How much does GEO (AI search optimization) cost?
GEO, short for generative engine optimization, is the work of getting your business named in AI answers. Agencies typically charge $1,500 to $5,000 a month for small businesses and $5,000 to $25,000 or more for mid-size companies, according to WebFX's 2026 pricing guide. Our partners invest $750 to $3,995 a month.
How much does it cost to get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
You can't pay ChatGPT to name you in its answers. Where ads exist, they're labeled separately from the answer itself. What you pay for is the work that makes AI choose you on its own: a site AI can read, pages that answer real questions, a strong Google profile, and mentions on trusted sites. Our partners invest $750 to $3,995 a month for that work.
What's the difference between GEO and SEO?
SEO is about ranking as a link on Google. GEO, or AI ranking optimization, is about getting named and cited inside the answers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity give. They share a foundation, but AI rewards different things: clear answers, consistent facts across the web, and mentions on trusted sites. We focus on AI first, and the search groundwork comes with it.
Is AI ranking optimization worth it for a small business?
For most local businesses, yes. 45% of consumers now use AI tools to find local businesses, up from 6% a year earlier. And when Google shows an AI Overview, the top result gets 58% fewer clicks. If AI names a competitor, you may never get the chance to compete.
Is it cheaper to hire someone in-house for AI search?
Usually not. The median pay for market research analysts and marketing specialists was $78,760 a year in May 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's about $6,560 a month before benefits, taxes and tools, and AI search is new enough that few people have done it at scale.
Why do you show a range instead of one price?
Because a one-location landscaper in a small town and a multi-location law firm in a big city need very different amounts of work to get named by AI. One flat price would mean one of them overpays.
What's included at every level?
Every partner gets a free AI visibility check to start, all five layers of the Pine Method, Google Business Profile care, a plain-English report card every month showing where AI names you, and a small senior team. The difference between levels is how much ground we cover each month.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Every plan is month to month. AI answers change constantly, so we'd rather earn your business every month than lock you in.
Why are you less expensive than big agencies?
We keep overhead low on purpose: a small senior team, no layers of account managers, and a roster capped at 30 partners. More of what you pay goes into the work itself.
How do I get my exact number?
Start with the free AI visibility check. We'll walk you through where AI names you and where it names competitors on a short call, then give you a written number based on what your business actually needs.
What if my budget is under $750 a month?
We're probably not the right fit yet, and we'll tell you that honestly. The free check is still yours, and it will show you what to work on yourself first.
