        "text": "Costs vary widely, but most small and mid-sized sites invest a few thousand dollars or several weeks of internal effort for meaningful AEO and voice search improvements.\n\nPricing depends on scope, content volume, and whether you use in-house staff, freelancers, or specialized tools.\n\n**Key factors**\n- DIY with internal team: mainly time cost (20–80 hours for audit, rewrites, schema).\n- Freelancers/consultants: often $1,500–$7,500 for a focused project.\n- Ongoing optimization and monitoring: monthly retainers or tool subscriptions.\n- Extra cost if you need major technical fixes (speed, mobile, structure).\n\nStart by scoping 5–15 priority pages and getting estimates based on clear deliverables: content rewrites, FAQ creation, schema markup, and tracking setup.\n\nTreat AEO spend as an extension of your SEO budget aimed specifically at earning “best answer” visibility in voice and AI systems.",

It’s worth it if your audience uses voice or AI heavily and if winning “best answer” positions can drive leads or revenue."
