Pricing

One price list. The managed programme is SEO and AEO together. The self-serve audit plans are still available if you want the software, and they are listed second because they are a smaller product.

SEO and AEO in one managed programme

Every tier includes both search deliverables and answer-engine deliverables. A search-only retainer is a separate line, below.

Starter

From USD 1,500 a month

SEO and AEO for one service business in one country, getting the foundations in place.

  • SEO: crawlable pages, titles, canonicals and internal links for the pages in scope
  • AEO: a defined set of buyer questions, checked in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Copilot
  • A small number of pages written so they can rank for a query and be quoted in an answer
  • A monthly note of search visibility, and of where you were cited or where a competitor was cited instead

Growth

From USD 2,500 a month

SEO and AEO for a busier site, a second market, or a wider set of services.

  • Everything in Starter
  • SEO: technical and on-page work on the pages that should earn those rankings
  • AEO: a wider set of questions, including competitor comparisons, and more answer-focused pages edited by a person before they go live
  • A monthly review of what changed in Google and in the assistants, and what to do next

Scale

By quote

SEO and AEO for several brands, several countries, or a market that needs original research.

  • A written scope that includes both SEO and AEO, not a packaged list
  • More than one market or brand
  • A named person leading the work, with the same reporting discipline as Growth

Traditional SEO retainers are also available, from R4 500 a month, excluding VAT.

We agree the term in the proposal. You can stop at the end of that term. We do not lock you in with a ranking promise, because we cannot make one honestly.

Self-serve, if you want the software

These two plans are charged in the product when you create an account. They are audits and report branding, not the managed service above.

Business audit

USD 49 once

One paid pass of the site audit for a single website. Charged at signup.

Agency platform

USD 299 a month

The self-serve audit platform: more than one site, and your colour and logo on reports.

Create an account if this is the product you want. For the managed service, use the review button instead.

Questions about fees

Which currency are the fees in?

US dollars. Starter starts at USD 1,500 a month and Growth at USD 2,500 a month. Scale is quoted. Those fees are for SEO and AEO together. A search-only retainer, where that is the engagement, starts from R4,500 a month excluding VAT.

What does “from” mean?

It is the starting monthly fee for that plan. A wider market, more than one brand, or a site that needs a lot of repair can cost more. Scale has no published fee because the scope is agreed first.

What is not included?

Paid media, a guarantee of citations, and a guarantee of links or press coverage. We will not promise a Forbes or TechCrunch placement. If a piece of digital PR is sensible, it is scoped separately and the outcome is not guaranteed.

Can I buy the software instead?

Yes, as a secondary option. The business audit is USD 49 once for one site. The agency platform is USD 299 a month for the self-serve audit product, including your logo and colour on reports. Those are the amounts charged at signup. They are not the managed service.
