I have a question regarding the feat known as Augment Calling and that is can I use it on a Sacred Servant's spell-like ability of Planar Ally or is that a no go (not quite familiar with the whole spell-like vs. spell situation when it comes to the rule).
For those that want to see Augment Calling, I will put it below.
Prerequisites: Spell Focus (conjuration); ability to cast lesser planar ally, lesser planar binding, or a higher-level version of these spells.
Benefit: Choose a subtype of outsider, such as angel or elemental. When using the planar ally or planar binding spells, you can call 2 additional Hit Dice of outsiders with the chosen subtype. You also gain an additional benefit depending on what spell you are casting.
When you call an outsider of the chosen subtype with planar ally spells, you reduce the price it demands for service by 25%, to a minimum of 1,000 gp.
When you bind an outsider of the chosen subtype with planar binding spells and request a service of the outsider, you gain a +2 bonus on Charisma checks to do so.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different subtype of outsider.
I'm going with yes, because it says when using planar ally or planar binding spells, not when casting.
So no matter how you use the spell as long as you are doing it the feat should kick in.
I'm also curious if Summon Good Monster can be used with the Empyreal Knight archetype as well. Any thoughts or confirmations?
I'm also curious if something like Versatile Summon Monster would work with the above archetype.
All of these feats, including Sacred summons and Augment Summoning work with Spell-Like Abilities, the short reason is that they're blanket improvements
Neat.
If the text the OP quotes is correct, it wouldn't work on spell-like abilities. The text states that it applies when you use the spells in question, not when you summon something.

a SLA that imitates a spell is that spell for everything that doesen't call the mechanism of spellcasting itself but just specific spells or categories of thereof
