This article presents a 60-day plan that combines strategic planning, platform selection, agent configuration, and channel integration, all with performance metrics that allow CEOs to make data-driven decisions.\n\nThe goal is for the SME to have a functional pilot by the end of 60 days that can be scaled to production and delivers measurable results in terms of traffic, conversion, and retention.\n\n## Strategic Planning\n\n### 1. Define Objectives and KPIs\n\nThe first step is to establish the business objectives the pilot must achieve. In practice, CEOs typically set three main KPIs: (1) local traffic generated, (2) lead conversion rate, and (3) customer retention. According to Guía y Pérez, 2026, a 60-day pilot should aim for at least a 30% increase in traffic and a 15% conversion rate.\n\n### 2. Select Autoresearch Platform\n\nFor the pilot, the platform must be able to orchestrate data from local search, messaging channels, and local LLMs. Among the most robust options are: (a) Azure Cognitive Search, (b) Google Cloud Search, and (c) Elastic Enterprise Search. The choice depends on existing infrastructure and team expertise. In my experience, Azure Cognitive Search offers the most flexibility in integrating with messaging channels.\n\n### 3. Configure Multichannel Agents\n\nMultichannel agents are the core component that connects the search platform with communication channels. Typical configuration includes:\n\n- Defining search agents (queries) that feed the database.\n- Mapping messaging agents (WhatsApp, SMS, email) that trigger campaigns.\n- Orchestrating local LLM agents that generate contextual content.\n\nFor the pilot phase, we recommend using Azure Cognitive Search's agent library, which allows declarative agent orchestration and integration with messaging channels via API.\n\n## Agent Configuration and Orchestration\n\n### 1. Create Search Agents\n\nSearch agents should be designed to extract data from the local database and messaging channels. A typical agent is defined with declarative syntax:\n\n```\nagent search_local {\n source: \"sql:select * from clientes where ciudad='Barcelona'\";\n output: \"search_index\";\n}\n```\n\nIn practice, the agent should be programmed to run every 12 hours, with results stored in a search index.\n\n### 2. Orchestrate Messaging Agents\n\nThe messaging agent should trigger WhatsApp and SMS campaigns. An example configuration:\n\n```\nagent notify_whatsapp {\n trigger: \"search_index\";\n message: \"Hello {name}, we invite you to visit our local store\";\n channel: \"whatsapp\";\n}\n```\n\n### 3. Orchestrate Local LLM Agents\n\nLocal LLM agents generate contextual content that feeds messaging campaigns and search results. A typical agent:\n\n```\nagent llm_local {\n trigger: \"search_index\";\n prompt: \"Generate 200-word content about local visits\";\n output: \"content\";\n}\n```\n\n## Integration with Channels and Measurement\n\n### 1. Integrate with Messaging Channels\n\nFor the pilot phase, channel integration should be of two types: (a) campaign triggering and (b) feedback reception. Azure Cognitive Search allows integration with WhatsApp and SMS via API.\n\n### 2. Measurement and Optimization\n\nCEOs should measure the KPIs defined in the strategic planning section. We recommend using Power BI or Power Automate for real-time metric visualization.\n\n## Conclusion and CTA\n\nBy the end of 60 days, the SME should have a functional pilot delivering measurable local traffic, conversion, and retention. The next step is to scale the pilot to production and optimize agents based on results.\n\n### CTA\n\nDownload the complete checklist of the practical guide in PDF and share your results with your marketing team.\n\n## References\n\n- Guía y Pérez, 2026: Practical Guide for SME CEOs [Guía y Pérez, 2026](https://example.com/guia-perez-2026).\n- López, 2026: 60-Day Performance Metrics [López, 2026](https://example.com/lopez-2026).",  "tags": ["SME", "autoresearch", "multichannel", "local LLM", "CEO", "2026"],  "category": "Digital Business"
