Agenda
A focused agenda built to help agencies grow output with AI, not payroll—covering scalable delivery workflows, AI-era client communication, and margin-improving ops moves.
The new client KPI set: Measuring performance when AI changes the click story
- Understand what Google actually reports today—how AI features roll into Search.
- Console’s overall “Web” data—and what that means for agency measurement.
- Adjust dashboards and KPIs accordingly, then translate those changes into practical SE Ranking reporting workflows.
- Reframe client expectations around visibility, presence, and competitive answer share—without sounding vague or hand-wavy.
Using AI & automation to stay human: How agencies sustain & grow in an automated world
- Recenter agency growth around what automation can’t replace: human trust, relationships, and strategic guidance in an increasingly AI-driven world.
- Understand why “human-first” positioning is the key to retention and long-term agency resilience.
- Learn how strong client connection becomes a competitive advantage as search and SEO grow more complex.
- Use AI and automation selectively to accelerate non-human-critical work—reporting, gap analysis, ideation, briefs, data synthesis, and technical requirements.
- Free up more time for the work that truly requires a human hand: leadership, context, judgment, and client partnership.
Information-gain AI-era content surgery: Scale content output without hiring
- See what “AI sameness” looks like on real client sites—and spot the fastest tells that a page has gone stale or generic.
- Learn what “information gain” means in plain English, plus the non-negotiable signals that prove a page adds real value (not just rephrases).
- Follow a practical 30–60–90 refresh plan for inherited content libraries—what to audit, prioritize, and ship in each phase.
- Build an “information gain” scorecard with 5–7 fields that let strategists triage refresh priorities quickly and consistently across accounts.
- Apply a repeatable “content surgery” SOP—tighten structure, add constraints, prove claims, and prune sections—using a simple, memorable example.
Are your agency margins healthy in 2026? Benchmarks + what higher-margin agencies do differently
- See fresh benchmark ranges from Planable’s agency-owner survey and quickly identify where your agency sits (healthy, fragile, or at-risk).
- Follow a simple improvement sequence: spot margin leaks, tighten delivery and pricing rules, then reinvest saved time into higher-value work.
Commercial-first SEO & Digital PR: Turning visibility into revenue when clicks are less predictable
- Move beyond vanity metrics and align SEO + PR with real commercial outcomes that influence revenue.
- Prioritize visibility in the searches that shape buying decisions—and identify where demand already exists.
- Build a plan to capture that demand strategically, not reactively.
- Learn how to scope and sell work that clients keep funding—because it drives measurable business impact, even as search behavior changes.
