AI SEO Pricing That Pays for Itself
in One Closed Deal

Yes — and this is the approach we recommend. The free AI citation audit maps your current citation presence across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, identifies your entity status in Google's Knowledge Graph, and surfaces your highest-priority content gaps before any commercial conversation takes place. There is no obligation to subscribe after the audit. Most clients find the audit data itself clarifies exactly which plan is the right fit — and we'll make a clear recommendation based on your specific situation, budget, and growth goals.

No setup fee on any plan. The first month's work begins immediately upon engagement — the free AI audit is completed before the engagement starts, so by the time you subscribe, we already have your citation baseline and can begin implementation in week one. There are no onboarding fees, no platform access charges, and no hidden costs. You pay the monthly plan fee and that is it.

All plans are billed in USD. Commerce Chief works with clients across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and India — and invoices in USD as the standard currency. If you require invoicing in a different currency, please mention this during your strategy call and we will accommodate where possible. International payments are accepted via Stripe, wire transfer, and Wise.

Yes. Commerce Chief serves clients in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and India — and works with brands targeting any English-language market. AI search optimization (GEO, AEO, and technical AI SEO) is not geography-restricted; the same citation strategies that work for a US SaaS brand apply equally to a UK B2B firm or an Australian ecommerce brand. Our dedicated strategists operate across time zones to ensure same-day communication regardless of your location.

Commerce Chief operates on a month-to-month rolling basis with no lock-in contracts. You can cancel at any time with 30 days notice — there are no cancellation fees or penalties. Because AI SEO work is strategy and implementation (not a software subscription), we don't offer refunds on completed work. However, if you are unsatisfied with the quality or scope of work in your first month, please raise it with your strategist immediately — we will work to resolve it before the second billing cycle. The best protection is starting with the free audit, which ensures both parties are aligned on scope and expectations before the engagement begins.

Most clients see measurable increases in AI citation frequency within 6–8 weeks of the entity architecture and high-priority content deployment phase completing. The fastest wins come from unblocking AI crawlers (if applicable), Knowledge Graph entity verification, and restructuring existing high-authority pages for LLM retrieval — these can show citation improvements within the first 4 weeks. Significant share of voice growth and meaningful pipeline impact typically compounds between months 3 and 5 as new citation-ready content assets are indexed and retrieved. We track and report on citation frequency from week one so you can see progress clearly.

Yes — you can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Upgrades take effect from the next billing cycle (or immediately if you want to accelerate). Downgrades take effect at the start of the following month. There are no penalties for either. Many clients start on AI Foundation to establish their citation baseline and upgrade to AI Growth once they've seen the first wave of citation improvements. If you're unsure which plan to start on, the free audit will give you a data-informed recommendation.
