(Real Prices, Not Estimates) **AI Format, an Australian agency that publishes AEO and GEO prices on its own website, lists plans from $1,950 a month to a Custom Plan from $4,680 a month, each plus GST, as read on 24 October 2026.** What each of those prices buys decides whether Australian buyers find your business inside AI answers or only beneath them. This guide uses only prices that Australian agencies publish on their own pages, dated and attributed, and sets them beside Aemorph's own starting points. It includes no quoted or proposal-only prices, and the figures are dated October 2026 for 2027 budget planning. Aemorph is headquartered in Singapore, has no office in Australia and quotes Australian clients in Australian dollars; the agency prices below appear in dollars exactly as each agency publishes them, and no currency is converted. Written by [Kevin Dam](https://aemorph.com/en-au/about/), founder of Aemorph, who has practised SEO since 2010 and sits on the [Forbes Agency Council](https://councils.forbes.com/profile/Kevin-Dam-Global-Search-Architect-%7C-SEO-GEO-AEO-IMO-LLM-Visibility-Aemorph/4c8c7a38-1285-470d-8ea8-e517a310a00b).

[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevindam) --- ## The Australian Cost Range at a Glance **AI Format publishes plan prices and starting prices for AEO and GEO work in Australia, from its $1,950 SEO and AEO plan to its Custom Plan from $4,680 a month, each plus GST, so an Australian budget starts from published figures rather than guesses.** The packages priced here sell two services. [AEO](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#aeo-answer-engine-optimisation) (answer engine optimisation) gets you quoted in Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, answer boxes and voice search answers. [GEO](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#geo-generative-engine-optimisation) (generative engine optimisation) earns citations and mentions for your business inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. Both rest on [SEO](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#seo-search-engine-optimisation) (search engine optimisation), which earns your place in the regular results of Google and Bing. | Provider | Package | Price (as published) | Billing | Guarantee or commitment | Contract terms | Source and date | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AI Format | Local Visibility Plan, typically up to 7 priority pages | $1,950 a month plus GST | Monthly | None stated on its plans page | Not stated on its plans page | AI Format plans page, read 24 Oct 2026 | | AI Format | Authority Plan, typically up to 11 priority pages | $3,900 a month plus GST | Monthly | None stated on its plans page | Not stated on its plans page | AI Format plans page, read 24 Oct 2026 | | AI Format | Custom Plan, adds GEO monitoring and strategy sprints | From $4,680 a month plus GST | Monthly | None stated on its plans page | Not stated on its plans page | AI Format plans page, read 24 Oct 2026 | | Aemorph | Audits | Audits from A$1,100 | One-time | The Ground Truth Guarantee does not cover the audits | Terms are set out in your quote | Aemorph pricing, October 2026 | | Aemorph | Sprints: the [Showstopper Sensor (Sprint 1)](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#showstopper-sensor-sprint-1), a 30-day showstopper-answer sprint for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and [Entity Hardening (Sprint 2)](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#entity-hardening-sprint-2), its technical entity SEO sprint | Sprints from A$5,500 per website | One-time | The [Ground Truth Guarantee](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#ground-truth-guarantee) on the Showstopper Sensor (Sprint 1), only when bought on its own: 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.

Sources: AI Format website, read 24 October 2026; Aemorph pricing, October 2026. Agency prices appear as each agency publishes them; Aemorph quotes in Australian dollars; no currency is converted.* **AI Format's Local Visibility Plan is the lowest standalone monthly price published on these pages, and Aemorph is the only provider here whose published terms commit to the accuracy of AI answers.** The published prices on this page split two ways: fixed plans sized by priority pages (AI Format) and Aemorph's entity-first model, quoted per engagement in Australian dollars. Aemorph publishes its enterprise starting point in Australian dollars, and AI Format publishes different packages and scopes in dollars; no currency conversion is applied here. Bought on its own, the Showstopper Sensor carries a factual-accuracy guarantee that the AI Format plans page does not set out. The table below shows monthly prices only; the Sprints, from A$5,500 per website, are one-time. | Provider | Package | Monthly price (as published) | Billing | Source and date | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AI Format | Local Visibility, Authority and Custom plans | $1,950, $3,900 and from $4,680, each plus GST | Monthly | AI Format plans page, read 24 Oct 2026 | | Aemorph | Monthly packages, Awaken to Apex | Enterprise (Attain, Apex) from A$13,750 a month, a starting point; smaller packages by application only | Monthly | Aemorph pricing, October 2026 | ### How Much Does AEO Cost in Australia? **AI Format's Local Visibility Plan, covering SEO and AEO, starts at $1,950 a month plus GST; its Custom Plan, which adds GEO monitoring and strategy sprints, starts from $4,680 a month plus GST, as read on 24 October 2026.** AI Format's Authority Plan sits at $3,900 a month plus GST. These figures are published starting prices, not a market ceiling. Aemorph quotes every engagement in Australian dollars and publishes its starting points, set out under Aemorph's published pricing below. --- ## Retainer, Project or Performance: How Australian AEO and GEO Pricing Models Differ **Australian AEO and GEO pricing splits on what the provider measures, not on the name of the package, and what gets measured decides whether your spend builds visibility that lasts.** Each engine answers from what it has learned and looked up about your business across many sources, and your website is only one of them. 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 for Australia](https://aemorph.com/en-au/statistics/ai-search-statistics-australia/)). The work Aemorph prices covers several answer surfaces, the AI chats, Google AI Overviews, featured snippets and voice search answers, not one search engine slot. Each pricing model buys something different: - **A monthly retainer** pays for continuing work on your facts and pages. AI Format, above, publishes monthly prices. - **A one-off project** delivers a fixed set of pages or fixes and ends once that set ships. Aemorph's audits and Sprints are one-time. - **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](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#prompt-cluster), 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. A business that fills those attributes gives the engines more to cite than a business that ranks for more keywords with several attributes left blank. ### Why Do Some Australian Agencies Price by Page or Keyword and Others Don't? **Agencies price by a countable unit, such as priority pages or keywords, because that unit is easy to report, and AI Format sizes its plans that way, at typically up to 7 priority pages for Local Visibility and typically up to 11 for Authority.** Aemorph prioritises verified attribute coverage over page or keyword counts and prices each package on the output you need, not on a count of pages, keywords or prompts. 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. --- ## Australian Search Spans Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and Bing, So Scope Sets the Price **Australian buyers search mostly on Google, which shows AI Overviews nationwide and began rolling out AI Mode in October 2025, while Bing holds a share close to a tenth, so the number of surfaces in your scope moves the price.** Google held 87.9% of search engine market share in Australia in September 2026 and Bing 9.17% (StatCounter). Aemorph's tracking for Australian clients includes Bing Webmaster Tools alongside Google Search Console, so Bing visibility is part of the measured scope rather than an extra line. | Measure | Figure | Market and date | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Google search engine market share | 87.9% | Australia, September 2026 | StatCounter | | Bing search engine market share | 9.17% | Australia, September 2026 | StatCounter | | Google AI Overviews | Rolled out Australia-wide | Australia, 29 October 2024 | Google Australia | | Google AI Mode | Rollout began, in English | Australia, 8 October 2025 | Google Australia | | Adults who recently used a generative AI tool | 45.6% | Australia, survey of more than 5,500 adults, published November 2025 | ADM+S | | SMEs reporting some AI adoption | 43% | Australia, December 2025 to February 2026 | National AI Centre | *Sources: StatCounter Global Stats, search engine market share, Australia, September 2026; Google Australia, "Introducing AI Overviews in Australia", 29 October 2024; Google Australia, "AI Mode in Australia", 8 October 2025; ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S), national survey, 5 November 2025; National AI Centre, AI adoption insights, December 2025 to February 2026.* A scope that covers Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Bing and the four AI chats carries more work to produce, check and track than a scope that covers one of them. --- ## What Actually Moves AEO and GEO Price Up or Down in Australia **Across the published Australian plans and Aemorph's own pricing, price follows the output in scope, the surfaces covered and how the work is bundled, so compare what each plan delivers before its headline figure.** Six considerations account for the main differences between the published figures. | 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 citation-metric commitment measure different things and offer different remedies | Aemorph's Ground Truth Guarantee, when Sprint 1 is bought on its own, against a headline that ties payment to a citation metric | Regulated or reputation-sensitive businesses | | Number of AI surfaces covered | Raises price | GEO targets citation in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity; AEO targets Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, answer boxes and voice search answers; each surface added to the scope adds work | A Google-only scope against one that adds AI Mode, Bing and the four AI chats | Businesses competing on several AI platforms | | Published GEO monitoring inclusions | Changes the stated scope | Some plans list GEO monitoring only at a higher tier | AI Format's Custom Plan, from $4,680 a month plus GST, adds GEO monitoring and strategy sprints; Local Visibility and Authority include SEO and AEO | Businesses that want GEO monitoring in the stated scope | | Bundling with SEO | Lowers apparent price | AEO and GEO added as an extra line on an existing SEO retainer | Ask whether a quoted AEO and GEO price is an add-on to an SEO retainer or a standalone programme | Budget-constrained buyers already on an SEO retainer | | GST and currency | Changes the figure you compare | Published Australian prices exclude GST; Aemorph quotes Australian clients in Australian dollars | AI Format "plus GST"; Aemorph from A$13,750 a month for enterprise | Finance teams comparing quotes line by line | *Price considerations in the Australian AEO and GEO market. Sources: AI Format website, read 24 October 2026; Aemorph pricing, October 2026.* ### Why Is AEO More Expensive Than SEO in Australia? **AEO and GEO do not always cost more than SEO in Australia: AI Format's lowest published plan, $1,950 a month plus GST, includes full SEO and AEO in one fee.** 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, and Aemorph checks whether AI answers match the facts you supply and approve, across more than one answer surface. --- ## Aemorph's Published Pricing for Australian Businesses **Aemorph publishes its starting points and quotes every Australian engagement in Australian dollars on the output you need, so you set a real floor beside the published agency prices before the first meeting.** The quote that follows the strategic conversation carries the figure for your business. ### How much does Aemorph charge Australian businesses for AEO and GEO? **Aemorph publishes audits from A$1,100 one-time and enterprise monthly engagements from A$13,750 a month for Australian businesses, quoted in Australian dollars; smaller monthly packages are available by application only.** | Offer | Price | | --- | --- | | Audits | From A$1,100 one-time | | Sprints | From A$5,500 per website | | Influencer Blueprint (SEO strategy and roadmap) | From A$16,500 one-time | | Enterprise monthly engagements (Attain, Apex) | From A$13,750 a month | *Smaller monthly packages are available by application only, against strict criteria; details are on the [pricing page](https://aemorph.com/en-au/pricing/).

The Showstopper Sensor and Entity Hardening together produce your [Brand Codex](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#brand-codex), your brand fact sheet: the single source of truth for what AI says about you. Any business, at any size, buys Sprint 1 or Sprint 2 on its own, starting with the free strategic conversation. On the enterprise route, the strategic conversation leads to the AEO-GEO Audit or the ESAG audit, then the Influencer Blueprint, then Attain or Apex, with the Showstopper Sensor (Sprint 1) and Entity Hardening (Sprint 2) delivered inside the engagement. The five monthly packages, [Awaken, Anchor, Ascend, Attain and Apex](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#awaken-anchor-ascend-attain-and-apex), run the same system and are quoted on the output you need. **Buy the Showstopper Sensor (Sprint 1) on its own and it carries the [Ground Truth Guarantee](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#ground-truth-guarantee), the only written factual-accuracy guarantee among the providers on this page.** The Ground Truth Guarantee: within 30 days of publishing, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity answer your showstopper questions with the facts in your Brand Codex. If they do not, Aemorph refunds 100% of your Sprint 1 fee and keeps working on the answers for a further 60 days, 90 days in total. The monthly packages carry the separate 45-day outline guarantee. The AI Format plans page read for this guide sets out no written guarantee terms. *Terms: the Ground Truth Guarantee covers Sprint 1 bought on its own; Sprint 1 inside a monthly package carries no refund; it does not cover Sprint 2 ([Entity Hardening](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#entity-hardening-sprint-2)), search rankings or Google AI Overviews. [Full terms](https://aemorph.com/en-au/pricing/#the-ground-truth-guarantee)* --- ## DIY Tools vs Hiring an Agency in Australia: Which Costs Less Overall? **A DIY 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.** A tool such as Profound or Ahrefs Brand Radar 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](https://aemorph.com/en-au/services/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 in Australian business hours. The [agency versus DIY tools comparison](https://aemorph.com/en-au/compare/aeo-agency-vs-diy-tools/) sets out when tools alone are enough and when an agency is worth the difference. ### Is AEO Worth the Cost in Australia? **Whether AEO and GEO spend pays off depends on whether your Australian buyers already find you in AI answers, and price alone does not settle that question.** The [is AEO and GEO worth it guide](https://aemorph.com/en-au/guides/is-aeo-worth-it-roi/) sets out the full return-on-investment data, including when the spend does not make sense. What the AEO side buys in Australia looks like this: > **Case study · AEO, eyewear and eye care, Australia** > > **Google AI Overviews cite Eye Concepts for 226 Australian 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](https://aemorph.com/en-au/case-studies/eye-concepts/) *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.* --- ## Get a Price Scoped to Your Australian Business **The fastest way to see a real, itemised number for your business is a direct conversation, not another published range.** A [strategic conversation](https://aemorph.com/en-au/glossary/#strategic-conversation) is free, runs 30 to 60 minutes in Australian 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)](https://aemorph.com/en-au/services/30-day-showstopper-sensor-sprint/) 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.
