Improve AI visibility without replacing your agency

Agency Responsibility Planner

You can keep your current agency if responsibilities, access and reporting are clear. First establish which work is already included. An additional provider should fill an evidenced gap, not bill twice for the same SEO work.

For each row, write the current owner, evidence of completion, next action and review date. Unknown means you need an answer, not that the work has failed.

  1. 1. Website access and crawlability

    Who checks indexing, redirects, canonical URLs and crawler access? Ask for a dated check, not a blanket assurance.

    Your evidence / decision / next action:

  2. 2. Service and location information

    Who verifies service coverage, business details, ownership and public contradictions?

    Your evidence / decision / next action:

  3. 3. Customer questions and proof

    Who gathers original examples, gets permission and updates service pages?

    Your evidence / decision / next action:

  4. 4. AI observations

    Who records fixed prompts, platforms, dates, repeated runs, recommendations and citations separately?

    Your evidence / decision / next action:

  5. 5. Lead capture and handoff

    Who verifies form delivery, booking capture and responsibility for responding?

    Your evidence / decision / next action:

  6. 6. Reporting and decisions

    Who separates visibility from qualified inquiries and booked appointments? Who decides what changes next?

    Your evidence / decision / next action:

Keep the current arrangement when

The work is covered, evidence is available and there is an accountable owner. You may need a better reporting agreement rather than a new vendor.

Consider a focused addition when

There is a defined gap your current agency will not address, both providers agree on scope, and one person controls website changes. Start with a bounded engagement and a shared baseline.

Pause changes when

Two providers plan to edit the same pages, nobody owns measurement, or the proposed scope duplicates existing work. Resolve those issues before adding spend.

Questions for the joint meeting

What will change? Who approves it? Which URLs are in scope? What will stay stable? What evidence would make us continue, adjust or stop?
