CORE PRICING
Every price we charge, on one page.
One product, four channels, one flat fee per channel. Nothing is a percentage of your ad spend, nothing is quoted behind a call, and the commitments are written out below in plain words. If you can add four numbers, you can price your own account before you talk to anyone.
CORE
We run it. We own the number.
Every account is fully managed by our team on the Core AI engine. Agents do the work, specialists who know your trade sign off, and nothing publishes without a human. You pick the channels. The number after Core is how many you picked: Core 1, Core 2, Core 3, Core 4. That is the whole product line.

What each channel costs
SEO starts at $2,500 a month, and AI Search Visibility is $2,000 a month, flat. Neither carries ad spend. Google Ads and Meta Ads are priced on the ad spend ceiling you choose for that channel, because a bigger account is more work. The fee is flat inside the ceiling and it is never a percentage of what you spend.
Flat channels
| Channel | Monthly fee |
|---|---|
| SEO | from $2,500 |
| AI Search Visibility | $2,000 (launching late 2026; see the note below) |
AI Search Visibility is the channel that tracks and improves how AI assistants answer your customers’ questions. It launches late 2026. If you buy it before launch, you are paying for the foundation work now and the channel is included from launch at no change in fee. If you would rather wait for launch, wait. We will not push it.
Google Ads or Meta Ads, each channel on its own ceiling
| Your monthly ad spend ceiling on that channel | Monthly management fee |
|---|---|
| Up to $3,000 | $1,000 |
| Up to $5,000 | $1,500 |
| Up to $7,500 | $2,000 |
| Up to $10,000 | $2,500 |
| Up to $20,000 | $3,000 |
| Up to $50,000 | $3,500 |
| Over $50,000 | We quote it by hand |
Add the rows. That is the fee.
Pick your channels, pick a ceiling for each paid one, add the rows. Here are ten accounts priced that way. Ad spend is on top of the fee; it is your money going to Google and Meta, and it passes through at cost.
| Configuration | Monthly fee | Ad spend ceiling | All-in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core 1: Google Ads, up to $3,000 | $1,000 | $3,000 | $4,000 |
| Core 1: SEO | $2,500 | none | $2,500 |
| Core 2: Google Ads and Meta Ads, up to $3,000 each | $2,000 | $6,000 | $8,000 |
| Core 2: SEO and Google Ads, up to $3,000 | $3,500 | $3,000 | $6,500 |

| Core 2: SEO and Google Ads, up to $10,000 | $5,000 | $10,000 | $15,000 |
| Core 3: SEO, Google Ads, and Meta Ads, up to $3,000 each | $4,500 | $6,000 | $10,500 |
| Core 3: SEO, Google Ads up to $10,000, and AI Search Visibility | $7,000 | $10,000 | $17,000 |
| Core 4: all four, up to $3,000 on each paid channel | $6,500 | $6,000 | $12,500 |
| Core 4: all four, up to $10,000 on each paid channel | $9,500 | $20,000 | $29,500 |
If your configuration is not here, it is still just the sum of the rows. There are no bundle discounts and no hidden tiers, so you will get the same number we would.
How the ceiling works
- You choose a ceiling for each paid channel when you sign. Your fee is the published number for that ceiling, flat, every month.
- Spend can move around inside the ceiling all it wants, including seasonally. The fee does not.
- Ceilings are reviewed every quarter. You can raise or lower one at any quarterly review with 30 days written notice.
- If your spend on a channel runs above its ceiling two months in a row, that channel moves up one step, and we tell you in writing before it happens. It never happens mid-month.
- We recommend the ceiling that matches the budget you are starting with, not a bigger one. Headroom you do not use is money you do not need to spend.
Setup, one time
Setup is the same internal work at every channel, so it is the same price at every channel. It is billed once, at signing, with your first month. If you are moving an existing account to us rather than starting from nothing, setup is $2,500 flat across all channels.
| Channels | Setup |
|---|---|
| Any channel | $2,500 each: Core 1 $2,500, Core 2 $5,000, Core 3 $7,500, Core 4 $10,000 |
What every account includes
There is no premium tier. Larger accounts get more of our attention because they are larger, and we do not charge for that.
| Every Core account | |
|---|---|
| Managed ad spend | Each paid channel priced on its own ceiling, per the ladder above |
| Performance reporting | Monthly report |
| Review call | Quarterly |
| Lead Intelligence | Included on every paid channel: every call and form fill scored for quality and matched back to the campaign, ad group, and search term that produced it |
| The Core platform and Emjae | Included |
| Your ad accounts, your CRM, your data | In your name, from day one |

What is not in the price
A page that only shows the good numbers is not a transparent page. Here is everything you might pay us for that is not in the channel fee, with the price.
| Item | Price | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Your ad spend | At cost, no markup | Every paid channel. Billed in advance on our invoice and passed straight through to Google and Meta. |
| CRM build and connection | $2,500 one time | If you do not have a CRM, or yours will not connect. Built in your own account, so it leaves with you. |
| Tracking setup | $1,000 one time | If call and form tracking are not in place yet. |
| Website service pages | $500 per page, $300 per additional page on an existing template | If a service you want to advertise has no page to send traffic to. |
| Monthly email program | $1,500 / mo | Only if you ask for it. |
| SMS program | $1,000 / mo | Only if you ask for it. Month one is build. |

If a number is not on this page, it is not a number we charge.
The commitments, in plain words
Every account runs on one published services agreement. You get it before you sign anything. Here is what you are committing to, without the legal wording.
- Term.
- Setup, then three months of monthly service. After that, month to month.
- Leaving.
- After the initial term, 30 days written notice. No cancellation fee.
- What you pay at signing.
- Setup plus your first month, including the first month of ad spend for any paid channel.
- What is yours.
- Your ad accounts, your CRM, your data, and everything we build for you that you have paid for. If you leave, we transfer all of it within five business days. Your CRM sub-account transfers at no charge.
- What is ours.
- The Core platform and the agents that run it. You get access while you are a client.
- What can change your fee.
- Only two things: you add or remove a channel, or your ad spend on a channel runs above its ceiling two months in a row. Both come with written notice first.
- What cannot.
- Your fee is never recalculated as a percentage of spend, never adjusted mid-month, and never changed without telling you.
FAQ
What is the number after Core?
How many channels you buy. Core 2 is two channels, for example SEO and Google Ads. The four channels are SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and AI Search Visibility.
Why publish pricing at all?
Nobody else in this space does. Because “call for a quote” means the price depends on who you are, and we do not think it should. Publishing it means you can price your own account, compare us honestly, and know that the number on your proposal is the number on this page.
Is the fee ever a percentage of my ad spend?
No. Never, at any level. You choose a ceiling for each paid channel, the fee is the published number for it, and it holds every month inside that ceiling.
How are SEO and AI Search Visibility priced compared with the paid channels?
SEO starts at $2,500 a month. AI Search Visibility is $2,000 a month, flat. Neither carries ad spend. Google Ads and Meta Ads are each priced on the ad spend ceiling you choose for that channel.
What happens if I grow?
You move up one step on the ladder, and you see it coming: the ladder is printed on your proposal, your monthly report shows where you are against your ceiling, and we tell you in writing before a step. Two months above your ceiling in a row moves you up.
Is there a contract?
Yes, and you will read it before you sign it. Three months after setup, then month to month with 30 days notice. Section 11 above is the plain-language version.
What if I want to leave?
Give us 30 days written notice after the initial term. Everything in your name stays in your name, and we transfer the rest within five business days. We would rather you leave cleanly than stay unhappily.
Published pricing. No percentage of your spend. No strings you cannot see.
We publish our prices because we think you should be able to check our math. If anything on this page does not match what you are quoted, the page is wrong and we will fix it.
