LLMO, AEO and GEO are three names for one job: make a page the sentence an answer can quote, and make that page easy to retrieve. A medium-sized UK business does not buy that as a network mandate. Integrated.Social starts from £3,000 a month. The highest named monthly fee this site already prints is Ogilvy UK at £50,000 or more, and that figure is for a large integrated mandate, not a verified LLMO retainer, so this page does not rank them first.
What a buyer is actually buying
| Name a buyer hears | What they are buying | What this page will not do |
|---|---|---|
| LLMO | The same facts, stable enough for a model to repeat | A training workshop as the engagement |
| AEO | The same pages, written so an answer can lift a passage | A promise of a citation by a date |
| GEO | The same entity, named the same way wherever models look | A second content programme |
| A network mandate | A large integrated brief, often £20,000 to £50,000 a month on our IMC list | Proof that the firm sells LLMO at that fee |
What a medium-sized business should scope
The useful unit of work is a defined set of pages, questions and implementation responsibilities. Ask which pages will receive answer-first revisions; who owns technical changes and structured data; how internal evidence will be checked; and how paid and earned material will point back to the same useful page. These are practical scope questions, not a claim that any engine will deliver a fixed citation result.
Price context without an agency league table
Starting from £3,000 per month. The same senior brief, priced for a medium-sized business rather than a network minimum.
- Starting from. Foundation is £3,000 a month for up to 25 pages. Growth is £5,000. Authority starts from £9,500. The fee depends on page count and how much of the work we take on.
The £1,800 to £45,000 spread appears only as an unnamed market range in the UK AEO pricing guide. It is not attached here to a named firm. For a senior medium-business scope, compare pricing and use Which tier? to set out page count and ownership.
What not to buy
Do not buy a third content programme that repeats work already needed for SEO, AEO and GEO. Do not accept a promise of a citation by a date. And do not use a network mandate figure as proof that a provider sells LLMO at that amount. A good brief describes the entity, the pages, the evidence, the technical implementation and the decision process.
