The groundwork for being found and chosen in AI and Google search, delivered in 2-3 weeks. Foundation has seven components:

Market and niche map, prioritised by demand, fit and competition
Buyer demand research: what your buyers ask Google and AI assistants
Expertise and proof review (E-E-A-T: experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trust)
AI visibility baseline: 30-50 buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews
Narrative check: how the web and AI describe you vs. what you actually do
Technical readiness of your site
Prioritised roadmap, plus a walkthrough call

Payment: 50% on signing, 50% on delivery.

Placement budget: at cost, zero markup

The placement budget covers external publications and listings. It is billed separately at cost, with zero markup: typically €500-2,000 a month, depending on the category. We agree it with you in writing before anything is spent.

Quoted separately: Google Ads and website projects

Google Ads (Search and Shopping) and website projects are separate services with their own scope. They are not part of Growth and are quoted separately. For Google Ads, you pay media spend directly to Google.

What we don't do: social media management, Meta campaigns, email marketing or outbound LinkedIn lead generation.

What raises the price above "from"

The "from" price covers the starting scope. Four things raise it.

Table: What the Growth "from" price includes, and what costs more

Factor	Included in "from"	Raises the price
Markets	One market	Each additional market
Languages	One language	Each additional language
Execution tracks	One primary track	Each additional track
Volume	The starting scope	More work per month than the starting scope covers

Foundation is priced on the same factors: markets, languages and the scope of research and measurement. The final price depends on market, language and scope, and is fixed in your agreement.

What you pay for, and what we don't promise

CitedLift is founder-led from the Netherlands. Strategy, measurement and every review stay with the founder; specialists join where the roadmap needs them.

We commit to three things:

Measurement: a baseline in Foundation, then a monthly re-measurement on the same prompt set in Growth.
Execution: the track agreed in your scope.
Transparency: you approve every piece before it ships, and placement spend is at cost and agreed in writing first.

We don't guarantee outcomes, and we don't promise placement in any specific AI engine. AI assistants decide what they cite, and no agency controls that.
