What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under 200 monthly leads, half of which weren't even in e-commerce SEO but focused on basic social media tweaks. Their custom scoring model, integrated with our CRM, cut our chase time in half—we closed three major clients in the first quarter after implementation, including a $150K annual retainer for a national e-commerce brand specializing in apparel."
Sarah Jenkins
Director of Client Success, Optima SEO Partners, a mid-sized digital agency serving retail clients
"We struggled with leads from non-technical industries like hospitality flooding our pipeline with vague inquiries. The AI system they built analyzes our intake forms and content downloads—such as whitepapers on technical SEO—to score based on true fit for enterprise projects. Last month alone, it helped us prioritize 15 high-potential leads in competitive sectors, leading to a 28% revenue bump without adding staff or expanding our keyword research team."
Mike Rivera
Head of Business Growth, Vertex Digital Agency, specializing in B2B SEO for tech firms
"Generic tools never captured the subtleties of our keyword strategy pitches, like assessing backlink profiles during discovery calls. This custom setup integrates our past project data from tools like Ahrefs and scores leads on engagement depth with competitive analysis resources. We've seen a drop from 40 hours to 12 hours weekly on qualification, freeing us up for actual client work on link-building campaigns."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for SEO agencies?
Standard CRM tools offer basic filters, but they fall short in the expertise-driven world of SEO where leads vary by project complexity and client goals. Our custom AI analyzes multifaceted data—like keyword research intent and past audit engagements—to deliver predictive scores tailored to your workflow. For instance, it might prioritize a lead showing deep interest in technical SEO over one just browsing general content. We've seen agencies reduce false positives by 60%, focusing efforts on prospects that align with long-term relationships. Built on advanced frameworks, it's scalable and owned by you, not locked into a vendor's ecosystem. This means no more one-size-fits-all limitations; it's engineered for your exact needs, integrating seamlessly with your existing tools for immediate impact.
What data do you need to build the custom lead scoring model?
We start with your historical lead data from CRMs, email campaigns, and website analytics—think conversion records, form submissions, and SEO tool interactions. No need for massive datasets; even 6-12 months of agency-specific info suffices to train the model on patterns like high-value e-commerce clients versus local business inquiries. We'll map this during discovery to ensure privacy compliance, then build in safeguards for sensitive client details. The result is a system that scores new leads against your proven success factors, such as budget thresholds or engagement depth. This tailored approach has helped similar agencies achieve 40% better prioritization, turning data chaos into a competitive edge without disrupting your daily operations.
How long does it take to implement and see results from the system?
Implementation typically spans 4-6 weeks, from initial data audit to live deployment, depending on your current setup complexity. We handle the heavy lifting—integrating with your CRM and testing against real leads—while you provide feedback loops. Agencies often see initial wins within the first month, like 25% more qualified opportunities routed to sales teams. Full ROI materializes in 90 days as the AI refines itself, boosting close rates beyond the 18% industry average for professional services. Unlike rigid tools, our flexible design allows quick adjustments, ensuring it evolves with your agency's growth in SEO offerings. It's a one-time build for lasting ownership, not endless subscriptions.
Can the lead scoring system adapt to changes in our SEO services?
Absolutely—flexibility is core to our design. As your agency pivots, say from on-page optimization to full generative AI SEO strategies, we embed adaptive algorithms that retrain on new data quarterly. This keeps scores relevant to emerging client needs, like SGE optimization queries. We've supported agencies through such shifts, maintaining 90%+ accuracy while incorporating fresh benchmarks. The system isn't static; it's a living tool with easy admin interfaces for your team to tweak weights on factors like voice search interest. This client-relationship focus ensures high-potential leads surface promptly, preventing missed opportunities in a dynamic field. Ownership means you control the evolution, backed by our engineering support.
What kind of support do you provide after launch?
Post-launch, we offer 3 months of included monitoring and optimization to fine-tune performance, ensuring seamless integration into your workflow. This includes monthly reviews of score accuracy against actual conversions and adjustments for any SEO trend shifts. Beyond that, our retainer options provide on-demand engineering for updates, like adding new data sources. Clients appreciate the handover training, empowering internal teams to manage basics without dependency. In professional services, where relationships drive revenue, this sustained support has led to 35% efficiency gains long-term. We're builders, not just deployers—your system's success is ours, with transparent reporting to track metrics like lead-to-client conversion uplifts.
Is this suitable for smaller SEO agencies with limited tech resources?
Yes, we specialize in SMBs like agencies with 10-100 team members facing subscription overload. Our custom build replaces tool juggling with a single, owned system that requires minimal upkeep—think automated scoring without needing in-house data scientists. For a mid-sized SEO firm, it might integrate just your website forms and Google Analytics, scoring leads on fit for services like link-building campaigns. We've delivered for similar setups, yielding 30% time savings on qualification and scalable growth without IT hires. The process is collaborative, with clear timelines and no hidden costs, making advanced AI accessible and ROI-focused for resource-constrained teams in the professional services space.
