What moves the price, what is always included, and when not to choose us. Pricing # What does it cost to have AI recommend you? Updated: 12 September 2026 In short aiseo42 keeps no public price list, because GEO pricing turns on scope: how many answer engines and buyer questions you need to be present for, how ready your current site is for machine reading, and whether new content is required. The quote is a fixed sum rather than an hourly rate, and it follows from the free AI visibility check. This page sets out what moves the price, what is always included, and when not to choose us. ## What drives the price up? Every aiseo42 quote is built from the same five factors. Two of them are yours to move — the number of question areas and the number of markets — and that is exactly why they are worth discussing before the quote. - **How many question areas you need to cover.** Five buyer questions is a different order of magnitude from fifty. This is the strongest driver, and it is the one we can narrow down together. - **How many markets and languages.** One market is one programme; English and Hungarian together are two, because answer engines draw on different sources in each language. - **What state your current site is in.** If the content only appears after JavaScript runs, or there is no structured data, the foundation has to be fixed first. - **Whether new content is needed.** If the knowledge exists but in the wrong form, that is editing. If there is no substantive answer to the question, that is writing — and writing costs more. - **How contested the topic is.** Where named competitors fight over the same questions, holding a position is ongoing work, not a one-off. ## What don't you have to pay extra for? A few items are routinely invoiced as add-ons in this market. At aiseo42 they sit in the base price, because the work would not function without them: - The free AI visibility check — yours even if you never ask for a quote. - Structured data and machine readability: at aiseo42 that is standard equipment, not an add-on. - The monthly report and recording the baseline month. - Your feedback on the copy — sign-off is part of the process, not a separate line item. ## What does every quote include? - **A fixed sum, in writing.** Not an hourly estimate whose end nobody can see: if we underestimated the work, that is our risk, not yours. - **Itemised scope.** The quote also states what is *not* included — that is the most common source of disputes, so we settle it up front. - **A baseline month.** At the start we record what the engines answer today for your questions. Without it no later number means anything. - **A monthly report.** Which questions you appear for, which you do not, and who gets named instead of you. - **No tool access fee.** We do not sell a dashboard and we do not tie you to a licence — aiseo42 invoices the work, not the access. ## When should you not choose aiseo42? Writing this down is more honest than letting it surface in the first conversation. Four cases where you are better off elsewhere than with aiseo42: - **If you are looking for the cheapest quote.** We do not compete on that, and it is better to know now than at the third exchange of emails. - **If you expect results tomorrow.** Answer engines shift their sources over weeks, not days. Anyone promising an immediate jump is either measuring something else or not telling the truth. - **If you have an in-house team with time for this.** Then a self-serve tool is cheaper and sufficient — and we will say so honestly after the check. - **If your service is not ready.** Visibility amplifies what exists: with a weak offer, more reach only brings the rejections faster. Choose aiseo42 if your buyers research with AI before they buy, you have a substantive answer to their questions, and you want to see in numbers where you stand — not just be told that work is happening. ## How do you get a quote? - 01 **You send your domain** The web address and one sentence about what you want to be found for is enough. We ask for access to nothing. - 02 **We run the check** We look at what answer engines say today to the typical buyer questions in your market, and whether your name comes up at all. - 03 **You get it in writing** A readable summary of what they say, what they do not, and who gets named instead of you. A reply within one business day. - 04 **A quote, if you want one** Fixed sum, itemised scope, deadline. If you do not want one, the result of the check is still yours to keep. ## Frequently asked questions about pricing Why don't you publish a specific price? Because a published number either lies or means nothing. At aiseo42 two engagements that look similar at first glance can differ threefold — depending on how many question areas and markets are involved, and whether the existing site is fit for machine reading at all. A "from X" label hides that, and anchors in the wrong direction: it either scares off someone for whom it would be cheaper, or raises false hopes in someone for whom it will cost more. Fixed fee or monthly retainer? Both exist, and the quote says which one fits your task. A one-off clean-up — technical foundation, structured data, making existing copy citable — is a fixed-fee project. Ongoing presence is a retainer, because the sources behind an answer rotate month to month. aiseo42 does not sell a retainer for work that is genuinely one-off. Are there hidden costs? Beyond the quote there is nothing we invoice. Costs outside our control may include your own hosting or CDN bill if it needs upgrading, or a new domain. We name those in the quote in advance, and they are billed to you directly — they do not run through us. What happens if I stop halfway? Whatever is finished stays yours: the copy, the structured data and the technical changes live on your site, not in a system we operate. Nothing in our work switches off when the engagement ends. For the ongoing programme the notice period is set out in the quote. How long between my enquiry and the quote? The free check typically takes a few working days, because we run real queries across five answer engines rather than forwarding a tool's automated score. The quote follows after that, and only if you want one. aiseo42 does not run a follow-up call sequence: if you do not come back, we do not chase you.
