Pricing and packages

How much does GEO cost?
Professional GEO typically costs $3,000 to $10,000 per month, depending on scope. Cited offers three packages: Foundation at $2,500 per month, Growth at $5,000 per month and Authority from $9,000 per month, plus a one-time AI visibility audit.
What is included in the Foundation package?
Foundation ($2,500/month) covers website GEO optimization, schema markup, AI crawler access, Wikidata and core profiles like G2, Capterra and Crunchbase, tracking of 25 buyer prompts across AI engines, a monthly report and a monthly strategy call.
What is included in the Growth package?
Growth ($5,000/month) includes everything in Foundation, plus four GEO articles per month, Reddit and community presence, one to two niche or trade press placements per month, tracking of 75 prompts and strategy calls every two weeks.
What is included in the Authority package?
Authority (from $9,000/month) includes everything in Growth, plus eight articles per month, tier-one press outreach, a quarterly original data study, Wikipedia work where eligible, tracking of 150+ prompts, weekly calls and a dedicated strategist.
Which package is right for me?
Foundation suits smaller businesses fixing their basics. Growth is our core offer for startups and scale-ups competing in crowded categories. Authority is for funded companies and market leaders who need to dominate AI answers in competitive categories.
How much does the AI visibility audit cost?
The full audit costs $1,500 and is credited against your first month if you sign a package. For a quick snapshot, you can also run Cited’s free 60-second AI visibility score on our website.
Is there a minimum contract length?
Yes, three months. GEO results build over time as AI tools recrawl your site and pick up new mentions, so three months is the minimum period to show meaningful, measurable progress. After that, packages continue month to month.
Can I buy press placements without a monthly package?
Yes. Tier-one placements are available as an add-on, priced at $4,000 to $8,000 each depending on the publication, and billed only once the article is published.
Can I switch packages later?
Yes. Many clients start on Foundation or Growth and upgrade once they see results. You can move up at any time, and move down at the end of your current billing period after the three-month minimum.
Why is GEO priced as a monthly retainer?
AI visibility isn’t a one-time fix. AI models update, competitors publish new content, and fresh mentions keep your brand current. A retainer funds the ongoing content, outreach, monitoring and adjustments needed to keep and grow your position.

Results, timelines and measurement

How long does GEO take to work?
Most clients see first improvements in live-search AI tools like Perplexity within 4 to 8 weeks. Meaningful, consistent visibility across engines usually takes 3 to 6 months, because AI tools need time to recrawl content and pick up new third-party mentions.
How do you measure GEO results?
Cited tracks a fixed set of buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and AI Overviews every month. We measure how often you are mentioned, your share of answers versus competitors, how accurately you’re described and which sources AI cites.
What is “share of voice” in AI search?
AI share of voice is the percentage of relevant AI answers that mention your brand compared with competitors. If AI names you in 30 of 100 tracked prompts, your share of voice is 30%. It’s the clearest single number for GEO progress.
What is the AI visibility score?
The AI visibility score is Cited’s 0–100 rating of how visible, accurate and recommended your brand is across AI engines. It combines mention rate, description accuracy, citation sources and technical readiness, so you can track progress in one number.
Can you guarantee we’ll be recommended by ChatGPT?
No one can honestly guarantee specific AI answers, because AI companies control their models and answers vary between users and sessions. What Cited guarantees is the work, transparent tracking, and a clear plan focused on the signals that drive recommendations.
Why do AI answers change from day to day?
AI tools generate answers fresh each time, influenced by phrasing, user context, location and live search results. That’s why Cited tracks many prompts repeatedly and reports trends over time instead of judging success from a single answer.
Will GEO bring more traffic to my website?
Often, yes, but traffic is only part of the value. Many buyers read an AI recommendation and then search your brand directly, contact sales or visit later. We track referral traffic from AI tools alongside branded search growth and inbound leads.
How do I track traffic from ChatGPT and other AI tools?
In Google Analytics, look for referral sources like chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com and claude.ai. Asking new leads “How did you hear about us?” with an AI option also captures visits that analytics tools miss.
What happens if results are slower than expected?
We review the data with you, identify what’s holding progress back, and change priorities, for example shifting effort from content to PR or reviews. Monthly reporting means you always see where things stand and why.
