You've got the questions, we've got the answers.

Why $6,000/month?
It's what real founder-led SEO and AEO costs to deliver. Citation tracking infrastructure, listicle outreach, technical work, content production, and a real strategy mind on your account every week. Below this, the work cuts corners; the corners cost you citations.

What's included in the retainer?
ANTE is a boutique SEO and AEO shop. White-glove, hands-on service. We do whatever it takes to see results, because results for you equals results for us. Revenue is the only number that matters.

What's NOT included?
Brand identity work, paid media, full-funnel CRO, video production, design system work, customer support content. We do SEO and AEO, and the work directly adjacent to it. Anything else, we tell you up front and refer to a specialist if helpful.

When does the $6,000 rate change?
It doesn't, for the life of your engagement. If you sign at $6,000/month, that's your rate. We may raise the published rate for new clients in the future; existing clients are grandfathered.

What's the cancellation policy?
90-day minimum to give the methodology time to land. After that, month-to-month with 30 days' notice. We don't lock anyone in.
