Most agencies make you book a call to find out. We will just tell you. Here is our price, the real market range with sources, and the times you should not hire anyone at all.
We charge one time for the build and hand you the asset, instead of renting you a ranking forever. A monthly plan to keep you found is optional, and you keep everything either way.
Best for single-location local businesses: home services, health, and professional services.
Priced to your market and scope after your free audit shows what you actually need.
Founding pricing: we take 3 founding clients this quarter at our best rate, in exchange for a documented case study. The Sprint is paid up front, the monthly plan is optional and cancellable anytime, and you keep everything either way.
There is no neutral price list for this, so we built one from published rate cards and independent roundups. Every range below is what real providers charge. Prices move fast in a young market, so treat these as directional.
| What you are buying | Typical range | In plain english |
|---|---|---|
| Done-for-you agency (small business) | $1,500 to $8,000 / month | Someone does the work. Most credible SMB retainers cluster at $2,000 to $5,000 a month. |
| Done-for-you (enterprise) | $10,000 to $50,000+ / month | Large multi-brand programs. Not what a local business needs. |
| One-time audit | $99 to $5,000 | Automated reports at the low end, consultant-grade diagnostics at the high end. Ours is free. |
| Monitoring software (DIY) | $29 to $499 / month | Tools that track whether AI mentions you. They show the problem, you do the fixing. |
| Freelancer | $30 to $120 / hour, or $65 to $1,500 / month | Cheaper and more variable. You coordinate the pieces yourself. |

Practitioners widely warn that a "GEO" retainer under about $1,500 a month is usually traditional SEO relabeled.
Two businesses can get very different quotes for good reasons. Here is what actually drives the price.
Around 84 percent of what AI cites is third-party. Reviews, directories, and earned mentions take real hours, and they are the biggest gap between a $3,000 build and a $15,000 one.
The number of pages and articles written and published each month is the single largest cost line in an ongoing program.
Finance, legal, medical, and dense metros need more content, more proof, and more tracking than a single-location trade in a quiet market.
Multi-location and multi-market work multiplies the tracking and the local signals. More surface area, more cost.
GEO on top of a full SEO program usually adds 15 to 25 percent, rather than a separate fee, because the foundations overlap.
We would rather lose a sale than take money we cannot earn. Here is when to keep your money.
If Google and Bing have not indexed you yet, fix that first. It is cheap or free, and nothing else works until it is done.
Start with a $29 to $99 monitoring tool and our free 20-point checklist. You can move the basics yourself.
If the economics of one more job do not work, marketing is not your bottleneck yet. Fix the offer first.
No one can honestly sell that. If a provider promises it, walk away. We guarantee the work and the readiness, not the algorithm.
Do not love the work in the first 14 days, and you get a full refund.
Measurable movement proven in your own Search Console, or we keep working at no charge until you get there.
Cancel anytime. Every asset we built stays yours forever.
Applies to established, indexed sites where we deploy the work. No guaranteed traffic, leads, or revenue, and AI-assistant citations are reported as readiness. We guarantee the work we control, and we raise our price rather than water down the guarantee.
Most of the value is in the build: the audit, the content, the structure, the crawler access. We do that once and hand you the asset. The optional $750 a month keeps it fresh and keeps tracking live, but it is your choice, and you keep everything you paid for either way.
Two reasons. We are a lean team running on a low cost base, and we take only three founding clients this quarter to build case studies, at our best rate. It is not cheaper because it is less. It is cheaper because our overhead is lower and we want the proof.
Not always, but be careful. Under about $1,500 a month, most "GEO" work is traditional SEO relabeled, or an automated audit with no one doing the work. Ask exactly what a human will do, and ask for a citation log within 90 days. No citation evidence means it is SEO with new vocabulary.
We guarantee the work and the readiness, proven in your own Search Console, under the Triple-Lock. We do not guarantee a specific AI citation, a lead count, or a revenue number, because no one honestly can. If a provider guarantees those, that is your signal to leave.
