Monthly testing across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. GA4 referral filtering. Server log analysis. This is what separates a real retainer from a report generator.
Crawler unblocking, robots.txt, Bing indexation, Core Web Vitals, server-side rendering fixes. Front-loaded into months 1โ2, then minimal.
Building and maintaining the 30โ50 buyer questions that become your scoreboard. One-time build, quarterly refresh.
The biggest cost line. Restructuring existing pages and writing new fact-dense, citation-ready ones. Directly scales with how many pages you need.
Organization, FAQPage, Article, Product and LocalBusiness JSON-LD. Cheap, fast, high leverage.
Surveys, benchmarks, expert bios, Reddit and Quora presence, brand mentions. Slowest to pay off, highest ceiling.
Monthly testing across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. GA4 referral filtering. Server log analysis. This is what separates a real retainer from a report generator.
No lock-in beyond a 3-month minimum. GST extra at 18%.
| PLAN | BEST FOR | WHAT'S INCLUDED | MONTHLY (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Local Bangalore brands, under 30 pages | Technical SEO, AI crawler setup, Bing indexation, schema on all pages, 4 GEO-optimised pages, monthly 20-prompt tracking | โน45,000 |
| Growth Recommended | Scaling D2C and B2B | Everything in Starter + 8 pages/month, full 40-prompt tracking across 4 AI tools, GA4 AI-referral reporting, quarterly refresh | โน95,000 |
| Authority | Market leaders, competitive categories | Everything in Growth + original research production, digital PR, link building, dedicated strategist, weekly reporting | โน1,80,000+ |
A repeatable system that gets Bangalore brands from invisible to cited.
Start with the free audit and the DIY checklist. Spend on the โน25,000 one-time audit only if you have someone who can execute it.
Starter at โน45,000/month. Enough to fix the foundation and get 4 pages properly built each month.
Growth at โน95,000/month. This is where citation rate genuinely moves because content volume is sufficient.
Authority. Original research and digital PR are what break into competitive categories, and both are expensive.
Every number on this page is what you actually pay, plus GST.
Page counts, prompt counts and tool coverage are written into the contract.
We find the problems first. Several prospects have left with a fix list and no invoice.
No dollar-pegged retainers, no offshore markup.
Between โน40,000 and โน2,50,000 per month depending on scope. Freelancers start around โน15,000, boutique agencies around โน45,000, and full-service agencies from โน1,50,000. One-time audits run โน20,000 to โน40,000.
It usually isn’t, at equivalent scope. AI SEO adds prompt research and monthly citation testing โ roughly 20% more effort โ but most of the work is shared with traditional SEO, and both benefit from the same fixes.
Most Bangalore agencies including us require three months. AI citations take 6 to 12 weeks to appear, so anything shorter can’t be fairly evaluated.
No. All figures are exclusive of 18% GST. A โน45,000 retainer invoices at โน53,100.
Yes. Most clients start at Starter, get the technical foundation fixed in months one and two, then move to Growth once they see crawler activity and early citations.
The free audit plus our 42-point checklist. The technical and schema sections cost nothing but your time and deliver a large share of the early result.
No. Page counts are included in each plan. Original research production โ surveys, benchmarks โ is only in the Authority plan or quoted separately.
Three numbers, reported monthly: citation rate across your prompt list, AI referral sessions in GA4, and AI crawler hits in server logs. If all three are flat at month four, something is wrong.
Get a free AI visibility audit. We’ll test your brand in ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity, show you what’s broken, and quote only if it makes sense for you.
