Founding sponsorship,
at an early-audience price.
servicedeskagents.com is an independent enterprise reference for AI service desk platforms: published rates, quote-only estimates flagged as estimates, and deflection benchmarks reconciled against independent sources. It is early. The audience is growing fast and is still small, the numbers below say exactly how small, and the founding rate reflects that rather than pretending otherwise.
The honest version of the numbers
Google Search Console for the 28 days from 17 August to 13 September 2026, and GA4 for the last 28 days. These are the only traffic figures we quote, here or in any pack.
Why two session numbers. We quote engaged sessions alongside the raw count because raw session counts on reference sites are inflated by automated traffic. Buy against the engaged figure and treat the raw one as a ceiling rather than an audience.
Enterprise IT leaders, service desk owners and procurement, working out what an AI service desk actually costs and what deflection rate is credible. The queries that surface the site are named-vendor pricing questions, which is what people search once a decision is live.
This is not a large audience yet. Average position is still 15.2, so most of those impressions are people scrolling past rather than clicking. What is worth something is the direction, the specificity of the queries, and the fact that the slot is uncontested today.
One category sponsor, clearly labelled
Not one of several, not a rotation, not a network slot. While a sponsor holds the category, no competitor in that category can buy space on the site.
- + A clearly labelled sponsor strip, marked as sponsorship in plain language.
- + A sponsor note on the ROI calculator and other tool pages.
- − Inside a data table.
- − On a study, benchmark or reference page.
- − Anywhere near the figures themselves.
// Nothing is running yet. The site carries no sponsor strip today. Placement is built and shipped when a sponsorship is agreed, not before.
The rules
These are the terms, and they are also the pitch. A reference people trust is the whole asset. A sponsorship that bent any of this would be buying something less valuable than the thing it was aiming at.
| Ref | Rule | What it means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| R1 | Sponsorship never changes a number | No price, deflection benchmark, ranking, comparison or conclusion on this site moves because of a sponsorship. Not up, not down, and not by leaving something out. |
| R2 | Every figure keeps its citation | Each figure stays attached to its dated primary source, and that link stays live and public. Sponsorship does not remove, soften or bury a citation. Vendor-stated numbers stay flagged as vendor-stated. |
| R3 | Sponsors are disclosed | Every page carrying a sponsor's name says so, in plain language, where a reader actually sees it. Sponsor links carry rel="sponsored". |
| R4 | Graded vendors cannot sponsor | A vendor whose own pricing this site grades head-to-head cannot sponsor it. Every AI ITSM platform compared on these pages is off the table by design. |
Companies selling into this audience without being graded against each other on these pages: knowledge management and content tooling, identity and access platforms, observability and monitoring vendors, workforce and scheduling software, and consultancies running ITSM implementations.
