How Much Does AI Search Visibility Actually Cost?

What AI search visibility actually costs (and what you get for it)

Let's cut through the marketing speak. You want to know what it costs to get your business found by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Here's our honest breakdown.

AI SEO Ready websites: project pricing

Need a new website built for AI search from day one? Project costs typically range from £3,000 to £8,000 depending on size and complexity.

These aren't just pretty websites. They're built specifically for AI crawling with proper structure, schema markup, and content formatting that AI engines love.

How this compares to traditional marketing

Traditional SEO retainers cost £500 to £3,000 monthly. Results take 6-12 months. Competition is fierce.

PPC advertising starts at £1,000 monthly spend, plus management fees. Stop paying, lose visibility immediately. Costs keep rising as competition increases.

AI search visibility is different. Once you're established in the data ecosystem, maintenance costs are lower. The space is less competitive right now. Early movers get significant advantages.

What's the return on investment?

One AI recommendation can generate thousands in revenue. A single ChatGPT response suggesting your restaurant, law firm, or consultancy reaches potential customers at the exact moment they're seeking solutions.

Recent data from Duda shows AI-optimised websites get 3.2 times more traffic and 2.7 times more leads compared to traditional sites. That's not future potential – that's happening now.

Why pricing varies

AI search optimisation isn't one-size-fits-all. A local restaurant needs different work than a national consultancy. Established businesses have different challenges than startups.

Pricing reflects the actual work required. We don't pad packages with unnecessary services or lock you into lengthy contracts.
