Starter AI SEO Package

Every month the Starter package delivers a fixed, defined set of work so you always know what you are paying for. You get an AI visibility audit that establishes your baseline mention and citation rates, on-page optimization plus core schema on up to five of your priority pages, answer-first AEO and FAQ content for three key pages, an llms.txt file with confirmation that AI crawlers can access your content, and a monthly AI-visibility snapshot covering one or two major engines. Email support is included for questions about the work. The scope is intentionally narrow so the price stays low and predictable; anything beyond it is either quoted separately or handled by upgrading to the Growth package when you are ready.

Starter is designed for small businesses, local service providers and solopreneurs who are new to AI SEO and want a low-risk, fixed-scope way to begin appearing in AI answers. It fits best if you have a modest website of a few important pages, little or no structured AI SEO today, and a desire for clear deliverables rather than an open-ended retainer. You should skip Starter and look at Growth or Enterprise if you need large content volume, citation or digital-PR campaigns, multi-market or multi-language coverage, competitor share-of-voice tracking across every engine, or a dedicated strategist. If you are unsure, the most honest starting point for most newcomers is this tier, and everything we build carries forward if you upgrade later.

The Starter package is a flat $500 per month (USD), billed month to month, with pricing confirmed before you commit. That flat fee covers the full defined scope: the baseline audit, on-page and schema work on up to five pages, AEO content on three pages, llms.txt and AI-crawler access, the monthly snapshot, and email support. There is no long lock-in — you can continue month to month as long as it delivers value for you. Work that falls outside the listed scope, such as citation campaigns or extra content, is quoted separately or addressed by moving up to the Growth package. We keep the pricing simple on purpose so a small business can budget for AI SEO without surprises.

Traditional SEO aims to rank your pages in Google's list of blue links, where a user still has to click through. The Starter package adds AI SEO — also called GEO and AEO — which targets how AI engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Copilot and Claude understand, select and cite your business inside the answer itself, increasingly where buyers make a shortlist before any click. The disciplines overlap, because clean, crawlable, genuinely useful content helps both, but Starter specifically adds answer-first AEO content, core schema that matches your pages, llms.txt and AI-crawler access, plus measurement of your mention and citation rates. In short, it builds the foundations that classic SEO alone does not address.

The engines we track across our packages are ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Anthropic's Claude. The Starter monthly snapshot deliberately focuses on one or two of the major engines rather than all of them — this keeps the tier affordable and the report readable for a business just beginning with AI SEO. During onboarding and the baseline audit we identify which engines your specific customers are most likely to use, so the snapshot focuses where it matters most for you. If you later want tracking across all major engines plus competitor share of voice, that broader measurement is part of the Growth package, and we can upgrade you while carrying your baseline and history forward.

No, and you should be cautious of anyone who promises that. AI engines decide what to say using models and sources outside any provider's control, and their answers change over time and vary by user and location. What the Starter package does is improve and measure the inputs that make a citation more likely: clear, extractable content on your priority pages, core schema that matches what visitors see, consistent business information, an llms.txt file, and confirmed AI-crawler access. We then report your mention and citation movement honestly in the monthly snapshot. Our commitment is to a transparent method and measurable progress on the fundamentals, not to a guaranteed outcome that no legitimate provider can promise for AI search.

Very little to begin, which is part of why Starter works well for busy small-business owners. We need access to edit your website or the ability to coordinate with your developer, your correct and current business information (legal name, services, locations and contact details) so we can make it consistent everywhere engines look, and the three priority pages you want answer-first AEO content on — or you can let us recommend them from the baseline audit. Throughout the engagement your main input is accurate information and timely approvals when we send work for review. We handle the auditing, the on-page and schema work, the content drafting, the technical access checks and the reporting, so the day-to-day effort on your side stays light.

Honestly, it varies, and anyone promising a fixed date is guessing. The first one to two weeks go into onboarding and the baseline audit, and the on-page, schema and AEO work is delivered within the first month. AI visibility can sometimes build faster than traditional Google rankings because it depends more on clear content, consistent information and accessibility than on domain age, so for less competitive, specific prompts you may see early movement within a couple of months. Competitive prompts take longer and often need the citation and content work found in higher tiers. Because Starter is a foundation package, the early months are about establishing your baseline and fixing fundamentals, and we report any movement honestly as it appears rather than overselling it.

llms.txt is a simple text file placed on your website that signals to AI systems which content you want them to find and use, acting as a lightweight, AI-oriented companion to your robots.txt and sitemap. It is an emerging, optional standard — not every engine reads it today — so we treat it as a sensible, low-cost addition rather than a magic switch. In the Starter package we add llms.txt and, just as importantly, confirm that AI crawlers such as GPTBot, Google-Extended and PerplexityBot can actually reach the pages that should be visible to them. The crawler-access check often matters more than the file itself, because content an engine cannot reach can never be cited, no matter how well it is written.

Yes, and the Starter package is designed to be a foundation you build on rather than a dead end. Everything we do at this tier — your baseline audit, the on-page and schema improvements, the AEO content, the llms.txt and crawler-access work, and your visibility history — carries straight into the Growth package when you upgrade. Growth adds more content each month, entity-consistency cleanup, light citation building, tracking across all major engines with competitor share of voice, and a monthly strategy call. Enterprise goes further still, with technical and programmatic AI SEO at scale, digital-PR and citation campaigns, multi-market and multi-language coverage, and a dedicated strategist. We will recommend an upgrade only when the evidence in your reports shows you are ready for it.
