How working with us works
We scope every engagement to your firm and quote it on a call. Here is exactly what is included, what shapes the investment, and why we don't publish a one-size-fits-all price.
One engagement, the whole method
Every engagement runs all five stages of the Answer Authority Method. We do not sell the audit as one product and the fix as another.
- ✓A full AI-visibility audit of your firm and your top competitors
- ✓Conversational intent mapping for your practice areas
- ✓Schema markup and on-site answer engineering
- ✓Entity building across your profiles and directories
- ✓Named-expert content reviewed by your team
- ✓Monthly citation-share reporting across all major engines
Why we quote per firm
Number of practice areas
A single-focus firm is faster to map and cover than a full-service practice with many service lines.
Current state
Firms with clean sites and existing content move quicker than those starting from a thin or outdated presence.
Competitive density
The more firms already fighting for the same AI answers in your market, the more depth the work requires.
Pace
A focused sprint to fix the highest-value questions first, or a steady monthly engagement that compounds.
One new client usually covers it
For most professional services firms, a single new matter, client, or engagement is worth more than a quarter of AEO work. Being the firm AI names when a high-intent prospect asks is not a branding exercise. It is pipeline.
Pricing questions
How much does AEO cost? +
It depends on your practice areas, your starting point, and how competitive your market is. Across the industry, professional-services AEO engagements typically run as a monthly retainer rather than a one-off project. We scope every engagement to the firm on a call and give you a fixed number before you commit.
Why don’t you list prices on the site? +
Because a fair number for a solo advisory practice and a number for a multi-partner firm are not the same, and pretending otherwise helps no one. We would rather look at your actual situation, scope it honestly, and quote it once.
Is there a long-term contract? +
AEO compounds over months, so most firms work with us on a rolling monthly basis. We will be direct on the call about the timeline it takes to see citation share move, so you can decide with eyes open.
What does the first month look like? +
The audit and intent mapping come first, so within weeks you have a clear picture of where you stand and the priority questions to win. Schema and answer engineering follow, then entity work, then ongoing measurement.
What if we just want the audit? +
Start there. The free AI-visibility audit shows you who AI cites in your field today, with no commitment. Many firms begin with that and decide from the findings.
