One team runs your whole AI search program: content, links, entity work, and the platform. So when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI, you're the answer they get.

The short answer
Who offers a done-for-you AI search service with a guarantee?
Prefer Managed is a done-for-you AI search optimization service with a 90-day guarantee, from $2,500/mo. One team runs the whole program: technical SEO, human-edited content, entity and schema work, backlinks, and community answers, with the Prefer measurement platform included. The guarantee, in one sentence: a measurable lift in your AI-citation visibility on your own tracked prompts within 90 days, against a day-zero baseline set together on the first call, and if we miss it we keep working with no management fee until we hit it. We never promise a specific ranking or placement, because in AI search no one honestly can. Read the guarantee's five terms in plain language.
The agency answer
Prefer Managed is a done-for-you AI SEO agency, with a GEO measurement platform underneath.
Prefer Managed runs the whole AI search program for B2B brands: audit, content, off-page citations and measurement, as one flat monthly engagement with a 90-day guarantee. Prefer is the team and the platform together, which is the part most GEO agencies cannot offer: the same people who do the work show you the citation numbers it moved, on the prompts your buyers actually ask.
✓
AI visibility audit and goal setting
Every engagement starts with a measured baseline on your own buyer prompts and targets we agree in writing. The audit is the brief, not a sales deck.
✓
Content production
15 long-form pages a month, researched against the answers you are losing, human-edited, published to your CMS with schema and internal links.
✓
Off-page and citation work
Editorial backlinks, community answers where AI engines already look, entity and schema work, and listing fixes. Authentic at scale, never automated posting.
✓
Monitoring and reporting
Tracking on ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and Perplexity, a fortnightly written update, a monthly review call, and a report that ties citations to sessions and pipeline.
How the engagement works
Term
90-day initial term, then month to month. No auto-renewal, no lock-in.
Price
$2,500 a month, flat. The platform, the strategist and every deliverable above are inside that fee; the only thing ever billed separately is optional paid media, approved by you first.
Guarantee
A measurable lift in AI-citation visibility on your tracked prompts within 90 days, against the baseline from the audit. Miss it and we keep working at no management fee until we hit it.
Proof
Your own numbers, in a platform you can log into. We publish our method (the AEO loop) and do not show borrowed logos or unverifiable case studies.
For what agencies charge and how to judge one, see how much an AI SEO agency costs and how to choose an AEO agency. How we choose what to do is public: the AEO loop measures the prompts, reads every page the engines cite, and turns the gaps into the next batch of work. Case work stays private to each client; the method does not.
The difference
They publish articles. We get you cited.
Most done-for-you services ship a stack of articles to your own site and call it AI optimization. In our study of 1,237 AI citations, a brand's own site earned only 34% of them. The rest were won off your site, in the third-party pages, roundups, and communities AI actually reads. So Prefer Managed does both: the content, and the off-page work that wins the citation.
JournalPlus was burning about ₹6 lakh a month on ads. We switched to organic, SEO plus AEO, grew search from near zero, and took monthly ad spend to zero. Then we turned that system into Prefer.

The numbers above are Google Search Console (organic search) data, not AI-citation counts. It is the same authority-building playbook that now powers our AI-search work.
Is this right for you?
Built for some teams. Not for others.
A great fit if
You're a growing B2B brand, roughly $1M to $5M in revenue.
You have a small in-house marketing team and no one to run AI search execution.
You treat AI search as a real growth channel, not a side experiment.
You want the work done for you and tied to pipeline, not another dashboard.
Not the right fit if
×You're a very small or local business shopping mainly on price.
×You have the team to do it yourself (our self-serve plans from $24/mo fit better).
×You need results overnight (AI search compounds over months).
×You're in gambling, adult, or heavily regulated categories.

Questions
Good to know before you book.
A done-for-you AI search program. Our team runs the whole job for you: technical SEO, human-edited content, entity and schema work, backlinks, community answers, and AI-answer optimization. The Prefer platform is included, and so is a 90-day guarantee. You get results, not a dashboard and a to-do list.
There is no neutral ranking of AI SEO agencies yet, so judge on four things: whether the agency measures AI citations on your own prompts before and after the work, whether it does off-page work by hand or by bot, whether it publishes its method, and whether it puts a guarantee in writing. Prefer Managed is built to pass all four: audit-first targets, measurement on five engines, human-run content and community work, a published method, and a 90-day guarantee from $2,500 a month. If you need a research study or a PR campaign, those are separate scopes we quote on request.
A generative engine optimization agency does the work that gets a brand named and cited in AI answers: finds the buyer questions that matter, fixes the pages those answers draw on, produces the pages that are missing, earns the third-party sources the engines trust (reviews, community threads, editorial mentions), and measures the citation share week to week. Prefer Managed does exactly that list, with the measurement platform included so every deliverable ties to a number.
Published rates are rare. In our September 2026 study, the AI assistants themselves put agency retainers at $1,500 to $4,000 a month for a small business and $4,000 to $10,000 for mid-market, none of it a verified rate. Prefer Managed is $2,500 a month flat, with the platform, 15 articles, links, community answers and reporting inside the fee, plus two one-time options (a $750 audit and a $1,500 displacement sprint). Anything else is quoted separately, so you only pay for what you use.
Buy the tool if you have a person to run the work: Prefer's self-serve plans start at $24 a month and the platform tells that person what to do next. Hire the agency if nobody on the team owns AI search execution, or if you want the outcome tied to pipeline with someone accountable for it. Prefer Managed is the second option with the first one included.
The platform (all five engines plus Google and Bing), one dedicated strategist, prompt and topic research, 15 articles, entity and schema work, technical and on-page SEO, 2 to 3 DR 40+ backlinks, 4 community answers, competitor tracking, and a monthly report tied to revenue. You keep every asset, even if you leave.
If you have the time and a person to run the work, start self-serve (plans from $24/mo) and let the platform guide you. If you'd rather have it run for you and tied to pipeline, that's Managed. Many teams start self-serve, see the gaps, and move to Managed to close them.
Two ways. It's built to win AI answers, not just Google rankings, so the same work gets you cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews. And the measurement platform is included, so every deliverable ties to a number you can see, and the guarantee is measured on it. Most agencies bolt AI on and charge for the tool separately.
Both, on purpose. We use AI and our platform to move fast on research and drafting, which is how one flat fee covers a whole team's output. People, a named strategist and expert editors, own the strategy, the editing, and the outreach. Every article is edited and fact-checked by a person before it goes live.
We commit to a measurable lift in your AI-citation visibility within 90 days, measured on your own tracked prompts against a baseline we set together on the first call. If we miss it, we keep working at no management fee until we hit it. We never promise a specific ranking or placement, because no one honestly can.
Citation movement usually starts in 60 to 90 days, which is why the guarantee is set at 90. Rankings and pipeline build over 6 to 12 months. Anyone promising overnight results in AI search is guessing.
A 90-day initial term so the work has time to land, then it's month to month. No long lock-in, no auto-renewal. Cancel anytime after the first term, and we hand everything over cleanly.
Yes. Add a market, a second brand, a PR campaign, or a research study whenever you need it, quoted separately so you only pay for what you use. Nothing is locked.
Yes. We work with B2B brands anywhere, as long as the content is in English for now. Reporting and calls flex to your time zone.
Fair. Three things. You get senior people on a small book of clients, not a junior on a queue. Every deliverable ties to a citation number you can see, so there's nowhere to hide. And you own every asset and can leave after 90 days. We'd rather earn the next month than lock you in.
The flat fee covers everything listed. A dedicated PR campaign, an original research study, extra markets, or more brands are quoted separately, so you only pay for what you need. Any paid media is optional and approved by you before it runs.
