Most agency owners and ops leads can't answer that yet. Therese can, you keep the client, and the answer comes with a plan.
You want to answer your client with a number. The tools out there will hand you one (an ARO Score™ is one), and then nobody on the team knows what to do with it. A number with no plan behind it is a screenshot.
Therese is an AI Recommendation Researcher. She created ARO™ and runs the ARO Index™, so she reads the score and the reasons behind it. This is white-label and researcher-led (not a freelancer taking AI gigs between other jobs): you own the client and the relationship, you set your markup, and she does the technical work behind the scenes and never appears to your client.
The plan is Audit and Roadmap first ($1,500, credits toward The Measured Rebuild), then either The Measured Rebuild (from $6,000) or advisory for your team, then dated proof: an ARO read before and an ARO read after. Your client gets a number that moved, with the dates on it.
Running your own client dashboard already? API access is on the roadmap, so ARO Scores feed straight into the tools you use now. No second platform to log into. Ask where it stands.
Your brand, your client, your pricing. Therese never appears to the client. The deliverables are yours to present.
Therese does not take competing businesses in the same category. When you bring a client, that category is yours in that market.
Not one service in a menu of ten. One focus. That depth is what your client gets.
Every engagement includes before-and-after ARO Score documentation. Your client can see the number move. That's the deliverable most agencies can't produce.
The same researcher-led advisory tiers apply: AI recommendation, implementation (schema, structure, content systems), and process (how your team keeps it measured). Start with the Audit and Roadmap, or bring Therese in as a fractional lead. See the tiers and prices →
API access is in development. Once live, ARO Scores will feed directly into agency dashboards via a simple endpoint: aroindex.com/api/score?domain=.... No second platform to log into for clients you're already tracking. Ask about timing.
