Study in progressHow much does AI SEO cost in Austin?
The same as for any business we work with, wherever it is: Visibility audit is $1,500 once, The AI Visibility Engine is $3,500 a month and Search plus AI is $7,500 a month. The pricing section below has every plan and term.

What is generative engine optimization?
It is the work of shaping your content, data and reputation so that AI engines pick and name you when they answer questions in your market.
Is this the same as AEO or AI SEO?
For practical purposes, yes. Answer engine optimization, LLM optimization and AI SEO are different labels for the same goal. The work underneath is identical.
Can you guarantee we will be cited?
No, and any agency that promises it is guessing. Engines change how they choose sources without notice. We remove every structural reason a model would pass you over, and publish data that gives it a reason to choose you. That is why our guarantee is about measurable movement, not a particular placement.
Should we stop doing regular SEO?
No. Every engine still starts by searching, and classic SEO is what gets you found in that first step. This builds on it, which is why most clients run both.
How do you track citations?
We build a fixed set of buyer questions from your commercial keywords and run it through each engine every month. Every answer is logged in full, with its sources and whether you or a competitor appeared. You get the raw log, not an invented score.
How long before anything moves?
Perplexity and Google AI Overviews usually respond within four to eight weeks of pages being rebuilt. ChatGPT tends to lag because it relies more on third-party mentions. Most clients see steady movement by the end of the first quarter.
Should we block AI crawlers to protect our content?
It is a real trade-off and your call. Blocking them keeps your content out of training and out of answers, but it also removes you as a possible source. For most service businesses, being named is worth far more than what is given up.
Will lots of AI-written content help?
No. Generic volume earns nothing, because engines look for specifics and outside confirmation. We use AI tools for research and drafting, but every claim we publish comes from your real data or is checked elsewhere.
What happens if the guarantee kicks in?
We keep delivering the full engine at no cost until your citations clear the baseline. No cap, no claim form. Billing resumes the month they clear.
Is the one-per-market limit real?
Yes, it is in the agreement. If your category and market are already taken, we will tell you on the first call.
What does the free audit involve?
Read-only access to Search Console and GA4 for a few days, a short version of the citation baseline, and a 30-minute call on what we found. You keep the findings either way.
