What drives AEO and website pricing

Answer Engine Optimization and traditional SEO differ: AEO is about how AI systems cite and recommend your business, not only where a page ranks in a ten-blue-links list. That means pricing follows the work—models audited, properties aligned, content placed, and how we prove progress over time.

• Markets and competition

  A single county trade business and a multi-state operator need different citation and content plans. We price for the visibility fight you are actually in.

• Website starting point

  Whether you need a new AI-structured build, a refresh, or ongoing maintenance changes how we scope design, schema, and update cadence.

• AEO depth and speed

  Audits, profile work, content seeding, and tracking can be dialed up or down. You choose the pace and aggressiveness that match your growth plan.

• Exclusivity and premium placement

  Options like county exclusivity or deeper authority programs are quoted separately so base programs stay easy to understand.

What a proposal can include

Depending on scope, a custom quote may combine scored AEO audits, Google Business Profile and NAP consistency, JSON-LD and service or location pages, AI-ready website design or maintenance, content seeding where models look for sources, and monthly reporting on AI citations. You get a written scope—no surprise line items.

Common questions about pricing

How much does AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) cost with Iris Digital Consulting?

Iris Digital Consulting does not publish a public price list. AEO and AI-optimized website work are quoted after a short discovery call. Investment depends on your trade, how many markets you serve, how competitive your category is, and whether you need a new site, ongoing content, or county-level exclusivity. You can book a strategy call or request a free AEO audit to get a tailored quote.

Is AEO pricing different from traditional SEO pricing?

Yes. Traditional SEO is often sold as a monthly retainer around keywords and rankings. AEO work focuses on how AI assistants cite and recommend your business—audits across multiple models, entity and schema work, content seeding, and citation tracking. Scope is matched to your visibility goals, not a fixed keyword list, so proposals are custom.

What is included in a custom AEO and website proposal?

Proposals can include a scored AEO audit, Google Business Profile and NAP alignment, JSON-LD and page structure, AI-ready website design or maintenance, content seeding where it matters, and monthly tracking of AI mentions. The mix is tailored; you only pay for what you need to hit your goals.
