The work that changes the number
Engagements run from $4,500 to $12,000 per month over a six-month minimum term. Where you sit inside that depends on how much ground has to be covered and how far ahead the suppliers currently being named are. The audit tells us both, which is why we quote after it.
What moves the number
Five things. None of them is how much you can afford.
- Markets and product lines. One category in one market sits at the bottom of the range. Four product lines across five countries sits at the top.
- Languages and territories. Each additional language is a separate entity and query universe, not a translation.
- The size of the gap. A company already cited occasionally needs less work than one AI systems have never heard of.
- How fast you want to close it. The method has a floor of four to six months. Compressing coverage into that window costs more than spreading it over nine.
- How much already exists. A site with real technical documentation gives us material to work with. A brochure site does not.
The category you sell into changes the questions, not the method. The three we cover most deeply are listed on the industries page.
What every engagement includes
- Entity map and query universe for your category
- Pages built or rebuilt every month, written to be quoted by AI systems
- Schema and structured data across everything we produce
- External authority placements every month
- A monthly citation report showing your movement and your competitors’
- A standing review with the founder
Engagements differ in volume and breadth. They do not differ in method, and they do not differ in who does the work.
What’s excluded
- Paid advertising of any kind
- Website design or rebuild beyond the pages we produce
- Translation and localisation, quoted separately
- Trade press advertising or paid placement fees
- Third-party tool licences held in your name
Terms and the one guarantee
- PaymentMonthly in advance, six-month minimum term.
- ContinuationFrom month seven the engagement continues at the same monthly rate, rolling quarterly, with 60 days’ notice to end.
- CurrencyAll figures in US dollars.
If the Entity Map and Query Universe are not delivered within 30 days of kick-off, you may end the engagement and we refund that month in full. That is the one thing we guarantee in writing. We do not guarantee citations, rankings, traffic or leads, because nobody can.
Documented engagements
The method requires direct involvement at every stage, so we take on three engagements per quarter and no more.
We publish our results. Where you agree to a documented case study and a reference call, your monthly rate is held for 24 months and you have direct access to the founder regardless of scope. What that costs you is permission to publish the work under your name, a quotable statement on completion, and one reference call per quarter for up to a year.
Measurement first, then the work
The full audit fee comes off an engagement beginning within 60 days of the findings session.
A six-month engagement costs less than one recovered order
For a company selling equipment at six figures, that comparison is not rhetorical.
The harder question is not whether it is worth it. It is whether you are actually absent — and that costs $4,500 to find out.
Estimate your band
Six questions. You get a range and an email, not a quote. The audit confirms the figure.
