What it costs is the wrong first question.
The right one is what it's worth to be the name AI gives your customer, every time they ask. epicAUTHORITY is a bespoke monthly engagement, and we take one business per market. We don't post a public price, because the work is scoped to where you stand today. Your number comes from the free audit and a short conversation, once you can see exactly what we'd build. Here's how to think about it.
Ads are rent. Authority is real estate.
Every ad you run is rent on attention, gone the second you stop paying, with nothing left behind. The mentions we build don't vanish when the month ends. They stack, they compound, and they pull traffic through every channel, not just AI answers.
You're not renting visibility. You're buying an asset that appreciates, the durable authority AI cites and your customers trust. That reframes the whole question. The fee isn't a cost you carry. It's the price of owning the answer in your market.
What you're really comparing it to.
The alternative isn't doing nothing. It's stitching the pieces below together, an SEO retainer, a PR wire, a content agency, an AEO retainer and its setup fee, the tools, maybe a hire, at multiples of one managed fee, and still owning none of it as an asset.
| What you'd otherwise pay for | Typical Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| SEO agency (average retainer) | $2,819/mo | Ahrefs |
| Content marketing agency (standard) | $5,001-$10,000/mo | WebFX |
| PR distribution (2 releases/month) | $1,610-$2,790/mo | Prezly |
| AEO retainer (managed agency) | $2,000-$10,000+/mo | First Page Sage |
| Agency setup / onboarding fee (one-time) | $1,500-$5,000 | industry typical |
| AEO monitoring tools only (stack) | $400+/mo | Profound+Ahrefs+Semrush |
| In-house team (4 roles + tools) | $30,308-$41,772/mo | ZipRecruiter/PayScale |
| epicAUTHORITY, all of it run for you, owned by you | One fee, less than the pieces |
We don't print our number on this page. Bespoke work, scoped to your market, deserves a real conversation, not a sticker on a shelf. The free audit is how you get to it.
What the fee buys, and why there are only five.
- The Fix: we correct what AI gets wrong about you before we build, so it can recognize you accurately.
- Authority in Motion: one true story of your expertise, turned into earned mentions across 300+ credible sites you don't own.
- Authority Stacking: we do it again every month, so your authority compounds and sticks.
- Two scores reported side by side every month: your epicAuthority Score (the cause) and your AI Visibility Score (the proof).
- A dedicated team that runs the whole thing for you. You answer a few questions; we do the work.
Founding Authority Partners: five businesses, one per market, locked in at a founding rate for life. One business per market means we never build a competitor's authority next to yours. When the five spots in a lane are filled, they're filled. The founding rate never rises for you, even as standard pricing does.
Why it's monthly, not one-and-done.
Authority is a living asset. The web and AI weigh recency heavily, so a mention from this month carries far more pull than one from two years ago. Stop feeding it and your score doesn't freeze at the top. It slowly settles, while every competitor still publishing climbs past you.
That's the whole reason the model is monthly. Not to keep billing you. To keep you the answer.
Skip the trust. Run the test. See the results.
If we don't deliver, you don't pay. Period.
The Score moves, or we keep working free
One guarantee, and it's the only one we make: your epicAuthority Score rises within the first 90 days, or we keep working free until it does. We build the authority asset, so we stand behind the one number we directly control.
Proof, not promises
We report two numbers side by side every month: your epicAuthority Score (the cause we build) and your AI Visibility Score (how often AI engines name you). The earned mentions are real and verifiable. Authority is the product. Visibility is the proof.
No false promises
We don't promise patient counts, revenue, traffic numbers, or specific keyword rankings, because no honest operator can. We guarantee the one thing we directly build and move: your authority. Performance is reviewed in the open, every month.
This is a serious monthly investment for one business per market that's ready to own its category. If you're comparing $99 tools, we're not the fit, and that's fine. If you want to be the answer, let's find your number.
