Why the work costs this

SEO vs AEO. What each line item is worth.

How the engagement is weighted

You are not buying a blog quota. You are buying the mix that moves Google traffic and AI citations. These weights explain why quotes start at $5,000 and move with scope.

Monthly refresh

Why we refresh money pages first, then blogs.

Amsive + Ahrefs

AI citations skew new. If the commercial pages go stale, you fall out of the answers even after the first 60-90 days of build.

Amsive research

~50% of AI citations are under 13 weeks old

Roughly half of AI citations come from content less than 13 weeks old. A page you shipped in month one is already aging out by month four unless it is refreshed.

Ahrefs

Fresh pages get 67% more AI citations

Recently updated pages average 6 citations vs 3.6 for outdated pages. That is why refresh sits on both engagements - not as a nice-to-have.

Refresh money pages first. Then blogs. That order is not optional.

Questions

FAQ

10 answers
What is the difference between the two plans?

On-site is the same: technical SEO and AEO fixes, 4 money pages a month for the first 60-90 days then 1 a month, 8 MOFU/BOFU blogs, and a monthly refresh.

Expand category coverage is the off-site upgrade. 5 authority posts instead of 3. 25 brand mentions instead of 10. 10 backlinks instead of 5. Publications are bigger: higher-tier, more visible, same-or-adjacent niche. Same four outcomes. Faster. Both start from the $5,000 floor; scope changes the quote.

Why 4 money pages, then 1?

The first 60-90 days are a build. You need the comparison, alternatives, and use-case pages your category already loses to review sites. Money pages are 30% of SEO and 25% of AEO.

After that set exists, one new money page a month plus refresh is how the system compounds. Volume without those pages is just blogs.

Why 8 MOFU/BOFU blogs a month?

These are commercial blogs for buyers already comparing vendors - not we post a lot. They support the money pages. 8% of SEO. 10% of AEO.

Eight a month is enough to cover the questions a committee asks after the shortlist page, without turning the retainer into a TOFU factory.

Why refresh monthly?

Amsive research: roughly half of AI citations come from content less than 13 weeks old. Ahrefs: recently updated pages average 6 citations vs 3.6 for outdated pages - 67% more.

We refresh money pages first, then blogs. That is the order on both engagements.

Do you replace an in-house Head of SEO?

For many teams, yes - as fractional SEO and AI visibility leadership. One senior owner across Google and AI search, without a full-time hire.

How do we start?

Book a 30-minute growth review, grab a Free AEO Report Card, or use the contact page. We look at where you are missing from AI answers and which scope fits: Build the foundation or Expand category coverage. Engagements start at $5,000.

Proof already on this site: Lumanu, Rise (288% organic / 575% AI search), Pactvera, iSpeedToLead, and Stablecoin Insider. See case studies.

Why do engagements start at $5,000/month?

Because the work is senior-led from day one. The $5,000/month floor covers technical SEO and AEO fixes, 4 money pages a month for the first 60-90 days, 8 MOFU/BOFU blogs, a monthly refresh, and off-site authority work. You are not paying for an account manager layer.

Lower-priced AEO packages exist. They usually cover monitoring or content volume only, not the money pages and citations that get you shortlisted.

Can I get a quote before I commit to anything?

Yes. Get your quote in a 30-minute call. We look at where AI engines recommend competitors instead of you, which scope fits, and what it would cost. There is no obligation to sign.

How is this different from hiring a large SEO agency?

Large SEO agencies usually sell a senior pitch and staff the account with juniors. Here, the person who scopes the work is the person who owns it. One senior owner across Google and AI search, with a small, fixed scope you can check every month.

How will we know it is working?

We track the four outcomes the plans are built for: AI citations, AI referral traffic, Google clicks, and qualified leads. Proof already published on this site: Lumanu, Rise (288% organic / 575% AI search), Pactvera, iSpeedToLead, and Stablecoin Insider. See case studies.
