01Where the hours go

The work your clients never see but always pay for.

Every agency runs on the same invisible treadmill. None of it needs a senior strategist, and almost all of it is work an AI agent can do.

Site audits

Crawling client sites, triaging issues, and turning findings into a task list someone still has to write up.

Technical SEO Audit
Keyword research

Volume pulls, clustering, intent mapping, and prioritization, repeated for every client and campaign.

Keyword Research
Content briefs

SERP analysis, outlines, internal link suggestions, and guidelines written from scratch each time.

SEO Content Writer
Backlink prospecting

Finding targets, qualifying domains, and drafting outreach that mostly goes unanswered.

Backlink Building
Client reporting

Pulling rankings, traffic, and deliverable status into decks and dashboards, every single month.

Reports
Status updates

Answering "where are we on this?" for every client, every week.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

The score reflects how much of a standard 40-hour week your team spends on manual, repeatable SEO work. The more hours per person per week that go to audits, reporting, research, and briefs, the lower the score. Cost figures multiply those hours by your average hourly cost; upside figures assume roughly 65% of that work can be delegated to AI agents.
Anything repeatable that does not require senior judgment to execute: site audits, keyword research and clustering, content briefs, rank tracking and reporting, competitor monitoring, backlink prospecting, and internal status updates. Strategy, client relationships, and final review stay with your team.
Visibility ships specialized agents for technical audits, on-page audits, keyword research, topic research, content writing, competitor analysis, and outreach. Teams on the platform typically route the majority of their repeatable delivery work through agents, with humans reviewing output before it ships — so 65% is a conservative planning number, not a ceiling.
Completely free and no account needed. We ask for a work email to unlock your results — your efficiency score, cost breakdown, and revenue upside — and to send you a copy. The numbers are directional estimates — for a number specific to your agency, book a demo and we will walk through your actual client load.
