Published monthly fee examples
MADX advertises US$4,500–$13,500/month for search/AI-search plans on a 12-month term. The US$4,500 plan excludes article production and implementation; those enter higher tiers. Paid acquisition, major website work and extras are separate.
Typical paid monthly spend: Insufficient comparable client-paid evidence. These are public reference points, not an industry average or an all-in budget. Media, setup and extra work must be checked separately.
Separate the work before the budget
Costs by service.
A package fee is not the price of every service inside it. We only show a separate fee when the source publishes one. Do not add bundled rows together or treat management fees as including ad spend. Missing prices mean this research has not established a rate, not that the work is free.

Before you sign
Ask for this in writing.

- Separate strategy and authority work from hands-on content and site implementation.
- Agree on qualified-demo, trial, and sales-opportunity definitions before measuring performance.
- Confirm the minimum term, renewal, rolling-plan price, and add-ons.
A few useful answers
Common questions.
Does a placement guarantee an AI recommendation?
No. Neither links nor content placements guarantee AI citations, search rankings, recommendations, or pipeline.
How should I compare authority and full-service plans?
Normalize scope first. An entry authority plan that excludes content execution is not equivalent to a team that researches, writes, publishes, and measures content.
Evidence, not promises.
Published packages can change. Confirm a written proposal with the provider before budgeting. Prices do not establish quality, ranking, or likely results. Ask for comparable client references and a measurement plan before hiring.
