Our guarantee, in plain words. The playbook is 30-day money-back, no questions. The Answer is simpler than a deadline: every fix implemented and verified, or it's free. We don't get paid for a promise — we get paid for a result you can see in a re-scan.

For scale: a traditional SEO agency runs $3,000–$8,000 a month on contract. The AO Audit is a one-time $497 to get done, then optional upkeep with no contract. You pay for the outcome, not the retainer.

Questions about pricing

Do I need to buy anything to get my AO Score?

No. The scan and your AO Score are completely free. The paid options only exist if you want the step-by-step fixes or want the work done for you.

What's the difference between the playbook and The Answer?

The $39 playbook is do-it-yourself — every fix explained with copy-paste templates. The Answer ($497) is done-for-you: we implement everything in your report and re-scan to prove it.

Is the money-back guarantee real?

Yes. Playbook: 30-day no-questions refund. The Answer: every fix implemented and verified, or it's free.

How do I pay?

Securely through Stripe (The Answer, AO Care) and Gumroad (the playbook) — card, Apple Pay, and more. We never see your card details.
