What moves your number up or down.

No mystery math. These four things decide how much work it takes for AI to pick you.

Size

More locations and more services mean more pages, more profiles and more questions to win. A single shop needs less ground covered than a business with five locations.

Industry

Some fields are simply harder. Legal and health topics get extra scrutiny from Google and AI, so the content needs more care and more proof behind it.

Competition

If three other businesses are already being named for your best questions, it takes more work to earn that spot than if nobody's doing anything yet.

Market

Who your customers are and where they live changes the questions they ask. A small-town market and a big metro, or a local and a national audience, need different amounts of work.

What AI search optimization costs elsewhere, and how we compare.

Monthly cost, on one scale. These aren't perfect apples-to-apples comparisons, so we've noted what each one covers and where the number comes from.

Why we can cost less than a big agency

We keep overhead low on purpose: a small senior team, no layers of account managers, and a roster capped at 30 partners. The money goes into the work, not the org chart.

The simple math most owners do.

Slide to what one new customer is worth to you over a typical job or a year. We'll show how many new customers a month it takes to cover the work.

Based on $2,000 a month, the middle of the Growing range. This is arithmetic, not a promise of results.

We publish our prices because you shouldn't have to guess. If the numbers work for you, great, let's talk. If they don't, you've lost nothing and saved yourself a sales call.

How much does The Good Marketing Team cost?

Partners invest between $750 and $3,995 a month for AI ranking optimization. About 30% land between $750 and $1,500, 45% between $1,500 and $2,500, and 25% between $2,500 and $3,995. Your number depends on your size, industry, competition and market.

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.

Get your exact number.

It starts with a free check of where you show up in AI search today. Then we'll give you a real number, in writing. 6 of 30 partner spots open.
