How much does AEO cost?

Answer

AEO engagement pricing varies by scope and brand stage. Project-based AEO audits typically range from one to five lakh rupees in India and three to ten thousand US dollars elsewhere. Multi-month AEO retainers start at three to five lakh rupees per month in India (or three to ten thousand US dollars per month) and scale with scope. Spacemen Digital offers free scoping calls and shares pricing after scope alignment.

What drives pricing

Brand stage (growth vs enterprise), scope (just AEO vs combined SEO + AEO), engineering work required (schema implementation, llms.txt builds, AI Instructions pages), content output, and citation harvesting volume.

What to budget

For a credible AEO program, plan for at least three to six months of retainer work to see citation lift. Audit-only engagements give you the diagnosis but not the cure. Most brands underinvest in AEO relative to its strategic impact.
