AgencyHawk combines client-facing dashboards, geo-grid local SEO, scheduled white-label reports, and ads analytics in one agency workspace — aimed at operators who deliver client results, not only research.

Frequently asked questions
Which tool is better for client-facing reporting?
AgencyHawk is built around client dashboards, scheduled PDFs, and portals. Semrush agency features focus more on SEO data and campaign management.
Can I switch from Semrush to AgencyHawk?
Most agencies reconnect Google OAuth per client workspace and rebuild report templates in the drag-and-drop builder. Migration time depends on how many clients and custom templates you manage.
Does AgencyHawk charge per client on top of the monthly plan?
No. Plans include a client workspace limit (5, 15, or 30). You upgrade the plan when you outgrow the limit — not per seat or per connector.
