SEO and AEO retainers
SEO retainers use the same three tiers as our AEO retainers. The fee reflects the account time we assign, not a count of keywords or prompts. Third-party costs, and tools bought for your use, are extra at actual plus a 10% handling charge. We do not charge you for the AI tools we use in our own development work.
| Tier | SEO alone | AEO alone | Both at separate prices | Both together, 20% off |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Enterprise | From ₹75,000 | From ₹75,000 | From ₹1,50,000 | From ₹1,20,000 |
| Medium Enterprise | ₹1,50,000 | ₹1,50,000 | ₹3,00,000 | ₹2,40,000 |
| Large Enterprise | ₹2,75,000 | ₹2,75,000 | ₹5,50,000 | ₹4,40,000 |
All figures are per month. When one team runs SEO and AEO for you, the work shares research, content and technical fixes, so we take 20% off the combined total. See our SEO and AEO service and the full AEO pricing page.
Integrated digital retainers
An integrated retainer puts social, SEO, AEO and content under one team and one plan. These retainers run from ₹8 lakh to ₹15 lakh a month, set by scope. For the social part of that scope, see our social media agency cost guide for Mumbai.
