Service 1: AI Bot Access Configuration — $89

What it does: We audit your robots.txt, Cloudflare bot settings, and any other CDN/firewall rules that might be blocking AI crawlers. We configure proper allow rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and ChatGPT-User. Verified with curl tests.

Why it's the first step: 68% of websites accidentally block AI crawlers — most often through Cloudflare's "AI Scrapers and Crawlers" setting enabled by default. You can implement every other AEO technique perfectly, but if AI bots can't reach your site, none of it matters.

Who needs it: Everyone. This is the first thing to check before any other AI visibility work.

Delivery: 1 business day. You receive: updated robots.txt file, Cloudflare configuration changes, curl test results showing AI bots can access your site.

Expected impact: If you were blocked, Perplexity citations can appear within 1-2 weeks of unblocking.

Order AI Bot Access Configuration — $89

🤖 Start Here: AI Bot Access — $89, 1 Business Day

68% of sites block AI crawlers without knowing it. Before doing anything else, verify your site is accessible to GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended.

  • robots.txt + Cloudflare review and fix
  • Curl verification before and after
  • Access confirmation for 4 major AI bots
  • Documentation of all changes made

Service 2: llms.txt + llms-full.txt Creation — $149

What it does: We create two markdown files at your site root that tell AI systems what your business does, what services you offer, and which URLs matter most. The standard llms.txt is a concise overview. The llms-full.txt is extended with more detail.

Why it matters: Without llms.txt, AI must infer your business identity from scattered content and often gets it wrong. The format is the new open standard proposed by Jeremy Howard in 2024 and gaining adoption across major AI platforms.

Who needs it: Any business wanting AI search engines to understand and cite them correctly. Especially valuable for multi-service companies, local businesses, and companies with technical jargon.

Delivery: 2 business days. Complete llms.txt + llms-full.txt, both deployed and verified accessible.

Expected impact: Combined with FAQ Schema, llms.txt has produced AI citations within 1-2 weeks of deployment in our case studies.

Order llms.txt Creation — $149

Service 3: Quick Answer Blocks — $190

What it does: We write Quick Answer blocks for up to 10 of your service pages using BLUF format with concrete facts AI can extract and cite.

Why it works: AI extraction looks for direct factual statements with concrete numbers, timeframes, and specifics. Marketing copy fails because it uses storytelling. Quick Answer blocks convert your existing content into AI-extractable format.

**Transformation example:**

*Before:* "We help businesses transform their operations through innovative solutions."

*After:* "Our team builds custom CRM systems for microfinance lenders. Implementation 4-6 weeks. ROI $40,000–110,000/year. 12 European companies served since 2018."

Delivery: 3 business days. 10 Quick Answer blocks with BLUF format, integration guidance, examples for additional pages.

Order Quick Answer Blocks — $190

Service 4: JS Prerender for AI Crawlers — $290

What it does: We audit your site for JavaScript rendering issues and implement static site generation, SSR, or prerender services to make content visible to AI crawlers.

Who needs this service: Sites built with React (without Next.js), Vue (without Nuxt), Angular SPAs, or Svelte SPAs without SvelteKit. You don't need it if your site is WordPress, Drupal, Next.js/Nuxt already with SSR, Astro, or plain HTML.

Why it's critical: 41% of modern SPA-based business sites are completely invisible to AI crawlers because of JavaScript rendering. Your browser shows the page perfectly — but curl returns an empty <div id="root"></div>.

Delivery: 3 business days. Rendering audit report, prerender implementation, curl test results confirming all key pages return content.

Order JS Prerender — $290

Service 5: FAQ Schema + AEO Content — $390

What it does: We add 5-7 AEO-optimized FAQ questions per page across 10 of your most important pages, with FAQPage JSON-LD Schema markup. Each question researched from real customer queries, answered in BLUF format.

Why it's the highest-impact content service: FAQ Schema is the most-cited Schema type in AI search. The format is a perfect match for how AI extracts and cites information — discrete questions with discrete answers. In our own case studies, FAQ Schema produced measurable Perplexity citations within 1-2 weeks.

Delivery: 5 business days. 10 pages with FAQ Schema, JSON-LD code, visible FAQ sections, Rich Results Test validation.

Order FAQ Schema + AEO Content — $390

📋 FAQ Schema: Highest Content ROI in the Entire AEO Stack

FAQ Schema is the most-cited Schema type in AI search. We add 5-7 questions per page across 10 pages — real customer queries, BLUF answers, validated JSON-LD. First citations typically appear within 1-2 weeks.

  • 5-7 FAQ questions per page — researched from real queries
  • FAQPage JSON-LD on 10 key pages
  • Rich Results Test validation — all pages pass
  • Internal links to related services included

Service 6: AI Content Hub — $490

What it does: We build a complete content hub at /resources/ (or your preferred path) with categorized articles, guides, and tools. Includes proper Schema markup, internal linking structure, and AEO-optimized landing pages for each category.

Why content hubs are AI's favorite: AI engines preferentially cite content hubs over individual blog posts because hubs signal authoritative coverage of a topic. A well-structured content hub becomes a citation magnet.

What's included: Hub landing page at /resources/, up to 5 category pages, Schema markup (CollectionPage, BreadcrumbList), internal linking strategy, content audit identifying gaps, AEO optimization for the entire hub.

Who needs it: Businesses pursuing long-term AI authority — companies with existing content libraries, plans to publish ongoing content, or multi-service offerings needing topic structure.

Delivery: 7 business days. Complete hub structure, category pages, Schema markup, internal linking, content audit report.

Order AI Content Hub — $490

Recommended Buying Order and Expected Timeline

Optimal sequence for most businesses: 1. AI Bot Access ($89) — Always first 2. llms.txt ($149) — Foundation file 3. Quick Answer Blocks ($190) — Low-cost, high-impact content fix 4. JS Prerender ($290) — Only if you're on a SPA 5. FAQ Schema + AEO ($390) — Highest content ROI 6. AI Content Hub ($490) — Long-term authority

Minimum viable AEO stack: $428 (AI Bot Access + llms.txt + Quick Answer Blocks)

Expected timeline after implementation: - Week 1-2: Perplexity starts citing after AI Bot Access + llms.txt - Week 2-4: Google AI Overview after FAQ Schema + Quick Answers - Month 1-3: ChatGPT Browse cites you for target topics - Month 3-6: Sustained authority across all major AI engines

Perplexity is the fastest. ChatGPT is the slowest. Google AI Overview is in between. This pattern is consistent across all our client implementations.
