AI Search delivery for agencies
Keep the client relationship. Add the delivery layer.
Schmitdy gives marketing and branding agencies a dependable AI search delivery layer behind their strategy and client service. Your agency leads the relationship and coordinates the agreed approval path. We research the answer landscape, prepare the agreed work and verify what is actually live.
Agency deliveryScope agreed together
Named responsibilities. Clear proof for every completed step. No outcome is claimed without a valid comparison.
For agencies assessing a delivery partner for a specific client need or a repeatable service. Scope, responsibilities and commercial terms are agreed before work starts.
The delivery gap
A strong client relationship still needs a working delivery system.
An agency can spot the opportunity and shape the strategy, then lose time coordinating research, content, technical changes, outreach and reporting across different specialists. We turn the agreed plan into shared work, clear approvals and verified results.
Google states that its AI search features use established search fundamentals. That makes clear pages, accessible site structure and useful public sources more valuable than a separate layer of invented AI tactics. Google’s guidance for AI features and websites.
How collaboration works
Your agency leads the account. We make each handoff clear.
We begin with the client questions, markets, languages, systems and access that are actually in scope. Each work item records the claim, source, owner, approval state and verification result. Missing measurements remain missing, and external decisions remain external.
Your agency brings
- Client contextThe commercial goal, audience, brand position and the questions the client needs answered.
- Decision ownershipThe people who can approve claims, creative direction, publication and access.
- Account leadershipThe client relationship, meeting rhythm and the final advice delivered under your agency’s responsibility.

A service your team can explain and control.
01
Buyer questions
A defined set of questions tied to a market, language and buying decision, rather than an unbounded keyword list.
02
Grounded client facts
Claims trace back to approved pages, documents, data or named client owners. Unverified detail does not enter delivery.
03
Useful public sources
Owned content, relevant third-party coverage and community sources are handled as distinct work with distinct approval paths.
04
Visible collaboration
Your agency, the client and Schmitdy each have named duties. Handovers and unresolved decisions stay visible.

What Schmitdy can deliver
The work between the recommendation and the result.
The exact mix follows the agreed client need. AI agents assist with research and preparation; Schmitdy reviewers check claims, execution and evidence before anything is presented as complete.
Answer-landscape research
We examine how agreed buyer questions are answered across the selected AI engines and markets.
- Question-level observations with date, locale and engine recorded
- Named sources and citation gaps kept separate from brand mentions
- Coverage gaps and unavailable runs labelled rather than filled with assumptions
Owned content and technical work
We prepare changes that make the client’s offer easier for people and engines to understand.
- Page briefs or completed copy tied to approved client facts
- Technical recommendations with an owner and a verifiable acceptance condition
- CMS or developer handoffs shaped around the client’s existing workflow
Source and editorial opportunities
We identify relevant public sources and prepare useful contributions or pitches where the scope includes them.
- Source choices linked to the questions being measured
- Publisher, platform and community decisions reported separately
- No placement, citation or recommendation presented as guaranteed
Measurement and reporting
We define the denominator, collection method and comparison period before discussing movement.
- Visibility, share of voice, citations and sentiment kept as separate measures
- Missing data, small samples and method changes disclosed
- Business outcomes connected only when suitable analytics and client records are available
Implementation verification
When authorised access is available, we can stage or implement agreed work and read it back in the real target system.
- Draft, preview, published and verified states kept distinct
- Screenshots or system evidence attached to the acceptance result
- Rollback, access and approval boundaries recorded for the affected system
Responsibility handoff
Three roles, one visible record.
Your agency leads the client relationship and strategic recommendation. The client confirms its facts, access and approvals. Schmitdy owns the delivery tasks it accepts and returns evidence against the agreed acceptance conditions.
The working channel can sit in Slack, Teams or WhatsApp. Access remains named and controlled by the account owner. A blocked approval, unavailable system or third-party decision stays visible instead of being reported as delivered.
Slack Teams WhatsApp
The client

- Return target-system evidence for completed implementation tasks
What an engagement defines
Enough detail to prevent quiet scope drift.
Before delivery
- The client, markets, languages, question set and systems in scope
- Agency, client and Schmitdy responsibilities for each workstream
- Approval, access, publication and evidence requirements
During delivery
- A prioritised work queue with owners and acceptance conditions
- Reviewable outputs with facts, assumptions and open decisions separated
- A record of staged, approved, published and verified states
At reporting
- The measurement method and available starting point
- Results by engine, market and question set where the data supports it
- External decisions, missing data and unresolved dependencies disclosed
Evidence boundaries
Activity, publication and performance are different facts.
We agree what can be measured before work begins. If no comparable starting measurement exists, the first valid collection becomes the starting point. It is not recorded as zero and no improvement is claimed until a comparable later period exists.
| Evidence | What we record | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | The agreed item, owner, acceptance condition and completion evidence. | That a client approved it, a platform published it or an engine used it. |
| Publication | The live page, source or system state checked after release. | That AI visibility changed because of that release. |
| AI visibility | Valid sampled answers naming or citing the client within the agreed question set. | Demand, leads or revenue outside that measurement. |
| Business outcome | Qualified enquiries or sales where suitable analytics and client records are connected. | Causation from a mention, citation or single work item on its own. |
The method records engines, questions, locales, run dates, valid-answer counts and known gaps. Comparisons use like-for-like periods. Engine volatility, personalisation and source changes are treated as limits, not edited out of the report.

Questions agencies ask before involving a delivery partner.
Who owns the client relationship?
Your agency does. You decide how Schmitdy is introduced, how recommendations are presented and who joins client conversations. The written scope also names the approvals and access that remain with the client.
Can Schmitdy work behind our agency team?
We can support delivery through an agency-led workflow when responsibilities, disclosure requirements and communication boundaries are agreed. We do not describe the arrangement with a label that adds commercial promises beyond the written scope.
What can our agency keep in-house?
Any workstream. Some agencies keep strategy, creative and client reporting while asking us to handle research, technical preparation or measurement. Others need implementation support as well. The responsibility map records the chosen split.
Will you contact or publish for a client without our approval?
No. Client contact, external messages, paid activity and publication follow the named approval and access path. A prepared item is reported as prepared until the authorised person approves the next state.
Can you guarantee AI recommendations or editorial placements?
No. AI engines, publishers, communities and platforms make their own decisions. We commit to the agreed work, evidence method and verification. External outcomes are reported as outcomes only when they occur.
How is performance measured?
We define the question set, engines, markets, valid-answer rules and comparison periods first. Visibility, citations, sentiment and business outcomes are reported separately. Without a valid starting measurement, the first collection is the starting point rather than a zero result.
What access does Schmitdy need?
Only the access required for accepted tasks. Accounts remain under their owner’s control and named access is preferred. Missing access or an unresolved approval blocks the affected task and is shown in the delivery record.
What should we include in the audit request?
Enter the client or prospect website you are authorised to share. In the notes, describe the buyer question, markets, current agency role and the work you want help assessing. Submitting the form does not start a paid service or authorise client contact.
The guidance behind the work
Our delivery model follows published guidance for AI search features, structured data, spam prevention and measurement. These sources guide implementation; they do not promise an engine, publisher or customer outcome.
