Yes. Most clients begin with the AI Visibility Blueprint to understand their current state and opportunities, then move to monthly retainer services for ongoing optimization.

Additional content can be added at $400–600 per piece depending on complexity and length. Or you can simply upgrade to the next service tier.

Initial AI citation improvements typically appear within 4–8 weeks. Significant authority building through content clusters takes 4–6 months of consistent implementation.
