Some Veda AI engagements are fixed and transparent. Others depend on the challenge, systems, data, team and level of implementation required. This page explains where pricing is fixed, where it starts and what affects the final scope.
Operate better. Build smarter. Grow with confidence.
Free
A commercial and technical routing conversation to clarify the challenge and identify the most appropriate next step.
Free, subject to qualification
A focused first look at whether there is evidence of a commercially important AI-search visibility gap.
Where is the business losing time, capacity, margin or operational visibility — and what should improve first?
Best for: Unclear or cross-business operational problems, several workflows, owner dependency, capacity pressure or fragmented systems.
Where is the business losing visibility and recommendations, why is it happening and what should improve first?
Best for: AI-search visibility concerns, competitor recommendation gaps, an unclear citation position or the need for a measurable baseline.
Choose interpreted monitoring, implementation-led growth or a broader authority programme. Starting prices describe the level of engagement; the agreed scope confirms what is included.
Monitor
Know where your business appears, where it is absent and when the position changes.
Does not normally include development, substantial content production, monthly implementation, PR delivery or authority outreach.
Implement
Improve the technical, content, proof and entity signals shaping how search and AI systems understand and recommend the business.
Content volume, authority work and implementation scope depend on the agreed market, websites and commercial priorities.
From £2,000 + VAT/month
Minimum three months; six may be recommended for broader programmes
Compete
Compete proactively for the recommendations, citations and third-party authority currently being captured by better-positioned rivals.
Specialist PR, paid placements, research, data, media production and third-party services may be scoped separately.
These services are scoped after an initial conversation or focused definition phase. No fixed implementation price is implied before the work is understood.

Veda AI does not price complex work by guessing at a feature list. The scope is defined around the outcome, the uncertainty and what it will take to deliver responsibly.
Implement internally, move into AI Strategy & Adoption, Intelligent Automation & Applied AI, use Veda Software engineering where deeper production work is required, or take no immediate action.
Implement internally, use Monitoring, move into AI Visibility Growth or Authority Partner, or take no immediate action. A retainer is never mandatory.
Audit credit rules

Partner and third-party costs
Specialist PR, placements, media, research, data, platforms, licences, cloud usage, security testing, engineering or large-scale content may be scoped separately and agreed before work begins.
Veda Software
Where deeper production software engineering is required, Veda Software may provide the implementation layer as part of one joined-up route. Responsibilities are clear before delivery.
Price versus cost
Poorly scoped work creates rework, weak adoption, unreliable systems and missed opportunities. Veda AI prices around defining and delivering the right outcome responsibly.
The Business Efficiency Audit is £995 + VAT and the AI Search Visibility Audit is £500 + VAT. The Free AI Strategy Call and qualified Free AI Search Visibility Snapshot are free.
