Quick Answer: AEO pricing depends on the work included, content volume, services and locations covered, tracking scope, and implementation needs. Compare complete written scopes rather than an isolated monthly fee. For Intleacht’s current package figures and terms, use the pricing page. Older blog examples should not be treated as a current quote.
What are you paying an agency to do?
A meaningful proposal identifies who improves the website, who writes and publishes content, who corrects business listings, and who maintains structured data. It also explains prompt tracking, competitor coverage, Google Business Profile work, and reporting. The work should address your actual services and markets. A report alone is different from a service that implements the changes it recommends.
Separate recurring fees from setup and variable costs
List monthly management, initial implementation or a website rebuild, additional pages or locations, third-party tools, and any paid advertising. Clarify whether ad spend is included or paid directly to the advertising platform. Get the payment schedule, term, renewal, cancellation conditions, and ownership provisions in writing so the total commitment is clear before signing.
What makes the scope larger or smaller?
A single-location contractor with a few services has different needs from a multi-location business with several specialties. Content research, original evidence, prompt sampling, implementation effort, and competitive conditions affect the work. A low quote may omit publishing or technical changes; a high quote still needs a concrete explanation. Avoid assuming that more articles automatically deliver greater value.
How should you compare proposals?
Ask each agency for the same information: named deliverables, volumes, cadence, platforms, responsibilities, sample reporting, and evidence from comparable clients. Confirm who fixes schema and indexing issues and who owns the site and accounts. Compare like-for-like scope. Do not treat an AI screenshot or a promised recommendation as a substitute for accountable delivery.
When might AEO be worth the cost?
Start with the services that matter to revenue, the questions buyers ask, and the gaps in current visibility. Estimate the qualified leads and closed jobs needed to cover the full cost using your own margins and close rate. Track outcomes consistently. If the business cannot respond to inquiries, has inaccurate listings, or lacks a functioning conversion path, correct those limitations alongside the visibility work.
How do you assess results without inflated ROI?
Keep delivered work, AI mentions, webpage citations, traffic, qualified leads, and closed revenue separate. A citation may create awareness without an identifiable visit, but that does not justify assigning invented revenue to it. Review the same prompt sample over time and include limitations. No agency controls every answer or can promise a universal date when the program pays for itself.
