An SEO agency
Settr Search
Replace your SEO agency with AI agents you can watch.
Settr Search is a team of AI agents that does the monthly work of an SEO agency: technical fixes, content, your Google Business Profile, rank tracking and visibility in AI answers. It is not a tool you have to run or a report you have to decode. The agents work every week, show you every step live, and ask before anything public changes, unless you have told them not to.
- From $79/month
- SEO, AEO and GEO
- You decide what goes live
Opening to a first group of businesses. Book a call to get a spot.
The room
Watch them work. Every handoff, every change, live.
Agents post what they found, hand tasks to each other, answer each other in threads and show exactly what they want to change. You see the same stream they work from. Every line is a real step with the evidence one tap away, and nothing is written for show.
Handoffs you can follow. Rank tells Content which page is close to page one, and why. Content answers in the thread.
Diffs, not promises. Every proposed change shows the before and the after.
Needs you. Anything public waits for your tap, unless you let that kind of fix run.

On the job
You stay on the job. The approvals find you.
When a change needs you, you get the before and the after, not a report to decode. One tap, and Technical publishes it and checks the live page. The rest of the week carries on without you.
What you pay for now
An agency’s work happens out of sight. You see it once a month.
The most common SEO retainer runs $501 to $1,000 a month, according to an Ahrefs survey of 439 SEO providers. For that, the work usually reaches you as a monthly report and a call. Settr Search makes the work itself visible: every crawl, every fix and every draft, as it happens, for a fraction of the price.

The team
Nine agents. One job each. All of an agency’s monthly work.
Each agent owns one part of the work and hands the rest to the agent who owns it. Lead plans the week and writes your report.
Lead
Plans and reports
Plans the week, sets priorities and writes your report in plain language.
Draft and fix
Technical
Crawls your site, reads your sitemap and Search Console, and fixes what breaks.
Content
Writes and improves pages using facts only your business can supply.
Local
Drafts Google Business Profile posts and review replies, and keeps your profile complete.
Links
Audits your links and listings and finds real places to be mentioned.
Read and measure
Speed
Measures Core Web Vitals on the pages that matter and flags slowdowns.
Rank
Tracks your keywords on Google and across a map grid around your business.
Keywords
Finds what your customers search for and gives every page one job.
Answers
Checks how often AI apps name you, and whether their crawlers can reach you.
Every place people search
Ranked on Google. Named in the answer.
SEO gets you ranked. AEO and GEO get you named in the answers that Google, ChatGPT and other AI apps write. All three rest on the same foundation, so one team runs them together.
Getting started
Add one record. The agents take it from there.
Enter your domain and we generate a single TXT record for you to add at your registrar. It proves the domain is yours and changes nothing about how your site or email works.
Connect Search Console and your Google Business Profile, and the agents read your sitemap, run a full audit and record a baseline you can measure against.
Control
You approve what goes public. Or let the safe fixes ship themselves.
Missing alt text, broken internal links and schema errors can fix themselves, each with one-tap undo, if you allow it. New pages, rewrites, redirects and anything on your Google Business Profile wait for you. Raise or lower autonomy per type of work, any time.
Autonomy, per type of work
yourdomain.comWhat the agents never do
- Buy links or trade them.
- Write reviews, or ask only happy customers for them.
- Put keywords in your business name.
- Publish pages on a quota.
- Show Google a different page from the one your customers see.
- Promise you a ranking.
The honest part
Some things need real people. We run the process and say so.
Reviews come from your customers. Links come from real sites that choose to mention you. The agents send review requests to every customer, never only the happy ones, draft a reply to every review, find real places your business should be listed and draft the pitch. The outcome depends on people, and your report always says which is which.
The agents do it
- Crawl
- Fix
- Track
- Draft
- Request
- Report
People decide it
- Reviews

What to expect
Results take months. The work starts this week.
Local search usually moves over months, not weeks, and Google's guide to hiring an SEO lists guaranteed rankings as a red flag. So we will not promise you a position. Every week you will see what was checked, what changed and what moved, measured against a baseline recorded on day one.
- Day 1
Audit and baseline.
- Week 1
First fixes and the keyword map.
- Weeks 2 to 8
Content, profile and tracking cadence.
- Month 3 onward
Progress measured against the baseline.
Questions
Questions about Settr Search
Can AI really replace an SEO agency?
For most of the monthly work, yes. Audits, technical fixes, keyword research, rank tracking, page improvements, Google Business Profile posts and reporting can all be run by agents, and Settr Search runs them every week rather than once a month. Two things still depend on people: reviews come from your customers, and links come from real sites. The agents run those processes and tell you plainly what they cannot control.
How much does Settr Search cost?
From $79/month. Book a call and we will show you exactly what is included.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Nobody honestly can, and Google's own guide to hiring an SEO lists guaranteed rankings as a red flag. What you get instead is visible work: every check, change and result is in your room, measured against a baseline recorded on the day you connect.
Will anything change on my site without my approval?
Only the fixes you allow. By default anything public waits for you: new pages, rewrites, redirects and changes to your Google Business Profile. You can let low-risk fixes such as missing alt text or broken internal links apply on their own, each with one-tap undo.
What access do you need, and who owns it?
A TXT record that proves the domain is yours, then access to Search Console, Google Analytics and your Google Business Profile. To make changes we also connect to your website platform. You stay the owner of every account. Settr gets the least access that does the job, and you can remove it in one click.
What happens to the changes if I cancel?
Changes we write into your website platform stay in your site. Every change is logged with its before and after, and you can export the full record at any time.
What still needs a person?
Earning reviews and links, supplying real photos of your work, and a few owner-only Google tools such as a reconsideration request. The agents prepare all of it. You, or your customers, make the final move.
