Zarla for agencies, in plain facts

What it is, what it costs, what it isn't.

Who it's for
Agencies, web designers, local-SEO specialists and freelancers who build or manage websites for clients — including people running their first agency.
What it costs the agency
Nothing. The agency dashboard, client reports and partner listing are free — no platform fee, no seat fee. Building and previewing a client site is free; a per-site plan starts when the site goes live.
How a client site gets built
Describe the business, or import its existing site from WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or hand-coded HTML. Zarla writes the copy, sets the layout and images, and writes the search titles and descriptions. Edits are by chat.
Managing clients
Every client site in one dashboard with a health indicator per site, leads this month and an SEO score. Hand a finished site to the client's own account, or keep it in yours and manage it for them.
Reporting
Client reports on demand under your agency's name and logo (set once in your agency profile): the period's visitors and leads, what changed on the site, and a written summary with next steps — as a shareable link or a PDF.
Languages
Client sites can be built in 26 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese and Vietnamese.
Works with your AI
Zarla runs a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Windsurf can build and edit client sites from the chat you already use.
White-label
Not white-label. Your logo goes on the client reports and the client relationship is yours; the dashboard and editor are Zarla's. Business-plan sites can turn off the “Made with Zarla” badge.
Partner program
Zarla Partners: apply at zarla.com/partners/apply. A person reviews every application, usually within 3 business days. Approved partners get a free, permanent listing in the partner directory (founding partners are being onboarded now) and the Zarla Certified Partner badge.

The agency dashboard

Every client, one screen.

Open it on Monday and know which client to call first. Each client site shows a health indicator — healthy, needs attention, draft — the leads it took this month and its SEO score, without opening the site.

  • Add a client site from a sentence, or import the one they already have.
  • Edits are by chat, so anyone on your team can make a client change without learning an editor.
  • Hand a finished site to the client's own Zarla account, or keep it in yours and manage it for them — either way you keep editing it as their strategist.
  • Share the site before it goes live: the Preview link opens it for anyone who has it, so sign-off happens on the real thing.

Client reports

The retainer conversation, prepared for you.

For any client, generate a report under your agency's name and logo (set once in your agency profile): the period's visitors and leads, what changed on the site, and a written summary with next steps. Share it as a link or download the PDF. Generated on demand, whenever you need it — never sent to the client without you.

Where a client has an AI Assistants check, the report also carries what ChatGPT and Google's AI said about them — counted and dated, in the same report your client already reads.

Build a client site free

Free to build and preview. A per-site plan when the client's site goes live.

One operator, no production team

The work that took a designer, a developer and a copywriter now takes one strategist.

Zarla's AI does the production. You spend the client meeting refining, not briefing three people and waiting two weeks.

Describe a client. Get a finished site.

Tell Zarla what the client does and where they operate. Out comes a complete site — industry-specific copy, layout, design, images, search titles and a contact form — in about 30 seconds.

Import the old site. Match the old look.

Point Zarla at the client's current site — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or hand-coded — and it comes in as the starting point: pages, copy, images, contact details. Match Style then lifts the palette, type and layout from any reference site, so the client sees their brand on day one.

Edit by chat.

“Make the headline shorter”, “add a page for gas leak repairs”, “swap the hero photo”. It happens. Every person on your team can edit every client site after a short walkthrough.

Plug in Claude or ChatGPT.

Your AI does the research, competitor reading and copy; Zarla does the building, SEO and publishing — in the same chat, through Zarla's MCP server. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf and any MCP client.

Search Console, connected

Connect each client's Google Search Console once. Keyword rankings, clicks and impressions surface in the Zarla dashboard with a one-line “do this next”.

Google Business Profile, on the site

Reviews, hours and photos pulled from each client's Google Business Profile onto their site, with a checklist of what to fix on the profile — the local-SEO loop your retainer promises, visible in one place.

Schema, meta, sitemap — automatic

Every page ships with its LocalBusiness schema, its search title and description, its canonical URL and its image alt text. Every checkbox, every client site.

The AI Assistants check

Zarla asks the questions a client's customers type into ChatGPT and Google's AI, shows the answers word for word and who got named instead — counted, never a made-up score — then works on what moves them. Nobody can promise a spot in an AI answer; this shows where the client stands.

Zarla vs WordPress for agencies

No plugins. No patches. No 3 a.m. “the site’s down” calls.

WordPress is the maintenance stack the old cost structure was built on: plugins, updates, hosting and security, each a job someone bills for. Zarla hosts, secures and updates every client site — there is nothing to patch.

WordPress site

Dozens of plugins per site
0 plugins. Ever.
Monthly security patches you apply
Patches happen on our infrastructure, not yours
PHP version checks every update
No PHP. No version. No conflicts.
A theme breaks after the next big update
One renderer, versioned, always backward-compatible
A developer on retainer just for maintenance
No maintenance. One operator and Zarla.
Hosting, security plugin and CDN bills
Google Cloud hosting and HTTPS included

Nothing to patch means one person can run more client sites.

Zarla vs Wix Studio, Squarespace and Duda

Built for one operator, not a design team.

Wix Studio, Squarespace and Duda are good platforms for agencies that already have designers and developers. Zarla assumes you don't: the AI does the production, and getting the client found is part of the build, not a separate retainer.

Who builds the site
A designer works a canvas; a developer handles the rest.
The AI writes and lays out the site from a sentence; you refine it by chat.
Getting the client found
SEO settings and apps you configure per site.
Search titles and descriptions written for them, Google Business Profile reviews, hours and photos on the site, and a check on what ChatGPT and Google's AI say about the business.
The rest of the retainer
Separate apps or add-ons for leads, bookings, invoicing and reporting.
Leads inbox, bookings, invoices and branded client reports in the same dashboard.
Taking over an existing site
Rebuild it in the new editor.
Import the old site, match its look, refine by chat.
What the agency pays
Some charge the agency a platform or seat fee.
No agency fee. A per-site plan when the client's site goes live.

If you have a design team and want pixel-level control, those platforms will serve you well. If you are one person who wants to run more clients, Zarla was built for you.

The client's monthly cost after Sam moved them to Zarla

A Sydney small-business owner was paying another agency $3,000 a month for a WordPress site and an SEO retainer, and was about to shut the business down because they could no longer afford it.

Sam took the site over. He imported it into Zarla in a few hours; within days the client had a faster, search-ready, fully managed replacement — off WordPress and off the plugin treadmill — at $500 a month.

The client kept their business. Sam kept the relationship, at a price the client could survive.

One agency, told as the first of a new breed — not as proof at scale. Sam's prices are his own.

Agency FAQ

The questions you’d ask before bringing a client on.

Is Zarla a white-label website builder for agencies?

No. Your agency's name and logo go on the client reports and the client relationship is yours, but the dashboard and editor stay Zarla's and client sites are built on Zarla. Business-plan sites can turn off the “Made with Zarla” badge.

Does Zarla charge agencies a platform fee or a seat fee?

No. The agency dashboard, client reports and partner listing are free, and there is no agency tier. Each client site is on a normal per-site plan once it goes live; building and previewing a client site costs nothing.

What does a client site cost on Zarla?

Building and previewing a client site is free; a per-site plan starts when the site goes live, and current prices are on the pricing page. You can keep the site in your account and bill the client as part of your retainer, or have the client hold the account and pay Zarla directly while you manage it.

Can I hand a website over to my client?

Yes. Transfer a finished site to the client's own Zarla account whenever you want, or keep it in yours and manage it for them. Either way you keep editing it as their strategist, and the client gets chat-based editing for small changes.

Can I import a client's existing WordPress or Wix site into Zarla?

Yes. Point Zarla at the client's current site — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or hand-coded — and it comes in as the starting point: pages, copy, images and contact details. Match Style then applies the look of any reference site, so the client keeps their brand.

Does Zarla work with Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Zarla runs a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf and any MCP client can create sites, add pages, edit copy, upload images and publish from the chat you already use. Tokens are scoped to your account and revocable in one click.

Which languages can Zarla build a client site in?

26 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Indonesian and Vietnamese. Describe the business in English and choose the site's language; every visitor-facing word is written in it.

Do Zarla's client reports carry my agency's branding?

Yes. Reports go out under your agency's name and logo (set once in your agency profile): the period's visitors and leads, what changed on the site, and a written summary with next steps, as a shareable link or a PDF. Reports are generated on demand — nothing goes to the client without you.

Does Zarla have a partner program for agencies and freelancers?

Yes. Zarla Partners is for agencies, freelancers and anyone starting an agency who builds, manages or markets client sites on Zarla. Apply at zarla.com/partners/apply; a person reviews every application, usually within 3 business days. Approved partners get a free, permanent listing in the partner directory (founding partners are being onboarded now) and the Zarla Certified Partner badge.

What happens if a client leaves my agency?

Their site is theirs. They can take over the account or point their domain elsewhere, and you owe Zarla nothing. No lock-in for them, and none for you.

How fast are Zarla sites?

On a live Zarla site, manaracare.com.au, Google's PageSpeed Insights returned SEO 100/100, Best Practices 100/100, a 0.8s Largest Contentful Paint and 0ms Total Blocking Time on desktop (checked 2026-09-09). Sites are served from Google Cloud's global network with HTTPS included.

Try it on one client. Then decide.

Set up a single client's site in an afternoon — build or import, refine by chat, preview with the client — and see whether your retainer math works better. Free to build; a per-site plan when it goes live.
