AI Visibility Monitoring & Optimization · from $1,250/mo

AI SEO isn't a project you finish. It's a position you defend.

A one-off win fades within 90 days. Engines re-crawl and competitors catch up, and the citations you earned quietly slip away, unless someone is watching and holding the line. That's the retainer: we track, defend, and grow your position across every engine.

Two plans: Monitor $1,250/month or Grow $2,500/month. Website maintenance included, no lock-in. Cancel any month it stops earning its keep.

AI visibility fades without active management.

A one-off sprint improves your citations. Without ongoing work, that improvement starts unwinding within 90 days.

One-off project only
Schema drifts out of spec as the site gets updated
Competitors enter your category and take your citation slots
AI engines update their models, your entity signals go stale
No visibility into citation movement or competitor changes
The work you invested in fades within 90 days
With Foundier's retainer
Schema maintained and updated every month as the site evolves
Competitor citation movements tracked and countered proactively
Citation presence monitored across all four AI engines monthly
Monthly report: you always know where you stand and why
The work compounds, each month builds on the last

Why this retainer

A retainer built for AI search from the start.

Not traditional SEO with AI added to the name. Not a dashboard you log into yourself. Active monthly management from people whose whole practice is AI visibility.

01

AI search is the only retainer we run

No paid media, no social, no traditional SEO retainers. Every retainer client gets people whose entire practice is AI visibility management.

02

The people who scope it deliver it

Whoever diagnosed your AI visibility gaps manages them every month. Same people, same context, every engagement.

03

Stay because it works, not because you're trapped

No minimum contract, no cancellation fee, website maintenance included. The retainer earns its place every month, and the report makes the value plain.

What active management looks like at month six.

Not a one-time improvement. A compounding asset. By month six you have six months of citation data, your competitors are tracked, and you can see exactly what's working.

Cited.

Named by AI engines more often

Six months of citation engineering, schema maintenance, and entity optimization give ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews every reason to cite you, and the monthly test shows how often they do.

Tracked.

Full visibility into your AI search position

You know exactly where you stand every month: your citation score, your competitor share, what moved and why. No guessing. No surprises.

Protected.

Your AI SEO investment defended

The work you invested in doesn't degrade. Active management keeps your schema clean, your entity signals current, and your citations growing as AI engines evolve.

Compounding.

Each month builds on the last

Unlike a one-off project, the retainer compounds. Every month's work builds on everything that came before it.

AI Visibility Monitoring, answered.

Everything businesses ask before starting a retainer. Answered straight.

What does the AI Visibility Monitoring retainer include?
Every month Foundier runs five pillars: Monitor (citation tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews), Optimize (schema updates, technical fixes, llms.txt maintenance), Report (a clear monthly report showing what moved and why), Adapt (strategy review and reprioritization), and Maintain (platform updates, security monitoring, daily backups, uptime monitoring). There are two plans: Monitor at $1,250/month and Grow at $2,500/month, which adds four citation-ready pages a month and ongoing third-party citation work. Website maintenance is included in both. No minimum contract.
Which plan do I need, Monitor or Grow?
Monitor is for businesses that are already being cited and want to hold that position: we re-run your 20 buyer prompts every month and fix whatever shifts. Grow is for competitive categories where holding still means losing ground: it adds four new citation-ready pages a month and ongoing work on the directories, listings, and mentions AI engines cross-check. You can switch plans any month. If you're not sure, the free snapshot or the audit will tell you.
What's the minimum commitment?
There is no minimum contract. Cancel any month. The retainer is designed so month two shows measurable citation movement, and by month three the compounding effect is clear. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you in.
What happens in the first month?
Month one includes a full AI visibility baseline: your citation score across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, your competitor citation share, your technical SEO state, and your entity clarity assessment. This is the foundation everything after is measured against. By the end of month one you have a complete picture of where you stand and a clear priority list for month two.
How is this different from a standard SEO retainer?
A standard SEO retainer focuses on Google rankings: keywords, backlinks, content volume. Foundier's retainer focuses on AI search citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. The technical overlap is real (schema, crawlability, and site structure matter for both) but the strategy, monitoring, and optimization work is built specifically for how AI engines decide who to cite. If you're not ready for a retainer yet, the AI SEO Services engagement is a good starting point.
Do I need the AI Visibility Audit before starting the retainer?
Not required. The first month of the retainer includes a full baseline that covers similar ground. But if you've already done the AI Visibility Audit, month one moves faster because the diagnostic work is already done, we go straight into optimization and monitoring, and your $750 audit fee credits toward your first month.
How long before I see results?
Schema and technical fixes can show effects in as little as 2 to 6 weeks as AI engines re-crawl. Meaningful citation movement typically appears within 60 to 90 days of the work going live, and multi-engine authority compounds over 3 to 6 months. AI engines re-index faster than Google, so results show sooner than traditional SEO, and the monthly report tracks the movement the whole way.
What does the monthly report actually look like?
Four sections: AI Citation Report (your citation presence across all four engines, movement since last month), Competitor Citation Share (who gained ground, who lost it), Work Completed (what we did this month and why), and Next Month Priorities (what we're focusing on and the rationale). Written in plain language. An optional 30-minute walkthrough call is included on Grow.
Is website maintenance really included?
Yes, on both plans. Plugin updates, security patches, backups, schema maintenance, Core Web Vitals monitoring, and a monthly site health check are all included in the retainer. It's handled by the same people. No extra coordination, no separate invoice. See the full scope on the Website Maintenance page.
What if my AI visibility doesn't improve?
If your citation share isn't moving in the right direction by month three, we'll tell you exactly why and what needs to change. We don't hide behind vague "SEO takes time" explanations. If the strategy needs adjusting, we adjust it and tell you what we changed and why. And because there's no contract, you can stop any month.
Is this the same as AI visibility optimization?
Yes. AI visibility optimization is the same work under another name: testing how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews answer your buyers' questions, fixing what holds you back, and re-testing every month. Foundier delivers it through this retainer: Monitor at $1,250/month or Grow at $2,500/month.
How is this different from using a monitoring tool myself?
Monitoring tools track your citations. They don't fix them. They tell you what's happening, not why, and they don't do the optimization work to change it. Foundier's retainer includes monitoring as one of five pillars, but the value is in what we do with the data every month: schema updates, content rewrites, technical fixes, and strategic adaptation that actually moves your citation score. If your site has deeper technical foundations to fix first, start with Technical SEO + Schema.

Your citations are either growing this month or a competitor's are.

AI engines update continuously. Competitors keep optimising. Citation share shifts every month whether you're watching it or not.
