Your own work stays yours
You bill positioning, ideal customer and implementation work at your rate, to your client, on your invoice. Sophyx takes nothing from it and never quotes services against you.

Every month the customer keeps paying
Your own positioning and implementation fees are separate, billed by you at your rate, and Sophyx takes no share of them.
Why this program exists
Sophyx works best when the positioning is right
Sophyx helps businesses get found in AI search. It learns what a brand does, finds the questions where AI recommends someone else, writes and publishes the content that fixes it, and measures the visits from AI assistants that follow.
It builds on the brand's own positioning, ideal customer and offer. When those are vague, the output is correct but does not sell, and the customer decides the tool did not work.
That gap is the partnership. Someone has to get the positioning right before the platform runs, and the client should pay that person directly, at their own rate.
What you get
Paid on real revenue
Your share starts the month your referral makes their first payment. A $100 bonus follows once they pass 2 months.
Sophyx does the fixing
Most tools in this space report the problem. Sophyx also writes the fix, publishes it and hosts it, for small and mid-sized businesses.
A guarantee you can repeat
Sophyx guarantees visits from AI assistants within 7 to 10 days on any page where the connections are made and the content is published. Your work is what meets that condition.
How it works
Step 1
Apply
It takes ten minutes. A real person reads it and replies within two business days.
Step 2
Calibrate
One call to agree who your 60-day link is aimed at and what a qualified referral looks like for your audience.
Step 3
Refer and earn
Your share starts with their first payment and runs while they keep paying.
Two tracks
One for introducing, one for delivering. The pay adds up, so an implementation partner keeps every referral payout.
Open. Apply any time.
Referral Partner
25% + $100
12 months recurring, plus the retention bonus
Best for
Advisors, creators, newsletters, communities, anyone with a founder audience
What it includes
- 25% of collected net subscription revenue for 12 months
- $100 once that account passes 2 months as a paying customer
- 60-day attribution window and deal registration
- Sophyx runs the call and closes the deal
- No targets, no minimums, no cost to join
Invite only. 5 seats for the first 90 days.
Implementation Partner
Everything above, plus your own fees
you bill the readiness work, we bill the software
Best for
Agencies, fractional operators, GTM and product consultants who deliver rather than only introduce
What it includes
- Set your own price on positioning, ideal customer and implementation work, and keep 100%
- Agency Pro workspace at no charge for client delivery
- Co-delivery on the 7 to 10 day results guarantee
- Named contact at Sophyx and input on the roadmap
- Partner directory listing and co-marketing
Neither track costs anything to join and there is nothing to buy: the partner workspace is free. 3 retained referrals and one co-marketing activity open an implementation seat, while seats remain. Read the full partner terms before you apply.
What counts, agreed before you start
Every payout is tied to money a customer actually paid.
A paying referral
Someone you introduced signs up and makes their first payment on a paid plan, inside the 60-day window or through a registered introduction. Your share starts that month. Free plans and trials that never convert earn nothing.
A retained referral
That account keeps paying for longer than 2 months. When the third consecutive payment clears, the $100 bonus is added to your next statement and is never clawed back.
A co-marketing activity
A workshop, a webinar, a newsletter feature, a joint article, or a published case study. One of these plus 3 retained referrals opens an implementation seat.
Good standing
Accurate claims about what Sophyx does, disclosure of the commercial relationship where the rules require it, and no bidding on Sophyx brand terms.
Who this is for
- Fractional GTM and product consultants
- Agencies with a retained client base
- AI, SEO and content strategists
- Implementation and web partners
- Incubators, accelerators and founder cohorts
- Newsletters and communities
Proof you can share, with honest labels
You put your own reputation behind this. Here are the results we stand behind, and whose results they are.
Outside customer
Blunt Hair Studio
The top ChatGPT recommendation for hair salons in Kingston, across 17 or more queries, two weeks after starting, with no paid advertising.
Read the case studyRun by the Sophyx founder, so say so when you present it
CertNova
535 ChatGPT sessions over 90 days, 53 conversion events and two paying customers, at five times the platform cost. CertNova is a separate business the Sophyx founder also runs, so present it as a demonstration of the channel, not as third-party proof.
Read the case studyApproved partners get a one-page proof sheet that says which figures are third-party, which are first-party, and the measurement window for each. Quote from that sheet and nothing else.
Five points that have helped close deals
These are the arguments that have actually moved deals. Use them.
Each client's data stays separate
No learning across accounts and no shared data pool. A customer running two competing clients asked about this directly, got that answer, and told us to market it.
Canadian company, Canadian hosting
This point has closed a deal on its own. If your clients are Canadian, regulated, or fill in procurement questionnaires, lead with it.
Results in weeks
The biggest objection to this whole field is that it is slow, like SEO. Blunt Hair Studio took two weeks, and the platform carries a 7 to 10 day results guarantee on pages where the work is published.
A weekly working session on every plan
Time with the technical team comes with every plan, including the entry one.
We say Google still matters
Many of your clients still get customers from Google, and we say so plainly. They need both, and the same work helps both.
And three places we lose
- Fewer AI engines tracked. We track ChatGPT and Gemini, including Google AI Overviews, but not Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI or DeepSeek today. One competitor wins on raw engine count at a higher price, and you should say so if a client asks.
- English-language markets mainly.
- No prompt-volume demand dataset, so Sophyx cannot tell a client how many people ask a given question each month.
Say these when a client asks. Being caught overstating costs you more than the comparison.
Co-marketing that counts
One of these plus 3 retained referrals opens an implementation seat.
- Workshop
- Webinar
- Newsletter feature
- Joint article
- Case study
- LinkedIn collaboration
Program rules
- Commission applies to new business only. Existing accounts, open opportunities and house accounts do not qualify.
- No self-referrals, and no referring a company you control.
- No bidding on Sophyx brand terms in paid search.
- Claims about Sophyx must match what the product does. We will give you the numbers you are allowed to quote.
- Commission is calculated on collected net revenue, so refunds and chargebacks are excluded.
The partner terms govern the program and are what you agree to when you apply. They cover payout timing, how disputes are handled, what happens on termination, and the notice we give before any rate change.
Questions partners ask
What does a partner actually earn?
25% of collected net subscription revenue for 12 months, starting the month your referral makes their first payment, plus a $100 bonus once that account has been paying for longer than 2 months. Implementation Partners add their own consulting fees on top, at their own rate, with nothing owed to Sophyx.
Do I get paid for introductions that do not convert?
No. Nothing is paid until the person you introduced signs up and pays. We put the whole budget behind referrals that turn into revenue, so we never have to argue about whether a conversation counted.
Why 12 months and not longer?
Sophyx has not been selling long enough for a longer promise to mean anything. A 12-month term is one we can keep and explain. If you want the full retention picture before you sign, ask on the partnership call and you will get it.
What is the retention bonus for?
It pays for work rather than for an introduction. An account that stays past 2 months is usually one where someone made sure the positioning was right and the content got published. The bonus goes to the partner who did that, and it is never clawed back once paid.
Do I need to be an agency?
No. The Referral track is open to anyone with a founder or operator audience, including advisors, newsletter writers and community leads. The Implementation track is for people and firms who deliver the work, and it is invite only while the first cohort is small.
What is the difference between the two tracks?
A Referral Partner introduces and Sophyx closes. An Implementation Partner also does the positioning, ideal customer and publishing work that makes the platform's output worth reading, bills the client for it directly, and shares delivery of the results guarantee.
How does a referral get attributed to me?
Through your referral link, with a 60-day window, plus deal registration for anyone you introduce by email or on a call. Register the introduction and the attribution does not depend on whether they remembered to click.
What happens if a referred customer churns or gets refunded?
Recurring commission stops with the subscription, and refunded amounts are excluded because commission is calculated on collected net revenue. The retention bonus is not clawed back once paid, which is why it only fires after 2 months.
What proof can I put in front of my own clients?
The published case studies, with their honest labels. Blunt Hair Studio is an outside customer that became the top ChatGPT recommendation for hair salons in its city in two weeks. The CertNova figures show a ChatGPT channel reaching paying customers. CertNova is a business the Sophyx founder also runs, so say that when you present it. Approved partners get a one-page proof sheet stating which numbers are first-party and which are not.
How fast do I hear back?
Two business days for the application. If it is a fit, the calibration call is usually the same week, and your link and proof sheet are issued on that call.
Apply to partner
A real person reads every application and replies within two business days.
5 implementation seats in the first cohort
We keep the first cohort small because every partner gets a calibration call, a proof sheet and a named contact. Apply now, or book a call and ask your questions first.
