What each plan includes, in full.
Most agencies hide their pricing behind a form. We publish ours, explain exactly what is in each plan, and quote it in euros — the same for every market. Below: the three ways to work with us, what each one actually delivers, and how to tell which one fits.
the short answer
The AC Group offers three plans, all priced in euros: a one-time Audit at €3,500 (where most clients start), a monthly Growth program at €5,500/mo with a six-month minimum, and a custom Scale program from €9,500/mo for multi-market and bilingual work. The Audit tells you where you stand; Growth and Scale do the continuous work of earning and keeping citations.
Audit
€3,500
one-time · 10 business days
For teams who want a clear, honest read on where they stand before committing to anything ongoing.
- 200+ prompts across 5 enginesWe run a structured set of buyer-style questions through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and record where you appear, where a competitor appears instead, and how each engine describes you.
- Competitor citation-gap analysisFor the questions that matter in your category, we map who gets cited and who does not — so the gap between you and the cited brand is a specific list, not a vague worry.
- Entity & schema technical auditWe check whether your organization is a clean, recognizable entity to a machine: structured data, the signals that disambiguate you, and the technical reasons an engine might fail to connect a mention to your brand.
- 90-day remediation roadmapA prioritized plan you can act on — with or without us — ordered by what moves citation fastest for the least effort.
Growth
€5,500/mo
6-month minimum
For growth-stage companies that want consistent execution, not a one-off report — the program that turns the roadmap into citations.
- Entity foundation + schema buildWe build the technical base: a unified organization entity, the structured data engines read, and the disambiguation signals that let an AI connect every mention back to you.
- 6 citation-engineered pieces / monthSix pages a month written to be quoted — a clear answer up top, the structure engines extract cleanly, and the depth that makes yours the best answer on the question.
- Daily monitoring, 5 enginesWe track where you are cited across the five engines every day, so a drop or a win is caught in days, not discovered a quarter later.
- Weekly reports · Slack channelA short, honest weekly read on what moved and why, and a direct channel for the questions that come up between reports.
- Partial performance guaranteeWe share the risk: if agreed citation targets are not met within the set window, a portion of the fee is credited. The exact terms are written into the agreement, not left vague.
Scale
€9,500+/mo
custom scope · multi-market
For companies that need more volume, more than one language, or earned authority work beyond the page — built to a scope we agree together.
- Everything in GrowthThe full Growth program is the floor, not a separate track — Scale adds to it rather than replacing it.
- 12+ pieces / month, EN + ESDouble the output, produced as true bilingual pairs so the Spanish work is not a translation afterthought but a first-class answer in its own market.
- Wikidata & earned-media strategyAuthority an AI inherits from outside your own site: the third-party presences and references that make engines treat you as a known, credible entity.
- Custom dashboards via APIYour citation data piped into the reporting you already use, rather than a PDF you have to open.
- Dedicated senior strategistA named senior lead who owns the account, not a rotating queue.
All prices in EUR · no hidden currency surcharge · what you see is what goes in the agreement
What the line items actually mean
Plan bullets are short by necessity, so here is the longer version of the terms that decide what you are really paying for.
What "citation-engineered" means
A citation-engineered page is written backwards from how an AI reads it. It leads with a direct answer an engine can lift cleanly, breaks the topic into the questions people actually ask, carries the structure and credible sourcing a model looks for, and goes deep enough to be the best answer on its question rather than one of many adequate ones. It is the opposite of a page produced to fill a keyword slot.
What the entity foundation does
Before an AI cites you, it has to recognize you as a single, well-defined entity and connect every mention to that one thing. The entity foundation builds exactly that: a unified organization identity in your structured data, the verifiable signals that disambiguate you from similarly named things, and the connections that let an engine resolve "this brand" to you with confidence.
What the performance guarantee covers
It is a partial, written sharing of risk — not a promise of a specific ranking, which no honest provider can make. We agree citation targets and a window up front; if they are not met, a defined portion of the fee is credited back. We would rather put a real stake on the table than sell certainty we cannot control.
Why a retainer, not per project
Citation is earned and maintained, not installed once. Engines change, competitors publish, and a page that is cited this month can be displaced the next. A retainer funds the continuous work — producing, monitoring, and adjusting — that the outcome actually requires. The one-time audit exists precisely for those who want a fixed-scope start before committing to that.
How to choose
There is no wrong door, but there is usually a right one for where you are right now.

Pricing questions, answered straight
Why do you publish your prices?
Because the alternative — "contact us for pricing" — asks you to trust a number you cannot see. Publishing the prices is the same discipline we sell: be the clear, verifiable source. It also lets an AI engine quote our pricing accurately when someone asks, which is the whole point of the work.
Are the prices really in euros for everyone?
Yes. The figures are the same for every market we serve, quoted in euros, with no hidden currency surcharge. What you see on this page is what goes into the agreement.
Is there a minimum commitment?
The Audit is one-time, with no commitment beyond it. Growth has a six-month minimum, because citation is earned over months, not weeks — a shorter window would not give the work time to show results, and we would rather be honest about that than sell a 30-day program that cannot deliver.
What exactly does the partial performance guarantee cover?
Agreed citation targets within a defined window. If they are not met, a written portion of the fee is credited. It is a real, bounded stake — not a guarantee of a specific ranking, which nobody can honestly promise.
What happens after the audit?
You get the 90-day roadmap and you own it. You can execute it with your own team, hand it to another provider, or continue with us on Growth or Scale. There is no obligation to continue, and the roadmap is written to be usable without us.
Can I start on Growth without the audit?
Yes. The audit is the recommended entry point because it makes the first months sharper, but if you already know your situation, you can begin on Growth directly and we will fold the diagnostic work into the first weeks.
Do you work in Spanish as well as English?
Yes — the firm is bilingual by design. On Scale, the Spanish work is produced as a first-class answer in its own market, not a translation bolted on at the end.
What size company is this built for?
Our focus is growth-stage B2B SaaS companies, roughly €1M to €20M in ARR. The plans are sized for that reality, which is also why we are not the right fit for everyone — and we will say so plainly if we are not.
Start with the free snapshot
Before you pick a plan, see where you stand. The free AI visibility snapshot checks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews already cite you — in 48 hours, with no sales call. We have done this work for 27 years; the snapshot is how it starts.
