How much does GEO or AI SEO cost?
At Sequoia GEO, engagements start at $2,500 a month with a three-month initial term, then month to month. GEO and AI SEO are part of the same operator-led search engagement, not a separate AI surcharge.
Is GEO different from SEO?
They overlap. SEO helps your business earn visibility in search results. GEO, often called AI SEO, adds the work of making the business, its evidence, and its public information understandable when an AI answer is assembled. The foundation is still useful website content, accurate entity information, and measurement.
What is included in the monthly fee?
Search Foundation starts at $2,500 a month and covers a bounded search, AI visibility, conversion, or public-information constraint. Fractional Marketing Lead starts at $5,000 a month when a business needs weekly marketing leadership, launch planning, measurement oversight, and cross-channel direction. Complex Leadership starts at $6,500 a month for multiple markets, brands, vendors, or a broader operating load. Every engagement has a defined scope before work begins.
What is not included?
Ad spend is separate and billed directly to you by the advertising platform. Third-party software and major website builds are discussed and approved separately. You retain your domain, analytics, ad accounts, and the assets built for you.
Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No. No agency can guarantee a placement, recommendation, ranking, citation, or timeline from ChatGPT, Google, or any other answer engine. The work is measured through a documented baseline, the improvements made, visibility across a fixed question set, and qualified inquiries or jobs booked where tracking supports that connection.
What happens in the first 30 days?
The first 30 days establish the baseline, identify the first approved constraint, make the first corrections, and document what changed. The initial three-month term gives the work time to be implemented, discovered, and evaluated without pretending a result can be promised on a fixed date.
Is paid media management included?
Ad spend is always separate and stays in your accounts. Paid media execution is defined in writing for each engagement because the workload changes with platforms, spend, creative, and reporting requirements. It is never assumed to be included just because a broader marketing leadership engagement is in place.
Can you work with a company that already has an agency?
Sequoia GEO is built to lead the marketing scope. If you already have an agency and need one problem independently verified and fixed, say that in the baseline request. That focused work is scoped after the evidence and access requirements are clear, not sold as a generic package.
