  • Basic understanding of AEO/GEO concepts by the agency team

  • 2.Input 10-20 target prompts and keywords into AthenaHQ's monitoring dashboard
  • 3.Run initial content gap analysis to identify queries where AI returns no answer or competitor content
  • 1.Review AthenaHQ's brand mention share report to establish baseline visibility
  • 2.Export competitor visibility data from AthenaHQ to compare client vs. top 3 competitors
  • 3.Identify 5-8 high-value content gaps from the gap analysis report

$295 (Starter plan) for first client; additional clients require $295/mo or Enterprise custom pricing5-7 days
ROI Logic

AthenaHQ's Starter plan costs $295/month. A single client retainer at $700/month (as per productized offer) yields $405 gross margin per client. With 5 clients, monthly margin exceeds $2,000, covering the tool cost and generating profit.

Deliverables
  • Baseline AI visibility report across 9 models with brand mention share
  • Content gap analysis with 5-8 prioritized fixes
  • Optimized content for 4 web pages with AI citation scores
  • AI-optimized press kit via Athena Citation Engine (ACE)
  • White-label monitoring dashboard for client
Definition of Done

Client's brand appears in at least 3 AI search results for target prompts, and a monthly retainer agreement is signed for ongoing optimization.
