New: the AI Shortlist Index for October 2026 is live. See which vendors ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode name in 8 categories

Partner programme · referral · updated 19 October 2026

Your clients are asking whether AI assistants recommend them. Send them to us and keep the relationship.

For SEO, content and growth agencies serving B2B SaaS. You introduce a client; we measure how often ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and Claude name them, fix the causes, contract and invoice the client ourselves, and pay you 15% of what they pay us in their first 6 months. Free snapshots for your prospects, no exclusivity, no minimums.

How it works

  1. 1. You introduce

    One email to hello@aeoledger.com with the client copied, before their first call with us. That’s the whole referral.

  2. 2. We measure

    A free snapshot first (3 buyer questions × 3 assistants × 3 runs, by hand), then the Audit, Sprint or Retainer if the numbers justify it. Published prices, published method.

  3. 3. You stay in the loop

    AEOLedger contracts and invoices the client. You’re copied on what we send if the client agrees, and you keep selling your own services.

  4. 4. You get paid

    15% of the fees the client pays in the 6 months after their first invoice, within 15 days of each payment clearing.

What you earn

The client buysThey payYour fee (15%)
Audit at the launch-partner rate$750$112.50
Audit, standard$1,500$225
Foundation Sprint, from$4,000$600

Prices are the ones on our pricing page. The launch-partner rate of $750 is open to referred clients while places remain (5 in total). Retainer months inside the 6-month window count too.

No fee on taxes or refunded amounts. Fees are paid in USD by bank transfer or an equivalent route agreed in the referral letter.

What you can say, and what we won’t

  • You can quote our published scope and prices, and the “named in X of N” findings from a snapshot we prepared for that prospect.
  • Free snapshots for your prospects: same method as for our own leads, one page, 2 business days. You may share the PDF with the prospect it was made for.
  • No guarantees. AI companies decide what their assistants say. We guarantee the work, its delivery dates and an honest re-measure, not the outcome, and we ask partners to say the same.
  • Never “invisible”, never negative. We report counts with sample sizes, and we don’t name a client’s competitors negatively in public. Neither should the pitch.
  • We don’t sell against you. For 12 months we won’t approach your existing clients for services you sell.

Everything else, including the method, the limits and what we don’t report, is on the methodology and terms pages.

How to start

Email hello@aeoledger.com with your agency’s website and the kind of clients you serve. We send a one-page referral letter; you accept by reply. There’s no contract until the first fee is due, and either side can end the arrangement by email. Referrals already introduced keep their 6-month window.

Questions

Who is this for?

Small SEO, content and growth agencies whose clients are B2B SaaS companies, seed to Series B, selling internationally. If a client asks you “do AI assistants recommend us?”, we answer it with counts and you keep the relationship.

What does a referral have to look like?

An email introduction to hello@aeoledger.com before the client’s first call with us. The client can’t already be in our records or in a conversation with us in the previous 90 days. First introduction wins.

How is the 15% paid?

Within 15 days of each client payment clearing, for the 6 months after the client’s first invoice. No fee on taxes or on refunded amounts. Cross-border payment routes depend on your country; we agree the route in the referral letter.

Can I resell the work under my own brand?

No. This is a referral programme: AEOLedger delivers the work, contracts with the client and invoices it. We don’t offer white-label or wholesale pricing.

Will you pitch my clients your other services?

No. For 12 months we won’t approach your existing clients for services you sell, such as SEO or content. The referral letter says so.

What may I claim about AEOLedger?

Our published scope and prices, and the “named in X of N” findings from snapshots we’ve prepared. No guarantees of outcomes, no “you’re invisible”, and no naming a client’s competitors negatively in public. We give you a one-paragraph description to reuse.
