An AI SEO service uses software to do the SEO work: the research, the checks, and the fixes. This page shows what that work is. It shows what sellers charge for it. And it gives you six questions to ask before you pay anyone. Our own price is $297 a month, with no contract. Figures measured July 8, 2026.
No contract · 60-day money-back guarantee on your first purchase · your site stays yours.
An AI SEO service uses software to do the SEO work on your website. The software reads live search data. It crawls your site and finds what is holding it back. Then a person decides what to fix first and checks the work. All of it happens on the site you already own.
The category has four names. AI SEO. Generative engine optimization, or GEO. Answer engine optimization, or AEO. And automated SEO. The names keep piling up because the category is new. The job underneath is the same job.
Here is the difference, in plain words. AI SEO is the wide name. GEO and AEO are narrower. Both mean showing up inside an AI answer. Think of the summary at the top of Google. Or a reply from ChatGPT when someone asks it for a business like yours. Not just a blue link in a list.
Sellers blur all four names together. So here is the whole job, line by line, and where our $297 plan lands on each one.
| The job | What it means in plain words | In our $297 plan? |
|---|---|---|
| Research | Real search numbers from live data, not a guess from a chat window | Yes |
| A full audit of your site | What is broken, what is slow, what is missing. Written down and put in order | Yes |
| A plan, then the fixes | Your plan within 14 days. Then we start on the worst problems | Yes |
| The technical work | Speed, page structure, dead links, page titles, schema, internal links | Yes |
| Pages an AI can read | Clear answers and the tags that tell software what your page is about | Yes |
| On-site local SEO | The local signals on the pages you already have | Yes |
| Reporting you can read | A weekly update, and a monthly report on selected rankings and AI visibility | Yes |
| New articles and blog posts | Writing brand new pages for your site | No |
| Google Business Profile management | Running the profile itself. That stays in your hands | No |
| Google Ads | Paid clicks, billed by Google every time someone taps | No |
What separates this market is the checking. Software can list a hundred problems in a minute. Only a person can tell you which three matter and then go fix them. A seller who skips that step is selling you a report and handing you the work. Cannot be found in search at all right now? Start with the usual reasons a business does not show up on Google. You can check all seven yourself in about ten minutes.
Most sellers in this category quote $1,500 to $5,000 a month. The price can honestly drop to a few hundred. That only happens when software really does the parts that repeat. The gap between those two numbers is where the confusion lives.
For scale, the average SEO retainer is $1,557 a month. That comes from an Ahrefs survey of 439 providers. Most sellers here price against that same band. Putting software in the work has not moved the sticker yet.
| What you buy | What it costs | What you get | The usual catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| A self-serve AI tool | "Cheap" | A tool you drive yourself, on your own schedule | Nobody does the work. It hands you a list and you fix it |
| An AI SEO agency | $1,500-5,000/mo | A team, a named lead, and a monthly meeting | You are buying hours. Ask how many turn into finished work on your site |
| Your own marketer | $4,000+/mo | A full time hire who only works on you | That is salary alone. Tools, writing and design still cost extra |
| The parts, bought one by one | $1,200+/mo | Total control over every piece | Research tools alone run $250 to $280 before anyone touches your site |
| GrowFasterSEO | $297/mo | Everything in the yes column above, done for you | You do not approve every change. If you want to run it yourself, this is the wrong fit |
Those bands are widely published US market ranges. They are not our measurement. The numbers we measured ourselves are the search counts and the click prices in the next table.
Two of those prices deserve a second look. Under $500 a month from a normal agency has a math problem, because the tools alone cost $250 to $280. We wrote up what cheap SEO really buys for that reason. Over $2,500 a month should come with the work spelled out in writing. For the price map across every kind of SEO, see how much SEO costs.
Five things move the number, and none of them is magic. Check your quote against this list before you judge it.
One plain reason is what sellers pay to find you. Google Ads charges up to $47.61 for one click on these searches. That cost comes back out of the fee you get quoted. Here is what people type when they shop this category, and what a click costs on each one.
| What shoppers search (10 measured terms) | Searches / month | What SEO firms pay per click |
|---|---|---|
| generative engine optimization | 5,400 | $26.17 |
| automated seo | 2,400 | $24.73 |
| ai seo tools | 2,400 | $41.07 |
| answer engine optimization | 2,400 | $25.24 |
| ai seo service | 1,000 | $44.48 |
| ai seo agency | 1,000 | $43.86 |
| ai search optimization | 1,000 | $47.61 |
| seo automation software | 720 | $0.00 |
| chatgpt seo | 480 | $20.25 |
| ai content for seo | 40 | $25.37 |
The 10 rows add up to 16,840 searches a month. Google Ads data, US targeting, measured July 8, 2026.
Why the last column matters to you: a firm can pay $44.48 when an owner like you clicks its ad. That money has to come back out of your fee. It is one plain reason quotes start at $1,500 a month. This page took the other road. It ranked for the search you just made, and nobody paid for your click. That difference is what we sell. We lay both roads side by side in SEO versus Google Ads.
One row costs nothing at all. Seo automation software gets 720 searches a month at $0.00 a click. Nobody bids on it. Those people are comparing tools, not hiring anyone. A good part of this market is still browsing.
The two biggest terms tell you what buyers now want. Generative engine optimization gets 5,400 searches a month. Add answer engine optimization and the pair reaches 7,800. Owners are not only asking about blue links any more. They are asking whether the AI answer says their name.
An answer is not a link. Someone asks ChatGPT for a business like yours. It names two or three. Those names come from pages the software can read and trust. So we work on the pages you already have, on the site you already own, for $297 a month. Clearer answers. Cleaner structure. Tags that tell software what your page is about. Stop paying for ads and the clicks stop that day. Stop paying us and your site is still yours.
Ask six questions, and ask for the answers in writing. A seller who cannot answer them fast is telling you something. Here they are.
This is the wrong buy for some businesses, including ones we would be glad to work with. Paying for it at the wrong moment wastes real money. Here is when to spend it somewhere else.
GrowFasterSEO is $297 a month. A year paid up front is $2,970, which works out to $247.50 a month. That sits under every band in the table above. So the fair question is what is missing. Nothing is missing. The work is built a different way.
An agency bills you for the hours. People do the crawls, the checks and the reports by hand, every month, for every client. We wrote software to do the parts that repeat. It crawls your whole site. It runs the audit. It checks your page speed and your links. Then your account manager decides what gets fixed first, does the work, and checks it.
That is the whole reason for the gap. Software finds the work. A person holds the bar. Take out either half and the price goes up, or the work gets worse.
The AI part is not a separate product here. It is the same work, looked at from one more angle. Pages an AI can read and trust are pages built the way Google already likes: clear answers, clean structure, honest tags. Your monthly report covers selected rankings and how you show up in AI search, side by side. That is also how the map works, and how to rank on Google Maps shows the rest of it.
Two more things, because owners ask. Google Business Profile management is not part of this plan. We improve the local search signals on the website you already own. And the plan works on the website you already own, so we do not need you to rebuild it first. Running one location? Small business SEO shows what a month looks like at that size.

What other people charge, above and below, comes from widely published market rates. Those are not our measurement. Our own price is.

Your 60-day money-back guarantee. You get 60 days to change your mind, counted from the day of your first purchase. Not happy with the quality of the work? Send one email and we refund it. It is one window on your first purchase. It never renews and it never resets. We guarantee our work. We never guarantee results, because nobody honest can.
Monthly $297/mo · Yearly $2,970, which is $247.50/mo and two months free · Pick your plan
Most sellers in this category quote $1,500 to $5,000 a month. That is a widely published market range, not our measurement. A tool you drive yourself costs less, and it checks nothing. GrowFasterSEO is $297 a month with no contract. A year paid up front is $2,970, which works out to $247.50 a month.
AI SEO is the wide name. It means using software to do the research and the technical work on a website. GEO is short for generative engine optimization. AEO is short for answer engine optimization. Both are narrower. They mean showing up inside an AI answer, not just in the list of blue links. A real service should cover all three.
Not on its own. Google says helpful content ranks, however it was made. What gets penalized is thin, generic, unchecked pages. The risk is real when a tool changes a site and nobody reads it first. Here, a person checks the work before it touches your site.
Both. The same pages feed classic search and AI answers. Your monthly report covers selected rankings and how you show up in AI search, so you can see both in one place.
You get your action plan within 14 days of buying. We start on the priority fixes as soon as we can get into your site. Movement in rankings usually takes three to four months, and it builds from there. Nobody controls Google's clock, so nobody can promise you a date. You can watch the work instead. There is a short update every week.
A full SEO and technical audit of the site you already own. A plan for the fixes, in order, within 14 days. Then the priority fixes and the ongoing work: titles, descriptions, schema, internal links, speed, crawl health and dead links. On-site local SEO and AI Search readiness on the pages you already have. A dedicated US account manager, a weekly update, and a monthly report.
Both, and that is the point. Software does the parts that repeat. It crawls your site, runs the audit, and finds the problems. A dedicated US account manager decides what gets fixed first and checks the work. Reply to any note and you get that same person.
A tool is cheaper up front. It also hands you the whole job. Most tools hand you a list and nobody does anything with it. An agency puts the doing back in and bills $1,500 to $5,000 a month for it. We use software to find the work and a person to do it and check it. That is $297 a month.
They do different jobs. Ads buy clicks today and stop the day you stop paying. Firms in this market pay Google up to $47.61 for one click. Search takes longer and then keeps working, and your site stays yours. Need calls this week? Run ads. Want to stop paying per click? Fix the site.
Owners with a real service to sell, a website already up, and a decent reputation. You want the SEO work found, done and checked without running any of it yourself. You also refuse to let anything sloppy go out under your name. That is the fit.
Not for anyone who wants to approve every single change first. Not for anyone who needs calls this week. Not for anyone shopping for a promised ranking, because we will not sell one. If your reviews are thin, fix those first and then call us.
No. Google Business Profile management is not part of this plan. We improve the local search signals on the website you already own. That is a different job. Your profile stays in your hands.
Yes, all of it. The work happens on your own domain, on the site you already own. Ownership is not a clause you have to trust. It is where the files live. Cancel future renewals any time from your account and your site stays yours.
You get 60 days to change your mind, counted from the day of your first purchase. Not happy with the quality of the work? Send one email and we refund it. It is one window on the initial purchase. It never renews and it never resets. We guarantee our work. We never guarantee results.
Usually not. The plan runs on the site you already own, and it starts with a full audit of that site. Some sites are hard to work on. If yours is locked, or nobody can get into it to make changes, ask about that first. We do not need you to rebuild it before we start.
Start today
Checkout takes two minutes. Setup takes about fifteen. Then your account manager audits the site you already own, and your plan is in your hands within 14 days. After that the work runs every week, and every week you see what was finished.
