Self-host for free

Overview. Your AI visibility and share of voice at a glance.

Used by 200+ brands to optimize their AI visibility

Your buyers are asking AI. Is it naming you?

Agencies tend to feel the shift to AI search first, because clients start asking why a competitor shows up in ChatGPT and they do not. AEO turns into a service line: measure each client's presence across the answer engines, find the gaps, and show the work.

The hard part is doing that across many clients without paying per seat for each one. An open-source, self-hostable tool changes the math, especially one with white-label support, so the dashboards carry your brand instead of a vendor's.

The AEO playbook for agencies.

What gets a brand named in AI answers in your category, and where Elmo shows you the gaps.

  1. 1Run a prompt set per client

    Build a focused list of the questions each client's buyers actually ask, and track it on a schedule so changes stand out.

  2. 2Benchmark against named competitors

    Share of voice against specific rivals is the metric clients understand. Show who gets cited instead of them, and on which prompts.

  3. 3Turn gaps into a retainer

    Every prompt where a client is missing is a concrete content brief, which turns reporting into billable work.

  4. 4White-label the dashboards

    Put the reporting under your own brand and domain so the visibility data looks like part of your service, not a third-party tool.

Where Elmo fits

Elmo is open source with white-label support, so you can run one instance for an entire book of clients, brand the dashboards as your own, and skip the per-seat pricing that does not scale across an agency.

From zero to a plan in one afternoon.

No sales call, no bloat. Elmo sets up your tracking and tells you what to change.

Frequently asked questions

Something we didn't cover? Ask the maintainers directly on Discord.

Can agencies white-label AI visibility reports?

Yes. Elmo offers white-label deployments, so agencies can run multi-client dashboards under their own brand and domain. You self-host the platform and present the data as part of your own service.

How do agencies price AEO services?

Most agencies bill AEO as a monitoring retainer plus content work, since each prompt where a client is missing becomes a brief. Running an open-source tool keeps your tooling cost flat as you add clients.
