How to Create a White-Label AEO Report for Your Clients (Step-by-Step)

Why SEO agencies need an AEO offering now

Your clients are asking about AI search. They're seeing their traffic change, reading about ChatGPT and Perplexity, and starting to ask questions their current SEO reports don't answer: "Are we visible in AI?", "Why isn't our site being cited?", "What should we do about AI Overviews?"

Agencies that can answer these questions with data — not just opinions — will retain clients who might otherwise churn, and win new clients who are specifically looking for AI search expertise. AEO reporting is the vehicle.

Why BYOK makes AEO economically viable for agencies

Without BYOK, running audits for 20 clients per month at 20 pages each could consume 2,000+ platform credits — enough to require a high-tier subscription just for client work.

With BYOK (using your own Gemini API key), the same 400-page-per-month audit volume costs approximately $1-2 in API fees. The platform subscription covers the analysis framework and reporting tools. The economics of offering AEO as a client service become highly favorable.
