The enterprise AI marketing stack landed at your company. Now the operators (you) are expected to actually run it — between the agency consultants charging $40-200K for 6-month onboardings and the YouTube tutorials assuming a Fortune-500 solutions team. This is the operator-translation layer. One human in Encinitas who reads the substrate. First hour free.
The vendors got smart. Adobe + Salesforce + Microsoft are racing to be the enterprise AI marketing operating system. They land at the CMO level — because the operators wouldn't sign these contracts. Once signed, the operator-tax (onboarding, integration, consultant fees, internal time) becomes someone else's problem. Yours.
SideGuy is the parallel operator-translation layer that sits between the signed contracts and your team's actual work. No agency engagement. No SaaS subscription. No Calendly. One human in Encinitas who sits next to your marketing ops lead and translates the stack. The 1% that makes the 99% actually work.
Each page is operator-honest triage for a specific marketing-stack pain. Read once · ignore if not relevant · text PJ if anything fits.
40+ products. GenStudio, Real-time CDP, Marketo, AEM, Workfront, Target, Analytics, Commerce. The operator-translation triage between the Fortune-500 stack and your actual team's workflow.
Semrush pivoted to AEO + GEO. New modules. New metrics. No playbook. What to actually track when SEO becomes Answer Engine Optimization — and what to do about it.
The CMO signed contracts at the conference. Adobe + Semrush + Salesforce + Marketo + GenStudio. Now you're stuck running it. The operator-survival triage from someone who's been there.
More cluster pages coming as the stack consolidation accelerates. Adobe-Semrush partnership · Salesforce-Ahrefs · Microsoft AI marketing OS. Each major move gets an operator-translation page.
Same pricing across every department — operator-honest pass-through cost, not SaaS extraction.
Operator-honest: if the stack is right for your team, I'll help you onboard. If it's wrong, I'll help you document the rollback case. Either way the first hour is free. No Calendly. No meeting. Just the translation.
