Published AEO and GEO prices, read on agency and software websites on 24 October 2026, run from US$29 a month for an entry AI-visibility tracker to six-month agency programmes priced at up to $113,000 before tax, and the scope behind each figure explains most of that gap. This guide uses only prices that agencies and software vendors publish on their own pages, in Australia, Singapore, India, the United Kingdom and North America. Each figure is dated and shown in the currency the vendor prints; no currency is converted, and no quotation-only or proposal price appears. Aemorph's own starting points sit beside them in Singapore dollars, the currency of its published price table. The figures are dated October 2026 for 2027 budget planning.
The Cost Range at a Glance
Agency AEO and GEO prices published on agencies' own websites start at $1,950 a month plus GST for a Brisbane plan and reach $113,000 before tax for a six-month programme, each in the agency's own dollars, so compare scope, billing and currency before the headline figure. The packages priced here sell two services. AEO (answer engine optimisation) gets you quoted in Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, answer boxes and voice search answers. GEO (generative engine optimisation) earns citations and mentions for your business inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and GEO leads Aemorph's work. Both rest on SEO (search engine optimisation), which earns your place in the regular results of Google and Bing.

Fixed monthly plans, six-month programme estimates and one-time audits all appear on these pages, and Aemorph is the only provider here whose published terms commit to the accuracy of AI answers. None of the six agency pages read for this guide states a guarantee or contract terms. Aemorph's entity-first model sits beside them, quoted per engagement.
The figures sit in different currencies and scopes, so they are not ranked against each other here. Bought on its own, the Showstopper Sensor carries a factual-accuracy guarantee that none of the agency pricing pages sets out. The table below shows monthly prices only; the Sprints, from S$5,000 per website, are one-time.

How Much Does AEO Cost?
On the agency pages read on 24 October 2026, monthly AEO and GEO plans start at $1,950 plus GST (AI Format), $3,000 (WebFX) and $3,800 (Best SEO), each in the dollars the agency prints, and one-time GEO audits run from $2,500 (Best SEO) to between ₹2,50,000 and ₹4,00,000 (upGrowth). Two agencies also publish their own estimates of what their markets charge. WebFX's GEO pricing article puts agency GEO services at $1,500 to $5,000 a month for a small business, $5,000 to $25,000 or more for a medium business and $25,000 to $50,000 or more for an enterprise. Whitehat SEO, a London agency, puts a basic AEO add-on at £400 to £800 a month, a comprehensive SME programme at £1,500 to £5,000 and enterprise work at £6,000 to £24,000 or more. These two sets of figures are the agencies' estimates of their markets, not price lists. Aemorph quotes every engagement and publishes its starting points, set out under Aemorph's published pricing below.
Retainer, Project or Performance: How AEO and GEO Pricing Models Differ
Published AEO and GEO pricing splits on what the provider counts, whether pages, prompts, months or deliverables, and what gets counted decides whether the spend builds visibility that lasts. A provider's pricing model shows whether it is paid to build a verified record of your business or paid against a count of pages, keywords or prompts. Gartner forecast in 2024 that traditional search engine volume drops 25% by 2026 as buyers move to AI chatbots and other virtual agents (a global forecast; see the AI search statistics). Each pricing model buys something different:
- A monthly retainer pays for continuing work on your facts and pages. AI Format, WebFX and Best SEO's Growth package publish monthly prices.
- A one-off project delivers a fixed set of findings, pages or fixes and ends once that set ships. upGrowth and Best SEO publish one-time audit prices, and Aemorph's audits and Sprints are one-time.
- A combined programme prices an audit and a retainer together over a set period. AOK Marketing prices six months this way and lists monitoring software, PR, translation and legal review as add-ons budgeted separately.
- A performance fee ties payment to a stated metric. Ask any provider that offers one for the written terms of that metric.
Every Aemorph package runs the same system. Aemorph tracks prompt clusters, groups of the questions your buyers ask AI, to report progress, and the clusters do not set the price. The work centres on verified attribute coverage: the facts buyers ask about, supplied and approved by your business. Aemorph does not independently verify those business facts.
Why Do Some Agencies Charge Per Keyword and Others Don't?
Agencies and tools price by a countable unit because the unit is easy to report: AI Format sizes its plans by priority pages, Otterly.AI by search prompts, and Ahrefs sells its custom prompt packages by checks. Aemorph prioritises verified attribute coverage over page, keyword or prompt counts and prices each package on the output you need. A machine answering a buyer's question retrieves a fact, not a keyword ranking, and clear, verified facts give the engines something to retrieve and cite.
What Actually Moves AEO and GEO Price Up or Down
Across the published agency and tool pages, price moves with the output in scope, the AI surfaces covered, the length of the commitment and what the fee bundles, so compare what a plan delivers before its headline figure.
| Driver | Price Effect | Why | Example | Who It Affects Most |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Output the client needs | Raises price | More pages, answers and signal assets to produce, verify and publish | AI Format's Authority Plan covers typically up to 11 priority pages against up to 7 on Local Visibility; Aemorph's Attain adds 8 signal assets a month | Multi-service or multi-location businesses |
| Guarantee type | Changes the risk and remedy you compare | A factual-accuracy guarantee and a plan with no stated guarantee carry different remedies | Aemorph's Ground Truth Guarantee, when Sprint 1 is bought on its own, against the agency pages read here, none of which states a guarantee | Regulated or reputation-sensitive businesses |
| Number of AI surfaces covered | Raises price | Each engine added to the scope adds work to produce, check and track | Otterly.AI plans cover ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, with Google AI Mode and Gemini sold as add-ons; Peec AI prices on tracked prompts and models analysed | Businesses competing on several AI platforms |
| Programme length and project scope | Raises the total | A longer programme, or one that adds content restructuring, carries more hours | AOK Marketing's six-month entry-level estimate is $14,000 to $32,000 and its enterprise estimate $50,000 to $98,000; content restructuring raises both | Businesses setting an annual budget |
| Bundling with SEO | Lowers apparent price | AEO added inside an SEO fee shows a lower AEO figure | AI Format's Local Visibility Plan puts full SEO and AEO in one fee; Whitehat SEO's UK estimate lists a basic AEO add-on at £400 to £800 a month | Budget-constrained buyers already on an SEO retainer |
| Currency, tax and billing period | Changes the figure you compare | Published prices exclude tax in some markets and drop with annual billing | AI Format prices exclude GST; AOK Marketing's are before tax; Otterly.AI charges in US dollars; Peec AI offers 15% off annual billing; Ahrefs states savings of up to 17% on annual core plans | Finance teams comparing quotes line by line |
| Countries and languages | Changes cost for multi-market brands | Some vendors price per market, others track every market for one fee | Peec AI tracks any supported country or language at no additional cost; Otterly.AI lists 50+ countries on every plan; Aemorph prices its monthly packages per market | Brands selling in several countries |

Why Is AEO More Expensive Than SEO?
AEO and GEO do not always cost more than SEO: AI Format's lowest published plan, $1,950 a month plus GST, puts full SEO and AEO in one fee, and Whitehat SEO's UK estimate puts a basic AEO add-on at £400 to £800 a month. Where AEO and GEO work costs more than an SEO line, the difference is scope. SEO earns a position in a results list; AEO and GEO earn a place inside the answer itself. Aemorph checks whether AI answers match the facts you supply and approve, across more than one answer surface.

Aemorph publishes its starting points and quotes every engagement on the output you need, so you set a real floor beside the published agency and tool prices before the first meeting. The quote that follows the strategic conversation carries the figure for your business.

Three offers are free: the strategic conversation, the Hallucination Report and the Money on the Table audit. The Hallucination Diagnostic, a sample of 10 to 20 showstopper questions across the four AI chats with the report in 5 business days, is included in Sprint 1, the AEO-GEO Audit and the ESAG audit.

DIY Tools vs Hiring an Agency: Which Costs Less Overall?
An AI-visibility tool and an agency programme buy different things: the tool measures citation gaps on a subscription, and the cost comparison changes once you count the work it takes to close them. Each subscription below pays for measurement, not for the work that closes a gap.
| Tool | Plan | Price (as published) | What the price covers | Source and date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Otterly.AI | Lite, Standard and Premium | US$29, US$189 and US$489 a month, billed monthly; the vendor states it charges in US dollars | 15, 100 and 400 search prompts across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot; Enterprise by quote | Otterly.AI pricing page, read 24 Oct 2026 |
| Ahrefs | Brand Radar AI add-on | From $199 a month, no currency code shown | Research across 496 million+ organic prompts in the Ahrefs database, plus tracking of your own prompts | Ahrefs plans and pricing page, read 24 Oct 2026 |
| Ahrefs | Custom prompt packages: Basic, Growth and Scale | $50, $100 and $250 a month, no currency code shown | 2,500, 7,000 and 25,000 checks a month; one check is one prompt on one platform in one location | Ahrefs plans and pricing page, read 24 Oct 2026 |
| Profound | Trial and Enterprise | Trial free; Enterprise custom | Trial: 50 prompts daily for 7 days on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews; Enterprise: up to 9 answer engines | Profound pricing page, read 24 Oct 2026 |
| Peec AI | Starter, Pro, Advanced and Enterprise | The page as read shows no price figures; Enterprise is custom and billed annually | 50, 150 and 350 prompts with 3 models on the first three plans; pricing based on tracked prompts and models analysed | Peec AI pricing page, read 24 Oct 2026 |
Source: vendor pricing pages, read 24 October 2026. Prices appear as each vendor prints them; no currency is converted.
A tracker reports where a brand is cited and where it is absent. Measuring a gap is not the same as closing it: closing it depends on content production, publishing and technical implementation. The right route depends on your team:
- Choose a DIY tool if your team has the content and technical capacity to act on the gaps the tool finds, since that team gets full value from the subscription.
- Choose an agency if your team lacks that capacity, since measurement without the capacity to act on it leaves the gaps open.
- Choose the Hallucination Diagnostic first if the size of the gap is still unknown: a sample of 10 to 20 showstopper questions across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, with the report in 5 business days, presented on a call.
The agency versus DIY tools comparison sets out when tools alone are enough and when an agency is worth the difference.
Is AEO Worth the Cost?
Whether AEO and GEO spend pays off depends on whether your buyers already find you in AI answers, and price alone does not settle that question. The is AEO and GEO worth it guide sets out the full return-on-investment data, including when the spend does not make sense. One AEO result shows what the Google AI Overview side of the work looks like:
Case study · AEO, eyewear and eye care, Australia
Google AI Overviews cite Eye Concepts for 226 search terms.
Those terms carry 63,430 combined monthly searches, including "myopia" (8,200 a month), "eye twitching" (5,100) and "eye infection" (4,300). Read the Eye Concepts case study
Source: Ahrefs organic keywords, Australia, June 2026: search terms where the client's page appears as a source in the AI Overview, with keyword dates from 23 May to 30 June 2026. These are Google AI Overview citations, not citations in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity.
AEO and GEO Cost Guides for Individual Countries
Two country guides set out local published prices, local search data and Aemorph's prices in each market's currency.
- AEO and GEO cost in Australia: published Australian agency plans beside Aemorph's prices in Australian dollars, with Australian search engine share and AI adoption figures.
- AEO and GEO cost in Singapore: dated Singapore agency quotations and a published price band beside Aemorph's prices in Singapore dollars, with the grant route open to Singapore businesses.
Get a Price Scoped to Your Business
The fastest way to see a real, itemised number for your business is a direct conversation, not another published range. A strategic conversation is free, runs 30 to 60 minutes in your business hours and matches your business to the right package; Aemorph responds within 24 hours to all communication. Bought on its own, the Showstopper Sensor (Sprint 1) is the standalone start beside that conversation: correct in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity within 30 days of publishing, or a 100% refund of Sprint 1 and 60 more days of work. On the enterprise route, Sprint 1 runs inside Attain or Apex after the audit and the Influencer Blueprint.
