Book a Free AI Visibility AuditAI SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) pricing with me runs from $600 to $3,000 a month depending on how much of your site needs work and how many AI platforms you want to track. A one-time AEO audit starts the engagement for most clients. Ongoing packages add ongoing content optimization, schema markup, and monthly reporting on whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are actually citing you.
There is no setup fee, no long-term contract, and every price includes direct access to me, not a rotating account team.

Real Client Work Behind These Numbers
These packages come from the AI visibility and schema work I have already done inside client engagements, not a rate card built in a vacuum.
Compare This to the Rest of Your SEO Work
AEO pricing does not replace your SEO budget, it works alongside it.
AI SEO & AEO Pricing FAQ
The questions I get asked most before someone books a call.
How much does AI SEO and AEO cost per month?
Most clients pay between $600 and $3,000 a month, depending on site size, how many AI platforms you want monitored, and whether you need new content created or just existing pages optimized. Digital Elevator’s 2026 market data puts independent AEO specialist pricing in this same range.
Is there a one-time AEO audit option instead of a monthly retainer?
Yes. The Starter tier is built as a project-based audit and setup engagement first, and most clients only move to a monthly retainer once they see what the audit finds.
What is included in an AI visibility audit?
I check your current schema markup, test whether ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews already know about your business, review your content for AI-readability, and hand you a written report with prioritized fixes, not just a scored dashboard.
Do I need AEO if I already do traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO and AEO overlap but are not the same discipline. Traditional SEO targets ranking positions in Google’s blue links, while AEO targets being the source an AI system quotes or cites directly in its answer. Most sites need both.
How long until I see AI citations after starting?
Schema and technical fixes can show up in AI platform responses within a few weeks. Ranking for competitive terms and consistent citation across multiple platforms usually takes two to three months of ongoing work.
Do you work with agencies or only direct clients?
Both. Some AEO packages are white-labeled for agencies that want to offer AI visibility work without building the expertise in-house.
