first 5 businesses: enter code AOCARE for $149/mo for life

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 to $8,000 a month on contract. The AO Audit is a one-time $497 to get it done, then optional upkeep with no contract. You pay for the outcome, not the retainer.

Questions about pricing

How much does an AI visibility audit cost?

The AO Audit scan is free. You get your AO Score and findings in about 60 seconds, with no card. From there, the $39 playbook lets you fix everything yourself, The Answer implements it all for you at $497 one-time, and AO Care keeps your score climbing at $249/mo (founding rate $149/mo for the first 5 businesses).

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 is explained with copy-paste templates. The Answer ($497) is done-for-you: we implement everything in your report, including schema, profiles, FAQ and pricing signals, then re-scan to prove it.

Is the money-back guarantee real?

Yes. The playbook carries a 30-day no-questions refund. For The Answer, every fix is 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.

How is this cheaper than an SEO agency?

Traditional SEO agencies run $3,000 to $8,000 per month on contract. The AO Audit is a one-time $497 to get it done, then optional $249/mo upkeep with no contract. You pay for the outcome, not a retainer.

The Answer and the Complete Rebuild are both $497. What's the difference?

They're different jobs that happen to cost the same. The Answer fixes AI-visibility on a website you already have: schema, profiles, FAQ and pricing signals, implemented and re-scanned to prove it. The Complete Rebuild is for when there's no site worth fixing, or an audit says to start over: we build you a new site from nothing, at least 5 pages, AI-native from day one. If you have a website, start with the free scan and The Answer.
