Core Pricing
The math, published.
Three families. Published monthly prices. Never a percentage of your ad spend. Who runs it and how many channels decide where you fit.

Team Hours scale with Core Crew
Core Crew includes one Team Hour per channel, per month: one, two, or three. They are the human layer for strategy, campaign review, working sessions, and training. Counts are monthly baselines with no rollover. Core Foreman and Core Command have no hour meter.
Managed ad spend
A published step. Never a percentage.
Allowances are counted across all channels combined. Above the allowance, add $500 a month for each additional $10,000, or part thereof.
Your spend tier is set at onboarding from planned spend, then reviewed quarterly against the trailing three-month average. Changes take effect at the next quarter with 30 days notice, never mid-month.
At every family, no exceptions
- Emjae and the Core platform are included.
- Ad spend goes directly to Google and Meta from accounts you own. We never mark it up or take a percentage.
- Every purchased channel receives its complete monthly deliverable block.
- Monthly performance reporting is included. Core Command adds a walkthrough on the monthly call.
- You own your website, content, ad accounts, data, tracking, creative, and visibility history. If you leave, everything transfers within five business days.
Deliverables by channel
What a monthly channel block includes.
These are standard-account baselines, not ceilings. A finished published asset is researched, written in your Brand Bible voice, human-reviewed, imaged, published, and tracked.

AI Search Visibility (GEO / AEO) — Core Command only
| Group | What you receive | Cadence |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Visibility baseline across 7 engines, a 20–30 question tracked prompt set, entity consistency fixes, crawler-access verification, structured data, and 3 entity-clarity pages. | First 30 days; prompt set refreshed quarterly |
| Own site | 4 answer-first assets, passage engineering, schema expansion, and attributed expert quotes. | Monthly |
| Off-site trust | Google Business Profile reinforcement, directory accuracy, review responses, third-party placements, and geotagged local proof. | Monthly |
| Proof | Full prompt-set runs across 7 engines, fact-accuracy alerts, AI-sourced lead reporting, a gap ledger, and competitive-share trend. | Weekly, monthly, and quarterly |
No placement, citation, or ranking guarantees. We control the source pool, fact accuracy, and entity clarity—not what a model says. Three data points are the minimum before we call anything a trend. We do not sell llms.txt. Paid placement in AI answers, website rebuilds, review generation, engines beyond the seven tracked, and prompt sets beyond 30 are out of scope.
Methodology: Systematic sample, not a census. Answers vary by user context, location, account history, and model version. We report a directional, consistently measured trend against a fixed baseline using a fixed prompt set. No ad spend is required; every deliverable in this channel is organic work. You own the schema, pages, content, quotes, listings, imagery, and full visibility history, exportable within five business days.
Straight answers
The questions everyone asks.
Crew is $2,500 and Foreman is $4,000 for the same two channels. What am I paying the difference for?
At Crew, you decide and publish while we build and advise. At Foreman, we decide, publish, optimize, and own the result. The difference is who carries the marketing.
How do one-, two-, and three-channel prices work?
Core Crew is $1,500, $2,500, or $3,000 a month. Core Foreman is $4,000 for two channels and $5,000 for three. Setup is $2,500 per channel for either family.
Why is one-channel Core Foreman not priced on the page?
It is the fully managed single-channel service, but the operating scope varies enough that we price it on the fit call. The one-time setup is still $2,500.
Do you take a percentage of my ad spend?
No. Each family includes a published allowance, then adds a flat $500 per additional $10,000 or part thereof. We never mark up your media or take a percentage.
What counts as a published piece?
A finished asset: researched, written in your Brand Bible voice, human-reviewed, imaged, published, and tracked. Drafts on request are not counted as deliverables.
Can I move between families?
Yes. Setup is based on channels already configured, so you are not charged twice for the same setup work.
What if I leave?
You keep everything: website, content, ad accounts, data, tracking, creative, and visibility history. Full transfer happens within five business days.
Who runs it. How many channels.
Published pricing. No percentage of your spend.
The only thing left to figure out is fit, and that takes 20 minutes.
