You arrive at the first meeting already knowing what is broken, and you can prove the work afterwards with a measurement the client can re-run without us.
DelveDeep does not do agency work: we provide the measurement, the execution is the partners'. If that ever changes, this line changes with it.
Why work with DelveDeep
The diagnosis comes before the first meeting
You can walk into a prospect already knowing which cited links no longer respond, what identity the models attribute to the brand, and which sources name their competitors but not them. That is a different conversation from a proposal built on assumptions.
The work is not guessed — it falls out of the diagnosis
Nine causes, each with one action, one executor and a place in the order. Identity before content, sources before volume. Including the ninth, which is not sellable: when competitors win on product, the honest output is to say so. A supplier that tells you when there is no work to sell is telling you the truth the other eight times.
The client can re-run the measurement without us
API, MCP and export. The query set is frozen at the start of an engagement and the hash recorded, so nobody can move the goalposts mid-way. This is what makes your verdict defensible in front of your own client rather than something they have to take on faith.
No commission, no percentage
We take no referral fee and no cut of your contracts. The commercial relationship with the client is yours and stays yours.
Admission criteria
We assess an application by reading one completed engagement: which cause was diagnosed, which action followed, and how the outcome was checked — not the agency's revenue, and not how many clients it might bring.
- You have run at least one engagement where you changed something about how a brand is described, cited or recommended, and you can walk us through what you changed and why.
- You can name which of the nine causes you were addressing. If the answer is “we published more content” for every case, that is one cause out of nine and we will say so.
- You verify outcomes after the fact rather than at handover, and you can show what the check consisted of.
- You work with the client's developers where the fix is technical, instead of routing every problem to editorial because that is what you sell.
- You are willing to tell a client that a problem is not solvable with marketing when it is not.
- You have a public website that says who you are and where you are based, and a contact route that a stranger can use.
What being listed gives you
- A page on this site, at your own URL, that an AI engine can cite on its own.
- Your entry in the directory, with the skills, sectors and languages you declare.
What it does not give you
- No exclusivity, in any territory or sector.
- No volume commitment, from us or from you.
- No obligation to use DelveDeep on all your clients, or on any of them.
- No tier, badge or score. Nothing on this page ranks agencies by how much of our product they buy.
Read the criteria below first. They are written out in full so you can tell before applying whether this is worth your time.
Questions agencies ask
How are agencies selected?
By reading one completed engagement, against the criteria listed above. There is no scoring model and no interview panel — we look at work you have already done.
What does it cost to be listed?
Nothing. There is no listing fee, no commission on your contracts, and no revenue share.
Is there an exclusivity?
No. Being listed does not restrict which tools you use, which clients you take, or which other directories you appear in.
Who owns the client relationship?
You do. We do not contact your clients, and the contract is between you and them.
Does DelveDeep compete with its partner agencies?
DelveDeep does not do agency work: we provide the measurement, the execution is the partners'. If that ever changes, this line changes with it.
Do we have to use DelveDeep with every client?
No. Nothing on this page or in the directory measures how much you use the product, and there is no threshold to keep your listing.
How do we leave the directory?
Write to us and the entry comes down. We do not require a notice period or a reason.
Can you guarantee our clients will be cited by AI engines?
No, and neither can anyone else. We measure what the models actually say; we do not sell a promise about what they will say next.
