For SEO agencies
Add a senior strategist and specialists for technical, content and AI-search work under your SEO agency’s brand.
Your agency keeps the client and the strategy. Hand us the work.
The short answer
An SEO agency should delegate bounded production and specialist work it can still review: technical investigation, content briefs, implementation QA, reporting or AI-search source analysis.
Your agency retains the commercial relationship, supplies the account context and approves the plan the senior strategist owns for the work we run.
An SEO agency does not need another person sending exports. It needs implementation judgement, an audit trail and someone prepared to say when the proposed fix is not supported by the site.

ConfidentialOrganic work under the agency’s name. The client has never heard ours.
One engagement’s reported results, not a forecast.
Read the agency caseThe clean boundary is an inspectable artefact. A technical ticket, page brief, implementation review or reporting narrative can have acceptance criteria. “Handle SEO” cannot.
LOKAL’s senior strategist owns the plan for the work we run, built from the agency’s account context and approval. Where evidence changes the recommendation, the specialist raises the conflict instead of quietly pursuing the original keyword plan.
Answer-engine work shares foundations with technical SEO, entities, useful passages and source authority, but it needs its own query panel and citation record.
It should not be sold as a renamed rank report.
An SEO agency can keep the wider search strategy while LOKAL maps cited sources, page gaps and repeat observations across the selected answer systems.
Before you choose
Use these tests on the work in front of you, not on a generic list of services.
Tickets, briefs, implementations and reports have a definition of done the agency can inspect.
Each system permission is connected to a task and removed or transferred at handover.
The specialist flags ambiguity, conflicting tool data and crawl limits before a weak claim goes out.
Registered accounts are protected in writing: no solicitation, no direct client contact and no case use without your approval.

Common questions
Pressure-test the decision on one real account.
Yes. The scope converts your priorities into defined production and QA. If live evidence conflicts with the brief, we record the issue for your decision.
No. We work under your name but never speak to your clients: your agency owns the relationship and every conversation, and LOKAL prepares the recommendations and reporting your team reviews and presents.
No. Before any work starts we agree which page answers which query. AI-search work strengthens the existing SEO page, and a separate page is added only when the queries show a genuinely different need.
No. There is no exclusivity requirement. You choose the people and partners your agency needs, and the written arrangement defines the work and the account-protection rules.
Your agency does. LOKAL works on one retainer per partner, from USD 2,000 a month. What you charge your client is yours to decide.
Yes. One real account shows the brief, review and communication load before either side commits to more. The first term is six months, then monthly, with a day-60 fit check.
