Solopreneurs do it all — but they shouldn’t have to do it alone

Running a solo business means doing everything yourself: writing copy, finding clients, sending invoices, updating your website, keeping up with social media. It also means making decisions that bigger companies have whole teams for — often without the time, data, or expertise to know if you’re doing it right.

That’s the gap Jimdo has always wanted to close. And now, with Companion, solopreneurs finally have what they’ve been missing: a partner that understands their business and helps them focus on what really matters.

“Our customers build amazing websites, but often the business success doesn’t follow,” says Matthias Henze, Jimdo CEO. “Companion helps them see clearly what to do next. Technology doesn’t replace them — it thinks with them.”


What makes Companion valuable to solopreneurs? 

Companion isn’t just another AI feature. It’s the smart system behind Jimdo — built around the real challenges and ambitions of solopreneurs.

It connects everything you already use in Jimdo: your website, analytics, bookings, and marketing tools — to help you grow faster with clarity and confidence.

Here’s how Companion supports you:

  • Shows what’s working: Every time you log in, you’ll see a clear snapshot of your business performance.
  • Recommends what to do next: Get personalized suggestions for more visibility, inquiries, or sales.
  • Helps you act immediately: From improving headlines to adding a booking form — Companion guides you step by step.
  • Answers your questions: Ask anything about your business and get advice in plain, simple language.

Imagine being a wedding photographer wondering, “Am I charging the right price?” Companion analyzes your portfolio, compares you with similar professionals in your area, and gives you a tailored answer — like having a pricing coach, strategist, and marketer in one.

“Signing up with Jimdo should feel like hiring a full team for your business,” says Jan Schlie, VP AI. “Companion connects the dots so you don’t have to.”

+40% more inquiries and transactions from users with Companion.
+50% more users achieving success within 30 days.

These results show what happens when solopreneurs get clear guidance and smart support: real growth, without longer hours.

“Companion marks the start of a new era of self-employment,” says Matthias Henze. “It gives small businesses the clarity and confidence they deserve.”
