Yes; not every firm is ready on day one for the full three-pillar system, and the pricing model is designed to meet you where you are while keeping a clear path to the complete Authority Engine. Starter AEO begins at $7,500/month with a smaller setup fee and focuses on dominating AI search with schema, structured knowledge layers, and AEO/SEO content, which is ideal if you first need to secure visibility and entity recognition before scaling outbound volume or ad spend. As you see early movement in AI-powered discovery and organic authority, you can then layer in Market Authority (executive visibility, LinkedIn thought leadership, SDR workflows) and the AI Ads Engine add-on to create a full stack that covers awareness, trust, and demand generation in one place.

You can usually see the first signals within 48–72 hours as our AI ads begin driving initial traffic and conversions while new content, entities, and schema get crawled, indexed, and start appearing in more relevant queries. From there, every improvement to your AEO infrastructure, things like clearer topical clustering, stronger internal linking, cleaner data layers, and consistent content velocityac, ts as a force multiplier: it helps more of your pages qualify for more intents, improves how often and where you surface, and keeps compounding over time so the lift doesn’t just spike and fade; it keeps growing in perpetuity as your authority expands.

Authority Engine is engineered to create several additional qualified sales conversations every month, not just more impressions or clicks, by combining AEO, executive authority, SDR motions, and AI‑optimized ads into one system. For firms with average deal sizes above $50,000, closing even one extra deal per quarter from this lift can translate into six‑figure annual returns, before you even account for the compounding upside of owning your category in AI search. And because the Pro package replaces what companies typically piece together from separate SEO, content, SDR, and ad providers, you end up economically ahead while also being structurally better positioned wherever modern buyers and AI assistants go to discover solutions.

We recommend a 6‑month engagement, but we offer a 90‑day test so your organization can see and experience the results firsthand. Six months gives AI search and authority time to compound: models learn your data and voice, content saturates the “answer layer,” and SDR motions have enough runway to turn new signals into revenue. In the first 60–90 days, the focus is on AI and AEO implementation, content architecture, and early authority signals; in the following months, you see the flywheel take over as AI citations, executive visibility, and qualified pipeline begin to reinforce one another.

Our monthly packages typically cost less than traditional, siloed marketing while producing stronger, more consistent pipeline. Instead of hiring separate providers for SEO/AEO, content, LinkedIn/PR, SDR support, and custom AI work, Authority Engine gives you all of that in one integrated system—built once, orchestrated together, and focused entirely on generating more qualified opportunities from your ideal customers.

For many firms, Authority Engine eventually replaces at least one major retainer, because AEO, full SEO services, answer‑layer content, and AI authority become more central to how prospects discover and trust you than fragmented SEO or generic paid media. In other cases, we work alongside your existing SEO team: they can stay focused on current programs while we align site and experience taxonomy with them, then own the AI authority layer, executive visibility, and integrated SEO/AEO strategy. Over time, the value gap tends to become clear, and most teams consolidate around the engine that is visibly generating qualified opportunities and making you the default answer in AI‑driven discovery. Results are what matter.
