# Rank tracking and SEO tools for agencies

> Per-project metering, so a client's month is a sum of rows, not a share of one subscription. What a twenty-site portfolio costs, and the reporting left out.

netweft is rank tracking and SEO research for agencies that bill per client: every project is metered on its own. An agency's problem with a seat-priced suite is that the cost of a client is unknowable: the subscription is one number and the clients are twenty, so what any one of them cost this month is an allocation rather than a measurement. netweft charges per operation against a project, so the month a client cost is a sum of rows rather than a division.

## Who this is

A team running organic for a portfolio of client sites, where every hour and every lookup eventually has to be attributed to one of them.

## A project per client

One project per client site, each with its own market, tracked keyword set and Search Console connection. Credits are spent against the project that asked for them, so the ledger is already per client before anybody exports it.

## History that survives a renewal conversation

Every scheduled rank check is written as a timestamped observation, so the history a client sees in month nine is the record of what was observed in months one to eight — not a series recomputed today against today's index.

## Scoped keys for whatever you build on top

An API key scoped to a subset of the workspace is what a reporting script or an agent uses. It is shown once, stored as a hash, narrowed per key, and revocable — which is the shape you want when a contractor needs read access to two clients and nothing else.

## What a month costs

Unit counts are stated; per-unit prices are the live rate card the API reserves against.

| Operation | Units | Credits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Scheduled rank checks | ×16,000 results pages: 8,000 keyword checks across the portfolio read to the top 20 | 320,000 |
| Monthly audits | ×10,000 crawled pages | 10,000 |
| Backlink summaries | ×80 requests | 19,280 |
| Research for pitches | ×5,000 keywords | 6,960 |
| **Total** | | **356,240** |

That is 59% of Agency's 600,000 credits a period, at $200 a month.

## What netweft will not do

There is no white-label export, no client portal and no branded PDF. Reporting is the dashboard and the API — an agency that needs a logo on a deliverable has to build that step itself, over the API or the MCP surface.
