SEO, AEO & AI Search Optimization Services & Pricing
I help businesses compete across Google, ChatGPT and other answer-driven search environments by managing SEO, AEO, GEO and AI SEO as connected parts of one search visibility strategy.
The service you need depends on whether you want a focused visibility snapshot, a deeper strategic assessment, hands-on ChatGPT Search Optimization, or ongoing managed search growth. Starting prices are published so you can decide whether the engagement is a practical fit before contacting me.

Link to this answerSearch Has Changed. The Service Model Should Too.
Businesses increasingly compete across traditional organic results, AI-assisted search and answer engines at the same time. Treating each surface as an unrelated marketing channel can create duplicated work and conflicting changes to the same website.
I use AI SEO as a practical umbrella for search optimization involving AI-assisted discovery. It can include ChatGPT Search Optimization, AEO, GEO, entity clarity, citation research, buyer-intent visibility testing, technical SEO, content optimization and measurement.
The objective is not simply to increase rankings or generate another AI visibility score. The objective is to put your business in a stronger position to be found, understood, cited, considered and contacted when prospective customers are researching a decision.

Eric Strate’s ChatGPT SEO and Search Optimization engagements start at $5,500. Final pricing depends on website complexity, market competition, buyer-intent opportunity and the amount of hands-on implementation required. The dedicated ChatGPT SEO Services page explains the service itself in more detail.
Link to this answerHow Much Does ChatGPT Search Optimization Cost?
ChatGPT Search Optimization is action-oriented work designed to improve the controllable signals behind discovery, retrieval, citations and commercial recommendations in ChatGPT. It is not prompt manipulation and it is not a guarantee of placement.
The dedicated ChatGPT SEO Services page remains the primary resource for what the service includes. This pricing page is the commercial reference for starting prices and engagement options.
[a4]
Yes. Eric Strate offers ongoing Managed SEO, AEO & AI SEO starting at $4,000 per month. The work can combine technical SEO, AI-search visibility analysis, buyer-intent research, citation monitoring, commercial-page optimization, content development, internal linking, entity and structured-data work, implementation and measurement.
Link to this answerManaged SEO, AEO & AI SEO
Ongoing work is managed as one search program rather than separate retainers for traditional SEO, AEO, GEO and AI search.
I do not structure ongoing work around an arbitrary promise such as a fixed number of blog posts each month. Priorities should change according to the strongest commercial opportunities, technical needs, competitor movement and measurement data.
[a5]
Ongoing search visibility management with Eric Strate can include technical SEO, Google Search Console and GA4 analysis, ChatGPT and AI-search visibility monitoring, buyer-intent research, citation and competitor analysis, commercial-page optimization, content development, internal linking, entity and structured-data work, WACP implementation where appropriate, and post-change measurement.

- Technical SEO monitoring and remediation
- Google Search Console analysis
- GA4 and conversion analysis
- ChatGPT and AI-assistant visibility monitoring

- Strategic prioritization
Not every client needs every activity every month. The mix should follow the actual opportunity rather than a prewritten checklist.
[a6]
Yes. Eric Strate can work directly on client websites when platform access and project scope allow it. Engagements can include both strategy and hands-on implementation rather than ending with an audit or recommendation document.
Link to this answerDirect Website Implementation Is Available
Recommendations have limited value when nobody implements them. For WordPress and other supported environments, project scope can include direct changes to content, technical elements, internal architecture, structured data and other agreed optimization work.
The amount of implementation is one of the factors that determines final pricing.
[a7]
Yes. Eric Strate works directly with clients on search strategy, prioritization and major optimization decisions. The service is positioned as senior-level SEO, AEO and AI-search consulting rather than a sales handoff followed by a junior account team.
Link to this answerWork Directly With Eric Strate
I remain responsible for the strategy, prioritization and major decisions in an engagement. Automation and specialized systems can make analysis, production, implementation and quality assurance more efficient, but they do not replace strategic accountability.
[a8]
Search optimization pricing can increase when a website is large or technically complex, the market is highly competitive, multiple locations or product lines are involved, substantial new content is required, implementation is extensive, or the project targets unusually valuable commercial searches.
Link to this answerWhat Changes the Price?
- Website size and technical complexity
- Market competition
- Number of products or services
- Local, national or multi-market scope
- Multiple locations
- Current search and authority foundation
- Content gaps
- Implementation requirements
- Competitive citation environment
- Third-party development dependencies

Eric Strate generally treats SEO, AEO, GEO and AI SEO as connected parts of one search strategy rather than isolated services. Technical accessibility, entity clarity, useful content, evidence, authority, retrieval structure and commercial relevance can influence visibility across traditional search and AI-assisted discovery.
Link to this answerSEO, AEO, GEO and AI SEO Should Work Together
The labels describe different aspects of a changing search environment, but the same website and business evidence often support several of them at once.

[a10]
No. Eric Strate does not guarantee that ChatGPT, Google or another AI system will rank, cite or recommend a particular business. The work focuses on factors a business can legitimately improve and measure, including accessibility, entity clarity, useful commercial content, evidence, source relationships and visibility across relevant buyer-intent questions.
Link to this answerSearch Optimization Improves the Inputs You Can Control
No consultant controls the ranking, retrieval or recommendation systems operated by Google, OpenAI or another platform. A legitimate engagement should improve the quality of the signals and evidence available to those systems, measure what changes, and avoid presenting correlation as guaranteed causation.
[a11]
Yes. Eric Strate provides SEO, AEO, GEO and AI-search strategy for automotive businesses and dealerships, including dealership-specific technical search, inventory visibility, local search, commercial content and AI-search optimization. Complex dealership and multi-location engagements are custom scoped.
Link to this answerDealership and Multi-Location Work Is Custom Scoped
Automotive search can involve inventory systems, OEM dependencies, local competition, multiple rooftop locations, large template footprints and highly commercial model-level searches. Those engagements need to be scoped around the actual technical and competitive environment.
See Dealership SEO Services and Toyota Dealership SEO for vertical-specific context.

Businesses can start with Eric Strate’s free AEO checker, request a focused AI Search Visibility Snapshot, discuss a one-time ChatGPT SEO and Search Optimization engagement, or request ongoing Managed SEO, AEO & AI SEO depending on how much research, implementation and continuing optimization they need.
Link to this answerStart With the Smallest Engagement That Answers the Real Question
If you only want a quick page-level diagnostic, use the Free AEO Checker. If you need to understand a broader AI-search competitive problem, a Visibility Snapshot or Professional Assessment may be appropriate. If you already know implementation is required, the ChatGPT Search Optimization or managed-search options are more direct.
Discuss the Search Opportunity, Not a Generic Package
Tell me what your business sells, where you compete and what you want to improve. I can determine whether a focused snapshot, one-time implementation project or ongoing managed engagement is the better starting point.
