SEO Scaler is an SEO and AEO workspace where an AI agent does the research and you approve the spending. It covers both classic search results and AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, and it shows the data source on every row.
Search has two front doors now
For twenty years, visibility meant ranking on a results page. Today many searches end in an AI answer before anyone clicks a link. If your brand is not named in that answer, you are invisible to that user even when you rank.
That creates two jobs:
- SEO: rank pages in classic search.
- AEO (answer engine optimization): be named and cited when an AI assistant answers a question about your market.
Most SEO tools only measure the first. SEO Scaler measures both, side by side, for the same project.
The second problem: agents that spend without asking
SEO data costs money. Keyword volumes, SERP snapshots, backlink indexes and AI answer checks all come from paid APIs. Hand that budget to an autonomous agent and you can wake up to a bill for research you never asked for.
SEO Scaler was designed so this cannot happen. SAM, the built-in agent, shows the call and its credit price first. Nothing runs until you approve.
How SAM works
You can talk to SAM in plain words ("find keywords for our pricing page") or pick one of 12 documented skills. Either way the flow is the same:
- SAM plans the research and names each paid call.
- You see the price of each call in credits.
- You approve, and the call runs with real data.
- Results land in a table with the source on every row.

Spend guardrails in detail
- Approval before every paid call. The price is shown first.
- Holds, not surprise bills. Approval reserves the quoted maximum. The call then settles at its real cost, so you never pay more than you approved.
- No spend on its own. Credits only move for work you start, and each call is capped: 300 credits on the Free plan.
This is the same principle we apply in security work: an automated system should never take an expensive or irreversible action without a human seeing it first.
Evidence on every row
Research results in SEO Scaler carry their source on every row. When the keyword table shows a volume or a difficulty score, you can see which data provider it came from, so you can judge the number before you act on it.
