✦ THE PROPRIETARY DIFFERENTIATOR

Every tier and every category on this page is built with CiteRE in mind — CiteHQ's proprietary Resonance Engine, decoding whether an AI citation builds trust or costs it, not just whether it exists. The core model is functional today. It isn't a separate line item — it's already priced into everything below. Read the full CiteRE story →

⚠ Category 6 is opt-in by vertical. A client engages only the specific vertical services relevant to their business — a logistics client does not pay for HIPAA-compliant healthcare workflows, and a healthcare client does not pay for trade-lane mapping. Pricing shown reflects a single-vertical engagement.

Every term, in one place

Everything governing pricing, eligibility, and duration across this entire portfolio.

1

The Launch Promotion

20% off every price on this page — all three retainer tiers, all First Movers Engagements, The Complete Evaluation, and all five category-level setup and maintenance prices — for the full 12-month term of the contract. Contracts must be signed by December 31, 2026.

2

Geographic Eligibility

Available to businesses in the Greater Houston region — a launch-phase restriction tied to CiteHQ's initial market focus, expected to be reviewed as the business expands beyond ramp-up.

3

AI Citation Pulse

Offered free through December 31, 2026. After that date, CiteHQ will evaluate it against competitive positioning and funnel performance and decide whether to continue offering it at no cost — using real data, not a predetermined answer.

4

Category 6 — Houston Market Focus

Not a universal layer. A client engages only the specific vertical services relevant to their industry; a client requiring multiple verticals receives a custom-scoped quote.

5

The AI Visibility Gap Audit — One Product, Two Listings

Appears in both First Movers Engagements and as component 1.1 of The Complete Evaluation. Same product, same price ($2,500 full / $2,000 launch) — not sold twice.

6

Category-Level Pricing, Categories 2 Through 6

Not itemized line by line. Each category is priced as a whole. A client interested in a specific service receives a custom scope through a consultation, not an itemized checkout.

That's everything, in writing. If a number still doesn't add up, ask — we'd rather explain it than bury it.

Before you book

What's the difference between AI Citation Pulse and the AI Visibility Gap Audit?+

AI Citation Pulse is a free check, with results in 48–72 hours — 5 fixed queries across 3 platforms, pass/fail only. The AI Visibility Gap Audit is the full diagnostic — 15 to 25 custom queries across all 6 platforms, full 0–4 scoring, competitor mapping, and a prioritized fix list, delivered in 14 days.

What's the difference between Starter, Growth, and Authority?+

Starter is the foundation tier for teams proving the model works. Growth adds monthly thought leadership, expert placements, and full six-platform monitoring. Authority adds competitive citation intelligence, digital PR, entity building, and priority strategy access — for teams ready to own their category, not just be visible in it.

What is the Launch Promotion, and am I eligible?+

20% off every service on this page — all retainer tiers, First Movers Engagements, and category pricing — for the full 12-month contract term, for businesses in the Greater Houston region who sign by December 31, 2026.

What happens to my price after the promotion ends?+

Launch pricing locks in for the full 12-month term of your contract, regardless of when the promotion window closes. New contracts signed after December 31, 2026 are priced at standard rates.

Every number here answers to a citation-share report.

Not a promise. A number — the same discipline behind every price on this page.
