Published rates

    Published rates. No discovery call to find out the cost.

    Most firms in this space hide pricing behind a form. I don't. Here's what things cost, so you can decide whether to book a call before you spend one.

    Every price here is fixed. The hours show how I arrived at the number, not what you are buying. My rate is $130/hour. Every price is that rate times the hours, rounded to the nearest hundred, so the arithmetic is yours to check. If the work runs long, the price stays where it is.

    Start here

    Start small, or start free.

    Three ways in. Each one ends with something you can use on your own.

    1. AI Visibility Check

      Free

      Automated scan — can AI systems read your site? Scored, instant.

      Instant

      Why this price

      It is automated. A single run costs me nothing, so there is nothing to charge for.

    2. Fix Sprint

      $1,0008 hours

      The blocking problems from your scan, fixed and live.

      5 business days

      Why this price

      Eight hours. Enough to fix what the check found and put it live, not enough to redesign anything.

    3. Visibility & Opportunity Audit

      $2,60020 hours

      Full technical read, citation baseline, ranked opportunities, prioritised roadmap. A working document, not a deck.

      3–5 days

      Why this price

      Twenty hours across the four things it delivers: the technical read, the citation baseline, the ranked opportunities and the roadmap. It is a working document, so writing it is part of the work rather than a deck on top.

    Build

    One system, built and live.

    One project. One price, agreed before I start.

    Single System Build

    $7,900–$14,00061–108 hours

    One workflow, agent, website or visibility fix, built and live.

    4–6 weeks

    Why this price

    The spread is scope, not rate. Both ends are the same $130 an hour; what changes is how much there is to build.

    The AI-readable data system

    The system underneath, not the site on top.

    A different product from the list above. Priced by the state your data is in.

    Your data is already structured

    $14,000–$22,000108–169 hours

    Structured data layer, agent-readable API, MCP server, and the site on top.

    6–10 weeks

    Why this price

    Your data is already in one place and one shape, so the hours go into modelling it and building the layer on top. None of them are spent finding it first.

    Your data is scattered

    $26,000–$45,000200–346 hours

    The same layer, plus getting your sources into one shape before any of it can be modelled.

    12–20 weeks

    Why this price

    Your data is not in one shape yet, so most of these hours go into normalising and unifying the sources before anything can be built on them. That is the whole difference between this row and the one above it.

    Parcela Nova is one of these, built and live: a structured data layer with an open MCP server on top.

    Keep it running

    After it ships.

    Recurring work, or an hour at a time.

    Ongoing Partner

    $1,300 / $2,600 / $3,900/month10 / 20 / 30 hours a month

    Monthly retainer — visibility monitoring, iteration, new builds. No minimum term.

    Month to month

    Why this price

    Three levels, and each one is only its hours: ten, twenty or thirty a month at the same $130. Pick the one that matches how much you actually want done.

    Website Care Plan

    $600/year

    Hosting, domain, updates and support for sites I have built.

    Ongoing

    Why this price

    Not an hourly line. It covers hosting, the domain and the small changes that come up, which is why it is a flat yearly figure instead of an estimate.

    By the hour

    $130/hour

    For work that does not fit a fixed scope. Billed against agreed blocks.

    Scoped on the call

    Why this price

    This is the rate every other number on this page is built from. It is here for work that does not fit a fixed scope.

    Fixed price, fixed scope. The hours are my estimate of my own time, not a balance you draw down. If I am slow, that is mine to absorb. If the scope changes, we agree a new price before I start.

    Questions

    About the numbers

    How much does AI consulting cost?

    Published prices run from free to $45,000. An automated visibility check costs nothing, a Fix Sprint is $1,000, an audit is $2,600, and a single system build runs $7,900–$14,000. My rate is $130/hour, and every fixed price here is that rate times an hour estimate, rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.

    What is your hourly rate?

    $130/hour. Every fixed price on this page is that rate times an estimate of the hours, rounded to the nearest hundred dollars, and the hours are printed next to each price so you can check the arithmetic yourself.

    Do you charge a retainer?

    No, not unless you want one. Every project starts with a fixed price and a fixed scope. The Ongoing Partner retainer is an option rather than a requirement: $1,300 / $2,600 / $3,900/month, for 10 / 20 / 30 hours a month, with no minimum term.

    How much does an AI visibility audit cost?

    $2,600. That is 20 hours at $130/hour, delivered in 3–5 days: a full technical read, a citation baseline across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and AI Overviews, ranked opportunities and a prioritised roadmap. It is a working document, and if you take it to someone else to implement, that is fine.
