AEO pricing built around scope, not surprises.
How much does AEO cost? At Insyrge, every engagement starts with a one-off diagnostic from US$800. Monthly programmes start from US$1,050. The final fee depends on four things: how many buyer prompts we track, how many answer pages we produce, how many markets and languages you cover, and how much off-site citation work you need. You get the exact figure in writing after a 30-minute scoping call.

What affects the cost
Five things decide the size of a programme. Each one is listed in your written proposal, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Prompts tracked
How many buyer questions we run each month, and across how many AI engines. More prompts means more testing, analysis and reporting.
Pages produced
How many new and rewritten answer-first pages you need each month, and whether we write them or your team does.
Markets and languages
Each market needs its own prompt panel and sources, and often native-language content reviewed locally.
Off-site work
Digital PR, review and directory programmes and community work take the most time, and they move AI answers the most.
Your starting point
A site with crawl, rendering or schema problems needs a fix sprint before content work pays off. The diagnostic shows how much.
How an engagement works
From first call to monthly reporting, in five steps.
Scoping call (30 minutes)
We learn your offers, markets and goals, and agree which buyer questions matter. No obligation.
Written proposal
You get a fixed fee in writing, with the prompts, pages, markets and off-site work it covers listed out.
Diagnostic and baseline
We run the prompt panel, map who gets cited instead of you, review your technical setup and deliver the 90-day plan.
Monthly programme
We fix, publish and earn citations, then re-run the prompt panel each month to see what moved.
Report and review
Monthly reporting on citations, AI referrals and CRM leads, with a quarterly review to re-plan the next 90 days.
Why it is worth paying for
AI answers are changing what people click. In a study of 68,879 Google searches by 900 U.S. adults, Pew Research Center found that users clicked a traditional search result in 8% of visits when an AI summary appeared, against 15% when none did. They clicked a link inside the summary itself in just 1% of visits. When fewer people click through, the business the answer names is the one that gets the enquiry.

How much does AEO cost with Insyrge?
Insyrge quotes every engagement in writing after a 30-minute scoping call. The diagnostic is a one-off fixed fee from US$800. Monthly programmes start from US$1,050 for Launch and US$1,700 for Growth. Enterprise is priced from US$6,800 depending on markets, languages and brands.
Why is AEO priced by scope rather than a flat package?
The work scales with four things: the number of buyer prompts tracked, the number of answer pages produced, the markets and languages covered, and the amount of off-site citation work. Two businesses can need very different amounts of each, so a flat package would overcharge one and underserve the other.
What is included in the diagnostic?
A prompt panel and baseline across the major AI engines, a map of competitors and the sources those engines cite, a technical and schema review, an entity sheet, and a prioritised 90-day plan. If you continue into a monthly programme, the diagnostic fee is credited against it.
Is there a minimum term?
Monthly programmes run month to month after a three-month start. Off-site work such as digital PR and citations usually needs about three months before it shows up in AI answers.
Can our own team do the writing?
Yes. We can supply briefs and review your drafts instead of writing the pages ourselves, which reduces the fee.
Do you offer one-off projects?
Yes. The diagnostic, a technical AEO fix sprint and a CRM attribution setup can each be run on their own.
How do you report results?
Each month you get the prompt panel results, which engines cite you and for which questions, the sources cited instead of you, AI referral traffic, and leads attributed in your CRM.
Why does AEO matter if we already do SEO?
AI answers change how people click. Pew Research Center found that Google users clicked a traditional result in 8% of visits when an AI summary appeared, against 15% when none appeared, and clicked a link inside the summary in only 1% of visits. Being the source the answer cites matters more than ranking below it.
