For Web Agencies & Accessibility Consultants
Run a Full Audit.
Hand the Client a
Professional Package.
Scan any client site against WCAG 2.2 AA, simulate screen readers, run AI & search readiness checks, complete the manual checklist - then generate 11 white-labeled WCAG reports plus 7 AEO/SEO reports in one click. $399/month flat. One engagement pays for months.
Built for the people who deliver the work.
Governance Studio is for web agencies, freelance consultants, and accessibility specialists who run audits as a professional service - and need to hand clients formal documents, not a cloud dashboard login.
Adding accessibility audits to your service line. You need client-grade deliverables - Word reports, VPAT, Excel trackers - not a SaaS dashboard the client logs into.
Independent accessibility specialists handling multiple clients. You need a professional, repeatable workflow without per-user SaaS rates built for monitoring a single organization.
Advising clients on ADA, Section 508, or EAA compliance. You need ACR/VPAT documentation and evidence-grade audit reports for legal proceedings or government procurement.
Adding AI search readiness to your service line. Sell AEO/SEO audits - 7 dedicated reports per client - without licensing a separate enterprise SEO platform.
The Problem
Every existing tool was built for the wrong use case.
Enterprise accessibility platforms are built for large organizations monitoring their own digital property - metered by page volume, billed by named user seat. That is not what an agency needs when auditing someone else's site.
What agencies deal with today
- Browser-extension scanners charge per named user - 5 team members means 5x the annual bill
- Enterprise monitoring platforms commonly start at $15,000-$40,000/year - built for enterprise, not agencies
- No existing tool generates ACR/VPAT, Word, Excel, and HTML reports in one workflow
- Manual report assembly adds 4-8 hours per engagement on top of actual scanning
- ADA website lawsuits hit 5,000+ filings in just the first half of 2026[1] - client demand surging with no affordable tool
- Cloud tools mean client data and source environments leave your system entirely
What Governance Studio does instead
- One flat $399/month license - unlimited team size, 5 simultaneous sign-ins each with their own login, all roles
- Runs entirely on your desktop - no cloud subscription, no data leaving your machine
- Unlimited pages, crawls, and clients - the 100th audit costs the same as the first
- Generates all 18 report types - 11 WCAG, 7 AEO/SEO - in one click after the audit workflow is complete
- White-labeled output - your company name on every document, not ours
- Scan live sites or localhost staging environments before anything goes to production

The Opportunity
Enterprise SEO platforms weren't built for AI search (AEO) - or for agencies.
Enterprise SEO platforms are priced the same way enterprise accessibility platforms are - annual contracts, per-domain and page-volume tiers, seat-based licensing. Most were also built before AI search existed, so AI crawler access and citation likelihood (AEO) are not something they measure at all - which means there is no affordable way for an agency to offer AEO audits as a client service today.
What agencies deal with today
- Enterprise SEO platforms commonly run $25,000-$150,000+/year[2] - not priced for an agency reselling audits client by client
- Most platforms report traditional SEO signals only - no AEO coverage, so no way to tell a client whether AI crawlers like GPTBot or ClaudeBot can even access their pages
- No visibility into citation likelihood - whether ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity would actually cite a client's content in an answer
- Per-named-seat licensing means your whole team cannot access the tool without multiplying costs per engagement
- No existing tool bundles AEO/SEO reporting into the same white-labeled client deliverable as a WCAG audit
What Governance Studio does instead
- One flat $399/month license - the same subscription that covers your WCAG audits also covers AEO/SEO, no separate platform to license
- Checks real AI crawler access for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and 5 others, not just traditional SEO signals
- Scores citation likelihood using a multilingual language model that runs entirely on your desktop - how likely each client page is to be cited by AI engines
- 7 dedicated AEO/SEO reports per audit - a new white-labeled service line, not a bonus feature
- Same audit session, same client engagement - AEO/SEO reports generate alongside the WCAG package

Figures reflect 2026 published pricing and third-party contract-data analysis; none of these vendors publish full list pricing.
The Differentiator
The only tool that treats audit output as a deliverable.
Every competitor gives you a dashboard your client has to log into. Governance Studio gives you documents you hand to the client - 18 white-labeled formats across WCAG, AEO/SEO, and Site Health, in one click, branded with your company details.
The gap nobody else fills
Client-deliverable, white-label report generation - formal documents an agency can hand over directly, not a dashboard the client has to log into - is genuinely rare among accessibility tools, and rarer still as a single package spanning three service lines. Governance Studio generates 11 WCAG formats, 7 AEO/SEO reports, and a consolidated Site Health report simultaneously, natively, with no manual assembly - three new, sellable deliverables from one audit session, not one.

Team Access
Unlimited team members. 5 simultaneous sign-ins.
Most tools charge per named user seat. Governance Studio gives every team member their own login - with up to 5 people able to work at the same time. No per-user billing. No seat management conversations when someone new joins the project.
Concurrent sessions, not named seats
5 simultaneous sign-ins, each with their own login - your whole team gets individual access, billed at one flat rate with no per-person counting as the team grows.
- Developer auditing a staging build
- QA tester reviewing screen reader results
- Compliance lead generating the VPAT
- Account manager producing the executive briefing
- Project lead reviewing the interactive HTML report
What 5 users costs elsewhere
Browser-extension scanners commonly charge around $45/month per named user.[1] For a 5-person team that is over $2,500/year - and each user is still locked to single-page, single-session scanning, not a full-site crawl.
- Per-seat browser-extension scanner x 5 users = $2,700/year[1]
- Enterprise monitoring platform x 5 users = $15,000-$50,000/year[2]
- Enterprise compliance platform x 5 users = $40,000+/year[2]
- Governance Studio x entire team = $4,450/year

Capabilities
A complete audit workflow, not just a scanner.
Every stage of a professional WCAG 2.2 AA engagement - automated scanning, screen reader simulation, manual checklist, AI-powered guidance, and full report generation - in a single desktop application.
- Automated WCAG 2.2 AA Scanning
Crawl by sitemap, URL list, or spider. Runs axe-core on every page - 60+ rules covering WCAG 2.2, Section 508, ADA, and EN 301 549. - Screen Reader Simulation
Real accessibility-tree extraction via Chrome DevTools Protocol, analyzed to predict exactly what a screen reader announces. Failing elements show their HTML snippet for instant developer handoff. - Manual Compliance Checklist
Captions, cognitive criteria, OS display settings. Answers feed directly into VPAT tables. - AI & Search Readiness (AEO/SEO)
7 dedicated reports per audit. Checks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and 5 others, structured data, Open Graph, indexability, and citation likelihood - a new service line most accessibility tools do not offer at all. - AI-Powered Fix Guidance
Bring Your Own API key - Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini. Client explanations and developer fix instructions per issue. - 11 White-Label WCAG Report Types
One click generates everything: Word, Excel, VPAT, interactive HTML, executive briefing, accessibility statement, and more - plus 7 more AEO/SEO reports and a Site Health report, all white-labeled.
Site Health Tools
Four standalone site crawl tools - included.
Beyond the WCAG audit, Governance Studio includes four independent site health tools. Use them standalone or bundle into your engagement deliverable as added value at no extra cost.
Regex Finder
Find every page where a pattern matches - disclaimer text, phone numbers, deprecated UI strings, brand terms, legal copy. Use it for compliance sweeps, brand audits, or content migration validation.
Broken Link Detection
Crawls every internal and external link and checks for 4xx/5xx HTTP responses. Results show source page, broken URL, and status code - ready to hand to a developer immediately.
Page Meta Information
Audits every page for missing title tags, meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, JSON-LD, H1 headings, and canonical tags. Surfaces gaps affecting SEO and AI discoverability.
Broken Image Detection
Detects images that fail to load and images with missing alt text. Both are WCAG 2.2 criteria - caught in a single crawl pass across every page.
Development Workflow
Fix issues before they reach production.
Because Governance Studio runs on your desktop, it can audit anything your local machine can reach - staging environments, localhost builds, VPN-accessible development URLs.
Uncapped local scanning. Total privacy sovereignty.
Your code never leaves your machine. No cloud upload, no data transmission, no third-party server ever sees your source or your client's pre-production content.
Audit localhost and staging before launch
Point the scanner at localhost:3000, a VPN-accessible staging URL, or any internal environment. Catch WCAG violations before the client ever sees the build.
Client source code never leaves your system
For agencies working under NDAs or with healthcare, legal, or government clients - no cloud tool sees your client's unreleased code or pre-production content.
One tool across the whole team workflow
Developer audits the local build. QA tests on staging. Compliance generates the VPAT from the live site. Same tool, same license - no handoffs, no tool-switching.
Run as often as needed - zero metering
Fix an issue, re-scan, fix another, scan again. No per-crawl charges, no API quotas, no usage caps. The 500th scan costs the same as the first.
Report Output
11 client-ready WCAG documents. One click.
Every report is white-labeled with your company name and assessor details - set once in Settings, applied automatically to every engagement.
7 more reports for AI & search readiness
Every AEO/SEO audit produces its own documentation package - a new service line you can sell alongside the WCAG audit, not a single bonus page.
Plus a consolidated Site Health report
Return on Investment
One audit typically pays for the tool for months.
Agencies typically charge $1,500-$5,000 per accessibility audit engagement. At $399/month ($4,450/year), a single engagement typically covers 5-12+ months of the license.
