Generative Engine Optimization Pricing, Explained
For B2B exporters, manufacturers and SaaS teams comparing GEO retainers, per-query work and SEO bundles.
Generative engine optimization pricing is where most buyers stall, because agencies quote it in ways that are hard to compare. At RAGSEO, GEO is not sold as a separate retainer. It is bundled into two monthly SEO plans, Flagship and Premium, so you pay one fee that covers SEO work and GEO work together, with the query count and article volume written into the plan.
This page is for marketing directors, founders and export managers doing due diligence before they commit. Below you will find what a GEO query means in practice, what the 3-month result standard does to your risk, when a custom package makes more sense than a listed plan, and how the numbers are reported back to you.
Where this usually starts
Quotes you cannot compare
One agency bills per query, another per article, a third folds GEO into a vague retainer. You cannot tell which quote buys more monitored visibility.
You cannot see the work
GEO deliverables are invisible by nature. Without a defined query list and regular screenshots, you are paying for activity you cannot verify.
Paying twice for one job
You already run SEO. A separate GEO retainer often duplicates keyword research, content and reporting you are funding somewhere else.
What you get
GEO plan and query scope
We define the query scope, goals and deliverables in writing before work starts, so you know which ChatGPT queries are being targeted and what gets reported.
GEO knowledge base
We collate your products, cases and materials into a RAG knowledge base, so content is built from your own facts rather than generic industry filler.
EEAT content creation
Writers produce EEAT-compliant articles aimed at your target queries, drafted with the RAG system and reviewed by professional editors before publication.
On-page and technical work
Schema markup, loading speed and mobile adaptability are handled alongside the content, since these affect whether engines can read and reuse your pages.
Distribution on 20+ platforms
GEO content goes out across 20+ authoritative global platforms including Medium, PR Newswire and industry-specific sites, plus your own website.
Citation tracking and reporting
Citations are monitored regularly with screenshots in ChatGPT search mode, not logged in, and you receive monthly SEO reports with Google Search Console data.

What a GEO program delivered
A RAGSEO client program (client anonymized), a mining equipment manufacturer making crushers, screening plants and conveyors, ran localized landing pages in English, Spanish, Arabic and other languages with Schema markup. Monthly impressions grew from approximately 20,000 to 1,450,000, over 70 times. Average CTR rose from 1% to 2.1%. Inquiries grew 400% versus pre-optimization, with a clear upward trend from the end of 2023 to early 2024.

Why RAGSEO
GEO sits inside SEO
Flagship and Premium plans include GEO articles and ChatGPT queries alongside standard SEO work, so one fee covers both instead of two overlapping retainers.
You see the target list
Flagship includes 10 ChatGPT queries and Premium includes 20, so the monitored scope is a number you can check rather than a promise.
Refund if targets slip
Citations are checked with screenshots in ChatGPT search mode, not logged in. If the 3-month target is not met, a proportional refund applies, and monitoring continues after the target is reached.
Questions buyers ask
What counts as one GEO query?
A query is a specific question or prompt a buyer would type into ChatGPT search, such as a product-plus-application question in your category. We agree the list with you before work starts. Flagship covers 10 ChatGPT queries and Premium covers 20, and each one is monitored with screenshots in ChatGPT search mode, not logged in.
Which plans include GEO, and what do they cost?
GEO is bundled into Flagship and Premium. Flagship is $1,050 per month with 8 articles, 120 keywords, 60 backlinks, 5 premium backlinks, 20 GEO articles and 10 ChatGPT queries. Premium is $2,900 per month with 12 articles, 150 keywords, 250 backlinks, 25 premium backlinks, 20 product page optimizations, 20 GEO articles and 20 ChatGPT queries. Prices as of September 2026; see ragseo.ai/price for current plans.
What does the 3-month result standard actually protect?
It sets a target for the agreed queries over three months. Citations are monitored regularly with screenshots in ChatGPT search mode, not logged in. If the 3-month target is not met, a proportional refund applies. Monitoring continues after the target is reached, so you keep seeing whether the position holds.
Can you guarantee we appear in ChatGPT answers?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. ChatGPT answers either from live web search, which GEO can influence, or from knowledge stored in the model without web access, which cannot currently be optimized. Optimizing for ChatGPT tends to help visibility in Gemini and Grok too because they reference public web content, but each model has its own mechanism, and we evaluate only against ChatGPT search results.
When does a custom package make sense?
When your query scope, language mix or content volume does not fit a listed plan. Annual plans run from Standard at $5,400 to Premium at $34,800 as of September 2026, and a 3-year plan gets 20% off in the third year. If your targets sit outside those scopes, we quote a custom package instead of stretching a standard one. See ragseo.ai/price for current plans.
