What Clients Say
"Prior to partnering with AIQ Labs, our SEO leads for e-commerce optimizations were buried in email inboxes and ad-hoc Google Sheets, causing us to drop the ball on several high-ROI keyword strategy pitches. Their custom CRM unified our intake from web forms and call logs, boosting our conversion rate from 15% to 42% over three months while doubling inquiry volume without expanding our team."
Sarah Kline
Client Success Manager at RankBoost SEO Agency
"Running a boutique SEO firm, we were overwhelmed tracking local search leads alongside demands for ongoing client link-building audits. AIQ's tailored CRM incorporates geo-fencing data and budget qualifiers to auto-score prospects, reclaiming 10+ hours weekly. In Q4 alone, we secured five new monthly retainers for Google Business Profile enhancements that we nearly missed entirely."
Mike Rivera

"Off-the-shelf CRMs fell short for our custom needs, like integrating fields for SERP volatility tracking and competitor backlink metrics. AIQ's solution is intuitively designed for SEO workflows, slashing admin time by 30% and letting us prioritize advanced on-page strategies. Client NPS scores rose 25 points in six months, reflecting stronger trust in our expertise."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom CRM differ from standard tools like HubSpot for SEO agencies?
Unlike HubSpot's one-size-fits-all model, our CRM is engineered specifically for SEO workflows. We embed AI that scores leads using agency-unique data, like keyword difficulty and backlink potential, rather than generic behaviors. For instance, it auto-flags high-value e-commerce SEO prospects from form submissions. This custom fit eliminates the 20-30% inefficiency agencies face adapting off-the-shelf software. Built on scalable frameworks, it grows with your client base without performance dips, and you own it outright—no escalating subscriptions. We've seen agencies reduce tool costs by 40% while boosting lead quality.
What integrations are included for SEO-specific tools?
We prioritize seamless connections to your core stack, including Ahrefs for backlink data, Google Analytics for traffic insights, and SEMrush for competitor benchmarking—all feeding directly into lead profiles. For example, when a lead submits a site audit request, the CRM pulls real-time SEO metrics to qualify them instantly. Beyond that, we integrate with Google Workspace for email tracking and project tools like Asana for campaign handoffs. These aren't superficial links; our two-way APIs ensure data flows bidirectionally, preventing silos. If your agency uses niche tools, we custom-build adapters, ensuring everything aligns with your client-relationship focus.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom CRM?
Timeline varies by complexity, but most SEO agencies see a fully functional CRM in 6-8 weeks. We start with a two-week discovery to map your lead flow—from inquiry capture to proposal delivery. Development follows in 3-4 weeks, with iterative testing to match your exact needs, like auto-generating SEO proposal templates. Deployment includes a week of training and optimization. This phased approach minimizes disruption; one agency launched mid-campaign without missing a beat. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of support to fine-tune, ensuring quick ROI through faster lead conversions.
Can the CRM handle multi-client SEO campaigns and scaling?
Absolutely—scalability is core to our design. The CRM structures data around client hierarchies, tracking multiple campaigns per account with SEO-specific tags (e.g., organic growth vs. technical audits). As your agency grows from 50 to 500 leads monthly, it handles the load via cloud-optimized architecture, maintaining speed even during peak seasons like algorithm updates. We've built for agencies managing 200+ clients, incorporating features like automated alerts for underperforming leads. This prevents the 'scaling walls' common in professional services, where relationships fracture under volume, and ensures your expertise shines through efficient operations.
What security measures are in place for client data in SEO projects?
Security is paramount for expertise-driven firms like SEO agencies handling sensitive site data. We implement enterprise-grade encryption for all lead and client info, with role-based access controls so only authorized team members see proposal details or analytics. Compliance with GDPR and CCPA is baked in, including audit logs for every interaction—crucial for trust in client relationships. For SEO specifics, we secure API pulls from tools like Google Search Console against breaches. Regular penetration testing and SOC 2 alignment mean your data is fortified like a well-audited site against vulnerabilities. Agencies using our systems report zero incidents, preserving their professional reputation.
How does the AI component improve lead management for SEO leads?
Our AI goes beyond basic automation, using machine learning to predict lead quality based on SEO-relevant patterns, such as query types (e.g., 'local SEO for restaurants') and engagement signals. It scores prospects on a 1-100 scale, prioritizing those with high conversion potential, like businesses showing ranking intent. This has helped agencies focus 60% more time on qualified leads, reducing chase time on low-fit inquiries. Trained on your historical data, it adapts—learning from past wins to refine suggestions, like recommending link-building pitches. It's like having an expert consultant analyzing leads 24/7, tailored to your agency's client-relationship dynamics.
