AI Knows Us Margin Threshold

AI Knows Us charges a flat per-client fee: GEO Growth at $299/mo and GEO Scale at $599/mo, regardless of how many answers or pages a client consumes. That makes agency margin a function of client count, not client size. At three retained clients, a $299 plan resold at 2x leaves roughly $900/mo gross, which barely covers the 12 hours of setup and 4 hours of monthly reporting the service demands. Past ten clients, the same reporting template and question-mapping process amortize across the book, and a 2-3x markup on GEO Scale ($599/mo) becomes defensible to law firms and SaaS clients who see weekly named-in-answer movement. The threshold test: count retained clients before signing. Below ten, sell GEO Growth only and keep scope tight. Above ten, standardize on GEO Scale and treat the visibility API as the reporting backbone that justifies the retainer.
