        "text": "Budget AEO software similarly to mid-tier SEO or analytics tools: a core platform license plus internal or agency time to act on the insights. Costs typically scale with the number of domains, tracked topics, and answer engines monitored—not just seat counts.\n\nThe software itself is only part of the picture; you’ll also need capacity for content restructuring, schema implementation, and ongoing measurement to realize value.\n\nKey factors:\n- Platform pricing (tiers by domains, queries, or engines)\n- Implementation/consulting support if your team lacks AEO experience\n- Internal time for content, technical SEO, and reporting\n- Expected impact on organic acquisition and brand visibility\n\nOn a limited budget, start with a smaller plan focused on a few high-value topics, prove uplift in citations and traffic, then expand scope. Ask vendors for clear ROI examples from similar businesses instead of broad promises.\n\nTreat AEO software spend as a strategic bet on AI search visibility, comparable to investing in SEO tooling rather than a speculative add-on.",
