There are two ways to buy this. If we already run your SEO, AI search visibility is a $900 add-on to that retainer. If we do not, it runs standalone and the price covers the technical maintenance the retainer would otherwise have handled. Our SEO retainers themselves are Starter $599, Growth $1,499 and Full $2,499.
Two routes, three prices
Added to any SEO retainer. Entity setup, structured data, an llms.txt file and crawler policy, plus four citable pages a quarter. The route most clients take, because the technical base is already being maintained.
For clients without an SEO retainer with us. Everything in the add-on plus the technical maintenance an SEO retainer would otherwise cover, eight pages a quarter, and monthly prompt tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews.
Everything in Standalone Core plus digital PR for third-party citations, competitor answer-share tracking, and work across several markets or languages. For companies where being the named answer is worth real money.
Pakistani clients are billed in rupees at the same rate, and instalments are available on the annual commitment. There is no setup fee on any tier.
What you are actually paying for
- Entity clarity. Making it unambiguous to a machine what your business is, where it operates and what it is competent at. Schema, consistent naming across the web, and an About page that reads like a fact sheet rather than a brochure.
- Citable writing. Answer-first pages that state a claim in the opening sentence and support it. AI systems quote sentences, not paragraphs, so the sentence has to stand alone.
- Crawler policy. An llms.txt file and robots rules that let the right AI crawlers in and keep the rest out, so the systems you want quoting you can actually read the pages.
- Measurement. A fixed set of prompts run monthly across the major assistants, recording whether you were named, which page was cited, and who was named instead.
What the first ninety days look like
- Weeks one to three. Audit and baseline. We run your prompt set before changing anything, so there is a number to compare against later.
- Weeks four to eight. Technical and entity work, then the first batch of pages. This is the part that also lifts ordinary rankings.
- Weeks nine to twelve. Second batch, first re-measurement, and a decision on where the next quarter goes based on what got cited.
If nothing has moved by the end of the third month, that is a finding worth having, and it usually points at authority rather than content. We will say so rather than sell another quarter of the same thing.
Questions we get asked about the price
How much does AI SEO cost?
It is a $900 monthly add-on to an existing SEO retainer with us, or $1,200 to $2,400 a month standalone. The standalone price is higher because it absorbs the technical work an SEO retainer would otherwise cover.
Is AI SEO separate from normal SEO?
It overlaps heavily. Roughly seventy per cent of the work, entity clarity, structured data, citable writing, helps ordinary rankings too. The remaining thirty per cent is specific to how AI systems retrieve and quote.
Do you charge a percentage of ad spend?
No. Every engagement is a flat monthly fee agreed before we start, so the price does not move with your budget.
How long before we appear in AI answers?
Expect the first citations somewhere between eight and sixteen weeks. AI systems draw on indexed content, so nothing happens until the pages are crawled, indexed and judged credible.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will mention us?
No, and neither can anyone else. What we can do is make your business the easiest credible answer to find on the topics you care about, then measure whether the mentions arrive.
What if we already have an SEO agency?
That is common. We often run the AI search work alongside an existing SEO retainer, sharing the technical findings rather than duplicating the work.
