Frequently asked question · Ecommerce & DTC
What does it cost, and what do we have to do?
Managed GEO starts at $990 a month, scoped after a free audit of your store. What we need from you: one onboarding call, CMS and analytics access, approval of the roadmap and of each article before it publishes, and a monthly call. Large retailers with in-house content teams usually take GEO Consulting & Trends instead, quoted per engagement.
What the retainer covers
Managed GEO is one retainer, and it covers our team and the platform together. The team audits your top products, collections, and guides, rewrites the product pages that matter, publishes the buying guides and comparisons shoppers ask AI for, and reports monthly on what shipped. The platform runs your shoppers' questions every day across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Mode, and you get a login to it. It is billed month to month, with no setup fee.
The starting figure is $990 a month. What sets the final number is the scope the free audit reveals: how many products and collections need work, how many questions we run daily, and how many competitor brands we track alongside you. The proposal comes after the audit, with that number in it, and nothing is billed before you approve it.
Your four commitments
- One onboarding call, where we learn the catalog, the categories you compete in, and the brands you fight at checkout.
- CMS and analytics access, so our team ships into the store directly and your developer never gets a ticket.
- Approval of the roadmap, and of each article before it publishes. Every guide and comparison is a draft until you say yes.
- A monthly call to go through the report next to what shipped.
When it is the other engagement
Managed GEO fits stores from Shopify scale to mid-market. Large retailers with in-house content and SEO teams usually take GEO Consulting and Trends instead: we do the audit and the roadmap and keep the tracking running, and your teams do the shipping. That one is quoted per engagement, as a retainer or a project, and its term is set in the proposal the same way.
