The ceiling is the top of the highest published tier per service, billed as listed — some are retainers, some one-time builds. It marks where published pricing stops and custom quotes start; spend above these numbers is negotiated, not listed.
| Rank | Service | Top tier | Range | Billing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AI Agent for Your Business | Custom build (one-time) | $15,000–$100,000 one-time | one-time |
| 2 | Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) | Enterprise | $30,000–$60,000/mo | monthly |
| 3 | Search Everywhere Optimization | Enterprise | $20,000–$50,000/mo | monthly |
| 4 | Agentic SEO | One-time audit + overhaul | $5,000–$40,000 one-time | one-time |
| 5 | Agentic Website | Custom enterprise build | $10,000–$40,000 one-time | one-time |

Methodology: ranges are synthesized from published 2026 market pricing across vendors, agencies, and platforms, reviewed and refreshed monthly (last refresh: July 2026). Metro figures apply a cost-of-doing-business index (built from 2026 local cost-of-living and labor data) that we scale per price tier: self-serve tools are priced nationally and barely move between cities, while managed and enterprise work — which is delivered by local labor — carries the full local premium. That is why the same city shifts a done-for-you retainer far more than a DIY subscription. Prices are in USD and describe typical market rates, not quotes; a real quote for your business takes minutes through a verified provider on the hashtag.org network.
