How much does AI search optimization cost?

AI search optimization cost varies widely depending on how much of the work you automate versus buy from an agency. Standalone GEO monitoring tools that track AI citations run from roughly fifty to a few hundred dollars a month.

Full service agencies charging for AI visibility work, including content rewrites and technical fixes, often bill similarly to standard SEO retainers, commonly landing somewhere between a few hundred and several thousand dollars monthly depending on site size and competitiveness. Software that automates content creation and optimization together tends to cost less than paying a team to do the same work by hand.

Since GEO overlaps heavily with existing SEO work, many businesses fold it into an existing SEO budget rather than treating it as a brand new line item.
