Who it is for

Built for content, marketing, PR, and creative agencies.

Boutique to mid-market agencies running three or more concurrent retainers. Five to thirty staff, a roster of freelance and contract writers on top, two or three production tools in the stack, and a delivery calendar that ships weekly across blog, social, paid, PR, and brand work.

Agency owners sit between two pressures that nobody else in the studio sees. The client pays for output quality and brand fit. The team gets paid by the hour, the day, or the deliverable. Every hour spent on a revision the agency could have caught internally erodes margin without changing what the client invoiced. Pre-handoff scans are the operational lever that closes that gap, which is why agency operations leads usually push for the scan workflow before the creative leads do.

Content and SEO agencies

Five to thirty pieces a month per client, written by named staff plus a freelance bench. The reason for scanning is procedural: Google's helpful-content signals weight AI-shaped prose against ranking, and clients running their own detectors flag pieces that read templated. A scan inside the agency catches both inside one workflow.

PR and communications agencies

Press releases, executive bylines, and pitch emails all moved to AI-assisted drafting through 2025. Journalists and editors started running their own quick scans before accepting a pitch, and a press release that pings as AI loses placement. Scanning every release before distribution protects the agency's media relationships at the same time as it protects the client's brand.

Creative and brand agencies

Campaign copy, brand voice work, naming, and tone-of-voice guidelines. The risk is subtle here because the client is paying for distinctive voice rather than volume. A flat AI-shaped paragraph inside a brand book or a campaign deck reads worse than the same passage inside a blog post. The scan flags the passages that drifted into the templated band so the creative lead can rewrite to brief.

Client deliverable scans

Pre-handoff scans, kill the "looks AI" pushback.

The shift in 2025 was that clients started running detectors of their own. Every deliverable that ships without an attached scan walks into a coin flip on whether the client's procurement lead or in-house writer raises a flag. Attaching a clean scan with the delivery email kills that question before it gets asked.

Set an Authenticity Score floor in the SOW

Most agencies settle on a floor of 75 or 80 across deliverables. Put the number in the statement of work so the standard is contractual rather than vibes-based. When a client raises an AI question later, the SOW already settled the bar and the conversation moves to the scan attached to that specific deliverable.

Attach the scan to every delivery

The writer or editor exports the white-label PDF and attaches it to the delivery email or the project tracker. The client opens a report branded with the agency logo and sees the score, the timestamp, and the sentence highlights. Most clients stop running their own detector inside two cycles once the agency report becomes part of the standard delivery package.

Catch issues before they ship

The writer rescans on revision, the editor approves once. When the score lands above the floor on the first pass, the deliverable ships at first submission. When it lands below, the highlights point to specific sentences to rewrite, which keeps the revision cycle to one pass rather than three rounds of vague voice notes. Most agencies see the AI-grounds revision rate fall by sixty to eighty percent inside the first quarter of running the workflow.

Procedural defence on the worst case

If a client raises an AI complaint weeks after publication, the audit log produces dated evidence per writer per deliverable. The scan history is the procedural defence that converts a refund dispute into a documented review. Retainer cancellations on AI grounds drop sharply once the agency has scan history, a written floor, and white-label PDFs in the delivery loop.

White-label scan reports

Deliver a polished report, branded to the agency.

White-label PDFs on Business export the Authenticity Score, sentence-level highlights, scan timestamp, and deliverable title with the agency logo on the cover and the agency URL in the footer. The PDF replaces the generic third-party screenshot most agencies attach today, and lands in the client inbox as a polished quality-control artefact rather than evidence of an outside tool.

Cover, footer, and watermark

Upload the agency logo once in the workspace settings. Every PDF export from that workspace carries the logo on the cover and the agency URL in the footer. The TextSight wordmark is removed entirely, which keeps the report inside the agency's brand surface for the client.

What the report contains

A clean cover with the deliverable title and scan date. A single-page summary with the Authenticity Score, the floor agreed in the SOW, and a pass or fail indicator. A sentence-level body view with highlighted passages mapped to the original text. The export is suitable for attaching to a delivery email, pasting into a Notion or ClickUp ticket, or storing in the client's shared drive alongside the deliverable itself.

How clients react

Most clients stop running their own detectors inside two delivery cycles once the agency report becomes part of the standard package. The branded PDF signals procedural quality control, which is what the client wants reassurance on. Agencies running this pattern also report fewer AI-grounds questions in quarterly business reviews, because the running scan log is already part of the relationship.

Reporting for monthly business reviews

Pull a rolling thirty-day report per client folder for the monthly review deck. Aggregate score, score trend, deliverables scanned, exceptions flagged. The QBR slide takes ninety seconds to assemble and gives the client one number to look at instead of a stack of screenshots.

Multi-client workspace

Separate client folders, audit logs, and contributor tracking.

One workspace, multiple client folders. Each folder keeps its own scan history, contributor list, and PDF export queue. The agency owner sees aggregate volume and per-client averages from a single dashboard, and pulls a per-client audit log when a quarterly review or end-of-contract handover lands on the calendar.

Client folders with isolated history

Drop a new client folder when a retainer signs and assign team members to it. All scans from that folder roll up to the client view, which keeps the deliverables isolated when an account manager rotates off the project. End-of-contract handover ships the folder export to the client as part of the closeout package.

Audit log per writer, per deliverable

The Business audit log shows who scanned which deliverable inside which client folder, with timestamps and PDF export records. Useful for quarterly vendor reviews, end-of-quarter staff reviews, and the rare case when a client raises an AI complaint weeks after publication. Dated evidence is the procedural defence that converts a refund dispute into a documented review.

Freelancer and contractor coordination

Five shared seats cover the named in-house team. Freelancers running the Chrome extension or pasting into the web app submit scans tagged to a client folder via a contributor link or via the API, without consuming a seat. The owner sees who scanned what in the log, and white-label PDFs branded to the agency stay uniform regardless of who drafted the deliverable.

Billing rolls up under the agency seat

The Business plan invoices once to the agency rather than splitting per client, which keeps reconciliation clean for the studio's bookkeeping. Most agencies bury the cost inside production overhead and surface scan reporting as a value-add line item in the monthly client deck instead of a passthrough line in the invoice.

Margin protection

Catch issues pre-handoff, protect billable margin.

Every revision the client requests on AI grounds eats billable hours from the retainer without adding to invoiceable scope. Pre-handoff scans move that cycle inside the agency, where rewrite hours cost margin instead of contract value. Most agencies recover the Business tier cost in the first week of running the workflow.

The hidden cost of AI-grounds revisions

A senior editor at sixty to ninety US dollars an hour spending six hours a week on AI-grounds rewrites burns roughly two thousand US dollars of margin a month per retainer. Across five retainers that is ten thousand US dollars a month of recovered profit if the workflow ships. The math gets harder to ignore once the owner runs it on a real month.

Where the saved hours come back

Editor review shrinks from fifteen minutes per article to ninety seconds with the score and highlights in hand. Senior editors stop chasing voice notes across Slack and Notion. Account managers stop fielding mid-week revision requests. The recovered hours absorb into either margin, growth work the owner has been deferring, or onboarding the next retainer without hiring another seat.

Pricing the scan into the SOW

Some agencies expense Business as production overhead and absorb the cost. Some surface the scan workflow as a "quality assurance" line item in the SOW priced between fifty and two hundred US dollars per client per month, depending on volume. Either model pays for the seat ten times over against the first prevented revision cycle.

The retainer cancellation tail

The worst-case event is a retainer cancelled on AI grounds. A five-figure monthly retainer lost mid-contract is a six-figure annual revenue hit by the time the replacement client signs. Pre-handoff scans, a written floor in the SOW, and audit log retention together reduce cancellation probability sharply. The procedural layer is cheap insurance against the tail event.

Agency growth playbook

Use scanning as a competitive differentiator.

Mid-market and enterprise prospects evaluating agencies now ask about AI quality control during procurement. The new-business pitch lands stronger than most owners expect when the agency walks in with a documented scan workflow, an Authenticity Score floor in the SOW, and white-label PDFs attached to monthly reporting.

Lead the procurement conversation

When the prospect raises AI quality during the pitch, walk them through the scan workflow on the spot. Show a sample white-label PDF on the screen, the SOW clause with the Authenticity Score floor, and a sample audit log entry. Agencies that lead the conversation close against agencies that wave the question away or pretend it does not apply. The procedural layer is the differentiator most competitor agencies have not put in place yet.

Use case studies that include the workflow

Case studies that mention "every deliverable shipped above an 80 Authenticity Score with attached scan reports" land harder than the same case study without the procedural detail. The detail signals operational maturity, which is what enterprise procurement is filtering for during the shortlist phase.

Tier the offer by procedural depth

The premium tier on the agency pricing page adds dedicated QA review with the scan workflow, weekly Authenticity Score reporting, and quarterly business review decks built from the scan history. The premium tier closes at a higher rate against mid-market prospects than the standard tier did, because the procedural artefacts justify the higher monthly retainer.

Win-back outreach when a client churned

Agencies that closed retainers from competitors on the back of a scan workflow win-back report a similar pattern. Reach out to a client that churned six months earlier with a sample scan report on a piece they published since leaving. The procedural artefact restarts the conversation more reliably than a generic check-in email.

FAQ

Agency owners frequently ask.

Why do agency owners need an AI detector in 2026?
Clients now run their own detectors on every article, post, and press release before approval. A single deliverable that reads AI puts the retainer under review and a second one usually kills it. Pre-handoff scans catch the issue inside the agency, where rewrite hours cost margin instead of contract value. The shift in 2025 was that the detector moved from optional to standard on the client side, which forces the agency side to catch up procedurally.
How does TextSight kill the "looks AI" pushback from clients?
Every deliverable ships with a scan attached. Score above the agreed floor, sentence-level highlights showing clean prose, white-label PDF branded to the agency. The client opens the report and sees a number instead of a feeling, which collapses the subjective back-and-forth. When a piece does come back flagged, the highlights point to specific sentences to rewrite, so the revision cycle is one pass rather than three rounds of vague voice notes.
What does white-label scan reporting include on Business?
Business tier white-label PDFs export the Authenticity Score, sentence-level highlights, the scan timestamp, and the deliverable title, branded with the agency logo instead of the TextSight logo. The agency name sits on the cover, the export footer carries the agency URL, and the PDF is suitable for attaching to client delivery emails or pasting into the project tracker. Clients receive a polished quality-control artefact rather than a generic third-party screenshot.
How does the multi-client workspace handle separate billing and audit logs?
Each client folder inside the workspace stores its own scan history, contributor list, and PDF exports. The agency owner sees aggregate volume and per-client averages from a single dashboard, and pulls a per-client audit log for quarterly reviews or end-of-contract handover. Billing rolls up under the agency seat rather than splitting per client, which keeps reconciliation clean for the studio's bookkeeping. Separate client folders also keep deliverables isolated when an account manager rotates off a project.
Can freelance and contract writers scan into the same agency workspace?
Yes on the Business tier. Five shared seats cover the named in-house team, and freelancers running the Chrome extension or pasting into the web app can submit scans tagged to a client folder via the API or via a contributor link. The agency owner sees who scanned what and when in the audit log without giving every contractor a paid seat. White-label PDFs are still branded to the agency on freelancer-submitted scans, so the report quality stays uniform regardless of who drafted the deliverable.
How does pre-handoff scanning protect agency profit margin?
Every revision cycle the client requests on AI grounds eats billable hours from the retainer without adding to invoiceable scope. A senior editor at sixty to ninety US dollars an hour spending six hours a week on AI rewrites burns roughly two thousand dollars of margin a month per retainer. Pre-handoff scans move that cycle inside the agency: the writer rescans before submission, the editor approves once on the score plus highlights, and the deliverable ships at first pass. Most agencies recover the Business tier cost in the first week.
Is scanning a defensible differentiator versus competing agencies?
Yes, and the new-business pitch lands stronger than most owners expect. Mid-market and enterprise prospects evaluating agencies now ask about AI quality control during the procurement cycle. An agency that walks in with a documented scan workflow, an Authenticity Score floor in the SOW, and white-label PDFs attached to monthly reporting closes against agencies that wave the question away. The differentiator is procedural rather than creative, which is the layer most competitor agencies have not put in place yet.
Which tier fits an agency, and what about volume discounts?
Business at $39.99 a month standard, or $29.99 a month on yearly, is the right fit for content, marketing, PR, and creative agencies running three or more concurrent clients. Five shared seats, 100,000 AI rewriter words a month, REST API, audit log, white-label PDFs. Agencies past the five-seat ceiling or above the API threshold get custom pricing per seat above five and per AI rewriter block above 100,000, with annual commitments unlocking the standard volume bands.
