A practical partner path for launch clients who ask why the new site is not yet producing organic demand.
Partner model: Best after a real site launch, redesign, or service-page rebuild.
Send a qualified SEO/AEO-fit client and useful business context.
Lorea handles qualification, strategy, delivery, and reporting.
The partner earns recurring commission while the retainer stays active.
Why SEO questions appear after launch
A new website can look better and still need search strategy, internal links, technical cleanup, product and collection-page improvements, Shopify metadata, Klaviyo/email capture paths, service-page expansion, content, or AEO formatting. Clients often notice the gap only after launch because they expected the new site to create demand automatically.
That is the moment where a designer can either become the unpaid SEO advisor or route the client to a specialist.
The clean referral path
The designer introduces the client to Lorea, shares the site URL and launch context, and lets Lorea review whether an ecommerce SEO audit, Shopify/Klaviyo demand-capture sprint, SaaS SEO audit, or partner-program path is appropriate.
If the client signs, the designer earns 25% recurring commission for the active retainer without managing SEO tasks.
Best-fit client situations
The strongest referrals are businesses with real products or services, proof, and a site that can support search demand. Examples include ecommerce brands, Shopify stores, Klaviyo-powered retention brands, B2B services, local service businesses, SaaS companies, consultants, clinics, and professional firms.
The weakest referrals are clients with no budget, no clear offer, or expectations that SEO should work instantly.
How designers stay trusted
Be transparent that SEO is a separate discipline. The launch improved the site; the next sprint can improve how the site captures existing or future search demand.
That framing avoids blame and gives the client a practical next step.
What to send in the intro
Send the live URL, what changed in the redesign, the products, collections, services, or Shopify/Klaviyo flows the client cares about, and whether they have Search Console or analytics access. Lorea can take it from there.
Have a client who needs SEO/AEO?
Send the site URL and the problem they mentioned. Lorea will qualify the fit and explain the cleanest next step async.
