What’s the sweet spot for AEO/GEO retainers in the Indian market?
Hey everyone,
I’m exploring AEO/GEO (Answer Engine Optimization / Generative Engine Optimization) as a service and trying to figure out the right pricing for the Indian market.
For those already offering these services or working with agencies, I’d love to understand a few things:
● What would you consider a reasonable monthly retainer for Indian businesses?
● At what price point do businesses start seeing this as a serious investment rather than an experimental service?
● What’s a realistic minimum contract period — 3, 6, or 12 months?
● Are businesses actually willing to pay ₹50k–₹1L+ per month for this, or is the market still too early?
I’m particularly interested in working with B2B companies where appearing in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews could influence buying decisions.
Would love to hear from people with actual client experience, agency owners, or businesses investing in AEO/GEO.
What do you think is the sweet spot for a monthly retainer in India, and why?
