Answer four questions about your business for an estimated monthly investment range for generative engine optimization, plus the Formative Digital tier that usually fits. It is an honest estimate to plan a budget, not a final quote.

How to use it
- Set your business size. Use your real headcount, not your ambition. A five-person firm and a fifty-person firm need different content volume to compete in AI answers.
- Set your number of locations. More locations means more local schema, more Google Business Profile work, and more geo-modified content, which moves the estimate up.
- Set your domain status. This decides whether the 12-month Results Guarantee can apply. It needs an established domain (4+ months) to have a baseline to measure against.
- Set your content ambition. Maintaining a footprint costs less than dominating a competitive category. Pick the outcome you actually want.
- Press Estimate. You get a recommended tier, an estimated monthly range, and what the tier includes. Enter your details to copy the full summary for your call.
Why it matters
GEO pricing is opaque across the whole category, and that opacity is where buyers get burned. Agencies quote a flat retainer without saying what drives it, then the scope drifts. This calculator does the opposite: it names the four inputs that actually change the cost (size, locations, domain maturity, ambition) and shows you the band before anyone gets on a call. That maps to Vector 1, Diagnose, the first of our 12 Vectors. You cannot price the work to make a business citable in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews until you have a clear read of where that business starts.
The honest limit of any calculator is that it cannot see your competitors or your current citation rate, and those two factors swing the real number more than headcount does. The estimate sets a planning range. The diagnostic call sets the price. The 12-month Results Guarantee, which applies to established domains, is what makes that price honest: if your existing domain shows no measurable organic search results after a year of work, we keep going at no further cost until it does.
The calculator gives you a range. A call gives you the number.
The estimate above is a planning band built from four inputs. The exact figure depends on your category, your competitors, and the state of your current schema and content, which we review on a short call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this AI SEO cost calculator accurate?
It is an honest estimate, not a quote. The calculator maps your four answers to one of our three published tiers and shows the investment range that tier usually sits in. It cannot see your competitors, your current citation rate, or the state of your schema, so it cannot price the exact work. The real number comes from a short call where we review your domain. Treat the output as a planning range, not a final price.
Why does the tool give a range instead of one price?
Because a single exact price would be false precision. Two businesses with the same employee count can need very different amounts of content, schema, and citation work depending on how competitive their category is and how much digital scaffolding already exists. A range is the honest way to set a budget expectation before we have looked at your domain. We give you the final figure in writing after the call.
Does the 12-month Results Guarantee apply to my business?
The Results Guarantee applies to established domains, meaning a domain at least four months old. If your existing domain shows no measurable organic search results after 12 months of work with us, we keep working at no further cost until results land. It is a continuation of work, not a refund. Brand-new domains do not qualify because there is no baseline to measure movement against yet; we tell you that openly before you sign.
What is the difference between the Starter, Growth, and Dominance tiers?
Starter covers the diagnostic, foundational schema, and a steady monthly content cadence for a single-location business beginning its AI visibility work. Growth activates all 12 Vectors with the full Formative Forces output volume for a scaling business or a small multi-location footprint. Dominance adds multi-engine citation distribution and production-scale reporting for market leaders in competitive categories or many locations. Full inclusions are listed at our pricing page.
Do I have to sign a long contract to get a quote?
No. The estimate is free and the call carries no obligation. Our service tiers are month-to-month with a written cancellation clause and no lock-in. Using this calculator does not commit you to anything; it gives you a budget range so the pricing conversation starts from an informed place rather than a cold one.
