Citant.ai Pricing: Published, Fixed, and Refund-Backed
Citant.ai GEO pricing, published and fixed: a $440 AI Search Audit and a $7,875 nine-week GEO Pilot with a money-back guarantee. The optional retainer starts from $5,000 per month.
How much does a GEO agency cost? Most agencies in this category quote on request and bill monthly with no defined end. Citant.ai is a GEO agency specializing in LLM visibility and AI search citation, and the Retainer exists only if you choose it after the Pilot. No onboarding fee, no setup fee, nothing renews automatically. All prices in USD.
The $440 is credited in full against the GEO Pilot if the Pilot is signed within 30 days.
How Much Citant.ai GEO Services Cost
One ladder, not a menu: start with the audit, prove it in the Pilot, scale in the Retainer.
AI Search Audit
Start hereOne-time
$440
No minimum term. Delivered within 72 hours of kickoff.
A fixed-methodology diagnostic across the 6 tracked platforms: where your brand is named, fetched, and cited today, what the models get wrong about you, which sources feed your category’s answers, and the quick wins you can do yourself, with nothing gated behind the Pilot. Before you buy anything, check whether AI crawlers can reach your site; the free report is the technical half of what the audit measures. No follow-on obligation.

GEO Pilot
$7,875 total
Three payments of
$2,625
At kickoff, day 30, and day 60. Fixed scope, 9 weeks, not a subscription.
Execution across all five workstreams for 9 weeks, measured on 10 target queries you co-approve, tracked independently, and judged at a dated week-9 review. Payments land at kickoff, day 30, and day 60, so no payment exceeds $2,625 and each payment lands 30 days after the last. The $7,875 is the whole cost of the engagement, and nothing follows it unless you choose the Retainer.
Runs for 9 weeks from kickoff. Carries the money-back guarantee, stated in full further down this page.
GEO Retainer
Ongoing and optional
From $5,000
Per month, 3-month minimum. Begins only after a completed Pilot.
Continued execution, monthly per-platform reporting, and ongoing entity authority maintenance. Month to month after the 3-month minimum, with 30 days notice. Optional by design: the Pilot ends cleanly whether or not this begins.
No lock-in beyond the 3-month minimum. Begins only after a completed Pilot.

What the GEO Pilot Guarantee Commits Citant.ai To
Every GEO Pilot carries one written bar and one remedy, in the same words the contract uses.
During a GEO Pilot, your brand is named on at least 3 of the 10 agreed target queries across at least 2 of the 6 tracked platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity AI, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews) within 9 weeks, or every Pilot payment is refunded, initiated from our side within 24 hours of the week-9 review. The $440 AI Search Audit is fixed and non-refundable.
-
The queries
The 10 queries are chosen with you after the audit, from commercial queries where your brand is cited zero times at baseline. Nothing enters the list without your written approval.
-
The measurement
Tracking runs daily in an independent third-party platform, and the per-platform record is delivered at three dated gates: day 0, week 4, and week 9.
-
The refund
The refund requires no claim from you. If the week-9 review shows the bar unmet, it initiates from our side within 24 hours, through the original payment rail.
The counting rule, the adjudication protocol, and the two conditions that void the guarantee are set out in full on the guarantee page.
Why Citant.ai Pricing Has No Subscription
Citant.ai pricing has no subscription anywhere on it, which is why it looks different from most agency pricing pages in this category. The audit is one payment. The Pilot is a fixed engagement with a printed end date, a fixed total, and a refund if the bar is unmet. The only recurring price on this page is the Retainer, it is optional, it begins only after a completed Pilot proves the work, and it releases with 30 days notice. Open-ended monthly billing is good for agencies. Fixed scope with a money-back bar is good for the buyer, which is why Citant.ai puts it in writing.
GEO Pricing FAQs
How much does a GEO agency cost in 2026?
Most agencies in this category quote on request. Citant.ai generative engine optimization services pricing is fixed and public: $440 for the audit, $7,875 total for the 9-week Pilot. The optional retainer starts from $5,000 per month afterward.
How much should an AI search audit cost?
Enough to be diagnostic, not so much that it is a project in disguise. The Citant.ai AI Search Audit is $440, delivered within 72 hours of kickoff, and credited in full against the Pilot when signed within 30 days of audit delivery.
Does the Pilot fit a $5,000 monthly budget?
Yes. No payment exceeds $2,625, and payments are 30 days apart, at kickoff, day 30, and day 60, so no 30-day budget window ever carries more than one payment.
Is the GEO Pilot billed monthly?
No. The Pilot has no monthly rate and is not a subscription. It is a fixed total of $7,875 for a 9-week engagement, split into three equal payments of $2,625 for cash-flow reasons, and it ends on a printed date whether or not anything follows.
Is the GEO Pilot refundable?
It is refundable on one condition, and that condition is published. If the week-9 review shows your brand was not named on at least 3 of the 10 agreed queries across at least 2 of the 6 tracked platforms, every Pilot payment is refunded, initiated from our side within 24 hours and requiring no claim from you. The $440 AI Search Audit is separate and is never refunded.
Are there any other fees?
No. No onboarding fee, no setup fee, no tooling surcharge, no overage billing. The totals on this page are the totals.
What happens when the 9 weeks end?
The engagement ends. Nothing renews automatically. If the guarantee bar was unmet, every Pilot payment refunds, initiated from our side within 24 hours of the week-9 review. If it was met, the Retainer is available and entirely optional.
Can we skip the audit and start the Pilot?
The audit is where the 10 guarantee queries come from, so the Pilot cannot be scoped without it. It is also credited in full, so skipping it saves nothing.
Is the $440 audit refundable?
No. It is a fixed-price diagnostic, delivered within 72 hours of kickoff, and the deliverable is yours regardless of what you decide afterward. The money-back guarantee attaches to the Pilot only.
Is there an affordable way to start with GEO?
The $440 AI Search Audit is the entry point: one-time, delivered within 72 hours of kickoff, and credited in full against the GEO Pilot when signed within 30 days of audit delivery. Nothing else on this page is required to start.
What is kickoff?
The later of cleared payment and receipt of your intake form plus access. Both the audit’s 72-hour clock and the Pilot’s 9-week clock start there. Defined in full on the Citant.ai terms page.
