The £400 AI Visibility Sprint
The AI Visibility Sprint is a fixed-fee, £400, seven day engagement for Hertfordshire firms. It produces a dated table showing whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity currently cite your firm for the questions your clients actually ask, ships five concrete fixes, and sets a re-check date. There is no ongoing contract required.
Why fixed fee
Why does this exist as a fixed-fee sprint rather than a retainer pitch?
Because most Hertfordshire firms, especially professional practices used to being pitched vague retainer packages, have been burned before by a monthly invoice with no clear idea of what is actually being done for the money. The Sprint is deliberately the opposite: a small, fixed cost, a specific seven day timeframe, and a concrete, checkable output.
If it turns out to be useful, the ongoing Search + AI Visibility retainer is there to continue the work. If it is not, the fixes and the documented baseline are yours either way.
One fixed-fee sprint tells you whether Google and AI answers already know your firm exists, and gives you five fixes to close the gap.
The ledger
What does the citation ledger actually look like?
It is a straightforward table, built from real, dated tests, not estimates. Each row is a question your own clients would plausibly ask, and each column is an AI platform. Below is an illustrative example of the format, using placeholder queries, your actual sprint ledger uses your real firm and your real client questions.
| Question | ChatGPT | Google AI Overview | Perplexity |
|---|---|---|---|
| "[Your service] near [Hertfordshire town]" | Not cited | Not cited | Not cited |
| "Best [your service] in Hertfordshire" | Not cited | Cited | Not cited |
| "[Your firm name]" | Cited | Cited | Cited |
Illustrative format only. Your actual ledger is built from the real questions relevant to your firm, tested and dated on delivery.
The week
What happens across the seven days?
| Days | What happens |
|---|---|
| Days 1 to 2 | Baseline citation test. Ten to fifteen real client questions are tested across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity, and the results are recorded in the dated ledger, alongside a quick technical scan of robots.txt, schema and llms.txt status. |
| Days 3 to 5 | Five fixes shipped. The five fixes with the highest likely impact are chosen from the baseline scan, typically structured data corrections, an llms.txt file, robots.txt access rules for AI crawlers, and rewriting a key page's opening paragraphs to be directly extractable. |
| Days 6 to 7 | Ledger and re-check date. You receive the completed ledger, a plain-English summary of what was fixed and why, and a suggested re-check date, usually four to eight weeks out. |
FIXED
7
days from dated baseline to shipped fixes.
Not included
What is not included in the £400 fee?
The Sprint is deliberately scoped to be deliverable in a week for a fixed fee, so it does not include a full content rebuild, ongoing monthly reporting, or link building. Those are retainer-level activities covered on the pricing page. If the audit surfaces a larger technical problem, for example a migration issue affecting indexation, that gets flagged clearly rather than quietly worked around within the sprint's scope.
After
What happens if I want to continue after the sprint?
The natural next step is the Search + AI Visibility retainer, which re-runs the same citation ledger every month as the standing report, alongside ongoing technical, content and local SEO work. There is no pressure to continue, and the fixes made during the sprint remain yours either way.
Two kinds of Hertfordshire firm tend to get the most out of the Sprint. The first has never had a proper technical SEO audit, and the Sprint doubles as an accessible, low-cost way to find out what is actually wrong before spending more.
The second already does some SEO but has never specifically checked AI citation status, which is a distinct question from normal keyword rankings that most existing SEO reporting simply does not cover. It is a poor fit for a firm expecting an overnight ranking transformation, since no honest engagement of any size can promise that.
Questions raised
Frequently asked questions
What exactly do I get for £400?
A dated table showing whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity currently cite your firm for the questions your own clients ask, five specific fixes shipped within seven days, and an agreed re-check date.
Is £400 a one-off fee or the start of a subscription?
A one-off, fixed fee for the seven day sprint, with no obligation to continue. Afterwards you can move to the ongoing retainer, or simply keep the fixes that were shipped.
What happens after the 7 days?
You receive the completed citation ledger, the list of fixes made, and a suggested re-check date, typically four to eight weeks later.
Will the sprint guarantee I get cited by ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?
No engagement can honestly guarantee a specific AI citation, since the platforms make that decision themselves. What the sprint guarantees is a documented baseline and five real fixes.
Who is this actually for?
Any Hertfordshire firm that wants a factual, dated answer to whether it currently shows up in Google and in AI answers, before committing to any ongoing spend.
Get in touch with your firm name, website, and Hertfordshire service area, and the seven days start from there. Compare with the retainer.
