Questions
No jargon, just answers.
Total clarity before we ever pick up a tool. Don’t see your question? Ask us directly.
How much does SEO and AEO cost?
Monthly programs start at $1,250, $2,350 and $4,500 a month. One-time SEO audits start at $850 and scale with site size. Every price is a starting point, not a fixed fee. We give you a clear estimate after a strategy call.
What is AEO, and how is it different from SEO?
SEO helps your pages rank in search results. AEO, answer engine optimization, helps your brand get found and cited in AI answers. We work on both from the same technical and content foundation.
How long does SEO take to work?
SEO typically shows meaningful growth within 3 to 6 months, depending on your competition and where your site starts. We set realistic expectations during your strategy session.
How do you report on SEO results?
We tie reporting to leads and revenue, not just rankings and traffic, so you can see what search is actually earning.
