2026 GEO Pricing Benchmark
The number is public. The scope is usually the real price.
This benchmark records only amounts visible on official provider pages. It preserves the original currency and billing unit, names what each offer appears to cover, and refuses to turn unlike services into a fake league table.
Public fact
Evidence reviewed 2026-08-12 · Official provider pages only · Missing prices stay missing
Reading contract
Public fact first. Tenten interpretation second.
A monthly software plan, a 30-day off-site campaign and an integrated agency retainer solve different jobs. We show them together for buying context, not as interchangeable bids.
- No currency conversion or invented market average.
- No price inferred from a consultation-only page.
- Every amount retains its billing unit, scope caveat and official URL.
- Provider-authored market research is labeled separately from a provider's own offer.

The page displays starting monthly prices for hybrid SEO/LLM consulting and managed programs. Higher tiers add content and backlink output.
Scope caveat: The page displays two price sets and discusses 120-day, month-to-month and longer discounted terms. Confirm which displayed price and commitment applies to the quote.

Fixed 30-day off-site campaigns combine brand mentions, community mentions, editorial placements and campaign reporting, with tier-specific quantities.
Scope caveat: This is the off-site campaign product, not the separate full AI Visibility program. It should not be compared with a technical audit or managed content operation on price alone.

The official page posts an individual monthly engagement starting at $500, covering a mix of technical foundation, content/entity work, PR citations, monitoring and reporting.
Scope caveat: The exact amount is set after a 30-minute call based on technical condition, content volume and niche competition. The starting price is not a fixed full-scope package.

The page posts a free audit tier, monthly Pro and Agency software plans, plus done-for-you technical implementation starting at a one-time price.
Scope caveat: Software limits and a bounded technical implementation are not a strategic agency retainer. Compare prompt, audit, workspace and implementation limits before using this as an agency-cost proxy.
Official sourceWhat the evidence supports
Five public price shapes, not one market average
The observed prices reveal different value metrics and buying motions. The responsible conclusion is to identify the job and missing scope before comparing spend.
- I1
Monthly price can buy software access, advisory, or an operating team; the unit alone does not reveal delivery depth.
- I2
A 30-day campaign can be easier to approve because outputs and timing are bounded, but off-site work does not replace technical or owned-content work.
- I3
A low starting price often leaves final scope to diagnosis; use it as an entry threshold, not a finished budget.
- I4
Placement, media, tool, localization and developer costs may sit outside the displayed agency fee.
- I5
None of these public pages supports a universal GEO market average or a cheapest-to-best ranking.

Decision framework
Buy an audit, a sprint or an operating cadence?
Match the engagement to the uncertainty you need to remove, not to the cheapest visible number.
audit
Audit
- Choose it when
- You cannot yet show where citations are missing, which prompts matter, or which fixes deserve priority.
- What to buy
- A dated baseline, query/source evidence, competitor gaps, technical checks and an owned roadmap with acceptance criteria.
- Boundary to write down
- An audit diagnoses and prioritizes. Confirm whether implementation, monitoring and re-testing are included or separate.
sprint
Sprint
- Choose it when
- The backlog is known and can be bounded to controlled implementation or one ethical off-site campaign.
- What to buy
- A written backlog, approval owner, delivery window, evidence handoff and explicit exclusions. Choose technical Fix Pack or source-authority work deliberately.
- Boundary to write down
- Third-party publication and AI citations cannot be guaranteed. New discoveries must not silently expand a fixed sprint.
managed
Managed operation
- Choose it when
- You need recurring content, tracking, rewrite decisions and cross-functional ownership after the first backlog ships.
- What to buy
- A cadence with named outputs, query-set governance, tracking methodology, review windows, responsible owners and termination terms.
- Boundary to write down
- Confirm markets, languages, content volume, tool access, implementation capacity and what happens when evidence does not improve.
Hidden-cost checklist
Ask where the displayed fee stops
A useful quote makes adjacent work visible before procurement, not after kickoff.
Diagnosis and onboarding
Is the baseline included, credited later, or billed before the listed plan begins?
Expert and editorial time
Who supplies subject-matter interviews, approvals, legal review and revisions?
Technical implementation
Does the provider deploy changes, open pull requests, configure the CMS, or only recommend fixes?
Monitoring limits
Which engines, prompts, competitors, countries, refresh frequencies, seats and exports are included?
External media and placements
Are sponsorship, distribution, placement, partner or wire costs separate, and how are paid relationships disclosed?
Localization and markets
Does each additional language require source research, transcreation, local review and a separate query set?
Attribution and data
Who owns analytics setup, CRM integration, dashboards and the evidence needed to connect citations to pipeline?
Term, exit and rework
What are the minimum term, notice period, renewal, cancellation, unused-work and revision rules?
Quote-preparation worksheet
Send every agency the same buying brief
Complete these fields before calls. Consistent inputs produce quotes that are easier to compare without pretending the offers are identical.
Copy these prompts into your procurement brief and require unknowns to remain marked as unknown.
Business decision
Which revenue, risk or buying decision should improved AI visibility support?
Markets and languages
Name the countries, locales and launch order. Do not use ‘global’ as a scope.
Priority query set
List buyer questions, engines and the evidence source for query importance.
Current baseline
Attach dated observations, cited sources, analytics and known technical blockers; mark missing data.
Owned capabilities
State who can supply expertise, content approval, development, CMS access, PR and analytics.
Required outputs
Separate audit evidence, shipped changes, content, outreach, monitoring and reporting.
Commercial boundaries
Request fee, billing unit, external costs, term, notice, acceptance criteria, dependencies and exclusions.
Pricing benchmark FAQ
What this page can, and cannot: answer
What is the average cost of GEO services?
This evidence set does not support one defensible average. It contains different units and scopes: software, monthly advisory/management, a fixed off-site campaign and a provider-authored market model. An arithmetic average would imply comparability that is not present.
Why are quote-only agencies missing?
Because this page records public amounts only. A provider can be relevant or excellent while publishing no price; we leave that price unknown instead of inferring it from clients, headcount or adjacent services.
Are the prices converted into my local currency?
No. Competitor evidence stays in its posted USD form to avoid exchange-rate precision and tax assumptions. Tenten's own cards use the live localized pricing content for this locale.
Does the lowest posted amount represent the cheapest agency?
No. A starting price may cover software, a limited scope or work whose final amount is set after diagnosis. Compare the job, outputs, dependencies, external costs and contract, not the first number.
How often should this benchmark be checked?
Before each procurement decision. Prices, packages and terms can change without notice. Follow the official source link and confirm the quote in writing; the evidence date on this page is 2026-08-12.
