CRM, pipelines, automations and reporting so the platform works in line with the way your team actually sells and markets.
For businesses already on HubSpot, we review your existing setup, identify what is holding it back and improve it so it genuinely supports growth. That might mean cleaner pipelines, better automation, smarter segmentation or reporting that actually reflects what is happening in the business.
We can also run a free HubSpot CRM Health Check – a practical review with clear recommendations on what to improve next.
Reporting Dashboards
Business owners need clear data, not endless spreadsheets. A reporting dashboard brings important information into one place so you can see what is generating traffic, enquiries, sales and engagement.
We create dashboards that can include GA4, Google Search Console, Google Ads, Meta Ads, email campaigns, CRM data, call tracking and form submissions. GA4 means Google Analytics 4, which shows how people use your website. Search Console shows how your site performs in Google Search.
The purpose is to make performance easier to understand. Which channels are creating enquiries? Which pages are working? Where are people dropping off? Which campaigns are worth more investment?
Good reporting helps turn marketing from guesswork into decision-making.
CRM & Lead Workflows
CRM stands for customer relationship management. In practical terms, it is the system that helps track contacts, enquiries, follow-ups and opportunities. Without a clear CRM process, leads can be missed, follow-up can be inconsistent and it becomes difficult to know which marketing activity is creating value.
We help businesses plan CRM and lead workflows that support the sales process. This can include enquiry capture, source tracking, lead stages, automated reminders, follow-up emails, internal notifications and reporting.
The goal is to make the journey from enquiry to sale more visible and manageable. If a lead comes from Google Ads, LinkedIn, email or a referral, the business should know where it came from, what happened next and whether it became revenue.
A good workflow helps marketing and sales work together more effectively.
