Most US AEO agencies charge between $3,000 and $15,000 a month, with enterprise programs above that. DMD Solutions starts with a $990 audit, and monthly plans run from $1,500 to $5,000 or more, depending on how many AI engines, questions and pages are covered.
The audit gives you a measured baseline: which AI assistants mention you today, for which questions, and who they recommend instead. Without that baseline, nobody can prove later whether AEO work moved anything. The audit fee is credited in full if you start a monthly plan within 30 days.
No. All monthly plans are month-to-month and can be cancelled with 30 days’ notice. We recommend giving AEO at least three months, because earning citations takes time to build up, but you are never locked in.
Our team works remotely with lower overheads than an agency with a city-centre office, and we do only AEO, so we don’t carry the cost of unrelated services. The deliverables in each plan are listed in full so you can compare them line by line.
Paid placements, sponsored articles and third-party tool subscriptions you choose to keep after we finish are not included. Development work beyond schema, crawler fixes and on-page changes, such as a full website rebuild, is quoted separately.
