GEO services pricing varies more than SEO pricing because the category is younger and the methodology is less commoditized. As of Q2 2026 you can pay anywhere from 200 EUR per month for a relabeled-SEO repackage to 25,000 USD per month for an enterprise contract from a global agency. The useful question is not “what does GEO cost?” but “what should I pay, given my company’s stage, scope, and current AI visibility position?”

This piece breaks down the actual numbers from the market we operate in (ES, LATAM, UK, US), what is included at each tier, and where the real value compounds. We publish our own pricing in full at /pricing — this guide is the broader market context.

The four pricing tiers in the GEO services market

The market sorts cleanly into four bands. The differences are real — scope, deliverable cadence, and outcome expectations all shift between them.

Tier 1 — Hygiene / repackaged SEO (200–800 EUR per month)

The bottom of the market. Many low-priced “agencia GEO” listings in Spain start at 190–200 EUR per month. What you actually get is often relabeled local SEO — directory submissions, generic schema, basic content optimization — with “AI” added to the deck.

This tier is fine for very small businesses with hyperlocal scope and zero current AI visibility ambition. It is not fine for a company that wants to be cited for category-level prompts. The methodology required to move Share of Answer is not in this tier.

Tier 2 — Productized mid-market (800–3,000 EUR per month)

The structurally underserved segment, especially in the ES-speaking markets. This is where Citable operates. Productized audits between 900 and 1,500 EUR, sprint engagements at 1,800–2,800 EUR per month with clear 3-month minimums, and entry retainers that include real measurement infrastructure (Share of Answer baselines, prompt tracking, monthly delta reports).

This tier is the sweet spot for growth-stage B2B companies, post-seed startups, and PYMEs that have outgrown generic SEO. The methodology is real, the measurement is documented, and the pricing is published.

Tier 3 — Boutique retainer (3,000–8,000 EUR per month)

Specialist agencies and senior independent operators offering ongoing work for clients with active commercial pressure. Average ticket sizes in this band are in the 4,000–5,000 EUR/month range. Includes weekly Share of Answer monitoring, citable content production at 2–4 pieces per month, digital PR for citation building, and continuous schema iteration.

The Citable GEO Growth retainer sits at 3,500–6,000 EUR per month with a 6-month minimum. That positioning is intentional: above the productized floor, below the enterprise ceiling, with documented monthly deliverables instead of a vague “ongoing work” promise.

Tier 4 — Enterprise (10,000–25,000+ EUR per month)

Large global agencies (Minuttia, Chilli Fruit, Intero Digital, Seeders, equivalents) targeting enterprise SaaS and Fortune 1000 clients. Cross-channel programs that include GEO as one of several disciplines, with strategic content production budgets, dedicated account teams, and 12-month engagements. Floor minimums often start at 4,000 USD/month and ramp from there.

This tier is correct for brands with category leadership ambition in markets where 5–10 enterprise competitors are also actively investing in GEO. It is overkill — and often slower — for a growth-stage company that needs measurable Share of Answer movement in the next 90 days.

What you should expect to pay for a GEO audit

Productized audit pricing across the market we surveyed in Q2 2026:

Provider type	Audit price range	Delivery time
Tier 1 (hygiene)	200–500 EUR	Often unclear
Tier 2 (productized)	900–1,500 EUR	5–10 days
Tier 3 (boutique)	1,500–3,500 EUR	2–3 weeks
Tier 4 (enterprise)	5,000–10,000+ USD	4–6 weeks

The Citable AI Visibility Audit is 1,200 EUR, delivered in 5 business days. That is intentionally at the floor of Tier 2: the audit is a productized tripwire, not a margin product. The math works because the audit converts to GEO Foundations or GEO Growth on a meaningful percentage of clients, and the audit itself is delivered against a repeatable 50-prompt × 4-model methodology.

What should be in any GEO audit at any price:

• A documented Share of Answer baseline across at least 3 AI surfaces
• A competitor citation map for at least 3 competitors
• A schema gap analysis on your top pages
• An entity disambiguation review (your sameAs chain, your Wikipedia presence, NAP consistency)
• A content extractability assessment on your highest-traffic pages
• A prioritized 90-day roadmap with effort/impact ratings

If any of those is missing, the audit is incomplete regardless of price.

What you should expect to pay for ongoing GEO work

The honest framework: what GEO work costs depends on how much of the methodology your provider is actually executing. Cheap retainers usually skip the measurement layer (no documented baseline, no monthly prompt re-runs, no delta reporting) — which means you have no way to know if the work is working.

Real GEO retainer scope at 3,000–6,000 EUR per month should include:

• Weekly or fortnightly Share of Answer monitoring on a defined prompt set, not “we check ChatGPT now and then”
• Schema iteration as AI model behavior evolves (the signals that worked in Q2 2025 are not exactly the signals that work in Q2 2026)
• Citable content production at 2–4 pieces per month, engineered for extractability
• Digital PR for citation building at 3–6 mentions per month in publications AI models treat as authoritative
• Monthly written delta report with prompt-level diffs and a forward 30-day plan

If any of those is absent at this price band, you are paying for branded SEO with extra meetings.

What changes the cost band most

In rough order, the inputs that move a GEO engagement up or down a cost band:

1. Site size and content volume. A 50-page brochure site is not the same scope as a 5,000-page e-commerce catalog. Most pricing models scale with the number of indexed pages requiring schema and content work.

2. Number of target markets. Single-market engagements are cleaner than multi-market. Bilingual EN/ES is roughly 1.4× the scope of single-language; tri-language enterprise work approaches 2×.

3. Current AI visibility starting point. A brand at 0% Share of Answer needs aggressive entity and schema work. A brand at 30% needs targeted content production and digital PR. The deeper the starting hole, the higher the early-month cost density.

4. Speed expectations. Compressed timelines (a 6-week sprint instead of a 12-week sprint) cost meaningfully more because work that compounds over time has to be parallelized.

5. Existing technical stack. A clean Next.js site is a faster surface to optimize than a heavily customized WordPress install with 18 plugins fighting each other for the schema layer.

What it does not change

What does not materially change the cost band, despite the pitches:

• “AI-powered” tooling claims. Every agency claims to use AI tooling now. The methodology and the human review layer are what produce reliable measurement. A lower-priced provider with sloppy manual prompt review will produce worse data than a higher-priced provider with disciplined manual review, regardless of which agency talks more about AI.
• “Proprietary measurement platform” claims. No measurement tool currently covers all four major AI surfaces (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews) with equal accuracy as of Q2 2026. The proprietary-platform claim is mostly marketing. Reliable Share of Answer measurement requires manual prompt testing as a verification layer regardless of which dashboard sits on top.
• Industry vertical specialization. GEO methodology is mostly horizontal at this stage of the market. Vertical specialization will become a real differentiator in 2 to 3 years; right now most of the clients in any vertical can be served by the same core methodology with category-specific prompt sets.

What an honest provider looks like at any tier

Three signals worth checking before signing:

1. They publish their pricing. “Contact for a quote” at the productized end of the market is an obfuscation tactic. The buyers who would have decided to pay you in five minutes are now stuck in a sales funnel.
2. They show their methodology in writing. Not in a deck, not under NDA — on a public page. If they cannot describe their measurement methodology to you in two paragraphs, they probably do not have one.
3. They quote a baseline cost in writing before any “discovery call”. A 30-minute audit-scoping call is fine. A 90-minute “discovery” call before they will say “the audit is X EUR” is a margin-protection move that exists for the agency, not for you.

Where Citable sits

Productized: AI Visibility Audit at 1,200 EUR (5 business days) and GEO Foundations at 1,800 EUR/month (3-month sprint).

Retainer: GEO Growth at 3,500–6,000 EUR/month (6-month minimum).

Full pricing for all three service lines (GEO + AEO, Technical SEO, Web Development) is at /pricing. No discovery calls required to know what we cost.

If you want a documented baseline against which to evaluate any provider’s pricing — including ours — the audit produces it in 5 business days.
