When the budget is limited, the most expensive expenditure is not the fee, but the three to six months wasted after looking for the wrong person. Picking the GEO consultant, the high CP value is not the lowest bidder, but the time you can see, hand over the results you can personally verify and leave the method inside your company, not tie you to him.
Just figure out what's going on with the GEO consultant fee.
A lot of bosses look at the price only at the total, and it'll make you the wrong person. GEO consultants spend four kinds of money: one-time situational diagnosis, monthly execution and content production, recasting the page as the structure that the AI engine can remove, and visibility tracking. It's the same "monthly cost of 30,000", and someone's missing only one of your PDFs, and they've changed your page for you, and they're staring at ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, whether or not they're starting to quote you. Take these four pieces apart before you know if you've bought them.
In Taiwan, there's a price range.
Here's a rough picture of Tenten's viewing of Taiwan's market, which will actually be affected by competition in the industry and by the floating of the website. Get you prepared, not a price bill.
- One-time GEO audit: approximately NT $30,000-60,000, delivery gap list and enforceable amendment sequence, usually four to six weeks.
- Monthly fee retention (Technology Implementation) often falls in NT$40,000-120,000/month, with a difference between the number of pages produced per month and the depth of tracking.
- One GEO article: An Depth that can be quoted about NT$8,000-20,000, the difficulty of researching and rewriting.
- Pure consultation hours: An hour or so of NT$4,000-8,000, suitable for a company that already has an internal team and has only one direction.
If someone asks for a much lower price than this, it usually means that he uses "GEO" as a key word or a large amount of AI content. The content of the AI engine is not only not quoted, but may also slow down your whole credibility signal.
The budget is limited. Do you want to buy a trial or a monthly fee?
Almost all first bought the audit. The one-time diagnosis showed you the smallest amount of money you can get to see where your gap is, and the question is whether the consultant understands or not. When you get a review, you can build a few low-cost, high-impact projects on your own, such as adding the answer structure to the page, rewriting the product page as a real user question, and concentrating the monthly fee on the part that really needs expertise.
Five questions about the value of CPs
In addition to the offer, these five questions can be used to remove 80% of the inappropriate audience:
- How do you prove results? If the answer is only ranking or traffic, there is no "Ai engine quotes us" tracking, skipping.
- Can I read the delivery? A good consultant gives you a list of things that you can do on your own, not a pile of words.
- Will this be left in my company? High CP value consultants help you build skills, not depend.
- Have you ever been in a business like mine? B2B SaaS has a much different logic from the electrician's GEO, asking to see similar cases.
- What will you give in 30 days? When no physical milestones are presented, no physical results are usually presented.
These red flags, they don't pay back.
No one can guarantee the output of the AI engine. With a large number of AI-generated content-resilient factors, the short-term looks cost-effective, and actually the AI engine prefers content that is sourced, structured, realistic, and that produces thin content only dilutes your brand signal. And the other is that the report is beautiful, but it's all general advice, and it's not about you.
A cheap consultant gives you a report, a trusted advisor, a worthy consultant gives you a system that you can run down.
Prioritize the limited budget
Assuming you only have a NT$ 150,000 GEO budget for a year, I'll split it between a full audit of about NT$40,000 and a correction order; then invest the NT$60,000 in three or five of the most critical quotes, usually a comparison of the decision-making segment, a price-fixing page and a common problem page; and the rest for quarterly visibility check and fine-tuning. The point is to focus the money on a few pages of "decisions, AI's most frequently asked" rather than on the entire site on average.
First you know the gaps, then you decide how much.
Budget limitations are actually good, and it forces you to only do what really pays off. Before paying any monthly fee, it takes 30 minutes to clear up your gaps and prioritize. If you want to know where your website is now in front of the AI engine, which pages are worth the first investment, you can expect Tenten's 30-minute GEO diagnosis, and we'll tell you where the gap is, not the first price.
