Pricing
Free audit first. After that, a base fee plus a bonus that is only paid when the metrics we agreed on improve.
Example / not final We have not published fixed prices yet. Concrete amounts are quoted after the free audit, based on the number of questions, engines and markets.
Pricing model
| Part | What it covers | When you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Free audit | Question set, baseline measurement on each engine, fix list | Never |
| Base fee | Implementation work and monthly re-tests | Monthly, agreed in advance |
| Results bonus | Paid only if the agreed metric reaches the agreed target | After a re-test shows the target was met |
How results are measured
Before any paid work starts, we agree on these in writing:
- The fixed question set (the same questions every time).
- The engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, DeepSeek, or a subset).
- How many times each question is run per re-test, and how results are collected.
- The metric (for example mention rate or position) and the target compared with the baseline.
FAQ
Why not publish a price list?
The work depends on how many questions, engines and markets you care about. We would rather quote after measuring than guess.
What if the target is not met?
Then the results bonus is not paid. The base fee covers the work done.
Is there a long-term contract?
Terms are agreed case by case after the audit.
