Your client, named and cited

Example only, with fictional businesses. The goal of every engagement: your client named and cited in the answers their buyers read.

Why does ChatGPT recommend our competitor? Are AI Overviews taking our clicks? Can you get us into Gemini answers? What do we do about Perplexity? Is our SEO still working if nobody clicks? Why is our brand missing from AI recommendations?
The gap

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.

Who it is for

Built for the three people who decide.

Agency owners

Signs the agreement
Will this put a client relationship or my margin at risk?
You start with one fixed-price account, keep the client relationship, and set your own price.

SEO leads

Checks the method
Is this real methodology, or AI fluff that my team will have to clean up?
Every finding is tied to a tracked prompt, a named engine, and a date. Your team runs the implementation.

Account managers

Has the client question
What do I show the client next week?
A report in your template that explains where the client stands and what happens next.
What you get

Senior direction, delivered in your template.

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.

FAQ

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.
