SERVICES · 3 TIERS · 9 SKUS
Three tiers. Nine SKUs. One ladder.
Diagnose · Optimize · Dominate. Audit before you fix. Fix before you scale. Scale before you defend.
ANSWER · AEO-EXTRACTABLE
vAEO services follow a three-tier ladder. Diagnose audits your AI Visibility. Optimize fixes what's broken. Dominate keeps you in the answer month after month.
Pricing is transparent. Scope is locked. Deliverables are contractually binding. We name what we promise · we name what we don't.
Diagnose tier — $250 to $750 · 48 hours to 5 days. Audits before implementation. D1 Quick Check ($250 · 48h) is a single-engine surface scan для buyers who want a fast read on the size of the problem. D2 Full Snapshot ($500 · 3-5 days) is the canonical audit — 5 engines · 20 queries · Citation Stack 4-layer health score · 10 prioritized findings · documented PDF artifact. Most engagements start here. D3 Emergency ($750 · 24-48h rush) is для active crises — AI engines misrepresenting your brand, a sudden visibility drop, or PR exposure.
Optimize tier — $1,000 to $2,800 · 5 to 10 days. Implementation by Citation Stack layer. O1 Foundation ($1,000 · 5 days) fixes Access + Structure — schema, semantic HTML, crawler allowlist, llms.txt manifest. O2 Trust Shield ($1,800 · 7 days) hardens Authority + corrects Semantics misrepresentation — для YMYL brands (finance · healthcare · legal). O3 Citation Engine ($2,800 · 10 days) is full-stack — Semantics + Authority production · content sandwich rebuild · cross-engine entity reinforcement.
Dominate tier — $5,000 to $12,000 per month. Continuous operations. AI engines reweight constantly. Brands without monthly correction work decay 40% within six months. Dm1 Maintain ($5k/mo) preserves what you built. Dm2 Grow ($8k/mo) compounds visibility through ongoing content + evidence operations. Dm3 Dominate ($12k/mo) is full-spectrum category authority work.

The ladder · in order.
Every vAEO engagement follows the same logical sequence:
- Diagnose first. You can't fix what you can't measure. Most buyers start с a $500 Full Snapshot · five engines, twenty queries, the full Citation Stack health score in five days.
- Optimize second. Once you know what's broken, you fix it. Optimize SKUs deliver concrete mechanical changes — schema corrections, content sandwich rebuilds, authority signal reinforcement.
- Dominate third. AI engines reweight. Competitors invest. Without continuous correction work, AI Visibility decays. Dominate retainers keep the work compounding.
You can skip Diagnose if you already have a credible audit from elsewhere. You can pause between Optimize and Dominate. You can engage at any tier. But the ladder is the sequence that works · skipping rungs costs money downstream.
«Audit before you fix. Fix before you scale. Skip the order and you'll pay for the audit twice.»
The full ladder · all nine SKUs · all pricing transparent.
Each tier has three SKUs at three depth levels. Pricing is locked. Delivery time is locked. Scope is locked. No hidden charges · no «discovery deck» upsell · no quote-on-request games.

Tier mapping to the Citation Stack.
Each tier operates on specific layers of the Citation Stack 4-layer model:
| L1 Access | L2 Structure | L3 Semantics | L4 Authority | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D1 Quick Check | assess | assess | — | — |
| D2 Full Snapshot | assess | assess | assess | assess |
| D3 Emergency | assess | assess | assess | assess |
| O1 Foundation | fix | fix | — | — |
| O2 Trust Shield | — | — | fix | fix |
| O3 Citation Engine | fix | fix | fix | fix |
| Dm1 Maintain | monitor | monitor | monitor | monitor |
| Dm2 Grow | monitor | monitor | fix | fix |
| Dm3 Dominate | monitor | fix | fix | fix |
Read the framework: All four Citation Stack layers must be present для AI engines to cite a brand. Missing any one = zero citation. Diagnose tier assesses all four. Optimize tier fixes specific layers based on audit findings. Dominate tier monitors continuously + fixes as drift occurs.
«Four layers · in order · all required. The tier you need depends on which layer is failing today.»
