The groundwork in every program

AI tools can only recommend you if they understand who you are and trust what your pages say. Every program starts with the same four things.

  • An entity and topic audit, so we know how search engines and AI tools see your brand today
  • Structured data on the pages that matter most
  • A starting snapshot of where AI tools mention you, and where they mention competitors instead
  • Pages rewritten to answer questions directly, which is what AI tools pull from

GEO, AEO and AI SEO: same work, different names

You’ll see generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO) and AI SEO used for the same idea: being the brand an AI answer names. The work behind all three overlaps heavily with good SEO. Pages that rank well in Google are usually the pages AI tools quote.

What GEO adds is entity work (making sure every source describes you the same way), direct-answer content, mentions on the third-party sites AI models read, and tracking what the AI tools actually say about you month to month.

We don’t guarantee a number of AI citations. Nobody honestly can. We record where you are mentioned before we start and show you how that changes every month.

What affects your GEO pricing

GEO is priced by scope, not a flat rate. These are the factors that move you between programs.

  • How many AI engines you want tracked, just Google AI Overviews, or also ChatGPT and Perplexity
  • How many pages need schema and entity work, a handful of priority pages or your whole site
  • How much new content your site needs each month to stay cited, since AI tools re-check their sources constantly
  • Whether you also want off-site mentions, directories and digital PR, or on-site work only
  • How many brands, stores or markets this needs to cover
  • How much strategist access you want, email support, a monthly call or a dedicated team

Share your URL on the scope call and we tell you which program actually fits, rather than guessing from a form. For the fuller picture of what the work itself involves, see our generative engine optimization services page.

How to evaluate a GEO pricing quote

GEO is new enough that pricing varies wildly between agencies. These checks help you compare quotes properly.

Look for

  • Separates one-time groundwork, entity and schema work, from the ongoing monthly work, so you know what you are paying for every month
  • Tells you upfront exactly which AI engines are covered, not just “AI search” as a vague label
  • Shows you a starting snapshot of where you are already mentioned before quoting a plan
  • Reports on actual AI mentions and citations each month, not only rankings or traffic
  • Prices by scope, how much content and how many engines, rather than one flat rate for every site

Red flags

  • Promises a guaranteed number of AI citations or a specific ranking position
  • One flat price regardless of your site size, revenue or how many engines you want tracked
  • No mention of entity or structured data work, just more content
  • Can’t explain how they would measure or prove you got cited

Questions people ask us

What are GEO services?

Generative engine optimization services get your brand mentioned in AI answers from Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity, through entity work, structured data, direct-answer content, third-party mentions and monthly AI-mention tracking.

How much do GEO services cost?

Our programs start at $1,500 a month (Foundation), with Accelerate from $4,500, Dominate from $7,500 and Titan priced after a scope call. Every program includes both SEO and AI search.

Why is GEO a monthly retainer and not a one-off project?

AI answers change constantly, and so do your competitors. Most of the work is ongoing: new content, updated pages, mentions on other sites and checking what AI tools say now.

What counts as getting cited?

Your brand or one of your pages appearing in an AI Overview, a ChatGPT answer or a Perplexity answer for one of the queries we agreed to track.

How quickly does it work?

The groundwork takes three to four weeks. First changes in AI mentions usually appear around weeks six to eight.

How is this different from normal SEO?

There is a lot of overlap. GEO adds work on entities, structured data, direct-answer content and tracking AI mentions, on top of the usual SEO.

Is this the same as an SEO retainer?

Yes. Every program here is priced and run like a traditional SEO retainer: a fixed monthly fee, no long-term contract, covering ongoing technical SEO, content and GEO work together rather than one fixed deliverable. The only real difference from an old-style SEO retainer is that AI-answer visibility is tracked and reported alongside rankings every month.

Do you charge for AI visibility monitoring separately?

No. AI Overviews tracking is included in every program, and ChatGPT and Perplexity tracking is included from Accelerate upward. It is part of the monthly program, not a separate line item.

Is there a minimum engagement or contract length?

No. Every program runs month-to-month, with no upfront payment and no long-term contract. You can move up, down or pause when it makes sense for your budget.
