Published GEO prices in India start around ₹50,000 a month. Of the Bangalore agencies whose pages we checked on 17 October 2026, two publish prices, from ₹56,888 a month standalone and from ₹79,999 a month inside an SEO retainer, and the rest quote on request. International guides list $3,000–$25,000 a month. Citemark's plans are on the pricing page.
The market
Few Indian agencies publish GEO prices. In a roundup of seven Bangalore GEO agencies on ZeroAdo's blog, none lists a figure; all quote after a call. Two Bangalore agency sites we checked publish: AI SEO Solutions lists three monthly plans and a sprint, and DigiMark Agency includes GEO in SEO retainers and prices a standalone audit. The figures are below.
| Source | What is published | Price |
|---|---|---|
| AI SEO Solutions, Bangalore (own site) | Three monthly GEO plans; month to month, 30 days' notice | ₹56,888, ₹86,888 and ₹1,98,888 a month; 90-day sprint ₹1,49,997 fixed |
| DigiMark Agency, Bangalore (own site) | GEO included in SEO retainers from the Growth plan; standalone AI search readiness audit | Retainers from ₹79,999 a month; audit from ₹40,000 |
| ZeroAdo, “7 best GEO agencies in Bangalore” (roundup) | Seven agencies profiled | No prices; all custom or on request |
| Revv Growth, “GEO agency pricing”, updated 6 October 2026 (global guide) | Typical agency ranges, not India-specific | $3,000–$25,000+ a month; audits and projects $1,000–$10,000+ |
None of the Indian pages says whether the price includes GST, which is charged at 18 percent on services. Assume it is extra unless the quote says otherwise. Our own pricing page states it: our prices exclude GST, are month to month, and include SEO, AEO and GEO together.
What you pay for
Six things set a GEO price: how many prompts are tracked and on how many engines, how many pages are written or rewritten, whether engineering fixes are shipped in your codebase or handed over as a document, how much digital PR and mentions work is included, the reporting cadence, and whether a named senior person is on the account.
| Driver | Low end | High end |
|---|---|---|
| Prompts tracked | 50 prompts, 3–4 engines | 400 prompts, 6 engines, share of answer against named competitors |
| Content | 2 answer-first pages a month | 8 pages a month plus original data pieces |
| Engineering | Recommendations document | Fixes shipped as pull requests in your codebase |
| Mentions and PR | Directory listings | Ongoing digital PR and community programme |
| Reporting | Monthly dashboard | Monthly report with screenshots, plus weekly working sessions |
| People | Account manager | Dedicated engineer and the founder on the account |
Scope
A GEO plan worth paying for includes an audit before the first invoice, a prompt map you agree on, entity and indexing setup across Google and Bing, technical fixes shipped, a stated number of pages a month, mentions work, and a monthly report with a screenshot behind every number. If any of these is missing, the price is not comparable.
What each engine says about you today, screenshot by screenshot, and the three fixes that matter most. Free or paid, it must come before the plan.
How many prompts, which engines, how often they are run. “AI visibility” without a count is not a deliverable.
Schema, Google Business Profile, Bing Webmaster Tools and IndexNow, llms.txt, crawler access. One-time work that every plan should include in month one.
Rendering, schema and indexing fixes made in your codebase, or at least as specific tickets your team can act on.
Pages per month, who writes them, who is named as author. Nothing should be published without a name and a date.
Which third-party pages, and what the agency will do to get you on them. No paid links.
Screenshots, not scores. What moved, and what changed on the site or off it in the same month.
Engagement model
Three ways to buy GEO exist in India. A monthly retainer suits a brand that wants the work to continue as engines change. A fixed-term sprint, usually three months, suits a brand that wants to see citations before committing. A one-off audit suits a team that will do the work itself. The free audit comes before any of them.
| Model | Typical term | Best for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly retainer | Month to month, or 6–12 months | Ongoing work as engines change; competitive prompts | Lock-in periods; a price that excludes engineering |
| Fixed sprint | 90 days | Seeing first citations before committing | A sprint that is only an audit; no handover |
| One-off audit | 1–3 weeks | Teams who will implement themselves | A list of problems with no priority order |
Whichever you buy, a 30-day notice period is reasonable and a 12-month lock-in is not. Engines change too often for anyone to know what the work looks like a year out.
Candidly
Do not pay for a guarantee of a citation or a ranking; nobody controls the engines, and a published timeline with screenshots is the honest alternative. Do not pay for links. Do not pay for a tool's dashboard presented as a strategy. Do not pay extra for “AI schema” or “AI submission”: Google says no special structured data is needed.
Checklist
Put the two quotes side by side on seven lines: prompts tracked and engines, pages a month, who ships the engineering, mentions work included, report format and cadence, notice period, and who is on the account. Then ask each agency for last month's report for an existing client, with the client's permission. The report tells you more than the price.
How many, which engines, how often. Ask to see the prompt list format.
How many, who writes, who is named as author, who approves.
Pull requests, tickets, or a PDF? Who has access to the codebase?
Which pages, what method, and confirmation that no links are bought.
Ask for a redacted sample. Screenshots or scores?
Notice period, GST, what happens to the content and accounts if you leave.
Who does the work, and will you meet them before signing?
Our answers to the seven are on the pricing page and the GEO service page. The free audit is where we start, whichever quote you choose.

The free audit runs your category's prompts on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews and shows who each engine cites today. Five working days, screenshots included.
