Productivity Tools to Transform Your Business Operations

These are the exact productivity tools I use to run COSMOS and client operations. Tried, tested, and trusted – no fluff.

At Cosmos Consulting, productivity is not about chasing every shiny new app. It is about using a few essential tools consistently to create clarity and scale with confidence.
This is my real stack: the tools I use daily to run my business, deliver client projects, and stay sharp.

(Some are affiliate links (clearly marked) – most are simply what I run on..)

🧰 Tools We Recommend


SEO & Marketing

Rank Math SEO (Affiliate)

Why I use it: Rank Math is the backbone of my site’s SEO. With its clean UI and schema features, it helped me boost my Cosmos site from an SEO score of 0 to 84 in just three weeks.

MailerLite (Affiliate)

Why I use it: Every lead magnet on my site, from checklists to frameworks, is delivered through MailerLite. It powers my email automations, welcome sequences, and newsletters without overwhelming me with complexity. Perfect balance of power and simplicity.


Productivity & Systems

ChatGPT

Why I use it: My 24/7 co-strategist, the second brain behind COSMOS content, systems, & client deliverables. I use it daily to draft, refine, & sharpen ideas.

Google Sheets & Docs

Why I use it: These are my everyday backbone tools. From client dashboards to draft frameworks, I use Google Sheets and Docs to create visibility and document clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions about Productivity Tools

Yes. Every tool listed here is either in daily use at COSMOS or in my client projects. I don’t include tools I have not tested personally.

Most offer free plans. But to get real SME impact (automation, integrations, advanced SEO), we will likely need a paid plan. I have noted the ones I consider worth paying for.

Because, as SMEs, we do not need endless options. We need clarity. These are the few tools that genuinely move the needle.
