Agency and Consultant Partners

Search is becoming answer engines.
Nobody has solved it yet.

Your clients’ customers are starting with AI, not Google. The agencies that learn to manage AI discovery first will hold those retainers — and we build every agent alongside your team while you learn.

No platform fees during the 90-day ramp-up. Up to five clients.

SEO-to-AEO Opportunity for Agencies

Turn uncertainty into a recurring advisory service.

With CRSTA and Cumae, agencies help business clients build the assets that make them discoverable to AI chatbots — audited, structured, deployed and measured as a recurring service.

1
Audit

Find the gaps. What do AI systems get wrong, or fail to find, about the client’s business?

2
Structure

Create context. Turn menus, catalogs, services, locations and policies into AI-readable assets.

3
Deploy

Start conversations. Put a CRSTA agent on the client’s site and publish approved context through Cumae.

4
Measure

Capture intent. See what visitors actually ask, and where the answers fall short.

5
Expand

Connect selectively. Extend to more locations, more channels and more of the client’s systems.

Agency-Grade Value

CRSTBL turns client information into recurring AI discovery revenue.

Agencies already manage websites, local SEO, listings, content, promotions, and customer engagement. CRSTBL layers on an AI conversation and discovery engine you can package and price.

90-Day Partner Ramp-Up · Enrollment opening soon

Parallel validation for your closest clients.

You shouldn’t have to master a platform before you can sell it. Start with one client you trust, scale to five running in parallel, and CRSTBL’s team works alongside your project team for the entire 90 days — from the first client conversation to the day-90 results. No CRSTBL platform fees for 90 days.

The four phases — per client, and clients can run concurrently.

1
Days 0–7
Enroll & authorize

You run the client conversation with our co-branded kit. The client confirms directly with CRSTBL and keeps control of their own account. We review your first enrollment with you before it goes anywhere.

2
Days 7–14
Build & deploy

You supply the client’s knowledge, personality, and greeting. CRSTBL’s team builds the agent and hands back the embed code. One snippet on the site, with no change to how it works.

3
Days 15–75
Run & read

Conversations arrive; your team tags what visitors actually wanted. We coach on what to adjust and when, with progress reviews at day 30, 60, and 80.

4
Days 76–90
Report & convert

The day-90 report: measured cost per conversation against the $0.32–$1.00 range, engagement trend, visitor intent in their own words, and what continuing costs at published pricing. Your team runs the conversion conversation.

What your team walks away with

  • A project team that has run the full CRSTA motion end to end, on live clients — not in a sandbox
  • Up to five reference deployments and five real day-90 reports to sell the next fifty clients with
  • Co-branded client-facing collateral: program one-pager, FAQ, and the “what’s asked of you” checklist
  • Working fluency in Conversation Manager — agent context layers, intent tagging, engagement and cost-per-engagement reporting

What’s asked of your agency

  • Sign the Agency Partner Agreement and activate your portal seats
  • Nominate one client to start — a business with a website and real traffic, willing to run 90 days
  • Secure the client’s authorization before you enroll them
  • Configure each agent’s context from the client’s real business information
  • Tag conversations weekly; review the numbers with your client about 30 minutes a month
  • Scale to five clients when your team is ready

The terms, plainly

  • CRSTA only — Cumae is not part of this program.
  • No CRSTBL platform fees during the 90 days, and no automatic conversion at the end.
  • Your consulting and project fees to your client are yours, under your own agreement with them.
  • Up to five clients per agency, starting with one.
  • Open to all approved agency partners until CRSTBL discontinues the program.

Partner Evaluation

Who we’re looking for.

Agency partners are evaluated, not self-enrolled. A strong fit meets most of the following — not all of it.

01

Priority-client access

Active relationships in a CRSTBL target market: restaurants and food service, local and multi-location retail, B2B distributors and manufacturers, or loyalty and offer networks.

02

Aligned service offering

Services CRSTBL extends rather than replaces — SEO, AEO and content strategy, website development and conversion, listings and product-information management, CRM or marketing automation.

03

Recurring client relationships

Retainers, managed services, support agreements or standing strategic reviews — a natural home for ongoing monitoring, reporting and optimization.

04

Strategy and discovery capability

Able to qualify a client use case, define measurable outcomes and scope a contained deployment without overstating expected results.

05

Implementation discipline

Able to gather and structure client information, coordinate client approvals, support testing and follow an escalation process.

06

Account management and governance

Able to interpret customer-intent and representation data, run outcome reviews, use approved product claims, and keep agency services distinct from CRSTBL products.

Best first client: a business with real website traffic and repeated questions about products, menus, services or locations — chains and multi-location operators tend to show results fastest. You will also designate accountable personnel and launch one qualified client during the ramp-up.
