Search changed — marketing hasn't

Stop writing SEO articles on your site. AI engines cite new content from third-party publications.


Search shifted

Most AI citations come from third-party sites, not yours

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews pull answers from the open web: reviews, industry publications, founder podcasts, community threads. Your domain is one source — rarely the main one.

Source
AirOps, 2026 State of AI Search, read 22 July 2026: about 85% of brand mentions in early commercial discovery come from external domains, and brands are roughly five times more likely to be cited through third-party sources than their own. Published 2026 figures for this range from about 39% to 95% because they measure different things — brand mentions, all citations, or earned media alone — so we quote the direction rather than a single tight percentage. BrightEdge, SEMrush.

Marketing hasn't

The SEO budget buys the wrong signal

Marketing teams pay for SEO retainers, writers, keyword tools, and ads. That can help Google, but AI engines cite external proof: reviews, publications, directories, cases, and third-party mentions. The budget goes where AI isn't looking.

Time to react

Buyers increasingly rely on AI recommendations

AI engines barely cite old SEO content. You need new content, by a new playbook, on the right venues — or AI recommends your competitors instead of you.


Choose your plan

Five plans, one difference: how many engines we scan and how many articles we ship.

You run the platform. Our team answers, reviews and unblocks — on every plan. What changes between plans is the prompt map, the engine list, the scan cadence and the number of articles the Workspace produces each month.


Starter

$149/mo

ChatGPT only. See how ChatGPT answers your buyers, and ship one article that changes the answer.

  • 100 prompts scanned in ChatGPT once a month
  • Citation map: where you are named, where a competitor is named instead
  • 1 article a month produced in the Workspace with source-backed brief and quality gates
  • Human support by email
Fits if…

You run marketing yourself or with one person and want a measured starting point before you commit a content budget.

Scale

$2,997/mo

6 engines. Category coverage: 1,000 prompts across six engines and 50 articles a month.

  • 1,000 prompts scanned once a month in 6 engines
  • Up to 50 articles a month with the same quality gates
  • Website Agentic Optimization: schema and llms.txt kept in shape for AI crawlers
  • Priority human support
Fits if…

Several products or markets, and the category is large enough that a hundred prompts do not describe it.

Outlier

$4,997/mo

6 engines. Two scans a month over 2,000 prompts and 100 articles: enough to move a whole category.

  • 2,000 prompts scanned twice a month in 6 engines
  • Up to 100 articles a month
  • Multi-brand workspaces and API access
  • Dedicated support contact
Fits if…

A portfolio of brands or a market where the answer changes weekly and one scan a month is too slow.

Same loop, four dials.

Prompts, engines, scans, articles. Everything else — the Workspace, the quality gates, human support, month-to-month billing — is the same on every plan.

Included on every plan

Measured, written, published, re-measured. Every month.

The plans change how many engines we scan and how many articles ship. The loop itself does not.

  1. Prompt research. The questions your buyers actually ask AI, per market and language, before anything is written.
  2. Hermes scan. Your brand, three competitors and the sources AI cites, on the engines your plan covers.
  3. Gap list. Which missing page, source or fix changes the next answer fastest, ranked, so the first article is the one that matters.
  4. Source-backed articles. Written by ContentOS against that list, fact-checked, schema included, ready for your site or for the third-party venues AI already cites.
  5. Website readiness. llms.txt, crawler access, schema and internal links checked by Website Agentic Optimization.
  6. Re-scan and report. The next scan shows lift, plateau or regression, and a person from our team answers the same day.

What stays with you: strategy, claims, approvals, publishing rights and the numbers. Unlimited seats on every plan; nobody pays per user or per credit.


Tool, agency, or this

A tool measures. An agency does the work on its tooling. Here the workspace does the work and you approve it.


AI visibility tool

$29–$2,250 a month

Otterly and Semrush AI Visibility ran $29 to $1,020 at their last readable prices. Profound no longer publishes a figure at all — its page reads “customized enterprise pricing” — and Profound quoted our client $2,250 for 600 prompts. They measure well. Writing, publishing and the site fixes stay with your team, and extra engines or prompts are add-ons.

Six platforms compared →

AEO / GEO agency

$2,000–$10,000 a month

A mid-market retainer in the 2026 pricing guides, $10,000 and up for B2B software, often with a setup fee. The work gets done. The tooling, the cadence and the prompt set are the agency's, and the report arrives monthly.

Who owns which handoff →

Humanswith.ai

$149–$4,997 a month

The scan, the gap list, the articles, the site fixes and the re-scan happen inside your workspace. You approve each step, the prompts and the numbers are yours, and a person from our team is one message away.

Back to the plans →

Where the outside numbers come from: tool prices from the vendors' own pricing pages, read on 7 September 2026; agency bands from published 2026 AEO/GEO pricing guides (The Digital Elevator, Stackmatix, 310 Creative, Discovered Labs). Neither band sets our price.


A new class of solution · AI-assisted marketing management

Old model — a team of contractors for every task. New model — one marketer + AI agents.


Old model

Copywriter, SEO specialist, PR, designer: one per task

A team of 4–6 contractors plus tool subscriptions. Each does their piece, the marketer assembles. Expensive, slow, uneven.

New model

One marketer manages AI agents through the platform

Humanswith.ai is a workstation for the AI-era marketer. They set strategy, AI agents execute under their control. 10× more output (10–12 vs 100–120 articles/mo), quality controlled at every step.

What changes

AI visibility in 2 months, not a year of SEO

AI engines cite fresh content from the right venues. The platform builds the strategy, ships the content, places the mentions, measures the lift. The marketer leads, AI agents do.


10× article throughput: 100–120/mo with one marketer + 18 AI agents vs 10–12/mo from a 6-person freelance team.

Compared with a 6-person freelance/content team at 10–12 articles/month; one marketer + 18 AI agents at 100–120 articles/month.


The economics

What a plan replaces.

Most teams that buy a plan are already paying for the work it does: a few contractors, plus the tool subscriptions each of them needs. The table below prices the second half, nine tools a small marketing team typically licenses, at the monthly rates the vendors publish, read on 21 July 2026. Treat it as a reference, not a benchmark: no one needs all nine, and it does not set the price of any plan.


Tool licences at published prices

Nine tools, one day's prices.

We used to write that a typical stack costs $2–5K a month. That was our number, and nobody could check it. So we replaced it with a table you can: nine licences, each linked to the vendor page it was read from, with the arithmetic behind the figure. Prices move, which is why the date is printed on it.

Licence Published tier Per month How the number is built
Profound · quoted to our client, not published, 8 September 2026 Enterprise, 600 prompts tracked $2250.00 quoted to our client for 600 prompts; the vendor publishes no prices
SerpApi Production, 15,000 searches/mo $150.00 published Production tier
Jasper AI Pro × 10 seats $590.00 published $59 per seat on annual billing × 10 seats
Surfer SEO Business $219.00 published Business tier; its price renders in the browser, not in the served HTML
Originality.ai Pro + 9 extra seats $104.50 published $14.95 base plus 9 × $9.95 per extra seat
Screaming Frog paid licence $16.58 published $199 a year divided by 12
Sitebulb Pro, 1 user $42.00 published Pro tier
Ahrefs Lite $129.00 published Lite tier
Semrush SEO & AI Search $117.33 published tier, billed annually
Stack subtotal $3,618.41 nine licences; published prices read 21 July 2026, the quoted line carries its own date

Two tools are left out on purpose. Profound (Enterprise / agency): the tier is on the pricing page but carries no number, it is quoted. Fact-check tooling (low-enterprise): no vendor in this class publishes a public price. We have internal estimates for both and keep them out of a public table: on 21 July our own research pass found five mistakes in our competitor sheet, four of them in our favour. Guessing somebody else's price is the easiest of those mistakes to make and the quickest for a reader to catch.

What the table leaves out: people. It prices software only. The writer, the analyst and the person who decides which gap to close this month are not in it, and in most budgets that line is the larger one. It is also the line a plan replaces.

Pricing questions buyers ask

Frequently asked questions about pricing

What is the difference between the plans?

Two dials: how many AI engines we scan and how many articles the Workspace produces each month. Starter scans 100 prompts in ChatGPT and ships 1 article. Growth scans 500 prompts in 3 engines of your choice and ships up to 20 articles. Scale scans 1,000 prompts in 6 engines and ships up to 50. Outlier scans 2,000 prompts twice a month in 6 engines and ships up to 100. Everything else — the Workspace, the quality gates, human support, month-to-month billing — is the same on every plan.

What counts as a prompt, a scan and an article?

A prompt is one buyer question we ask the AI engines, such as "best PSA software for consulting firms". A scan runs every prompt on your plan through every engine on your plan once and records who is named and who is cited. An article is one content unit produced in the Workspace end to end: source-backed brief, draft in your brand voice, fact-check, AI-text check, schema, ready to publish on your site or a third-party venue.

Which AI engines can I choose?

We scan 9: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot. Starter is ChatGPT only. On Growth you pick any 3 of the nine; on Scale and Outlier any 6. Regional engines for non-English markets are available on Custom.

Who runs the platform?

You do. Your marketer sets the prompt map, approves briefs and publishes; the Workspace agents do the work. Our team is human support on every plan: we answer, review setups and unblock you, but we do not write for you. If you want us to run it, that is a Custom conversation.

Can I start on Starter and upgrade?

Yes. Upgrades apply mid-cycle and are prorated. Most teams start on Starter to see the first ChatGPT scan and move to Growth once they have a gap list worth writing against. There are no annual commitments on any plan.

When do you ask for a card?

Not at signup. The Workspace is in private beta: leave your website on /sign-up/ and we get back to you within one business day. AI visibility tracking carries no setup fee; connecting the content engine does while we are in beta, and the amount is agreed on a call before we start. The card for the plan is asked once, inside the workspace, when you start the first collection — the run that shows where AI engines name you and where they name a competitor instead. The plan you picked starts then, and you can change or cancel it from Billing at any time.

Is there a setup fee?

It depends on what you switch on. If you use the Workspace for AI visibility tracking only, there is no setup fee: you collect the answers and see where AI engines name you from the first scan. If you want the content engine connected, we set it up together with you (brand voice, sources, quality gates, publishing) and, while the product is in beta, charge a one-time setup fee for that work. The amount depends on the scope and is agreed on a call before we start. We plan to drop the setup fee once the product is out of beta.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. All plans are month-to-month — cancel or downgrade any time, no penalty.

What is the refund policy?

14-day full refund on Starter and Growth if the first scan does not reveal at least one closeable visibility gap in your category. On Scale and Outlier we refund unused months minus completed work, case by case.

Do you offer custom enterprise pricing?

Yes. Multi-brand portfolios, more than 2,000 prompts, more than two scans a month, regional engines, compliance-heavy industries — talk to us directly and we size a Custom plan.

What does the first scan actually show me?

A per-engine breakdown of how the engines on your plan describe your brand across your prompt map: where you are named, where a competitor is named instead, which sources get cited, and a prioritised gap list — which articles would close the largest gap first.

How is this different from Profound, Otterly, or AthenaHQ?

Those tools are measurement-only — they report where AI mentions you. Humanswith.ai measures and closes the loop in one Workspace: the same subscription scans, writes the articles that earn new citations, and re-scans. That is why every plan has both a prompt allowance and an article allowance.

How long does it take to see results?

The first scan lands within days of setup. A citation-lift signal typically shows 6–8 weeks after the first articles go live on Growth and above; sustained share-of-answer growth took 3 months in our own dogfood case (humanswith.ai went from 2 to 1,000+ citations in 12 weeks). AI engines re-crawl their answer indexes weekly, not quarterly, so this moves faster than classical SEO.

Do you work in languages other than English and Russian?

EN and RU pipelines are production-grade today. Arabic is next (Dubai-based team, native coverage). Other languages are sized on Custom. We do not ship machine-translated content in any language.

Who owns the content you produce?

You do. All articles, schema and outreach assets produced in your Workspace are your property under standard work-for-hire terms. We may anonymise and use the metadata (citation gains, before/after numbers) in our /cases section only after explicit consent.

How is pricing different for agencies vs in-house?

Same plan prices for both. An agency running several clients takes one Workspace per brand; at five or more brands Outlier or Custom is usually cheaper than five separate plans.

Is this a tool or an agency?

Neither in the usual sense. A tool measures and leaves the writing, publishing and site fixes to your team. An agency does the work, but on its own tooling and cadence. Here the workspace does the work, scan, gap list, articles, site fixes and re-scan, and you approve each step; a person from our team is one message away. For scale: readable tool prices run $29 to $1,020 a month and Profound quoted our client $2,250 for 600 prompts, mid-market agency retainers $2,000–$10,000; our plans run $149–$4,997.

Do you charge per seat or per credit?

No. Every plan has unlimited seats and no credits. The only two dials are how many AI engines we scan and how many articles ship each month; the prompt count and the scans per month are fixed per plan, so the invoice does not move with usage.

What does a plan include?

Prompt research for your market, the Hermes scan of your brand and three competitors, a ranked gap list, source-backed articles written and fact-checked by ContentOS, website readiness checks (llms.txt, crawler access, schema, internal links), and the next scan with a report. Strategy, claims, approvals and publishing rights stay with you.


What happens in your first month

You run the platform. We stay one message away.


01

Week 1 — your brand goes in, the first scan comes out

Domain, competitors, markets, and the engines on your plan. The Workspace builds your prompt map and runs the first scan. Support checks the setup with you so the map describes your buyers, not a template.

02

Week 2 — you read the gap list, we walk you through it

Where each engine names you, where it names a competitor instead, which sources it cites. The gap list becomes the article queue for your plan. Support answers every question about what to write first and why.

03

Week 3 onward — you approve, the Workspace writes, the next scan measures

You approve briefs, the agents draft, fact-check and prepare schema, you publish. The next scan shows what moved. Human support stays on every plan; if you want us to run it for you, that is a Custom conversation.


Why this works

Five plans, one underlying mechanism.

Every tier runs the same loop — Hermes measures the per-engine citation gap, ContentOS ships the third-party trust signals that close it, Website Agentic Optimization gets the schema and llms.txt right, Hermes re-measures. What changes between plans is volume: how many prompts you track, how many engines answer them, how often we scan, and how many articles the Workspace produces in the month. The price is not a paywall on quality; it is a multiplier on the number of citation shifts the same loop can produce in the same calendar month.

The dated vendor table above is optional procurement context for one configuration. Our plan prices are not derived from that basket. They are set by the four dials in the comparison matrix, and human support is included on every plan rather than sold as a separate line.
