What changes the cost?
Observation volume
Questions × engines × repeat runs × markets creates the raw number of responses that must be generated and checked.
Competitive scope
More competitors mean more mention, recommendation, positioning and evidence comparisons.
Evidence depth
Capturing URLs, dates, quotes, citations and screenshots takes longer than recording a simple yes/no mention.
Decision support
Executive summaries, prioritized roadmaps, readout calls and implementation support add work beyond measurement.

Model the minimum price needed to cover manual observation time, analysis, administration, direct costs and a scope contingency. Inputs and results remain in your browser.
This is a cost-coverage estimate, not a market quote or profit recommendation. It excludes payment fees, taxes, refunds, acquisition cost and post-delivery support unless you include them in your inputs.
The calculation
buyer questions × AI engines × repeat runsobservation volume × minutes per observation ÷ 60testing hours + analysis/report hours + calls/admin hours(total delivery hours × hourly cost floor + direct costs) × (1 + contingency)How to compare two offers
- Ask for the exact number of questions, engines, repeat runs, markets and competitors.
- Confirm whether the provider records dated evidence or only a summary score.
- Separate a one-time snapshot from recurring monitoring.
- Check whether recommendations, implementation help and a client readout are included.
- Do not interpret a single generated answer as a stable ranking or guaranteed future result.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an AI visibility audit cost?
Selected public fixed-price offers checked on 30 September 2026 ran from $197 to $5,500, but their scope varied substantially. Compare questions, engines, repeat runs, markets, competitors, analysis and support before comparing prices.
What changes the cost?
The main drivers are observation volume, competitive scope, evidence depth and the amount of reporting, implementation planning and client support.
Can one AI answer be treated as a stable ranking?
No. AI responses can vary by time, model, location, account context and wording. Record dates, exact prompts and evidence, and repeat observations when the decision needs more confidence.
