Your clients are asking about AI search.
The question is on every call
Clients want to know why a competitor shows up in AI answers and they do not.
Building it in-house is slow
New tools, a new process, and someone who has done it before. That is a hire most agencies are not ready to make.
Saying no costs the account
If you cannot answer it, the client finds an agency that can, and that agency also sells SEO.
Built for the three people who decide.
Agency owners

Your team does the implementation. SearchKata sets the plan and checks the work.
AI visibility audit
A tracked set of buyer prompts for each client, run on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews, recording who gets named and cited.
Ranked action plan
A 30 and 90 day list, ordered by impact, covering entity signals, page structure, schema, and citation sources.
Implementation briefs
Page-level briefs your writers and developers can execute without a strategy call for every task.
Monthly re-test
The same prompt set re-run each month, so you report a trend to your client instead of a single screenshot.

Questions agencies ask about white-label AEO.
What is white-label AEO?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the work of getting a business named and cited in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. White-label AEO means a specialist runs that strategy behind your agency’s brand, so your client only ever sees your name.
Do you do the implementation?
No. SearchKata sets the strategy, writes the briefs, and checks the work. Your team, or your client’s developers, carry it out. That keeps you in control of delivery and quality.
Will this replace my SEO team?
No. It gives your team a plan and a method for AI search, so they can deliver it themselves on every account after the first.
Which clients is this best for?
Local service businesses in Australia and Canada, where buyers ask AI assistants for recommendations near them.
Will my client know you are involved?
Only if you want them to. The default is fully white label.
How is AI visibility measured?
A fixed set of buyer prompts is run on each engine and recorded with the date, alongside Search Console’s AI reports and AI assistant traffic in GA4. The trend across the whole set is what gets reported.
