- How much does answer engine optimization (AEO) cost?
- Attention has three plans. Visibility & Growth is $129 per business per month for AI search tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews, standard SEO analytics, the website builder, a blog you write yourself, social drafts, and a report of what AI brings you. Autonomous Growth is $329 per month for up to 3 businesses and adds structured data published for you, website updates driven by your tracked trends, and blog posts drafted for you against the searches you lose. Agency & Enterprise is $799 per month for 15 to 30 client sites with full white-labeling and priority crawling. A one-off audit of three searches is free. For comparison, a local SEO agency retainer for the same kind of business typically runs from several hundred to several thousand dollars a month.
- What is the difference between the plans?
- Visibility & Growth measures: it tells you which answers you appear in and which you lose, and gives you the site, the blog and the social drafts to do something about it yourself. Autonomous Growth does more of that work for you. Structured data is published, the site is updated as trends move, posts are drafted against the searches you are losing for you to approve, and each change is re-measured. Agency & Enterprise is Autonomous Growth for a book of business: many client sites in one dashboard, your branding on the reports, and your audits ahead of everyone else in the crawl queue.
- Do you write blog posts for me?
- On every plan you can write and schedule your own posts, free and without a limit, and see for each one how many people visited it and whether AI answers started citing it. Autonomous Growth also drafts 4 posts a month for you, each aimed at a search you are losing in AI answers and written only from facts you have given us. Anything we cannot trace back to your business is flagged, law, medical, dental and med spa posts follow the advertising rules for those professions, and nothing is published until you approve it.
- Do you post to my social media?
- We draft posts sized for each platform, check them the same way as everything else we write, and give every one a tracked link back to your site. You can copy a draft and share it through LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X or Google Business Profile. Direct account connections and automatic posting are not included yet. We also show which social profiles AI answers cite for your searches, so you know where posting is worth the time.
- Can I see what AI actually brings my business?
- Yes, on every plan. For a site built with Attention you see the visits that came from AI assistants, the inquiries those visitors sent, which ones became customers and what that work was worth, next to what you pay us. It only counts visitors whose browser said they came from an AI assistant, so people who read an answer and then called you directly are not counted, and the numbers are smaller than the real effect rather than larger.
- Why do I have to prove I own my domain?
- Domain proof protects existing-site integrations: nobody else can connect your web address or claim to be your business. You add one record at your domain company, or a small tag on your current site, and we check it. The hosted website currently publishes on an Attention address; custom-domain hosting is not included yet.
- Is there a discount for paying yearly?
- Yes, 20% off every plan. Visibility & Growth is $103 per month billed as $1,236 once a year, Autonomous Growth is $263 per month billed as $3,156, and Agency & Enterprise is $639 per month billed as $7,668. The switch on this page shows both. Monthly plans stay month to month with no minimum term.
- Do you charge per prompt?
- No. Plans are priced by the business rather than by the question, and each one includes a set number of tracked searches. Most AI visibility tools meter you per prompt, which prices the measurement and gives away nothing for the work of fixing what the measurement finds. Attention charges for the outcome, appearing in the answer, not for the questions asked to check.
- Is Attention an SEO tool or an AEO tool?
- Both, on every plan. Attention measures the answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews, and it measures classic search results alongside them. The two share signals: structured data, trusted citations, clear entity information. Measuring one without the other tells you half the story.
- What do I get for free?
- A one-off audit of three searches across all five answer engines, with the verbatim answers, the competitors recommended instead of you, and the sources each engine cited. No card is required, and nothing is published or changed on your site.
- Can I cancel, and what happens to my site?
- Plans are month to month and you can cancel at any time. Structured data served to your own site is one line of code you control and can remove yourself. Anything Attention published on your behalf can be taken back down with one click.
- Do you offer pricing for agencies managing several clients?
- Yes. Agency & Enterprise is $799 per month for 15 to 30 client sites in one dashboard, with full white-labeling, so reports and client-facing portals carry your agency's branding rather than ours. Priority crawling puts your scheduled audits first, and advanced access to raw exports and early surfaces. Everything in Autonomous Growth applies to every client site on the account.
