GEO Pricing: How Much Does GEO Cost in 2026?

November 3, 2026

Among established generative engine optimization (GEO) agencies that publish a price in 2026, managed programs start between $3,000 and $10,000 per month. WebFX‘s 2026 cost guide puts agency GEO services between $1,500 and $50,000+ per month, and AI visibility tracking tools alone start at $50 to $95 per month on public plans.

Our analysts reviewed agency and tool pricing pages in November 2026 and quoted each price as the company states it. Many agencies quote only by proposal, so the prices below come from those that post a rate card.

Key Findings

WebFX lists GEO services starting at $3,000 per month on a 6-month commitment (WebFX).
RevenueZen publishes six monthly tiers from $3,000 to $15,000 (RevenueZen).
Grow and Convert‘s B2B SaaS GEO program starts at $10,000 per month, and Omniscient Digital‘s full-service engagements start at $120,000 a year.
Breaking B2B charges $500 less per month on its 12-month term than on its 6-month term for the same tier (Breaking B2B).
Peec AI’s tracking plans run $95, $245, and $495 per month for 50, 150, and 350 prompts (Peec AI).
The median US marketing manager earned $166,790 in May 2025, before benefits (BLS).

How Much Does GEO Cost per Month?

Most GEO work is sold as a monthly retainer. WebFX‘s cost guide, published October 15, 2026, sorts agency pricing by company size.

Those bands are WebFX’s market estimate. They are not a survey with a stated sample, so treat them as a rough frame and compare them with the rate cards in the next section.

Buyer or engagement	Cost range	Billing
Small businesses (basic strategy)	$1,500 to $5,000 per month	Retainer
Mid-sized businesses (advanced strategies)	$5,000 to $25,000+ per month	Retainer
Enterprise businesses (complex strategies)	$25,000 to $50,000+ per month	Retainer
One-off projects (audits, migrations, overhauls)	$5,000 to $50,000 per project	Project
Hourly consulting	$50 to $300 per hour	Hourly
AI visibility tracking software	$50 to $1,000+ per month	Subscription

Key Findings

The widest gap sits in the mid-sized band, where the top of the range is five times the bottom.
SEO.com, which WebFX runs, gives a narrower $1,500 to $10,000 per month range for answer engine optimization services.

Published GEO Prices From Agencies’ Own Pages

The table lists every agency price we could load on the company’s own site in November 2026. Where a price covers more than GEO, the scope column says so.

Published monthly starting prices for GEO and AI search programs at seven agencies, November 2026

Key Findings

Three of the seven monthly floors in the chart sit between $3,000 and $3,500.
The B2B specialists in the table (Grow and Convert, Omniscient Digital, Obility) start higher than generalist WebFX.
Siege Media and Ignite Visibility price content or ecommerce marketing as a whole, so their figures are not GEO-only.

GEO Pricing by Engagement Model

Agencies sell GEO in five main ways, and each model changes what you pay for. The model also sets how long you are committed.

Model	Published example	What the fee covers
Monthly retainer	WebFX from $3,000 per month; RevenueZen $3,000 to $15,000 per month	Ongoing content, technical fixes, mentions, and reporting
Term-discounted retainer	Breaking B2B Gold at $8,500 (6 months) or $8,000 (12 months)	The same scope at a lower monthly rate for a longer term
Project or audit	WebFX guide: $5,000 to $50,000 per project	A fixed deliverable such as an AI visibility audit
Hourly consulting	WebFX guide: $50 to $300 per hour	Advice for a team that does the work itself
Software only	Peec AI from $95 per month; Ahrefs Brand Radar AI from $199 per month	Prompt tracking, with your team making the changes

Source: agency and tool pricing pages, and the WebFX 2026 GEO cost guide.

Key Findings

A retainer pays for work. A tool subscription pays for measurement only.
Breaking B2B’s 12-month term saves $6,000 a year on each tier it lists.

What AI Visibility Tracking Tools Cost

Most retainers include tracking, but in-house teams buy it on its own. Tool prices scale with how many prompts you track and on how many AI platforms.

Tool	Plan	Price	Included
Peec AI	Starter	$95/mo	50 prompts, 3 models, daily tracking
Peec AI	Pro	$245/mo	150 prompts, 3 models, daily tracking
Peec AI	Advanced	$495/mo	350 prompts
Ahrefs	Brand Radar AI	From $199/mo	Brand research across Ahrefs’ prompt database plus your own prompts
Ahrefs	Custom prompt packages	$50, $100, or $250/mo	2,500, 7,000, or 25,000 checks per month
WebFX	Prompt tracking add-on	$75/mo per 50 prompts	Added to a WebFX GEO plan, up to 500 prompts

Peec AI monthly plan prices for 50, 150, and 350 tracked prompts, November 2026

Key Findings

Dividing each plan’s price by its prompts, Peec AI’s per-prompt cost falls from $1.90 at Starter to about $1.41 at Advanced.
Ahrefs bills custom prompts per check, so tracking one prompt on two platforms uses two checks.

What Drives the Cost of a GEO Agency

The rate cards above show where the money goes. Five inputs show up again and again in them.

Content volume

RevenueZen‘s $3,000 Foundation tier includes 4 articles a month, and its $15,000 tier has no hard cap at 12 to 15+ articles.

Off-site mentions and links

Breaking B2B‘s Light plan includes 2 link credits a month, and its Gold tier includes 6 link or brand mention placements.

Prompts and platforms tracked

WebFX charges $75 per month for each extra 50 prompts. Ahrefs counts one prompt on one platform in one location as one check.

Contract length

At Breaking B2B, a 12-month term lowers the monthly rate by $500. WebFX asks for 6 months, and Siege Media asks for 12 months with a 30-day out clause.

Business complexity

Ignite Visibility says its ecommerce fees scale with “your goals, catalog size, and the channels involved.” A brand with thousands of products or several markets needs more pages covered.

GEO Agency Cost vs. an In-House Team

Running GEO in-house means paying for staff and tools yourself. The median annual wage for US marketing managers was $166,790 in May 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That wage excludes benefits and software. A single Peec AI Advanced plan adds $5,940 a year at $495 per month.

Option	Published cost	Source
Marketing manager salary (median)	$166,790 per year	BLS, May 2025
Marketing manager, information industry (median)	$192,600 per year	BLS, May 2025
Grow and Convert B2B SaaS GEO	From $10,000 per month	Grow and Convert
Omniscient Digital full service	From $120,000 per year	Omniscient Digital
WebFX GEO	From $3,000 per month	WebFX

Key Findings

One median marketing manager salary costs more than a year of Omniscient Digital‘s entry engagement.
An in-house hire still needs content and tracking budgets on top of salary.

Questions to Ask Before You Sign a GEO Contract

Two quotes with the same monthly fee can buy very different work. These questions make proposals comparable.

How many new or rewritten pages do we get each month?
How many off-site mentions, placements, or link credits are included?
Which AI platforms do you track, and how many prompts?
What is the minimum term, and is there an out clause?
Who owns the content and the tracking data if we leave?
What does the report show each month, and how do you tie AI visibility to leads?

Be wary of any agency that guarantees AI placements. WebFX‘s own service page says that “no generative engine optimization agency, contractor, or freelancer can guarantee placements.”
