Your AI Marketing Employee

The plugin is free, but it runs inside Claude, which costs $20/month (the Pro plan).

1. Go to claude.ai
2. Click Sign up in the top right
3. Create an account with your email
4. After signing in, click Upgrade to Pro (it will be in the bottom left of the sidebar, or go to claude.ai/upgrade)
5. Enter your card. $20/month, cancel anytime.

Already have Claude Pro? Skip to Step 2.

The plugin only works in the desktop app (not the website).

1. Go to claude.ai/download
2. Download the app for your computer (Mac or Windows)
3. Install it like any other app (drag to Applications on Mac, or run the installer on Windows)
4. Open the Claude app and sign in with the same account from Step 1

Cowork is the part of Claude that can use your computer and run tasks on a schedule. You need to switch to it.

1. In the Claude desktop app, look at the left sidebar
2. You will see tabs like Chat, Code, and Cowork
3. Click Cowork
4. If this is your first time, it may say "Setting up Claude's workspace" -- wait a minute for it to finish

If you do not see "Cowork" in the sidebar, make sure you are on a Pro plan and using the latest version of the desktop app.

Now you are going to add the Contractor Marketing plugin to Cowork.

1. In Cowork, look at the bottom of the left sidebar
2. Click the Plugins icon (it looks like a puzzle piece)
3. Click Add plugin
4. Choose "Install from GitHub"
5. Paste this into the field:

6. Click Install
7. Wait for it to finish (takes about 30 seconds)

You only do this once. The plugin stays installed.

When the plugin posts content, it uses your Chrome browser. It needs you to already be logged in to your accounts. Open Chrome and make sure you are signed in to:

• ✓ Google Business Profile -- so it can post updates and respond to reviews
• ✓ Facebook Business -- so it can create ads and posts
• ✓ Google Search Console -- so it can pull your SEO data
• ✓ Google Analytics -- so it can read your traffic data

Do not have some of these set up yet? That is fine. The onboarding step will walk you through each one. Just log in to whatever you already have.

Tell the plugin about your business. It asks 35 questions and saves your answers so every future command knows your company, service area, competitors, and tools.

1. In Cowork, click New task (the "+" button at the top)
2. In the text box at the bottom of the screen, type a forward slash: /
3. A menu will pop up showing available commands. Look for contractor-marketing and click onboard
4. Or just type this in the text box and press Enter:

5. Claude will ask you questions one at a time -- business name, phone, service area, competitors, etc.
6. Answer each one. Takes about 5 minutes.
7. When it is done, it saves your Business Profile. Every command after this uses it automatically.

This is the magic part. You can tell Claude to run marketing tasks on a schedule, automatically. Just type a sentence describing what you want and when.

In the Cowork text box, type any of these and press Enter:

Claude will confirm the schedule and start running it automatically. You can see all your scheduled tasks by clicking Scheduled in the left sidebar.

Your computer needs to be on and the Claude app needs to be open for scheduled tasks to run. If your computer is off at the scheduled time, the task runs when you open the app next.

That is it. You are set up. Here are some things you can say to it right now:

Just type what you need in plain English. Claude knows your business from onboarding and has 74 proven contractor marketing strategies to draw from.
