Every tier runs the full platform. Multi-location rollouts, franchise networks, and enterprise content volumes get scoped directly.
The only difference between tiers is how much we publish.
Technical optimization, schema and entity work, citation tracking, reporting, and the optimization loop all run on your account from month one. A higher tier means more articles, posts, and press. It doesn't unlock more capability. You get the full Cognos engine at $1,500 and at $3,500.
We generate the full tree of sub-questions a model retrieves against before answering, then score every branch by commercial value and difficulty to produce the publishing plan.
We run your priority questions against ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews on a schedule, store the full responses, and track citation movement as a trend line.
Continuous scanning across crawl access, rendering, structured data, speed, and Core Web Vitals, with fixes implemented on our side and blockers caught in days.
Articles briefed from the scored fan-out map, structured so a model can lift a clean answer, and cleared through a scoring pipeline before anything publishes.
One connected entity graph across your site with stable identifiers, plus off-site fact consistency so every source agrees on who you are.
Your Google Business Profile kept complete and correct, with posts on a regular cadence and categories matched to what your site actually sells.
Monthly press releases built on real developments and placed where they get crawled, surrounded by citations that repeat the same core facts about who you are.
We revisit published work against current model behavior, rewrite what lost ground, and reinforce what's winning, so published pages never go stale.
A live dashboard plus one weekly document showing prompt-level citation movement, what shipped, what it changed, and what's next, written to be forwarded rather than decoded.
Running continuously, no matter the tier
- Continuous technical work: crawl access, rendering, speed, and Core Web Vitals monitoring
- Entity and schema graph built, validated, and wired into your templates

Before you ask us.
How much does Cognos cost?
Cognos starts at $1,500 a month for Tier 1, $2,500 for Tier 2, and $3,500 for Tier 3. Every tier adds a one-time $1,000 setup fee. Programs are month to month with 30 days notice.
What's the setup fee for?
The first 30 days of real work: technical audit and baseline fixes, building your prompt set or contact segments, connecting your CMS and analytics, and writing the plan we then execute against. It's charged once, not per tier.
What's included in a monthly plan?
The full program: query fan-out mapping, technical optimization, entity and schema work, published content, Google Business Profile posts, digital PR releases, and prompt-level citation tracking, all run by our team.
Is there a contract?
Month to month with 30 days notice. We recommend giving the program at least 90 days before you judge it, since citation movement compounds, but that's guidance, not a commitment you sign.
Can I change tiers later?
Any month. Move up or down as your volume needs change, and there's no new setup fee when you do.
Who owns the content you publish?
You do. Every article, page, release, and asset we produce is yours to keep.
How fast do we start?
Kickoff happens within a week of signature, and the first thirty days are the setup work the fee covers.
What if I need more than the top tier?
Then we scope it. Multi-brand rollouts, franchise networks, and enterprise content volumes get a custom program rather than a stretched tier.
When should I expect results?
We typically see a lift once the technical fixes are complete, and citations and exposure grow as content publishes. Growth typically shows up in the 60 to 90 day window, and continues from there.
