    How much does AI search optimisation cost?

    It depends on how much work your business needs: how clear your identity already is, how many locations or services you have, and how competitive your market is. I don't publish one price because the scope is different for every business. Start with the free check, then we can talk through options on a call.

    What affects the price?

    The number of services and locations, the state of your website and listings, how much independent proof already exists, and whether you want a one-off sprint or ongoing support. Because cited sources change often, most businesses benefit from some ongoing monitoring.

    What can I do for free?

    A lot of the foundations: allow OpenAI's search crawler, keep your Google Business Profile complete, use the same business details everywhere, and rewrite key pages so the answer comes first. Google's own guidance for AI features is free to read and follow.

    Where do ChatGPT ads fit in?

    ChatGPT ads are a separate, paid way to be seen by Free and Go plan users, shown apart from the answer. They're useful for some businesses, but they aren't shown next to health topics and they don't change who ChatGPT recommends. We can manage them for you as part of our package.

    How do I get a price?

    Request pricing on the pricing page and book a short call. I'll look at your check results and recommend the smallest scope that will make a difference.
