Catena: the AI SEO Specialist that operates inside Seotronix

An AI agent isn't a tool you switch on and it just works. It's another member of the team that develops over time, learns how the agency works, makes mistakes, corrects them and delivers more each month. At Seotronix we've had our own running for months. This is the story.

Who Catena is

It's not a chatbot. It's a technical specialist with its own judgment.

Catena is Seotronix's AI SEO Specialist. It's not a generic assistant: it's trained in the agency's way of working and has access to the tools a real senior SEO uses — Search Console, Analytics, Tag Manager, Ahrefs, DataForSEO, PageSpeed, SerpApi, Cloudflare DNS and the clients' site manager when appropriate.

The name is no accident. It's a nod to Catena Zapata, the Mendoza winery: like a good wine, the agent gets better with time — not through software updates, but through accumulated context. Every client worked on, every data point recorded, every interaction with the team refines it.

What used to be done by hand

A specialized team delivers more value when it's not stuck on repetitive tasks.

Weekly reports built manually, client by client, exporting from Search Console and pasting into a doc.

Technical audits that took two or three days per account.

Commercial diagnostics that arrived late or incomplete, and were sometimes lost by not making it to the meeting.

One-off research outsourced to separate tools and requiring hours from a specialist.

Metadata optimized bit by bit, on a "when there's time" basis.

Blog content that started with good intentions in January and by March no one was publishing anymore.

What it does day to day

Everything repetitive and high-value, executed systematically.

Rankings and traffic reports

Weekly GSC report with Top 5 keywords and pages per client, week-over-week deltas and drop alerts.

Mon 9:30 AR

Technical audits

Crawling, indexing, architecture, Core Web Vitals, hreflang, canonicals, sitemap and robots. Findings prioritized by impact, not 300-item lists.

Commercial diagnostics

Pre-diagnostic or deep diagnostic for prospects: profiling, keywords, competitors and GEO/AI presence, in a branded PDF for the meeting.

Same day

Metadata and on-page

Batches of optimized titles and descriptions per client, with its own QA: desktop and mobile character counts, never claiming anything without a textual source.

Blog content

Owner of the GEO / AI-applied-to-SEO pillar: builds the monthly list, sends it for approval, writes and publishes.

Site monitoring

UptimeRobot connected natively: if a client's site goes down, it detects it and alerts the same day.

24/7

Weekly CTR measurement

On accounts iterating titles, it updates the CTR tracker every Monday and flags the ones that don't move after 2-3 weeks for a rewrite.

Weekly

One-off research

Ahrefs, DataForSEO and SerpApi when depth is needed: competitors, content gaps, live SERP and backlinks.

Marketing & SEO news

Weekly tracking of the main digital marketing news, with a focus on SEO: Google updates, SERP changes, AI, tools and trends. The agent shares the most relevant points through the team's general communication channels, such as Slack.

Weekly
How it interacts with the team

Part of the internal team. Every question goes to the right person.

Nacho
Director

Main point of contact. Prioritizes accounts, approves deliverables before they reach the client and defines data policies, access and general working criteria. Every sensitive configuration goes through him.

Daniela Sarviola
SEO PM

Coordinates day-to-day SEO operations. Prioritizes and assigns tasks, organizes work across specialists, reviews deliverables and makes sure each account advances according to the defined strategy and goals.

Antonella
SEO Account Manager / SEO Specialist

Supports the day-to-day management of accounts and works alongside the agent on SEO tasks. Coordinates client needs, provides context, reviews information and takes part in analysis, content and strategic decisions.

Saúl
Technical SEO & Development Specialist

Go-to person for implementations and technical questions. Works with the agent on audits, indexing, architecture, performance, tracking and development changes that impact SEO.

A rule it respects: configuration or access changes → Nacho. Operational prioritization → Dani. Technical implementation → the assigned specialist. A client's drafts are private until approved. In Slack it takes part like any other person: it replies when mentioned and stays quiet when the conversation doesn't involve it. It doesn't create noise.

Concrete examples of impact

What changed, with real cases.

01

Commercial diagnostics ready in hours, not weeks

The pre-diagnostic → diagnostic → proposal workflow went from two to four weeks to happening in a single day. The agency shows up to the meeting with data, not promises — and that changes the sales conversation.

02

Seotronix's blog started publishing

After years knowing we had to write about GEO but never getting to it, there's now a steady monthly cadence. On the first business day of each month the topic → brief → writing → publishing workflow kicks off.

03

Continuous monitoring on critical accounts

Where outages used to be spotted when the monthly report arrived, today the alert lands the same day it happens. The reaction window dropped from weeks to hours.

04

It found what no one had seen

  • On a retail account, the sale section had been blocked by robots.txt since the migration — the traffic drop everyone was trying to explain through Content.
  • On another, a third of the highest-traffic pages weren't in the sitemap.
  • It set up weekly CTR trackers to iterate titles based on data and drop the ones that don't move.
05

Real autonomy, with review where it matters

Circuitos que corren 100% solos (reportes, monitoreo, alertas). Circuitos donde propone y un humano aprueba antes de que salga al cliente (metadatos, contenido). Y circuitos donde consulta cuando algo no cierra. Nada crítico se aplica sin revisión; todo lo repetitivo corre solo.

An AI agent isn't a tool. It's another member of the team that develops over time. Every client worked on refines it — like a good wine.

The technical side

How it's built

We didn't buy it off the shelf. It was built piece by piece, around how Seotronix works. That's the difference between using a generic assistant and having your own agent.

Multi-model

It runs on the latest models in the Claude family, with explicit reasoning when the problem calls for it.

Connected ecosystem

More than 15 active integrations to work on real data.

Reusable skills

Each SEO procedure (diagnostic, audit, keyword research, migration, CTR) is coded as a versionable skill that stays consistent across every account.

Persistent memory per client

Each account has its own file, action plan, important URLs and measurement history. Nothing is lost between sessions.

Own infrastructure

It runs on OpenClaw, our agent runtime, with credentials isolated per service and auditable logs.

Works asynchronously

Cron jobs, scheduled heartbeats and responses over Slack and email. It doesn't need a human sitting there giving it orders to make progress.

The agency doesn't grow only by adding people. It grows by codifying more judgment.

We moved from 'each specialist has a ceiling of accounts they can handle' to a model where the repetitive work is done by an agent, and people focus on the decision, the client relationship and the fine implementation.

+judgment
Hours of expensive people recovered and turned into available judgment.

How would an agent like this fit your operation?

Catena is an internal case, but the logic carries over. Every business has a zone of repetitive, high-value tasks that today eats up hours. At Seotronix we design and build these agents tailored to the business.
