  "articleBody": "It's super frustrating when you put the work into an AEO strategy for your clients and don't see the impact you expect. One big reason might be that you're treating AEO like old-school SEO. AI systems don't just care about keywords; they're looking for entities, structured data, and how content is cited across the web. You could be missing those crucial pieces. Another common issue is using tools that aren't really built for multi-client agency work. If your current software doesn't support separate workspaces and reporting for each client, you're constantly fighting manual workarounds, and that's a huge time drain. Plus, if you're not tracking performance at the prompt level—meaning which specific questions or contexts your clients are showing up for—you'll get misleading visibility metrics. You need to know exactly what's working and what's not. And let's not forget competitor analysis; if you don't know why a competitor is getting recommended by AI over your client, you're flying blind. Finally, all those insights from your AEO software are useless if they don't feed into a clear execution plan. You've got to have a process for turning data into content updates, schema improvements, or new FAQs. If you're struggling to make sense of your AEO results or to operationalize insights, it might be time to bring in an experienced professional. They can help you design a full AEO service line and really get those retainers priced right, ensuring your agency delivers clear value.",
