Service
AI SEO services measured in tracked prompts
AI SEO services here track twenty, sixty or one hundred and fifty prompts each month from $400/mo, across ChatGPT and Perplexity. The work is schema and structure aimed at getting your pages cited rather than just ranked.
In one line
AI search optimization, also called AEO or GEO, is work aimed, from $400/mo, at getting a site cited inside AI answers rather than only ranked in blue links. Here it is measured by tracked prompts: a set number of real questions checked each month to see whether your pages are cited, and by whom you are being displaced.

These ai seo services are billed at the price shown, with no scoping call in the way. Baseline visibility audit within 10 business days.
Every tier is billed monthly, and the scope is fixed by a brief you agree before anything is invoiced.
This search is new enough that page one includes a Reddit thread ranking agencies. Every commercial page promises AI visibility and none of them publish how it is measured, which is the only part a buyer can hold them to.
Everything each tier includes and excludes
The same list that drives the price cards, laid out so the tiers can be read against each other. Exclusions are printed because an unstated exclusion is what turns a good month into an argument.

Which tier you actually need
Tiers are set by how many prompts are tracked each month. More prompts means more coverage of how buyers actually ask, not more work per prompt.
All three ai seo services run the same process and the same reporting. What changes between them is volume.
Starter
A site with published content that wants to find out, factually, whether it is being cited anywhere.
You are on this tier when: You suspect buyers are asking models about your category and you have no measurement at all.
Growth
A site acting on the findings, where answer-format briefs are needed to close the gaps the baseline exposed.
You are on this tier when: Your baseline showed competitors cited on prompts you should own.
Scale
Broad coverage with entity and knowledge-graph work across the whole site rather than page by page.
You are on this tier when: You are competing on many prompts at once and your entity data is inconsistent across the web.
The unit of measurement is published, and so is the limit
Short answer
A tracked prompt is one real question checked monthly across ChatGPT and Perplexity, recording whether you are cited and which sources are cited instead. Guaranteed citations are excluded at every tier, because no provider controls what a model returns.
Every competitor page on this search sells the outcome. This one sells the measurement, because the outcome is not in anyone’s gift.
Tracking makes the work falsifiable month to month, which is the only honest way to sell into a channel this young.
Everything that works in SEO works in AEO, but there are additional things beyond SEO that also work in AEO.
Why this matters
What an AI search month actually contains
AI answer engines cite pages; they do not send a ranking report. What can be counted is the prompt set, the citations found against it, and the pages restructured to be quotable.
How a month actually runs
Order, brief, production, delivery, report. The same four steps every month, so a second month can be compared against a first.
- 1
Days 1 to 10
Baseline
A visibility baseline across your tracked prompts, so month two has something to be compared against.
- 2
Weeks 2 to 4
Structural fixes
Schema, headings, answer formatting and internal structure on the pages that should be the cited source.
- 3
Ongoing
Re-measurement
The same prompts re-run monthly. Changing the prompt set mid-engagement would destroy the comparison, so changes are agreed deliberately.
- 4
Month end
Citation report
Movement, displacement, and which competitor is being cited where you are not.
The LLM is summarizing many citations. And so you need to get mentioned as many times as possible.
Why this matters
What a tracked prompt looks like
- A real question a buyer would ask, not your brand name
- Checked in ChatGPT and Perplexity on the same day each month
- Recorded as cited, mentioned, or absent
- With the competing sources that were cited instead
Brand-name prompts are excluded from the tracked set by default. Being cited when someone already searched for you proves very little.

Most of this market is renamed SEO, and buyers have noticed
Short answer
A practitioner thread ranking on this exact term puts it bluntly: most of the market is currently just rebranding traditional SEO as AI SEO. That is a fair description of a lot of what is sold under this label.
Two of the ten results on this search are community threads asking what is genuinely different. That is not a market with a settled answer.
So the useful reply is a unit of measurement rather than a manifesto. What is different here is that you are buying a stated number of tracked prompts, and you can see whether you appear in them.
Where the work overlaps ordinary SEO, it is said so below rather than dressed up as a separate discipline.
What is genuinely different is narrow: whether a model returns you as a source. Renamed SEO is the accusation, and the answer to it is a countable unit rather than a louder claim.
The observation above comes from a practitioner thread on this exact question.
What the price buys at each tier
Cost per tracked prompt, worked out
Short answer
Starter works out at $20 a tracked prompt, Growth at $15, and Scale at about $13. A prompt is the only countable unit this discipline has so far, and nothing else in this search result publishes a per-unit figure at all.
It is a scope unit rather than a value unit. Twenty prompts that match real buying questions are worth more than a hundred that nobody types.
The number falls with tier because the setup and the reporting format are shared once built, not because the checking gets thinner.
What the money buys underneath is structural fixes, entity and knowledge-graph work at Scale, and the checking itself. An AI SEO agency selling the same thing at ten times the price is usually bundling a content program into it.
Attribution here is weaker than it is anywhere else
Short answer
An AI citation often sends no referrer and sometimes no click at all. This cannot be measured the way paid or organic traffic is, and any provider reporting revenue from AI citations is modelling rather than measuring.
What is measurable is whether you appear for a given prompt, and which sources appear instead of you. That is the whole basis of the report.
Saying this out loud costs a sale occasionally. It costs less than a client discovering it in month three.
What being crawled by an AI system is actually worth
A documented first-hand account, not a market pattern. Cloudflare identifies crawls by the user-agent associated with each platform and referrals by the Referer header, over one week of requests to sites it serves; the company notes in the same post that traffic from Claude's native app carries no Referer header, which inflates that ratio.
The premise of this whole category is that being read by an AI system leads to being sent visitors by one. Cloudflare measured that on its own network, and the gap is larger than the pitch suggests.
For the week of 19 to 26 June 2025, Anthropic’s crawler requested roughly 70,900 pages for every referral it sent back. Mistral, at the other end, sent about ten referrals for every crawl. That is four orders of magnitude between two platforms doing nominally the same thing.
Which is why the phrase AI traffic means very little without naming a platform. Google AI Overviews, an assistant answering in a chat window, and a retrieval product citing sources are three different economics, and only one of them was ever a search result.
So this is sold as a monthly retainer against tracked prompts rather than against sessions. Entry level here is $400/mo at the published price, against agency pricing for this category that starts around $2,500/mo and runs past $12,000 a month, and the price on the page is the whole of it.
What this does not say: Cloudflare measures the traffic crossing its own network, which is a large sample but not the whole web.

The measurement caveat the people doing the measuring published themselves
A documented first-hand account, not a market pattern. The limitation is stated by the measuring party in the same post that publishes the ratios, describing a known gap in its own instrumentation rather than an external critique.
The same post carries a limitation that anyone quoting these ratios should quote with them. Referral counting depends on the Referer header.
Traffic arriving from a platform’s native application does not carry one, so those visits are invisible to the method. The published ratios are upper bounds, not exact figures, and the size of the undercount is not knowable from outside.
That is a real constraint on what this service can promise. AI visibility has weaker attribution than organic search and cannot be measured like clicks, which is why the deliverable here is a prompt set, a schema markup and knowledge graph pass, and a monthly record of what changed.
The full stack version of this work has four layers: crawlability, answerable structure, entity consistency, and citation tracking. Agencies such as Coalition Technologies price it as part of a wider retainer. None of them, and not us, can turn review counts or a turnaround promise into a guaranteed citation.
What this does not say: The size of the undercount is not published, so the correction cannot be applied.

Generative engine optimization, answer engine optimization, same work
Generative engine optimization and answer engine optimization are two names for this line, and a third arrives every quarter. What they describe is the same productized service: make the page quotable, keep the entity consistent, and measure a fixed prompt set.
What we cannot show you, and what to check instead
A competitor ranking on this term describes itself as the number one agency in the category, backed by 800+ case studies, and carries a 4.8 rating on hundreds of reviews. There is nothing comparable here, and none of it will be invented.
It is also worth asking what a case study measures in a discipline barely two years old, and against what baseline.
What is checkable instead is on this page: the price per tracked prompt, what is excluded in writing, and a monthly report that names which sources were cited instead of you.
The comparison is a competitor claiming 800+ case studies.
How billing works, and what cancelling changes
Short answer
Billed monthly in advance. There is no minimum contract and no notice period, so cancelling stops the next renewal. The schema, the briefs and every report produced stay yours.
Structural work does not unwind when a retainer ends. The markup stays on the site and the briefs stay in your hands.
The same policy is set out in what cancelling AI Search Optimization means in the terms.
When this is too early to buy
Short answer
AI search work is premature on a site with no content worth citing, no schema, or unresolved indexing problems. Models cite pages they can find and parse, so conventional SEO hygiene is a prerequisite rather than an alternative.
- Your pages are not indexed. Fix that first; nothing here works around it.
- You have little published content. There is nothing for a model to cite yet.
- You want guaranteed citations. Excluded at every tier, by every honest provider.
- You need the content written too. Content writing is excluded at Starter.
Questions before you order
This is the newest thing we sell and the one with the least settled evidence behind it. Ask what we can and cannot measure before you commit a month to it.
How much do AI SEO packages cost?
Published agency pricing for AI SEO packages starts around $2,500/mo and runs past $12,000. Here it is $400/mo for 20 tracked prompts, $900 for 60, and $2,000 for 150.
What is a tracked prompt?
One real question a buyer would type, checked monthly across ChatGPT and Perplexity, recording whether you are cited and which sources are cited instead. The second half is usually the more useful half.
What does one tracked prompt cost?
About $20 at Starter, $15 at Growth and $13 at Scale. It is the only per-unit figure published anywhere in this category, and it is a scope unit rather than a value one.
Can you promise my site gets cited?
No, and it is excluded in writing at every tier. Nobody controls what a model returns, outputs vary between sessions and model versions, and a provider promising citations is describing a system they do not own.
Is AI SEO just traditional SEO with a new name?
For much of the market, largely yes, and buyers say so on threads that rank for this term. The honest position is that the work overlaps heavily with ordinary SEO, and what is different is the measurement: a stated set of prompts, checked.
How do you measure whether it is working?
By whether you appear for tracked prompts and who appears instead. Attribution is weaker here than in any other channel, because an AI citation often sends no referrer and sometimes no click.
Is there a minimum contract or a notice period?
Neither. Billing is monthly and cancelling stops the next renewal. Schema, briefs and reports produced stay yours.
Which engines do you track?
ChatGPT and Perplexity at every tier. Others are named across this category but are not tracked here, and the tier says so rather than implying full coverage.
Do I need this instead of ordinary SEO?
Alongside it, not instead. Crawlable, well-structured, specific pages help both, and buying this while the ordinary fundamentals are broken is the wrong order.
How soon does the baseline audit arrive?
Within 10 business days of the brief being agreed. It records where you currently stand across the tracked prompts, so later months have something to compare against.
