GEO Pricing, Published

Start with a free scan or a $499 CAD audit. Then choose a fixed-scope website project or ongoing GEO from $2,850 CAD/month, depending on the work you need.

The short answer

Generative Engine Optimization at Fade Digital starts at $0 for an automated AI Visibility Scan across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. The paid AI Visibility Audit is $499, one-time, and covers six engines with a human-reviewed fix list. For implementation without a monthly retainer, the 30-day Website Enhancement Sprint has a fixed scope and a one-time project quote. Ongoing GEO programs start at $2,850/month. Enterprise engagements are quoted individually.

After the audit · before an ongoing program

30-day Website Enhancement Sprint

Turn the priority fixes into a better working website. We agree on the pages, changes and acceptance checks before work starts, then implement and test that scope in one focused project.

Fixed scope. One-time project quote.

The fee is confirmed in CAD after reviewing your site and the agreed work. No ongoing retainer required. The $499 audit is a separate service.

What we agree to deliver

  • A written fix list: named pages, deliverables, exclusions and acceptance checks, agreed before kickoff.
  • Priority implementation: selected improvements to service-page clarity, calls to action, mobile usability, forms, structured data or technical issues. Your scope specifies which are included.
  • Testing and handover: desktop and mobile checks, a change log, and a walkthrough of the completed work.
  • Before-and-after review: baseline screenshots and agreed technical or usability checks repeated after implementation. Conversion tracking is reviewed where access and consent allow.

Clear limits, from day one

  • 30-day delivery window: starts after scope approval and receipt of required access, content and assets. Approval delays or third-party dependencies may move the schedule.
  • Outside this sprint: full rebuilds, rebrands, custom applications, migrations, paid media management and ongoing content or citation campaigns.
  • Changes stay explicit: additional pages, integrations, paid tools or new requests need a separate quote and approval.
  • Measurement, without promises: technical completion is checked at handover. Traffic, lead quality and conversion trends need a suitable observation window; no ranking, AI-citation or revenue guarantee.

Choose the audit if you need a diagnosis, the sprint if you need a defined set of fixes implemented, or Growth if you need ongoing GEO work and reporting.

What's the difference between the free scan and the $499 audit?

The scan is a machine reading your site. The audit is a machine reading your site, plus a human reading the machine.

Pricing questions

Comparing agencies before you decide? Our guide to Toronto GEO agencies lists eight, alphabetically, with what each one publishes.

Two reasons. AI engines favour pages with visible, verifiable fees — a page that answers "how much does it cost" gets cited over one that says "contact us for pricing." And it's the question every prospect asks first, so hiding it just adds a call to the process for both of us.
Effectively yes, and deliberately. Every Growth engagement opens with the audit, because committing to monthly work before anyone has measured the baseline is how agencies end up billing for activity instead of outcomes. The audit is yours to keep whether or not you continue.
Growth is month to month with no minimum term and no setup fee. That said, GEO is not a one-month exercise — entity and citation signals compound over quarters, so most engagements need two to three months before the movement is worth reporting on.
Technical fixes — schema, crawler access, entity consistency — are read by AI crawlers within weeks. Citation and knowledge-graph effects build over one to two quarters. Anyone promising you AI citations in thirty days is describing a coincidence, not a method.
Yes. The work is location-independent and pricing doesn't change by market. Toronto and the GTA is where most of our client base and published research sits, which matters for local GEO specifically — we know what the engines say about this market because we test it continuously.
Paid media spend is billed separately and goes directly to the platform, never through us. Full website rebuilds, brand identity work and video production are scoped as separate projects. Growth covers the GEO program itself — the entity, content and citation work that decides whether AI engines recommend you.

Start with the free scan

It takes a URL and about two minutes, and it tells you whether ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini can see your business at all. If the answer is no, that's worth knowing before you spend anything.
