About CMO Agents
CMO Agents was founded by Cory Holmes in 2025 to solve a growing problem: small business owners and solopreneurs were getting left behind in the shift from Google search to AI-driven recommendations.
Every day, customers ask tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity for help choosing products and services. But most small businesses aren’t even on AI’s radar. Meanwhile, agencies push overpriced packages, and DIY tools leave business owners overwhelmed.
That’s where CMO Agents is different. Instead of more dashboards or complicated tools, we give you something far more valuable: a fractional marketing team, powered by AI agents, that guides you step by step.
Our mission is simple: make your brand the one AI tools recommend.
Why We Exist
Most solopreneurs know they should be marketing but don’t have the time, team, or expertise to do it well. AI has changed the rules, but here’s the reality:
Big agencies sell bloated retainers with no strategy behind them.
Many “AI tools” are just ChatGPT reskins with inflated subscription fees.
Content creation is only half the battle—distribution and visibility are where most small businesses fail.
CMO Agents was built to solve this gap. We combine SEO fundamentals, AI search optimization, and fractional marketing expertise to help your business get seen, trusted, and recommended—without the overwhelm.
About Cory Holmes
I’m Cory Holmes, founder of CMO Agents. For more than 15 years I’ve worked in technology—spanning application development, cloud computing, product management, and data. In 2019, while running my own eCommerce business, I discovered the power (and pain) of SEO. That led me into digital marketing, where I’ve now spent 5+ years helping small businesses grow online.
I’ve lived the solopreneur struggle—wearing too many hats, juggling strategy and execution, and trying to compete with companies that had bigger teams and bigger budgets. That’s why I built CMO Agents: so no solopreneur feels like they’re doing it all alone.
With my background in AI, data, and marketing, I know one thing for certain: the businesses who prepare for AI-driven search today will be the ones who win tomorrow.
Let’s make sure yours is one of them.
